Is it reward from Nature
The draught – deprivation of water
Endured by the plants! —
Wilting with’ bending – body’
While it was vanishing rapidly —
The new expectation
Along with clouds! —- For the upcoming shower
Shiny new shoots; which withstood —-
Swishing and uttering
With their kith and kin — Rejoicing!
For the celebration of their survival
‘Flower—plants’ too sake shower! –
The long-lasting freshness!
Rather than ‘pouring –water’
Though the ‘dew –rain’, ‘flower-rain’,
already changed!
Hence it’s irregular pattern —
Peels of thunder
‘Gurgling—sounds’ —-
Warning! to the earth
Reminding! With the ‘former- experience’
Along with the ‘trembling –hearts’—
‘Nature’s wrath! Was declared
Beware! Of ‘monsoonal—rain’ —-
Is it a reward! From nature?
Words – Merril Perera
Sunray
All those burning sunrays,
They don’t match with your smile, babe
Your eyes are deeper than the sea
It’s more than I could see
I could drown there, no problem
Probably ‘cause it’s you
How’d you put the fuel,
To my burning heart, because of you?
My sunray, my moon,
Your all I could bear
And all I cannot.
My moon, and my sunray,
How’d you light me up
Like no other moon?
