Tears

By Damien Basumatary

Rainbow in the blue skies seems to fade

Those dark clouds mercilessly invade

Scant droplets to such raging crusade

Tardy gust by the blizzard got swayed

Where do I hide feom the storm so bad?

The night has conquered the vivid light

Is there really a naught I could trade?

Let me home, I do not wish to fight.

As I look back, my heart slightly died

I'm hemmed in, like the bird in a cage

Voicing samey words from the inside

Bitterly crushed amidst the tempest.

Large raindrops pattering on my skin

Far-flung, there is but an empty hope

The spirt sway, the mind cannot win

The feet flee, only to drop and mope.

Tongue tied, as I lay on the wet grass

My courage dwindled and diminished

Beyond repair, like a shattered glass

As though for a treason, I'm punished.
