Rains

It’s raining outside I can see on my window panes Rain droplets slide Inside seemingly dry eyes something triggers rains Memories are cruel They don’t spare O agonizing thoughts! Do not fuel the flame And waste the gems rare The storm has been building for ages I know The despair left no trace of hope’s glow I wore a smiling face just for show O unwelcome guest! I bid you to go Why should I remember the haunting moments? Why should I recollect the heart wrenching times? Where are the images that heart enchants? Where is the melody with rhythm and rhymes? Go, go, go O clouds of despair With your deafening noise of lightning and thunder Lend me your ears and let me declare I fight aggression, I do not surrender I can see on my window panes rain droplets glide Alone in this dreary night and no one by my side The thundering clouds with menacing deafening pride O my restless soul the worldly rules abide Karachi, Dec. 27, 2012

This to me is a beautiful poem. I just love this type of poems. Rain does triger something inside of us. My first poem that got published in a book was called Rain. That was when i started to write more. Mine was not as good as yours. I might post it later here. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

NOW I have read your poem and I really like how you coincided your own crying and pain with the rain drops sliding down the window pane. Very good poem!

Hello Mohammad Yamin, wishing you a great 2013... about your poem: Sometimes I like the rain cause it makes me feel the core of my soul. not all my memories are good.. some burn like the flame in your "The Flame" senryu... yes, the deeper the rain the less magical the flame feels... one should never give to the scenery... enjoyed this poem alot... always~pd
