Rainy Love
How will I describe your beauty with rainy season?
You are lovely,lovelyest and moderate like county family
I can't describe you-you are beyond description
You are like clouds in cape always ready to shed tears of joy with its rhythmic beat
Upon the earth, right after the ravage Sand dune and swing of heat
Every plant,flower,bud and leaf
Blossom like you!
I laugh,hysterically at the wordings of the Preacher;
"Vanity of vanities
Vanity of vanities,all is vanity"
I will lay beside you all the time
My undying love for you will be better than Romeo and Juliet
For your love is better than wine
Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your name is ointment poured forth;
Hence,the world loves you except for the Preacher
Behold, you are fair, my love!
Behold,you are fair
You have dove's eyes
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see;you are immortal
Behold, you are handsome, my love!
Yes,with your seductive greyish eyes
I will run after you
I was light-skin and lovely
Look upon me now, because I am dark,
the sun has tanned me, Alas!
In wet season, by night on my bed,
I sought for Rainy;the one I love
I sought,but I did not find!
I will rise now, and find my Rainy Love-in the streets,in the squares,in the market places,in the brothels and motels
I will seek the one I love
I sought for Rainy, but I did not find
They Vigilantes found me in dismay, I said;"Have you seen the one I love, Rainy?"
They replied;No
One amongst them asked;"Who is Rainy?"
I replied;"a part of me"
Now,I know the meaning of the wordings of the Preacher;
"Vanity of Vanities
Vanity of Vanities,all is vanity"
