## Drenching Sunlight
I am drenched by the sunlight.
I can only go out in night.
For, me, my sins have clenched.
By the sunlight I am drenched.
Moon lies shattered in your eyes.
After my sins no good can suffice.
I lay in the night quietly battered.
In your eyes, Moon lies shattered.
The days are uncomfortable.
Is the good unattainable?
When I wake up, will I be outta this daze?
Uncomfortable are the days.
Being dry remains my comfort.
But in day, I stay alert.
Can't expect anything from soaking light.
Remains my comfort being dry.
When I like raindrops,
All the drenching stops.
Maybe I can be something then.
I like raindrops when.
When the chill wind slaps
And the crunchy snowland claps,
I stealthily step into a winter land,
It's a wonder land
The frozen river gleefully welcomes me
Contorting their branches, the pine trees glee
Gliding through the river glassy
I reach the whiteland classy
Amid the foamy land
All alone I stand,
Counting the stars bound,
I wander around
Suddenly A light flashes
O!!! O!!! O!!! It's Aurora...
A dream come true
My eyeballs glow
A blue light flashes in the sky
Followed by it, a violet light blazes
And then an orange light
Now, something bright
Oh wow... It's a teal green
Too Pure and clean
Are these the lights send by aliens?
Or the lights straight from the heaven?
And Yes...
It soothes... It mesmerizes...
It calms... It heals...
The immortal bliss, it reveals...
When the divine rays nudge the river,
It melts as if the frozen river shivers
Now the rays spread across
And so the magic does
The winter land now a colourful land
with harlequin magical lights all around
Drenching in these northern lights divine
And shunning the earthly emotions, I shine!!!

all pouring rain falls
falls down on me dispensing
your solid dew drops
~
falling on me cold
with tears from Angels crying
falling on me soaked
~
and wet my body
stain my body drenched and
in dew wetness spent

Lands around water sodden
Unsafe to be trodden
Landscape turned to green from brown
Watter logged and cold drawn
Roads brown and grey
Littered with water puddles
Under big trees animals huddles
We all looked forward to this rain
Its now a sort of a pain.....
Blue skies now overcast and grey
No sign of a single sun ray
I let this rain kiss me
Let all see that it caresses me
... how it wets me with silver drops
As within me a peppy feeling crops
Wetness falls on me from up above
Some hate it but i find in it lots of love
Feels so content when in this rain
No sorrow or feelings of pain
May catch a cold but i just dont care
A soothing sensation from the grass below to the clean fresh air
I now arise and walk in this rain
Having captured these precious moments in my brain
My minds eye watches but moments gone
On a puff of cloud moved on...
No sorrow or feelings of pain..
When drenching in this rain
yellow swallowtail butterfly
clings to tiger lily's blossom
A forehead wrinkles
at the pounding of water from the sky
It kind of wishes that
it could d
r
o
w
n out
thoughts and feelings
but it only serves
to m a g n i f y them
background droll music
to an overthinker's mundane life
a fold here,
a crease there
origami wings
that are limp,
drenched
looking pretty lonely and pathetic
under, that, crying, sky, , , ,
, , , ,
To find peace,
you break the coconut,
a ritual to dent
the dark night.
Amnesia disconnects
your pronouns.
You do not remember
your name.
A monkey or a fowl.
The existence was
the same for your
unknown inheritance.
Want to collect the golden
motif; from the
old brick house, sans
a real god, old brick house.
A straight line hangs
from a roof, igniting the
faith. There was no ghost
no jinni.
Satish Verma
Whispers that were spoken were done to cause pain
Tears that were shed slowly became a stormy rain
Fear and anguish hovered and became a filmy dew
The deluge discussion lingered and was in the wind that blew
Heartache was there ending point to show an inner power
They will never ever recover from that volley shower
A torrential flurry was finally done just to even the score
Apologies will never come from this drenching soulless downpour
