SUMMER RAINS

In the searing heat
of a summer month
a summer rain to the
accompaniment of thunder and storm
lashed our land one day.
The profusely sweating
people of the locality
especially the newly wed
couples rejoiced
in the gentle, cool, ambience
and with the arrival of
night listening to the
rustling leaves with
rain drops dropping one by one
the couples got immersed
in conjugal bliss.
The next day the blazing
summer bounced back with
renewed vigour and intensity
forcing the people
complaining to each other
about the scorching heat
burning sun rays piercing their
bodies like thorns
thrust into the skins
of one’s body
turning one totally
exhausted.
