THE RESPITE


The city was literally burning
and the citizens literally melting
with an angry, agitated Sun
showering fire over
the city through his thousand
red-hot eyes.
These are his times
I mean, the searing Summer.
With the atmospheric temperature
gaining the upper hand
over the body temperatures
Sun was literally striking
with citizens convulsing with
Sun burns and Sun strokes.
Our prayers turned to 
the Rain God
to have some mercy on us
by spreading a thick dark
blanket of clouds
thus obstructing the
unrelenting sun
from raining fires thru
his thousand eyes
which are red-hot
and blinding.
Rain God must have
heard our months long
non-stop prayers
after a long spell
he showered
his cool, loving
and caring honey drops
over our city lavishly.
Through the windows
mind you, all windows
and doors are kept on
these days
since the sun began to
cast his fiery spell
with fans contracting
madness by showering
hot waves over us
not affectionate and cooling embraces.
I watched with delight
the drops of love
cooling the city as a whole
four hours together.
At least for today night
we citizens can sleep
peacefully….
what about tomorrow?
No doubt.
Sun with revenge
in his thousand red-hot eyes
will start raining fire
over the city
literally burning it
literally melting us citizens
‘cause, these are his times.
I mean the Summer.
