Poem: The Raga Of The Rains

'The weekend hangs like nausea on a hot summer noon' - The author delves into the heaviness of being alone.

The parting meanders between us바카라” 
An untamed river in oil colours,  
It reeks of turpentine memories
minced in a butcher바카라™s shop nearby. 
The weekend hangs like nausea
on a hot summer noon~

Dark clouds call  
like a raven from an empty room  

Alone!

I wait like a fallen angel
Making perfect paper boats,
Swiping the Meghaduta verses
in loud silence of the raindrops,  

Desiring your return
in the trail of my tears바카라”
The raga of the rains, all night
