May have
a devotee
asked for rain
suddenly
began the downpour
mind turned dilemmatic
today-
the wind will blow faster than ever
or a tempest will arrive
else
any huge
catastrophe will occur.

Spoken words
are like splashed water
and short messages
reach to our heart
as if
nettle thorns
are inserted into our skin
and teasing
human tolerance.

This rain
might bring
a joyous new morning
or may shower
the concentrated nitric acid.

Clouds
neither black nor white
not even brown
the drops coming from
colorless clouds
show her image
her lovely face
deep eyes
with a splash
of her sweet voice.

Hope that she'll come
and spread
her beauty
and tell me the reason why
the clouds are sobbing.

Her laughter
will pacify
the pace of water
and the devotee's praying
will be justifiable
beacause
entire universe is
upon her lips.
