TROPICAL MONSOON VISITING BENGAL
===================================
The whole of the day
the gloomy face of sky remains covered by darkening clouds
And ---------
like tears on the face of a deserted lover
drip-drip - drip ; drop rain -drops all over
and all the while since last night from the sky
in response , with fitting empathy
Yet this whole of the day, - the dear Sun is an absconder
with no sign of any return even as the day ends !
The very green spread-wide landscape- face of earth
is soaked and wet
Some time is heard ,- the saddened breeze all around
almost to the tune of a weeping lover left behind !
Now and then , the heavily thick and wet leaves near about
respond and shake up in vibrating voice of dumb sympathy !
A full night and day's absence of the lover - Sun
is printed clean and wide
on the face of this tropical earth !
