DEPRESSING RAIN

Posies of buds under drizzles

of  depression rain

under cover of a misty look

as if a ruin from heaven

swaying  their battered heads

under  ceaseless pain

with  their boughs not being able

to  hold them back again.

Young blossoms before full bloom

with  shrieks of sighs and nonstop swoon

and  young leaves shed as corpses

not  being able to bear with lashes ;

their young dreams

crushed under layers of mud

breaking sleep of birds

with their repeated thud

pounding their hearts

with rough wind and rain

from which it seems

none can recover again !!!
