Dragonflies All Over My Head


A day before, I was sitting on my verandah lost myself somewhere in my past. All of a sudden there came as many as dragonflies dancing all over my head, and I partly noticed them, but I still am lost. And then there came the rain drenching me in it. After that, I wrote this poem.

            Millions Of Dragonflies

Millions of dragonflies right over my head
And all I could feel was the drizzling pain
They are dancing in the air
Embracing the odour of earth
Just before the rain that is yet to rinse

And all I could feel was the drizzling rain of pain
Then came the rain and the pain is still there
waiting for the rain to pour 
And make my eyes wet again
As the rain inside me poured a lot 
And drained long ago
All I could do was to wait for the rain 
To make me feel an illusion of crying 

The rain is long gone
But why not the pain
It's still pouring inside 
But will  never let my eyes rain 
And my pain drain 
Again came the dragonflies
Flying right over my head
And all I could feel was my everlasting pain!

Nice to hear from you. Do leave a comment.
