Let It Rain!A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi
Let it rain,
for the ocean is thirsty. The ocean once filled by water; is now dried and dusty. My heart is at sea. The cloud is without moisture; I see no tears from the sky; I want Heaven to cry; and flood away my own tears. Let it rain I say! Since the sun has refused to rise. For the smile of the stars; It's an irritating response. It's insufficient to brighten the gloomed weather. Let there be conflict! Since peace makes ridicule of me. Let there be mooning; My star is far to reach, I see pride tag on its tail. Let the morning dews quit, and let there be a violet tears from the sky; for the dusts in my eyes are much, that only the agony of heaven can moist it. Quit your melodious tunes of sorrow; oh! tiny little stars and conceal yourselves. I see a storm coming, and the sun going to be dimmed. As for me! A dried sea fears no rain. A shattered mirror panics no longer at the hearing of a stone throw. The game is like this! Backward never, forward not yet; till there came a violet rain. © 2013 Bonaventure Onuabuchi |
