Lightening In The Arcade Poem by AKSHAYA KUMAR DAS

Lightening in the arcade..
......
Night sky covered with clouds,
Not a single star visible in the round,

Rainy Season gives clouds a free ride,
The arcade moves towards the waiting bride,

The greenery waiting at the altar,
Rains visit the earth with drizzles of laughter,

Thunder bursting like the cracker,
Lightening shining the procession,

Wind joins the groom's arcade,
Rain soaked arcade breaking the barricade,

The rain water flowing like a brook,
The season in moods of fiesta with the look,

The frog band playing the auspicious music,
The rain drops sounding like the tabla beats,

Wind whistling like the bigul,
Trees shaking their heads dancing in regale,

The marriage of the season,
Creates an ecstatic fusion,

Lightening in the arcade,
Thunder breaking the borders of the barricade,
.....
