Rain Brought Us Together Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Rain Brought Us Together



To shield ourselves from rain
That gustily needled the skin
We were together once again
Me and my canine kin.
Don’t think it’s one I call pet
It’s just that I couldn’t be aloof
Drawn together in one ill fate
I was with the creature under one roof.
Thoroughly drenched its bones shook
Its flesh the fleas feasted free
Its eyes were moist with a pleading look
Apologetic for forcing me its company.
Has ever love showered on it or a little caress
Does it pine for the heart’s glowing fire?
There was no trace of them carved on its face
The street pariah was forbidden to aspire.
Suddenly I wished the rain would go on
In a frenzied kindness I would hold it tight
Whisper in its ear ‘you aren’t alone,
we together can tide over the night’.
