Rain Fed Words. Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Rain Fed Words.



She came in a twilight
when the rains were pouring
with vigour akin to a scythe
that rammed through the
invisible atmosphere.

She was not drenched in the rain,
may be she herself was the rain.
the hesitant words which
stood still till then poured out in
that twilight like an ode to that rain.

After that twilight
how many rains came and went
and there is a rain that
lies hidden now even in the white
clouds that stood motionless
in the infinite skies up above.

Even now in twilights I await
that rain or even a rain
that is emaciated by aching
times that I live through.
In the rain from the rain
if only she emerged again.

Rains that I saw after that
unreal twilight poured not as
drops but in her form
the formless form which
seemed like the foam that
the rain germinated on the
rugged grounds around me.

The words that I wrote about her
got washed away in rains
leaving behind traces which
I try to decipher day in and out.
like lines in water the words
about her,
thoughts like the
ground in orgasmic lethargy
that the libidinous rain left behind.

After that I never wrote about her
or the rains that I saw.
How can I write about the rain
or the rain that's she,
which like an impish child
dissolved my writings into
non existence.

But the words that spur me now
the words that I owe my being to
were born in that twilight
when she came as a rain
when the rain and she played
hide and seek before my
eyes that blinked a million times.

The twilights are
when I am alive
when I look for that rain,
that rain which fed words into
my veins, and which is now the
blood that sustains my being.
I know that rain was her way of
infusing life into a still born.
Twilight, rains and rain fed words
Yes I am alive to write only to write.
