Red And Only Red Poem by Aftab Alam

Heavy rain,
Cats and dogs on drain,
Floating-enjoying-
Mewing - barking,
Dying with gain,

No roof,
No shade,
No hole,
No place to hide,
Except chide,

Rain of fear,
My dear,
A heavy blood rain,
Love, Hope, Fraternity,
Trust, Faith, Thought,
All falling into the Ocean of Hatred
Red-RED- RED and only Red

Shining into the dark and fearful mind,
Like the eyes of beast shone that night,
And I recited holy verses,
For I sought—
Onto me leopard must be kind…
