Lightning Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Lightning

Rating: 5.0


When the lightning
Flashed, your face
Brightened in my eyes.
It was raining heavily
The first day when
We met forever, dear
Between the greenery
Lightning, darkness and wind
We got drenched, and
You nestled to my chest.
All night, passionately
The veins of lightning
Were mingling in the air.

Now you are away
Far away from me
I don't know anything
About that lightning
Which fell on our fate,
Made us mere fools.

Just as the lightning was momentary, so was the love and dreams that accompanied it. In a flash, the lady love disappeared too. A sad poem of love.

Oh, I had such hopes in the beginning verse... but then love went astray and leaves such a pit of loneliness and doubt behind. Very well written, Suresh

The magic of a fleeting love is well painted on the canvas of this poem. Well expressed with compelling imagery.

On a rainy day interrupted by flashes of lightning, you met! But your beloved disappeared as a lightning through another flash of lightning that fell on your fate.

Lightening that brightens and cajoles all that's dream and allegoric lightening that ruins. Beautiful sir.
