A single drop of rain

Shukdeb Mazumder 

Only a single drop of rain rolling

down your cheek 

made a rainy day for me-

not decorated with times when

I usually while away hours 

with taking tea or coffee at ease,

having pleasant chat,

or behaving like a man

absorbed in the past, 

or in the vast mood 

full of likelihood of producing 

poems or stories,

or in the finding of treasuries  

where the treasure of my 

passion or enjoyment is stored-

but decorated with times 

abounding with sadness

by the intrigue of which 

the sky is not singing- crying it is

with a lot of tears!

In place of romantic rain drops  

now there is a lot of tears!

Only a single drop of rain

come of your eyes 

never dies 

rather acts like a heroine  

and wins over its loved one.
