Starlight drunk the rainfall,
Because rain refused to shawl,
Upon my heartbeats in the blizzard,
Left me lying when injured.
Viridescent blades in sight,
Brooklets simmering within light,
Petrichor consuming me,
Irenic Somnolence in destiny.
Chatoyancy bleeding off the green,
Epiphany yet to be seen,
Because everytime the drops came down,
I remember you etched in incandescent brown.
Ineffable sentiment to write out,
Cloudbursts overhead went blue-spout,
Because I take another monsoon to write,
Of all your memories that night.
Labyrinth of nefarious midsummer,
Mother Luna left alone to stun her,
Because I taint a silhouette in your iris,
Starbright, lilac, surreptitious, desirous.
Velvet syllables you crafted in our meadow,
Infatuation outside the window,
Because like grass on a rainy day,
I remember the scent of you fading away.
Sakura is a young poet residing in Japan, where inspiration is not short; from cherry blossoms to Tokyo's rushlights. Driven by ambition and confidence, she aims to put out her literary work to express different feelings. Her long term goal is to publish a physical poetry collection of love letters.
"Monsoon Reverie" is the remembrance of a beloved, taken away on a rainy day. It is the feeling associated with comfort and home; hiraeth while combining it with nostalgia. The rain makes us love. So in rain, love shall be.
