time swallows the delta of a river

dont rain now,
let some stains stay
like the marks of meaningless meanderings
or meaningful encounters
of strong storms with the rocks
that are no more very strong
weathered over the years
are willing to fertilize the fields in the valley,
will you please let flowers grow amidst cacti
and hurt me, as and when they pelase,
let some blood ooze
let some pain engrave
its impressions
on my eyelids
may be i will not see again
the red rows of cherries
lest i squeeze them
or the time swallows the delta of a river

  1. Sir, I admire your range in this poem. From rains to rivers through stains, rocks, cacti, flowers, and blood..
    Loved that aspect of this one.
    Thanks for sharing
