Draughtland

You ask me to write of love
And I flick my dry pen
In hope for some ink to pour.

Monsoon’s over, and it’s
Winter spell in November.
We are in my drought struck land.

A flower still gay, smiles
Yours Seeking acquiesce my
Acquitted cacti causes sores.

You hope for autumn
The Month of February.
Future is present that unrolls.

Baby, take your flower away
To thorns trimmed roses.
It’s drought struck here
Where poor farmers suicide.
