Summer Sundown

Walking on my roof top,
Watching the sun set
With my body dripping wet.
Wondering why the sun makes me rain sweat...


Heat of the summer,
Repeats the glasses of water I drink.
I wonder where the water goes,
My body shows where it does.


The sun shines brighter than ever,
I smile, looking brighter than ever,
The reason, the shine of my bright white teeth,
On my dark tanned face!


I look darker than ever,
As I was fried in the eternal heater forever,
I change colour, From the bright white day
To a dark black night with shimmering stars.

-Santosh Gopi Nair


P.S. Wow i am in a shock at penning my second poem, I thought the first one was a streak of imagination that comes once in a while, but the second one has given more confidence to pen more.... Ur comments on this, will strengthen my pursuit further....
