On a rainy day

a poem by Parthap Ratim Banerjee

You can meet me wherever you want
From Coffee house to Esplanade
From Pudong to Trafelgar square
But only on a rainy day

I am always out on a rainy day
That’s the day you may wait under a shade
Wait till the rain stop
That’s the time I may pop up

I have many unusual things to share
I am keeping since long
To give it to my friend
Like you on a rainy day

Kept a packet full of shadow
To cover you during the summer day
Kept a bag full of Sun ray
To light you for better show

I need friends, love-rain
Blue sky, cool breeze, lash green field
A small shelter in a deserted mountain
Do you care for all I want?

Then come and get me anytime
On a crowded bus or on a jam-packed street
Or anyplace wherever you want

But on a rainy day rainy rainy day
