Rain-soaked eucalyptus tree
Has drooped down
Like a damsel in shower
Thin-waist lioness
Water-has drenched all her hairs
Soft touch of kiss with moistened quivering lips
In the glass-pane of the window
Scents of the drooping leaves of the tree
Carries invitation of an unknown island
In this rain-drenched day how can
Anybody refuses an invitation
From such an enchanting damsel?
