Those winter nights when it rains, <br />When the soft silence suddenly fades, <br />And thunder appears as blood in sky's veins, <br />Like short bursts of light in mysterious braids, <br />The next moment none of it remains, <br />Along with it sleep from my eyes also evades, <br />The crowded shades, the empty plains, <br />Those mesmerizing winter nights when it rains, <br />When it rains with a melody that contains, <br />A magical spell that never seems to break, <br />And that ever-fresh smell the rain retains, <br />My heart hungrier, it never ceases to make, <br />While others enjoy their warm sleep I remain awake, <br />Enjoying those winter nights when it rains.<br /><br />Abdul Rafay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-winter-nights/
