Mamta Agarwal Poems

As the Sun rises,
Sunflowers lift their faces
In adoration.
Some miss the soft light of dawn;
...

As I heard sound of footsteps outside my door
I stifled my sobs in my throat
And pretended to be fast asleep
As I like to deal privately with my grief.
...

Live life abundantly
Is what I tell myself daily.

Whenever I stray
...

What is it about you,
I just look
In adoration,
I watch in delight...
...

Can it be…
Pansies are clairvoyant?

I had an uncanny feeling
...

Tracing features of your face from memory,
Could see time deeply engraved its footprints.
When we met, your luminous deep set eyes
Crinkled as we laughed at most mundane things.
...

Garnet coloured pearly
Pearly slippery arils tumble out,
As I peel a pomegranate.
...

Sitting by a forest brook
On the grass under a tree;
Just my little girl and me
I read to her from a book.
...
