Mamta Agarwal (March 27,1951 / India)
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! A light drizzle is all I want...! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Just love me from afar,
See how I flourish
Too up, close and personal
I have seen it perish,
Turn to contempt.
Any attempt to
Resurrect
What once was
Is like chasing a mirage…
Just gently drizzle
Like a gentle shower.
Like the wind that
Tousles my hair
And then goes on
Barely touching me
Flirting, with me,
Making me happy.
Keeps the
Ardour vibrant and alive.
Don’t burst as a torrent
And soak me wet
To the depth of my being.
It’s just spent
At that moment in time.
I just want a drizzle
From time to time,
Why, you look puzzled
All I am asking
Is taking your time,
And giving us
A chance at love…

it is a lovely poem of love, mellowed from a downpour to a light soothing drizzle, which willbe like a assuarance, of a lasting love.great write mamta, the lines are too good, and i really enjoyed going through this poem.
Come, not as storm
That drowns my being;
Come as a spring
With a flowery swing,
With all its fragrance
That lingers on
Like the sweet memories
Of the days foregone.

lovely and a very reasonable request...we don't enjoy a storm..it seems like anger to us..we enjoy may as you say a flirting breeze...similarly we may not stand out on a torrential rain a gentle drizzle...beautiful expressions
Neither physical nor spiritual, you are asking for a new releationship in love which is very much emotional in its essence but very gentle and smooth in nature with steadiness and composure of passions. I think you are pointing to a new dimension of love and opening a new vista for lovers. A very fine piece of write, Mamta...10/10.
