On A Rainy Evening

By Dr. Shilpa Chakrabarti

Upon the soft couch there,

In your arms wrapped, I lay calm, held with care,

With kohl-rimmed eyes, at you, I stare:

Your eyes, were brimming with passion- I see so rare,

Like the dark clouds, that the monsoon sky wears.

In a few moments, it began to pour, wetting the air.

Shedding the rain loaded in them,

the sound of downpour can, anyone, ensnare.

***

The warmth of your breath,

Those folds of your perspiring skin,

Pamper my desires

Enhance the romance

of the season of rain….

How playfully,

How mischievously

Raindrops caress my face;

With the wild rain-bearing winds

my inhibition is let lose, to evaporate-

I melt along with the drizzling droplets,

unfurling the minutes of an unscripted magical date!

While our love gets warmer, we

are drenched in rain.
