For a Shower of Rain

For A Shower Of Rain

             Dr. Ranjit Dutta

Once you said--
This is the first
Rain of monsoon
Let us both 
Get wet together.
Moonlight dribbles
In dreamland
Let us play
with moondrops
With silvery shoes.
You said once too-
Open the closed door
Let a spring breez 
Enter to the room.
The silvery  tamarisks 
Are dancing marily,
Let us go quietly
Beyond the horizon.
What a time it was !
A  crazy time
Of my  golden youth!
A time 
Much earlier  of my
House arrest days
In a hush  island.
Staying far distant
In sullen moments,
I feel your warm touch
On my forehead,
And waiting eagerly
Even today
For a shower of
Monsoon  rain.
