Do not love me this vigorously… <br /> <br />Do not love me this fervently… <br /> <br />My heart is searing and sweltering, <br /> <br />With the agonizing torridity of your love. <br /> <br />The luscious dreams in my eyes are <br /> <br />Smoldering and burning out. <br /> <br />I never coveted for this much love <br /> <br />That I cannot compromise or cherish <br /> <br />Inside my heart’s mother of pearl. <br /> <br /> <br />All that I wanted was the complacent warmth <br /> <br />Of a minuscule spark of love, to haul the burden <br /> <br />Of a lugubrious despondency that weighed upon me. <br /> <br />And cross the Empty Quarter of a desert of <br /> <br />Arduous affliction that threatened my existence. <br /> <br /> <br />I managed to reach the shore struggling with <br /> <br />The waves of grueling misery, with the helping <br /> <br />Heart touch, of a loving hand stretched out towards me. <br /> <br /> <br />I could break the walls of a fortress of <br /> <br />The sweltering heat shield of the stifling summer, <br /> <br />With the chilling wetness of a moist kiss <br /> <br />Of your beguiling lips that lingered in mine. <br /> <br /> <br />I am surviving as a burning candle now, <br /> <br />Without perishing in the hell fire of my expectations, <br /> <br />Only with the fond memory I relish from the past, <br /> <br />Of a loving caress, of your soothing hand. <br /> <br /> <br />So do not drown me by immersing me <br /> <br />In the deluge of your savage love; <br /> <br />As I cannot withstand the sight of <br /> <br />A flayed heart by your lurid love …<br /><br />kunjubi varghese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/agitating-love/
