Phuhaar, the drizzle is all that its title suggests – a gentle sparge on the senses, soaking us in love.
Neeru Agnihotri or Neer Agni her chosen moniker, writes with a depth of emotions.
Her poetry is neither lengthy, nor is it complicated (as sometimes poetry tends to be). No! Instead, it is introspective, at times philosophical and mostly thought provoking. It forces the reader to take a closer look at life, unravel its meaning and understand the onus of their actions. It makes a reader think, not just about the poem but also about the meaning of love and life. Is that not what most of us want from our reading, to be able to soak in the words and be left with a lingering impression?
Well, Phuhaar delivers on that front.
There are a few poems that spoke to me:
- Page 1 – I am a wild flower, take me anywhere and I will blossom.
- Page 4 – I went through miles of madness to find myself
- Page 12 – what a marvelous feeling it is to fall in love – more with yourself, less with the world.
- Page 16 – Dark stormy nights often bring up the most glorious sunshines.
- Page 22 –behind the doors, we are just a noise unheard
- Page 36 – I am not the victim of my circumstances, I am the survivor of my war inside.
- Page 64 – Sssshhhh say nothing, darling. Heart – to – heart, let our souls talk.
- Page 117 – the moment I found out that words have magic, I wrote my own destiny.
- Page 139 – Find me in the pauses between your heartbeats. I often come to rest there.
- Page 143 – I am at peace with my thoughts. I let them flow, they let me sleep.
My recommendation – If you are looking for a light book to pick up for a quiet evening and if you enjoy poetry, then do pick this one up. You are sure to be doused by the gentle sprinkle of emotions. It is a quick and easy read.
