Aniruddha Pathak Poems

‘It's all about a bit of bite
‘To eat and fill my hungry maw,
‘To that end these skies I soar
‘Over every inch of land to pour,
...

This is my prized catch,
Bet, if you ever can match
E'en tiny a patch,
...

An ill-informed fool, what to state?
Kabeer feels shy of such a fate.
Like dancing ‘tis before a blind—
Futile an art, vain one may find.
...

We all hail flower's beauty,
Thorn's duty the least,
And no'ne feels guilty.
…
...

She saw it as smart-fit sporty blouse,
But poor she, it drew forth parents' grouse.
When asked this was her take:
It's all for students' sake,
...

Take serpent, or mad-hat king,
A tiger, wasp that would sting,
Take a stray dog, or small child,
Or a fool far off exiled:
...

That is poetry
So sensuous,
A mere earful she
Would make a poet's heart
...

If soul a circle were
Whose fringes lie nowhere
And centre somewhere in us,
If death moves this centre
...

Some wishes reach
A ripe old age,
And still remain virgin,
Some might get fulfilled nigh young,
...

If you still like to get wet in rain,
Every bird if to you sings as sweet,
If floral fragrance is rare treat,
Talking to stars never be in vain,
...
