Aniruddha Pathak Poems

I look at dawn's dewy fall—
Virtual pearls they all,
Nature's tears of joy!

Two birds, beak on plumes,
Soon as love consumes,
Each its way assumes!

Life and death
Tied are in one thread,
In one faith,
One each at either end,
...

Cutting to core, to beauty's barest bone,
Chipping and chopping does work a sculptor,
Probing in passion a huge chunk of stone,
Lost in deep search he's a fine creator.
...

Time's always now on a lone island

Imagine on a lone remote island,
In the lap of wilderness and nowhere,
...

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
...
