Ashvini Swamy Poems

across the dunes of time
roamed this lonely heart alone
mystified by mirages of love
then on the horizon I saw
...

once I was king
easy come easy go!
outside my palace gates
the devil played...
...

today I slept under the stars
dreaming of God
the universe
and you
...

thy clouds shall not cast
a shadow on this heart today...
for I have swallowed the sun!
...

willingly did I fall from grace
for the house of my heart was crumbling
and made a deal with the devil
before these walls caved in
...

Only a blizzard blows now
between our warm talks
eyes, interestingly empty
yearnings murdered and at unrest
...

The light you shined
Darkened my path
Blinded my fury
Led astray my faith
...

The windchimes jangle no more
The curtains, sail-like bellow no more
The gentle sway of the tamarind has stopped
And the stillness has assumed a life of it's own
...

Under the star spangled sky night prevails,
Of not beauty but fear does she wear a veil,
Creatures Of the underworld roam abound,
No where but no where solace is to be found,
...
