jyoti saxena Poems

Dusty deserted sidewalks
Barred doors with locks
Dustbins bursting with dirt
Greet the lonesome child
...

They landed with a soft thud
They scratched
They pinched
They bit
...

People take marijuana
and sugars hard
I realize it is high time
I too played my part.
...

Your shadow walks beside me at the horizon
it merges with me somewhere
outlines and silhouttes are substantialized
ready to be hugged
...

Ride royally the waters
Oh! boat of my soul.
Let there be gentle wind with me
a star or two for company.
...

Why does a shadow always eclipse
The brightest and the sunniest of days
Just when everything seems right
Another shadow appears in sight
...

The rose
had a tiff with the thorn
relationship wormed
it filed for divorce.
...

She is a mother of two
She irrigated their life
With her blood, it is true.
...

The earth rotates on its axis-
They say.
What if the axis topples one day?
How much longer can it hold
...

Of course, you can hate
It is allowed at every age
For it is the strongest emotion
That keeps the earth in motion!
...
