Kishore Asthana Poems

Where fact and fantasy mix and swirl
Life and destiny, like ruby and pearl
May adorn you and unfurl
Their banner for your every work
...

Come to me with your make up on
And let me kiss it away in the twilight
When you wake up at our dawn
Touch me with your memories of the night
...

1.

There are times
When we do not laugh together
...

Magic roots I cared not for
Incantations by the thousands
floated away
Just then you smiled at me
...

Of lost love we talked
Of wasted time
Of happenings great and small
To people, known and unknown
...

Let me celebrate with a ritual
Old and new
Let thunder and lightening
Stay out for the moment
...

Some nights, drenched in your love
I can hear a cosmic shout
And I know, what a star feels
As the glow within
...

Remove this veil of pretend 'tween us
Let you be you and me, me
Its a long time since we've been us
In a quiet moment, disarmed, said he
...

Tonight
I look at you
And know
I am home
...

Let me write your songs for you
So when you sing, I touch your lips
And something old, something new
Lures away a thousand ships
...
