Kishore Asthana Poems

One day
When I was on the sea,
...

I cannot be there, Lord
When you decide to come to me
...

This body,
Loves this body, and that
While the Soul I am
Watches amused
...

There is many a 'you'
In a time-line queue
And when I look back
Love overflows
...

Once upon a time in a theatre far away
Archimedes, Euclid & Newton were acting in a play
Archimides was in a bathtub, watching its level
Euclid was measuring angles with a bevel
...

When I voted I anointed lawmakers
Seven score with criminal cases
Who get annoyed when someone removes
The masks from their real faces
...

On this side of death
Are those you love
On the that, too,
They wait for you
...

There is,
Within me and without,
A 'Me' that answers to no name
And all the names there are
...

Anticipation of Bliss
Alas,
Holding it back
While emptiness awaits,
...

Make no tombstones for me
For I will live on in you,
Just gone to change my body now
Will soon be back - good as new
...
