KUNAL SETH Poems

I stood there every day every night
The heads never turned even when I was bright
I oversaw my guests, my flowers and occasional nests
I was carefully placed from where I could watch all the gates
...

Resigned wishes of benign eyes
Every where they speak of unlit fires
Slowly spreading like bacteria
Causing a numb hysteria
...

Eyes are like 2 bottles of wine
From a distance you cannot tell if they are empty or full
Mystifying every second
Justifying every myth.
...

Today I float like a bubble in your beautiful world
I am not trapped with delight
Just caught in the wrong frame
The one I have seen before
...

Stirred souls confused byproducts of a generous tribe
Conversations about vices by so called wise
Pledging on deprived feelings
Some bartered some are so mine
...

In a little while your illusion will burst
In a little while the mystery will reveal itself
In a little while day will turn itself inside out
In a little while I’l be a closed book
...

Disappeared or distantly you appeared
Mixed with confusion
Philosophy of a perfect union
Touch of an unknown friend
...

Wherever these shoes took me
I took you along
No hesitation
No fear of admonition
...

Trying to figure the combination
That unlocks your mind
Like the canary from the islands
Easier it sounded when written on sand
...

Last dropp of us is intoxication
A benevolent medication
A panacea that cured all ills
Nothing else better fills
...
