Lakshmi Karat Poems

It was a moonlit night...
He was there with some idols,
He said to all..Come.. God for Sale!
He was selling God to them..
...

Felt my life…
With my Senses..
Saw colors vanishing to white…
Heard swaras mixing to music..
...

Her heart was bleeding..
I know this is only coz of me!
I know only me could heal her wound.
But how could I get wounded myself.
...

Tickled by the dew…flower smiled..
Sunrays blessed her with a rainbow..
She sweetly presented to sister earth..
Sky was in love with earth..
...

I thought to express it by words..
He always hated listening!
I thought of conveying by deeds.
Oops I presented it odd!
...

Saving a second for sake…
The sake was not a mere escape..
Dreaming for a whole single night..
Dreams really plucked from that face.
...

How I heard those sobs, none was sad,
All faces were cheerful and bright.
From some unknown place, an unheard voice,
Who is trying to have me along..
...

To be your mo’m..
Is all about,
Singing a song..
Playing along…
...

When she wandered around the dessert

She swiped that clouds to quench her thirst.
Down came those drops detached from the grey lap.
...

Yes I do..Promise..

There must be some reasons behind my smile..
There must be some happiness around my joy.
