Madhav Sarkunde Poems

Forty years flew away
And I did not sleep a bit
I can’t afford to sleep.
...

1
Who knows what will
Befall you tomorrow?
So let us seed a plant
...

While living for poetry
the gullible grief grew wise
and the lonely sun of words
found a plea to sing and rise.
...

My father
And father
Of my father
All Spent
...

I am not ashamed
In befooling myself
In your eyes……
You go on hating me
...

I cannot forget you
But I don’t know why
Missing you all the while,
My heart does cry
...

Come on, let’s plant
Our tender feelings
In the soil of time
And hope for flowers
...

I don't know
Where this road leads
But I do know
If we take it
...

Still he loves me
And ensures the same
In all lives to come
But l want to tell him
...

All days are not same
And so aren't nights
One can raise onself
If honestly he fights.
