Mamta Sagar Poems

The suragi flower's fragrance,
the fragrance of the earth
after the rains, the fragrance
of cashew roasted on burning coal -
...

Sorrows held back and stored
within, break loose, ooze
out, comes down as rain.
...

Like this a petite body, inside the body a mind
The mind contains a heart.
Body of the mind and mind of the body
Is there a link between the two?
...

One there, one here, dreams,
mixed up dreams;
dreams, two of the same kind, like
two-in-one, the dreams.
...

Inside the river are the sky,
the cloud, the cold sun.
cupped in my hands the river.
...

Sob! The rain sobs!
like the sobbing depressed mind
sob by sob it rains.
...

Me and him
getting wet;
in the distanc
...

The sharp word,
the pricking silence,
as spear-points tear into flesh,
the pain pours in red.
...

On the edge of a platform of light
A shadow like darkness
Crouches and watches
Moves so slowly it's as if it hasn't moved at all
...

the song,
when it fell
crumbled
collapsed,
...
