Other Poems Of Uma Devi Pochampalli Poem by Uma Pochampalli Goparaju

What do I write about love

What do I write about love
I don't know if I can or ever will
Love is a star shining so far away
I look at it and guide my way
as He looks at me with kindness
Sweetness I can feel for a split second
He fills my heart full of emotion
I experience the new wave of passion
I guess love is this sparkling twinkle in his loving eyes
I feel terrified when I get weird thoughts
That I will never be able to measure the infinite
Lengthy distance bearing the earth e' the star
Except in my feelings surmounting it all
When I turn my head and find a fallen rose
I pick it up to save my healing heart
From falling apart or shattering
Growing the feeling far from lust
I pick the flower from the rusty
Train of leaves lying on the ground
Reminding me of my duties I left
Incomplete and, unfinished dust filled
Like the poem I intend to complete
I keep it in a vase filling the empty space
In every corner of my quietly weeping
Mind, body, soul e' heart staring
Glaring the darkness around
Stopping my tears from falling down
Running along so as to sowing
and raising the hopes of joy in their place
to Transfer onto mother earth
cover the spaces, blooming into
a rhapsody Of happiness,
Giving me smiling bouquet of roses
Full of hope, returning the embrace
Holding me in his tight hug
Identifying me with the larks at the sea
Flying freely during sunset or sunrise,
May I sing your sweet name o Lord, if you please,
Accept my appeals e' bless us O heavens,
Allow me into your temple, church or Darga
to offer my prayers
God Bless us all with heavenly success
For my beloved countries e' civilizations
For my beloved, friends e' wellwishers
from stars across the universe e'
extra terrestrial space.
Thank you o Lord for
showing me that love thou are.


Dream


Lets be one tonight,

With each step that you take

In swinging me in your arms

And swirling in the sky



As I look into

Your smiling face

As it presses my lips

With the gentle

Softness and sweetness

I can feel touching

My soul and

Raving me with

Desire

I can only sing

That you love

Me tonight

Hold me close

To your heart

Let me be

With you



As I imagine in

The moonlit sky

The twinkling stars

And see you in my dreams

Vanishing into the

Night wishing

It to be true...



My Heart Seeks You Tonight

Tonight my heart
Seeks you
Tonight I feel like
Holding you
Tonight my mind goes
Swaying in air as if
You are taking me
In your arms, and
Swaying me off my feet
Tonight I feel like
bursting out in tearsTonight I want to
Wander into the thin air
Tonight I love to be with you!
Tonight I feel like I am
Young all over again
Tonight my heart desires to
Touch your lips
and be lost in the love

The colors I like

It is blue all along-
she fills her heart e' soul
Purple was just another
Cross of blue hue with pink
Jasmines, jades and penguins
Almost all shades in between
Black e' white are traversing
Her mind in rays of the sun
So are the moon and stars
Shine in space sparkling
White, with the proud
Colors o'purple heart
Pink healthy note o
Red, blue e' white
Sounds bright?
No it looks great,
Nothing's more right.
What is this she finds as if air tight?
Oh jeez, this is her delight
To hug him e' hear him sigh
Giving out a painful cry in shy
she knows he will not stop that night?
I guess she will have to call it a night
Yet it seems so tranquil and pleasant,
Worshiping him e' pouring her heart,
At a magenta rose like Ajanta deity's feet.
Stop this please, she says out loud,
as she needs to read and write
It's ok for a little while, not throughout,
I guess she can not stop with a thought e'
Ahem, I cannot put my pen to write
Although it is impossible to fight
I guess she knows who he is
No wonder he was ecstatic,
O it is him, her sweet love
There seems to
Be no end nor a beginning
With no rhyme or rhythm.
she has to go to work right now
she finds it hard to concentrate or do anything
as she is falling so much
Behind she cannot
Watch where she is Treading
her feet are so Heavy that she can hardly
See her toes, without bending
His piercing looks are breaking
her shyness, and breaking her backbones
O please be gentle, she seems to say,
for someone is bearing her heaving song
and wants to leave her sweetheart to continue at
A later time and date till she completes her
work pending, yet she cannot help
How she loves his blue eyes shining bright
Lover boy holding her captive, yet to preserve
the home of her junior to come
With round bright eyes, brown and curly locks
Of hair playing on his temple, touching cheeks,
Eyes and ears, with the softness of silk, looking
Like bronze and copper with dark clouds of nimbus
Touching the stratus joyously floating on waves o
Horizontal parallel curves blooming colors of blue
With a creamy transparent dew, dreaming under the
Stars and sunshine not minding day or night waiting
To arrive in a fine care of a nurse assisting the doctor
Untangling the baby from her uterine home dominating as
The moments pass increasing the rhythmic
Lamar breathing of inhaling, exhaling withholding e'
Relaxing each passing minute with pain throbbing with the wet
Sticky slurge of amniotic fluid gushing out without an
Outburst o' complain, may I continue later sweetheart
She seems to be saying just then the nurse says mantra
breath in and breath out and stop no further,
as she is going faster, and slower on e' on
The cries of the baby bring the mama back to senses
Gushing out the clear fluid out of her mammary
Giving the baby energy and vitamins for life
Keeping him off of the infectious germs
What a lovely feeling it is every time
Holding the new baby born, softer
Than finest muslin or French
Chiffon in ranges of rose
To pink sweetly clean
Lovely as a freshly
Bloomy jasmine
O baby mine
The proud Mama's Smiling
As though her eyes are saying
Love you kissing the papa, it is the new life that's begun.
oh wait, it is just a dream, she is fantasizing,
may be in a different life it will come to be realizing!


Identity
I am that which is a dream to you!
I am that which you can only imagine!
I am that who touched the brightness,
that you hoped you would see one day!
I am your love, your ambition, your spirit
that you cannot hold except see your reflection in me!
I am your mirror!


UHV Student Poetry
Seeing you
by Umadevi Pochampalli

The first time I saw you,
coming into the corridor,
All I could remember
Was the sparkle in your eyes!
The freshness of being yourself,
The agile way you carry yourself,
it was a sight to behold!
I still see you there,
with your gazing stare,
That can pierce any soul,
to wake up and still be cool!
And then when I saw you again,
You stood for us
With the strength of a mountain!
Carrying the world
On your shoulders,
And never seeming to be tired!
I sometimes saw you in pain,
Although you would never complain,
Sometimes just in concern,
However I know
After all
that,
I do not know you at all.
May be a zillion years may not do,
to understand the way I do
or to perceive what you would. A decade back: An afternoon in College Station
by Umadevi Pochampalli

As I sat in front of my porch,
I saw one lady gathering flowers.
She had a bunch of roses and lilies,
Along with some daisies and also violets,
she wore a blue flowing gown,
and her high heeled sandals
were quite dark for her pale blue stockings;
She had a scarf darker than the sea,
with flowers painted on it as if they were clouds.
She had a light blue hat,
to give her shade from the bright sunlight;
she bent down to pick the blue bonnets,
and looked at them with her pale blue eyes!
I stood there for sometime,
looking for the yellow school bus,
and wondering why it is taking
forever today.
I went back again and was folding brown bags,
tucking the stale newspapers within,
and was thinking why my child
wearing his green Peter Pan shirt
is not home yet and what caused the delay.
I was looking through the window,
with my dark brown eyes as I stood there
and watched the glare.
Oneness
I came here to seek you,
To believe that it is true,
That I had never lost you,
To begin with
no matter what
you may say

I do know however,
You had never wanted,
Anything more than a gesture
To show that we respect

How then did this happen
That I am deluding myself
That one more time
I am none other than
Yourself,
And you and me are
Just one?

Love is an Enigma
I am not at all sure
Why I believe you
Or whether you do
Believe or not

Once the days are all gone
And the nights are gloomy
Whatever will
Be left for any one

Who could never
Know what true
Love is
Nor was it ever there
In this world

As I want to see clearly
I can not hold my self
In this spinning wheel
Of passion
And compassion
And sublimation

Spinning into
Colors
Unfolded or unseen
Ever before as if
Never before

A Wish From Heart
Each day ends in
turning into an evening,
Each moment counts and runs
to bring in a new moment
each moment folds itself in
delivering a new ray of hope,
although every day passes
through all these phases
it is never more new
than what it is today,
as I see you and recall
how sensitive to feelings you are.
What is it that makes you
Give attention to what I do, I wonder.
I really am so surprised to
Know someone ever had
Time and interest in
Dwelling into what concerns me
So long my friend,
pleasure knowing you
hope to meet you someday,
before I say Au Dios



Be
Now you are
What you wanted to be

Now I am
Trying to achieve
What I believe
What I long to be

Now it is that

We are ourselves,

Now
We are
Moving on
With our lives



To My Love
I love you so much,
it is hard to hold it,
I love the way you look at us,
You care for us
And you are concerned
about us-
I sometimes did not do
What you thought I should,
I sometimes thought
It is all just some fun
Although I never imagined
Until I realized that
by hurting you this bad
I will be hurt and
feel the pain forever
God, forgive me,
Bless our souls
