Anuj Tikku Poems

My English maim and her lovely ways
She was one in a million in those days
Especially when she recited plays
She read poetry like a knighting gale
...

The sleepless nights they begin to bite
As I hear voices of my fathers plight
As he shouts and shrieks for his life
The voices in my head as I lie down in bed
...

I am like the highest peek
Alone in what I seek
I want to lead my hearts way
As I drown in my aloness day by day
...

auuchh! the casting couch
on this couch the industry girls will slouch
ahh! to get work no doubt you will have to get on the couch
...

He walks around in his white pajamas
Walking past the asylum gate
Making monkey noises at passers my
His face is ragged
...

Ek marwadi gujju family mein thi wo pali badi
Neeli aankhon wali ek husaan pari
Radhika thaa uska naam
Media marketing tha uska kaam
...

Desire
Burning within me is a fire
Of reaching my goal I desire
I desire to hear the sounds of birds
...

Sweet Lips
Ah! So ripe so fresh sweat lips of your orchard
I wish to find my way thru its maze
Narrowly missing your gaze
...

Oh my dear let me tell you a story about fear
When we stop listening to the voice of our conscious
When we refuse to see the world within
When the noises inside begin to hound us
...

Hope
When all is lost there is still hope
Hope that things lost can be taken
Deeds done can be forsaken
...
