Chandra Shekhar Dubey Poems

When I sit behind closed doors and windows in chilly bin
listening to faint anthem of birds
fluttering to welcome apricitic sun
I see memories hanging against the walls
...

Rain, rain bring
coolness of your showers
to scorched plants
silent and sultry.
...

You left us so suddenly saddened and broken
You left all speechless and eyes brimming with tumultuous tears
betraying all hopes and happenings.
You silently passed into eternal silence left behind an aggrieved world, to weep and wail on irreparable loss.
...

Sitting in old cane chair
In my garden I dream of
Some distant land painted in green.
Thick groves, hive rows
...

Drooping by the knee,
frail in frame, stick in her hand
She walks uphill grain by grain.
Wrinkles deep on her face
...

The day I was born terror had struck
the city covered with charred smoke
foul smell of roasted flesh and forms.
Newly wedded couples shrunk in arms
...

No war has been fought for peace
but every war ends on a note of peace
Tanks howling fire balls, missiles rocking the sky, soldiers marching with bayonets
and flames soaked into clouds of smoke,
...

Leaden dreams prick
eyes perplexing mind
in the oblivion of a sunken heart
As a dull day opiates
...

Freedom


To me freedom means
...

albatross gliding
across a turbulent sea
cursed old mariner
...
