PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Glorified addiction,
Temporal benediction,
Irrational fixation
As a divine notion,
...

Love is like a lovely flower,
Dazzles at times
In bright sunshine
And flares like fire
...

Am I coming to senses?
Do things fall to places?
Curtains do slide to sides,
Pellicles move from eyes
...

You pulled right, I pulled left,
Both fell in the middle;
I walked here, you walked there,
Both met with gaping hole.
...

You were caught in two,
Uncertain what to do,
You blindly ran amok;
Worlds at left and right,
...

A cloudburst,
A relief from oppressive heat,
A rise up in the sky
Like a hot balloon
...

When I heard how her world, shattered,
When I learnt how her life, wrecked,
A promising future, sheared to shreds,
So shocked was I, I began to sink,
...

Her exquisite warm twin towers,
Delicious, shapely and tasteful,
Like hungry eyes stare stealthily me,
Invite to field its explosive charm;
...

Keep me still
And graciously full
In gentle ways,
And never waver
...

The Moon I adored is receding far,
And night sky goes darker by hour;
Stars do twinkle and dance in sky,
But touch not the heart, shut to joy;
...
