PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Who can put a mountain on fire?
Who can take the heaven on hire?
Who can build firm castles on mire?
Who can besiege the Sun and acquire?
...

As life runs on rails of time,
I see the world receding back,
Its distance from me increasing fast;
Frames of scenes I lived then
...

(This poem considers movements like AAP and Arab Spring as rebellion against general political trends rather than as part of that activity)

Elections, celebrations
To political professionals
...

I may be single man
With thoughts in single train,
But never do I remain
Sticking to one decision;
...

From trough I look to the cusp:
Series of memories yet sharp
Pass through mind in vivid colours
Of hopes, fears, grief and pleasures,
...

In thousand petals she blossomed that day
In colours, fragrance, divine all the way,
Like cool breeze her smile spelled my soul,
Like moonlight I found soft touch in all;
...

He requested her presence,
And she invited him there;
He with all his jubilations
Carried presents to her presence.
...

She's his essence; he's hers,
They complement each other
Like light and warmth of sacred lamp;
She's his fulfillment; he, hers,
...

This world is fair and simple,
Everything is here truly ample;
Greed renders life a bad gamble
To reduce world to sad shamble.
...

Long since we both met and talked,
Five years since we heard each other -
I forgot since then how she looked,
Nor could I recall her gentle voice,
...
