Rajesh Kumar Poems

Reaching out and yet remaining,
Just outside where my world begins,
Never stepping in,
Never actually stepping away either.
...

Weaving dreams
out of stuff I could not share,
Aspiring to fly to places of no return.
...

The twinkle of your eyes when you huddle close
Still fighting with yourself
Whether a hug would be too much
A pat too less,
...

If I were to count the hours we spent together
Once sunny silences replaced idle chatter
Time would give way to timelessness
I would have to borrow another lifetime.
...

The smell of parting
Hung heavy all around.
A liner
Portholes full of strange faces.
...

He knows me from my other life
From the days in which I walked back home with him.

Those days were wild
...

I close my eyes,
As this journey ends.
I know this path well
I know where it ends.
...

Three women walked into the night
Steadily towards their hostel-gates.

Five wait with me at the crossroads
...

Have you heard the incessant clatter
Of steel wheels on steel tracks?

I wish my life too
...
