Ram Krishna Singh Poems

midnight darkness
wrapped in loneliness
dreamy escape
...

I don't long for the past that swings and rings
I don't care for the future I color
with empty wishes prayers and meditation
...

Dreams puzzling
smallness of waking
I can't live
the child's circumcision
...

No one around,
before the paper deity
dead flowers
giving me the push
...

Dancing shades devour
waking tensions for a moment
closed eyes dissolve
years of clog
...

To create is to die:
die to love, to time
to memory, to god
to everything we know
...

Rising on her toes
to reach the half-eaten
guava on the tree
...

Unclothing
...

They take off again
their unthrown nets frighten fish
water turns whiter
...

I want the best of life for you
but you too must understand
...
