Ranita Badudu Poems

She dances in the sunlight
She dances in the rain
She dances in delight
She dances through her pain
...

Dance like no one is watching
Who cares what they're thinking?
Bare your soul, young girl-woman
No one sees your moment
...

i used to dream of broken butterfly wings and
slivered spider silk

now i dream of the damned's tears
...

When I see a thing of beauty -
artistic, manmade, natural, does it matter?
- whole symphonies burst to life in colors
In my mind; but only I can hear it
...

There are delicate paper boats,
Set afloat on the tops of dusty books,
Sailing the topography of the crinkled, curled pages
Of softcovers, vellum, and hardcovers
...

She wanders the night sky,
Silver-haired and silver-eyed,
Clad in a gown of airy clouds.
...

Too long, too long did thee linger
Eva, thou didst break thy promise
Back at home thy dear ones worry
Turn thy step back; Eva, hurry
...
