Ravi Kopra Poems

Barbara ki aankhain aasmani neeli hain
Freddy se pyaar karti hai

Karen ek meethi meethi laDki hai
...

Today I woke up
and did not want to get out of my bed.
I wished he were with me giving me
morning kisses and asking me what were my dreams.
...

I did not believe in love
I used to laugh when people talked of love
I used to tell them we make our own desitny.
...

Good morning chickens
Good morning roosters
I feel so happy with my life.
In the morning when I get up
...

Countless are my desires still
However I keep them still

Like lightening has no patience
...

You cannot find duality in God, I am afraid
I know I can do it, still I would hesitate, I am afraid

I have lost my desires, I will not go away
...

Life is not a joke. Take it seriously
Whatever you do, do it diligently

If you are a shoe shine
...

Achanak-hi

jaise hi tum mere samnay aae
aisa laga k do lo-chumbak k beech
...

Oh! it's so cold and icy today.
My boat sails for home tonight.
I bought some bottles of wine
to warm myself before I leave tonight.
...

You bitch
You witch

You shriek
...
