Ravi Kopra Poems

A bumblebee high
on blooms' scents, stings a woman's
blooming breasts in spring.
...

No body can be more handsome than you
You stand for hours before mirrors to admire your beauty

No body can be wiser than you
...

I fear I will fall sick
Bedridden, will lose my work
Who'll feed me, my family, my children
...

In your ignorant early years
you begin to think that
all poetry written in English is great
and poetry in your own language is third rate.
...

jab main kehti hoon
main tum se pyaar karti hoon
lafz mere dil se aate hain
...

meri jaan
tum mere pass nahin ho
mera dil dukhi hai
mere hont akele hain
...

Flowers are blown in winds
Duckweed without roots
Floats in water.
A girls leans against the window
...

I love you
because you're beautiful
graceful, thoughtful
your brown big eyes
...

tum mujhe apne khoon main zinda rehne do

tum mujhe apni ankhoN main nachne aur ganay ki ijazat do
...

A couple at breakfast - no eye to eye contact, full silence.

The teacher enters the classroom. Shouts: silence, silence. No more talking.
