Ravi Kopra Poems

"Tender is the Night"
Tender is she
in a see through
red gown
...

Muslas hide their women under burqas
No matter how ugly or pretty they are

What would happen, they reason, if
...

"Poetry is not today every man's cup of tea,
many love coffee"

-me poet yeps poet
...

A man of Allah
hallucinates near death: I
Want, want virgins now!
...

Shing Wing Wai breathes fresh air
in the autumn night and gets drunk
and thinks how would a woman feel
like in the night like this
...

Lonely in the lotus garden
Lung Shuo drank a pot of wine

The moon was full and low, the breeze cool
...

Lonely Lee leaned against the railings
The green mountains were in the distance
King butterflies flitted together in the air
The fragrant grass was so very luxuriant
...

For thirty odd pigs, a Huli man gets
A new wife tending his goats, land, kids, pigs

She ties a rope's end to the pigs front legs
...

This used to be me abode in the past
Here you used to be kind to Akhtar in the past

Come here, try to peer into my heart
...

The lamp says, keep me on
The fire says, I want to go off

The river wants to keep on running
