Ravinder Kumar Soni Poems

It was me who cried during the night
Restless, alone in bed, pining for you,
Promises you make you do not keep,
The words you coin they do not weigh,
...

Complainingly she said,
Why is this silence that never was,
The hills, the dales, the trees and birds,
Why don't they speak as they did before
...

Here and there,
Strewn are found
Many a dead soldier,
Remains of a battle
...

An ardent reader I am.
I wander from word to word,
Para to para and page to page,
Like a bee that extracts the essence
...

I said I need you and
You responded likewise,
Eagerly and lovingly,
We know each other,
...

The pain, O mother the pain I suffer
What have I to do with it?
Except to tell you, it is unbearable,
I cannot get rid of it!
...

Water that makes us
I see it fall from great heights,
From the clouds or off the edge of cliffs
To roll under our feet,
...

‘Go to sleep my son let your dreams roll, '
I heard my mother say while she ran her fingers,
Through my hair;
‘Do not stop those dreams, they will tell you about your tomorrows' that would be as pleasant as today, '
...

The Watch

I am old and tired,
...

What wrong have I done?
I only picked up the plate
To wipe it clean.
It is still there lying on the table,
...
