Reshma Ramesh Poems

I was running across the fields with the wind in my hair,
Lying on the grass and counting the stars,
I was picking the shells digging my toes in the sand,
Picking up the bits and pieces of my life, looking at myself
...

When the answers that hooked the questions
All aligned in a strange way
With the numbers, even and odd and in between
Somehow then arises doubtful and firm thoughts
...

Sounds of love
have you heard
in silence, so profound?
Astound, Astound!
...

Like into a kaleidoscope I peeped,
One eye squeezed shut
And the other one open wide,
Mouth open agape
...

I arrive for your last will,
Rushing the wind along,
My white veil brown with mud,
As it drags along the ground,
...

The Indian princess that I am
The stars for my earrings
My warm gaze melts the snow
on the Himalayas,
...

I tuck my toes
Into the sheets
Lay my cheek
On my pillow
...

What makes you always think
that God is a He?
For all that matter
He could be a child with a glee
...
