Reshma Ramesh Poems

Grains of sand
In the hour glass
Drop one by one,
Time sifts in the sand
...

The eagle flies
high, looking down
wondering
two legged man
...

Time and time again
we rise and fall
like the tides
beyond our all
...

The children look at the fire works in the sky casually
big hungry tummies playing with blood stained mud
half widows pull them beyond crumbling walls
where bread and water is traded for weapons
...

I see u walking in the clouds watching the children play,
You cry for the their sorrows, sorrows on their way,
Your thoughts so beautiful, wanting to protect them all,
But that is not how it is going to be resolved.
...

The morning sun rays in my kitchen
Bring news about you my dear
From the other part of the world
Where you read my lines with affection
...

In the temple of love,
she hovered around impatient,
frowned brows and pouted lips,
white veil floating behind
...

The forbidden path I walk
The rain heaves and the sun leaves
Gloom, looming beyond my back,
In the twilight of life,
...

When you held me,
To your chest,
Arms around
In embrace
...
