Rohan Nath Poems

Captain! Our soldiers have deceased on the battleground.
Young youths! Yes, they were young boys!
Their motionless figure lies on the ground.
Crimson immortal stream shall never end flowing.
...

Distressed and damaged, I laid in the abyss.
I prayed to Almighty and wept frequently.
Loss was common and so I lost my hope.
What do I perceive?
...

The stars twinkles bright tonight,
While I lie awake and miss you.
Among the star you reside;
I can feel you reaching down to kiss me.
...

Do not love me, if appearance entertains thee;
For they are deceptive like an illusion,
Hoodwinking the multitude with splendor,
But inside the core may lie darkness.
...

On that day you were looking no less than a white swan.
Your blond tresses intertwined like golden chains.
My eyes fixed upon your loveliness couldn't be withdrawn.
It appears that you have illuminated the entire domain.
...

I made vows to never depart away from her
But alas! Yesterday was her last day with me
Oh! How I wish fate would travel as I prefer
Constantly listening to me and voluntarily agree
...

There a soldier lied on the exhausted sanatorium bed.
Stayed unvoiced and numb as he bled.
Faintly opened his eyes to observe the mayhem,
While a red uniformed nurse was announcing several names.
...

I arrange myself on a chair and hold a pen flanked by my fingers,
And gaze inquisitively in all directions and think what shall I write about?
The vacant pages facing me look at me with a hopeful expression for hours.
For these flat colorless sheets want my fountain pen to spout,
...

Birth is just the start of an epic voyage.
The smile of a mother's face is radiant.
The first cry of happiness is joyous.
The effort for a fresh life is brilliant.
...

I daily wake up early in the glacial morning.
The birds greet me with their blissful singing.
The cold air penetrates through the window,
To savage all the heat grouped under my blanket below.
...
