Sanjukta Nag Poems

You inhale the shadow of darkness
From little pores of this whole universe,
And exhale sacred luminosity
On the surfaces of planets and stars.
...

Here sky stoops with treasure of sun
To teach the withered leaves of winter
Green songs of rejuvenation.
...

Love not only resides inside the veins
That send blood in a young heart
Faster than an excited light,
But love also dwells peacefully
...

I’ve never fallen in love,
Only I rise higher and higher
Like a glorious morning sun,
Depending on the soft firmness
...

My snowball-like puppy barks like a bird,
Whenever that sparrow enters my window
Like a sudden sunray of winter.
She perches on a luminous spot
...

Hold me close inside your heaving chest,
And let me listen to the friction of those
Gray pebbles inhabiting your heart.
I'll extract gold from the crown of Apollo
...

You think curves of stones speak truth
Like the newborn poems of hope.
And trees breathe secretly
Like frozen people of Antarctica.
...

The light that burns darkness
Still sleeping above faint sky

World is splinted with woods
...

Let’s hang our endless love
From the stable boughs
Of an evergreen tree called eternity.
...

You said, 'Love seems to be
More lighter than the feather
Of a free winged sparrow,
That swirls across the landscape of sun
...
