Sathya Narayana Poems

When she swayed in sashay
Swans shied in dismay
At a beam of her splendid smile
The full moon waned in shame
...

Blinking at the bright light, I thought
“I’m all set for a long trip! I must!
Through many unfamiliar routs”
...

(This was rather my first poem)


You kept a long silence
...

Layer me on your lips oh dear! I vow
I will be the tang of your daily prayers
Wear me in your blue eyes, oh my love!
I will bear your tears and fears for ever
...

You left!
I wept!
I love you!
...

Boss asks euphemistically
“You’re not the same force you were once”
Friends demand anxiously
“Hey! What happened to your antics and puns? ”
...

AS Moon I enjoyed my moments
in spite of my waning fortnights.

When Romeo blamed my light
...

(This is a very famous story I heard a long time ago. Many pontiffs used to often quote this.)


Two saints on a long journey
...

Whenever some friend praised
That my poetry is good
Fuddled; I raise my hand
To check for horns on head
...
