Sathya Narayana Poems

RENDEZVOUS
Nearing his home town
the war-worn soldier
felt like he's reborn!
...

I spread my heart before you
As serenades at your threshold
Straining every vein of mine
Into a tune of melodious love
...

SMILE EFFECT
Sitting in my opposite seat
He is short and stout
Dark and pock-marked
...

New clearance sale! ! !
Satan brokered the deal
A salvo from nuclear arsenal
Knocked down bid final
...

OUR HOUSE MAID'S DAUGHTER
I looked one more time at the scar
on her pretty forehead.
Our house-maid's sweet little daughter.
...

Countless are beauties
to suit every taste:
one Venus, one goddess
and many an angel;
...

At eighty he is still a coolie
Toiling in paddy lea
Reaping pods and
Heaping the seeds
...

I am just a man in the street
Who knows my stock, my stint,
My wait and my thoughts?
I see the world as world naked
...

Poetry? ! What do I know? ?
Someone unknown stirs the mind
Kneads the thoughts; knits fine rows
Of words and runs my numb hand
...

I have a dream
that a mermaid realm
from deep in ocean main
is wooing me to swim
...
