Sathya Narayana Poems

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
...

STREET CHILDREN

Who are those kids half nude and unclean!
To whom were they born? How and when?
