Satish Verma Poems

Listen Hamlet, there was
the age gap. I am learning to die
and you will defeat yourself.
...

A candid confession from you,
when your identity started protruding
from innocent rage.
...

I will ask you no more.
An answer settles the question.
Let myriad questions remain in air.
Thirst is larger than the river.
...

The truth of my blood
at the mensal
without prayer and anguish.
...

Coming of age. Sometimes
it disturbs. I will play with fire, in separating
flames. Sun was not cooling.
...

Segment by segment
the secret breaks. There was
no song afterwards.
...

A butterfly
in a bell jar.
All I know, we understand
each other.
...

Hard and brittle,
the cost of sealing the lips
was increasing overnight.
...

The lesion was
spreading. From
inside, I hear the wails.
...

How age slips away
from your hands?
How deep you will
go in the cavernous
...
