Satish Verma Poems

like walking in a tulip garden
i undo the aquablue,
how many steps you were away,
...

unhinged i wake
tying ribbon around the tree
of amnesia, the butterfly startles,
despairs the blue of humility,
...

today i am not one whole, placid;
blood streaked globe of full moon
was hovering over me all night
to freeze a ruined landscape, i was
...

Sometimes it pours like hot
drips of melted wax from a candlestick;
your migraine.
...

Deep down thighs, unhoisted,
what was there, harvesting the sperms? At dusk
an inflorescence breaks into myriads
of fireworks, wrecked apologia,
...

untouchable that bleeds, lonely
in black sky, that haunting moon
walks gingerly on quivering sea:
lovers killed in shame in broad daylight
...

Stealing stones from skinny faces
snipers scratch the colors
of a withered moon at night.
...

Tryst with enemy
bakes the earth.
I am standing firm on dust of times
with rising threat. In vloaks, under the fading
...

Take it to the doors of heart:
features are same,
of whores and nuns.
...

The spectre of falling towers in night
unfolds in awe.
A reclusive star rises in east at dawn.
...
