Satish Verma Poems

When glacier recedes,
Your eyes start flowing,
and by the swollen river
an island is swallowed up.
...

It was not like life.
I am worried,
they were hitting the womb.
...

He turns, forgets the hollyhocks
tries to become human
accepts the stupidity.
...

A useless space between the sentences,
ghastly story does not end in black and white.
Again the heart cries.
I keep on knocking on the doors
...

Long night will start the pincer movement;
pyrexia is rising.
Something like an extraterrestrial hand
digs deep in the mind to open the tomb
...

Unrepenting you start
from a sore point
to ask an explanation
from an eclipse of the sun.
...

a facsimile of torture
candlelit in moony dark
i want to unread the anointed death
on this tip of an arrow,
...

scape without a name
scepter of a colossus
merge in a yellow boom
between hunch and a knife,
...

for self deception
sulfur fumes incite
mood swings
soaring to clean the malice,
...

Depth of a bruised sea
rising from the surface
overwhelms the dumb shore
...
