Satish Verma Poems

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
...

I begin unlearning
the script, in irreality,
find myself
...

unrearthing the fallen saint
you wash your feet
and enter the temple of forgotten god:
...

profiling the divine phallus
on terraced shrouds of fault the dilemma
of arcane notation starts for that
succultent rumours, emotively torn asunder,
...

Cambium will cheat one day
the pace of climb,
snakes will dance
peeling off the skin –
...
