Satish Verma Poems

Fear swooped on extended mind,
when brain was never silent.
I was never alone,
voices broke all around.
...

No plaques?
No head stones?
He did not start the inferno.
It was a misspelt agony
...

Does not penetrate,
it brushes superficially.
Repeating me, from dot to dot, it leaps.
The ego performs swift impulses
...

At cultural opening of thin
layers of faith & consciousness,
a new breed of angels was
romping on our souls.
...

Ending of day was beginning,
of a terrible awakening
when you started filling,
in the gap between the lies.
...

The space covers me now.
Words stayed too long
beyond the thoughts of I
and my landscape.
...

We cannot think alike,
and we cannot listen together.
The words change the colours
and the colours let go their charm.
...

It is me, inside & outside,
movement of sensuous self.
Time sails through the mind,
a silken thread unbroken in names.
...

An answer becomes a question
without an effort.
The world hisses
in filaments of joy.
...

Where the laughter ends,
sorrow makes an entry.
The black cloud drifts towards you,
a gift of unknown to nameless.
...
