Satish Verma Poems

Falling in tender
pain of line drawn between
us. Talking in air.
...

It was self-inflicted
wound. You live outside yourself.
Go inside to find the depth.
...

I am not your
truth. Time filters.
Wait until I change.
...

I would not make
excuses. My nothingness let
me go beyond myself.
...

A thought pricks again
and again. I cannot hear your
footfalls. In twilight, moon―
...

You could not keep pace
with me. I wanted to give you what
I didn't have. I don't like tears.
...

You know what I mean.

You replicate the moon,
when someone dies for a cause
...

A deep question
haunts me. Who will take
the responsibility to watch the earth.
...

Sometimes I do not
know what is happening.
I cannot say goodbye.
...

Every kiss has a
price. I love you green.
O magnolia I have nine lives.
...
