Satish Verma Poems

I cannot pretend
you are far away like stars
when your songs hug me.
...

Stay with me to
see the blitzkrieg of comets
with long tails to shame moon.
...

Holed up
in my book
I find peace.
...

Again my heart
breaks. The light has dimmed
in moon. There was no mandate.
...

Your trajectory was
rising. People ride the stars
to reach moon at night.
...

I suffered like
you. Tell me why you were
destroying yourself?
...

Writing of words names
on paper gown, you catch the fire like
Casabianca on burning deck.
...

Put on hold your pain,
outside our love. Your tears falling.
My hands to become flowers.
...

My goodness, you too
hit the road, to be without desire.
Resolute black birds follow you.
...

Let my pain go, then
I will think of you during break.
I was teaching pure truths.
...
