Uma Pochampalli Goparaju Poems

ఎ౦డి మోడైన చెక్కల్లో౦చి
వికసిస్తు౦దొక ఆర్క్డిడ్
బ౦డరాతిలా౦టి బ్రతుకులో
చిగురిస్తు౦దొక చిన్నిఆశ
...

Love thy nation
Develop some goodness
Wind up thy empty banter
Start some concrete help
...

I know the wetness of your kiss that I tasted,
I could never forget it, still I recall three people
In white robes and eye glasses
Waiting when I arrived on that fateful day
...

I remember you,
Going deeper horizons with me,
Farther than the oceans and stars
Reaching everything I have
...

It does not bother me
When the eagles are hovering
With your kind protection,
I know it's so foolish to fear shadows
...

When the winds are harsh and cold
with thunder and gusting storms
surrounding you from everywhere,
I know you are there helping and caring,
...

Ten times ten feet tall
in the front yard around the hall
was the huge live oak tree that I used to go under
every morning and evening as I went to school or took my kids for walk
...

My Heart Seeks You Tonight

Tonight my heart
Seeks you
...

Looking at the beauty of the heights of Himalayas
The enchanting splendor and the beauty of ranges
Does it ever occur to you it may be hiding unseen lava?
Can the heart wrenching cries of the people be heard?
