Valsa George Poems

Night stirred memories, once forgotten
Of the days I burnt with love
When you consumed my days
And I carried you like a queen
...

Life has become an amorphous mass
Sans shape, sans structure
Memories too have begun to rot
And mind has turned into a scrap yard
...

I have toiled all day long
Now I want to lay my head
Rest my body in serene peace
As to the world I am dead
...

'Accept that to suffer is life
Tolerate your opponent without strife'
To this he did abide
But silently sighed
...

The banshee shriek
of arriving trains,
The chug- chug sound
of departing ones,
...

Said, Never Lived!


'I LOVE YOU'
...

My son, to us, you’re so very special
For reasons not just one or two!
But when you announced your arrival first
At an unexpected time and age-
...

Life, like a practiced comedian on the stage
Keeps smiling and frowning in turn
Under the embers of joy that spark from our hearts
There lies the pulverized heap of shattered dreams
...

In the stillness of the night when it rains
Haven't you listened to a funny chorus?
Cra…. Cra… Cra…. it goes on rough n' raucous
A ‘music' coming down to us through the air porous
...

After an hour’s incessant rain
On this cloudless evening
With the face of the sky
Washed clean
...
