Vedanth Bhatnagar Poems

Thy son hast not comforted,
He lived a life alone,
Now, leaves, as his breath,
To none, shalt it be known,
...

Long millenia ago, ere The Universe, to prevail
There wast, The One, Whose Mighty, Infinite Magnificence,
Wouldst pervade, eall Life, eall matter, but once,
There wast infinite emptiness, wouldst everything come thence.
...

Seeking solace in nonexistence,
A body falling asleep,
A freedom without reluctance,
In hollowness I weep;
...

I was born, without speech,
To benevolent Mother Earth,
Feeble, flaccid, ignorant of this cruel world,
That love of my Mother had hid in her kind mirth;
...

I dreamt of a flower,
Yet, to bloom, upon which, lay dews,
And, at morn’s hour,
It swept to none, swept to fews;
...

O'er the fields of paddy and rie,
And as far as could my vision see,
Where blooms not a rose, not a daisy,
A child walks, with a sigh;
...

I sleep, O dearest, I sleep,
Where the dawn has never shone,
I seep, O dearest, I seep,
Where none remain, I remain lone;
...

By torments deep, are left many a scar,
That nor words nor kindness can heal,
And unto our lives are begotten many a mar,
That nor the brightest nor the truest can seal;
...

Choice, as is but ours, is to lose,
They who with burdens are fraught, live free,
For their lives are in ingnorance, with no purpose,
They who in service are selfless, prevail in glee;
...

You have dwelt in darkness,
For there was your tragedy bestow'd,
And in murky realms of thought,
Was thy life out pour'd:
...
