Anshuttam Mishra Poems

I want to live, live with you, live the life of love,
I want to give, give to you, everything I think of,
I want to feel, feel your fragrant breath, feel it rise,
I want to see, see my world, see it through your eyes.
...

The fetters of failure eternally trussed
I promenade, the lachrymose pedantic mask
Of desolation, an escutcheon;
The crumbling sepulchres devoured
...

Around, all around, the storm clouds gather.
My dread grows as doom's scythe falls against my naked soul.
It smites me, and darkly my
vitae drips
...
