Anupam Srivastava Poems

1.

The sea whispers to me in my sleep
Calls me son
Wants me home
...

You and I at the day's end
We do not now pretend
That nights last forever
And 'my arms around you will loosen? Never! '
...

Once again we take a dip
Into this awfully filled up night
Where thoughts don’t colour the darkness,
Each night can’t paint the moon.
...

Trees stand. The path goes down
And disappears. It cannot be
That I stand here yet watch it wind
I must go down and walk behind.
...

I do a thousand miles and come back
To the one I love but she
Does not hold me in her arms
Nor tells me not to go away.

The Best Poem Of Anupam Srivastava

Home

The sea whispers to me in my sleep
Calls me son
Wants me home

Says I’ve been out too long
Like a migrant
Selling his blood for the smell of money
Spending a life in the hope of another

Calls me half-alive, half-dead,
Like the half-sunk sun in its calm – all red
Says I only know how to drown

Says that he runs in my blood
And day and night I hear his calls,
But I twist and turn and burn, but stay
While restlessly he rises and falls.

He calls me home, lets out a sigh
And I, like game,
Caught between the jaws of my trap
Can only writhe in pain and cry
With a throat that’s gone
Oh, so dry!

So tell my father
One day I will tear away
And home I will come back to die.
