Arvind Srivastava Poems

What happened to me was not justified
People associated with management are generally not kind
They are busy saving their fake dignity
They shuffle words like cards
...

That curtain was very beautiful
Behind which the conspiracy of murder was going on
Here companions were killed one by one
Some were chewing turtle meat
...

The world is scared

With a hope
That as soon as the soldiers return
...

I keep my memories
on my shoulder
A slight scratch on it
I do not accept
...

There is a knock on the door
Someone wants to come in

There may be someone asking about well-being
...

Woman moves along
Shadow moves along
One shadow
Two shadows
...

Now what should I do with those memories
of a few meetings
which the spring has left in my care,
...

This time is filled with sadness
Silence is spread all around

My thirst has been rejected by some ocean
...

I don't want to fill the void
that you have left

All the rivers are drying up
...

The skilled artisans of the chair
Using the excuse of being busy
Slipped away
The news of violence and murder
...
