Basu Maan Poems

He loves her body
that she does hate,
he owns her flesh
as he’s her mate –
...

A brawny hunk
stands in the house
still, unmoved,
espies all inmates.
...

Silent forest to the left
and deep gorge to the right,
stood as mere witness
when she walked out of sight.
...

White fluffy snow flakes
on the stiffened wiry hair
can smell the beloved ‘her’
in the utterly foreign air…
...

Still, soft rain drizzles
upon this sleeping vale,
untimely shower washes
the pitch and gravel.
...

Surely you hate
can't love
your room,
this suburb,
...

Local men,
their dialects –
talk of the town.
Some residents
...

Feeling sheer pity
for the lonely heart of mine –
that, to throb furthermore,
perhaps has forgotten,
...

There, beyond the woods,
miles over the valley
somewhere far away;
there, where rainbow hangs
...

When he prayed to his God
under the vast overhanging sky
for a reason to be happy,
surely, He listened to his sigh.
...
