Bharati Nayak Poems

The tree stands green
Under the scorching sun
Branches spread wide
Roots going deep
...

Many friends do I have
How do I describe them
As I am what I am
Because of them
...

Petals from the flower
Falling and withering away,
Sweet scents have mingled in the air,
Colors lost, the branches look bare.
...

Who discovered number ?
One, two, three or four?
What does a number stand for?
Number is all that has played
...

Traffic of thoughts
Line up
Jam around
Blocked at the crossings
...

Take heart
Forget past
See, how days are flowering poetry
Dreams fruitioning reality
...

I envy the newspaper
You hold in your hand
For how eagerly
Your eyes move from
...

I felt you coming
In the hissing of mango leaves
In the enchanting fragrances of spring breeze
In the melancholy cuckoo's song and
...

This is the night
When I left you hurried
The door slammed
Leaving you puzzled
...

Some words ring
Make room for themselves
In you heart
Why?
...
