Bindu Borle Poems

Quiet, near the sea
But miles away from the crowd
Stands the solitary figure
Whose gaze pierces the depth
...

I have seen it all from the close quarters,
Seen the glimpses of love touching life.
Love defining relationships, stringing hearts.
How unlikely it seems at times, so unconvincing.
...

Gray, white, gray white
Cabins and rooms and a division within
Unfamiliar faces, chaos everywhere
Languid souls striving for survival
...

Once I lost all hopes
Then someone came along
Put his arms around me, gave me faith
Told me to trust him in bad times, good times.
...

With the pen in my hand
And the thinking cap on my head
I wonder, what is reality?
The light kept flickering
...

Conversation began.
Soigné of thoughts, attentive.
Prepared for any question, ready with every answer.
The grilling session between the two.
...

Sitting on an uncomfortable chair,
I just look around,
My things still remain untouched and uncared for.
There is pain in the heart.
...

8.

Expected yet unexpected feelings
Cruising through
Mind in dilemma
Trying to synchronize each movement
...

Morbid atmosphere hangs around.
Silence. Deep silence.
A colorless vision.
No more blinding lights.
...

The chariots of golden sun are on the way home,
The horses of black night speeding fast,
Black night- deeper than any sea
Seems to be getting her hold over this world
...

Myriad thoughts engulfing my mind
Each trying to register itself
There is nothing but chaos.
A clarity is seen among this din
...

Sand of time slipping fast
So fast I can hold it in my hands any more
It has once again succeeded
This glittering, shining sand
...

I lie among the sheets of paper
White and black, strewn all over like thousand stars
On the veil of black night
I uncap the pen, but there is no ink
...

Nothing
I hear except
Silence
A love note
...

Looking at the ceiling
Limpid thoughts line up
My heart aches
Flashing incidents
...

Tired dreamy eyes
Yet thinking
Knitting stories of past and present
Painting the future
...

Expected yet unexpected feelings
Cruising through
Mind in dilemma
Trying to synchronize each movement
...

18.

I wait
In a blue hour
(and faraway I can hear some unknown voices)
and on a page a poem begins
...

In the total darkness
There came a ray of hope
And I thought it was real and true
But that was in vain
...

Stranded among unusual thoughts
I wonder about the definition of trust
From the cluster of ideas
I try to choose one
...

The Best Poem Of Bindu Borle

The Sea And The Solitary Soul

Quiet, near the sea
But miles away from the crowd
Stands the solitary figure
Whose gaze pierces the depth
The dark sea and the dark night
Appears mysterious and too frightening
But she stands unbaffled and remote

The dark sea echoes within her
Remote and alluring…
Both are calm
But with a tumult inside
She is now closer to the sea
Herself the solitary figure
To be one with the sea
To share the isolation
And the alluring mystery

Bindu, I've just read the first four poems on this list and let me make the following points: 1. the poet Archibald MacLeish says that a poem is an impulse, a glimpse, a cloudy glimpse and the labour of the poet is to create the form which will contain the relationship that turns the glimpse into image. You do that well. 2.If poetry teaches us how to talk to ourselves, you do that well. 3.what I try to do and I don't do it well-nor do you-is to change the way people experience their lives. You are good at description, but I'd like to see more beneath the surfact in your poetry-and mine.-Ron
