Dr. Bishnupada Sethi Poems

I was feeling hurt
Bullied, desolate and bereft-
Sobbingly, I looked out
For those firm hands,
...

There is more chill
In the air than usual.
The night appeared heavier.
Though thenearby landmass was duty bound
...

Of imperfections
Of unsatisfying deeds
Of short lasting glories
Of feeble desires
...

You sat across
And talked mundane matters
While not noticing-
I was becoming restless.
...

I can hear the soft voice -
‘Hey Ram! '
It was just like Jesus uttering-
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"
...

When I look around I notice
Few decades have simply rolled by-
As if it was only yesterday
Everything happened in my life
...

How do you feel
When almost everyday
You hear someone you knew,
Lived together at some time
...

Eyes closed,
I extend my arms.
Unknowingly, I go back
in time and space.
...

I love you;
She loves him;
Everyone is in love
with some one or other.
...

An intense and fiery relationship
Once anchored on firm grounds
Of mutual love and respect
Looked for a shared future
...
