Debasish Mishra Poems

Clear like sunshine,
Sweet like nectar;
One who gets the mother's love
Is, in fact, a true victor.
...

They say I am a poet
Endowed with the wealth of words.
I smile gently
Hiding those things that are inherent in me....
...

I never knew the reason -
The actual reason -
For the sudden twist of things...
My love was true, my heart was pure,
...

So pleasant these are...............
Like dew drops,
Beautiful like the rainbow,
Or a rapturous rose playing with the breeze
...

Don't allow that precious dropp to cling in your cheeks,
It lessens your beauty, I swear,
You look so beautiful
With that inexpensive ornament of a smile...
...

I have built a Taj Mahal
In my heart
Simply for her
And another one
...

In the midnight
An irate dog barks fervently
At the innocuous watchman
Weakened by the growth of age.
...

In a corner of the shining city......
Sleeps the slums like ultimate curses...
Fragile bodies- bare and black
Distorted by the doctrines of Fate,
...

It absorbs everything...
In its limitless bosom.
Temples and tombs,
Man-made barriers...
...

The brevity of happiness,
The short span of smiles...
All good things in the world are transitory
Like Life itself! ! !
