HARVENDRA SINGH Poems

A Prayer in Darkness

In this world of uncertainty,
In this darkness, stark and impenetrable,
...

Like the focus of an electronic torch,
Your rays bathe me in a steady glow,
Bringing globules of health, happiness, prosperity—
Love, success, and power flow.
...

Go on—
taste it.
Sure, it will prick;
you'll bleed.
...

A whirlpool
And the spinning of the dead leaf,

For a moment, ecstasy, warmth;
...

She is the shade of a tree cold and profound,
She is every herb to my aching wound.
She dabs my forehead, putting in her lap
And her lap's warmth gives me a cozy nap.
...

In gardens of innocence, she blooms
A delicate flower, with a tender perfume
Her laughter echoes, like a gentle stream
But shadows creep, with a sinister scheme
...

Run along the highway—
Sanatan is the mother of many paths.
Narrow lanes and by-streets
may lead you deep into the jungles.
...

With full fathomless faith,
Let's move two more steps ahead—
One for your adoration,
The other for dreams we've bred.
...

Had Brahma, the father, anything worthy
to repay her—
the unconditional attachment,
the unquestionable love,
...

The soul, the vibration of the source energy
Of this infinite universe,
Came across this beautiful earth stage
And was drawn to play its role
...
