jyoti saxena Poems

They landed with a soft thud
They scratched
They pinched
They bit
...

Why does a shadow always eclipse
The brightest and the sunniest of days
Just when everything seems right
Another shadow appears in sight
...

Your shadow walks beside me at the horizon
it merges with me somewhere
outlines and silhouttes are substantialized
ready to be hugged
...

Ride royally the waters
Oh! boat of my soul.
Let there be gentle wind with me
a star or two for company.
...

People take marijuana
and sugars hard
I realize it is high time
I too played my part.

She is a mother of two
She irrigated their life
With her blood, it is true.
...

Dusty deserted sidewalks
Barred doors with locks
Dustbins bursting with dirt
Greet the lonesome child
...

The rose
had a tiff with the thorn
relationship wormed
it filed for divorce.
...

Of course, you can hate
It is allowed at every age
For it is the strongest emotion
That keeps the earth in motion!
...

The earth rotates on its axis-
They say.
What if the axis topples one day?
How much longer can it hold
...
