Ravi Kopra Poems

When I saw her for the first time
I got mesmerized
dreaming blue eyes
so beautiful
...

I'm getting ready
For the garage sale tomorrow
My grandma passed away
A few weeks ago
...

That scented oil perfume
rubbed on me when I held you close to me
this morning in the garden and gave you
three long kisses of love.
...

Joyous, blissful moment, sitting on the porch, you and I
two forms, two faces, yet one soul together, you and I

The groves' gift, the birds' songs give us the water of ever
...

So strange are
Your thoughts

You are my destiny
...

Spring breeze is light
Several peaches are red
Swallows whisper
One willow green
...

Why do you promise every night
not to write
even if it be all worthless
(as mostly it is)
...

O Captain, mere Captain!
hamara khofnaak safar ab poora ho chuka hai
jahaz har mausum main sahi salaamat raha hai
anaam jo hum chahtay thay hum ne jeet liya hai
...

If you had to go far off why did you come to be close to me
Ah! that was the moment when you were an enchantress to me

The clouds don't go away nor do they make rains
...

A laborer works
Hard for a loaf of bread
He is sad.
He sheds tears of poverty
...
