Pratyush Mishra Poems

(ii)
I believe
I searched too hard for enlightenment
Walking farther from this desolate world
...

Those smells of familiarity so sweet
Flipping through pages of verse by Gevorg Emin
Dog-eared pages; much thumbed pages
All the while, asking and thinking
...

Am I writing life as a poem?
Or is life writing me as a poem?
I don’t know.
...

I was afraid of the Dark
When I was young
As if in its bosom
Waited some Satan from Meung.
...

There are Phantoms in the human mind
Phantoms of lies
Phantoms of truth
Phantoms of Amrita, the girl I loved
...

(v)
Wood water fire sky
From these rises a forest
From the forest- a flock of birds
...

(ix)
On the path of Life
I met a blind man
Tapping his way out
...
