Raghav Bal Mardhekar Poems

IF ONLY….

Lord just take my memories away
...

I keep asking myself-was it real
The Time that you and I were together

Or was it merely a quirky gambit of Fate
...

There was a fragrance in the air.
Always - when you were there.
Now I breathe to seek and find
A whiff recessed deep in my mind.
...

Oh Lord, Your Child needs now an heir,
Just one bright  star to guide us where
Wise men gather, not mere fools
Content just being the Devil's tools.
...

I look at you and I wonder
Do you see what I see?
Do the echoes of my thoughts
Resound in your consciousness?
...

AS 70 NEARS

I think it's time to now sit back
And stop searching for another day
...

ENCOUNTER


Along   rambling   paths
...

A TALE OF SEASONS 
New  Delhi  22/4/99
...

Would I that time and space would cease
And emotions spent from their bond release
This spirit to roam in realms unknown
Light as a star, soft as the breeze
...

As   the   shadows   lengthen   on   the   sleeping   tree
Nor   you   nor   I   know   what   the   morrow'll   be,
Bear   with   me   -   this   verse'll   the   chapter   close
Indulge   one   last   time   a   poet's   fancy.
