Raja Bhandari Poems

Let's fall in love with a poet, for he will know how to pacify an unquiet soul,
Your sorrows might be as vast as a forest, but he would be always ready to burn them, with his words acting as petrol!

Somedays, when you will return home after a heartbreak, he will be standing at the threshold with a glue,
...

But I wonder, how gracefully you spun the cob-web of lies,
You wrapped the most severe heartbreaks inside all the ' hi 's!

Such as a baby kicks inside the mother's womb, you always kicked from inside on my heart's wall,
...

One day, while having bath, I witnessed a strange love story!
After having filled the whole bucket, when I turned the tap off, I noticed a little water droplet at the mouth of the tap, swinging downward.
Perhaps, it seemed that the droplet and the tap mouth, both were meeting after a long span of time, and now they were in each other's arms, enjoying their auspicious time, kissing each other.
But suddenly, with the increase in the size of the droplet, the gravity interfered and that droplet started to edge more downwards. Strange! I could see the struggle of the droplet to keep a hold of the hand of the tap mouth. But a time came, when it couldn't hold hands anymore and it fell eventually, saying its last ' GoodBye ', and it fell on the water-filled bucket, hence getting perished amongst the other droplets.
...

Dear love,
Hope you are doing great.My words longed for you, so is this letter with bright memories, but with reality's dull hue.

Oh you know, my shoulder must have been your fan, he says it misses your head,
...

You did touch me, held my hand,
We went too deep,
Touches, felt till the bones,
Yet we didn't enough seep,
...

I don't have Superman's S on my chest,
As my chest is not that wide,
I don't have a cape to wear on and test,
In air, I can't smoothly glide.
...
