Rajesh Kumar Poems

The script that carried the play
And the actors that played the roles
The prompter behind the wings
And the lightsman right up there
...

Sometimes you ask me
Why I fall so silent on your calls,

And I tell you,
...

Incessant chatter amidst eerie silences
Self doubts, confusions, misgivings, anger,
Anguish angst pain.
...

Dear Sir,
I have drafted my report
For the last seven days.
It’s on your table, right
...

Of all the colors of the sun
The one I love is a fiery red
The color of the sun on a tranquil evening,
Bracing for another day.
...

When my life hits the rapids

And the currents lead me astray,
I fight for control
...

Some love have sad beginnings
Desolate that life is, it hangs on to mirages.

You know how these stories go,
...

When your face glows
Bright red like Pune figs,
It reminds of the Simla season of my life,
In that one terrible winter
...

Lines from the poem
You read to me last
Thoughts of music that played
When you danced last
...

Every time I scribble a note,
Intending to start something new,

The words that hurry forth script
...
