Ravi Kopra Poems

The road to the
destination is long,
is hard to travel on.
At each step you find
...

नैना अंतर आव तू, ज्यूं हौं नैन झंपेउ।
ना हौं देखूं और को न तुझ देखन देऊँ॥
-Kabir
...

The sounds of slow steps
tup tup, tup tup
scared me to death in the darkness.
I turned around. No one.
...

asiiN face book te milay

tu mainu chungi lagi
main tenu chunga lagiya
...

Travelling by train I saw
the city at a distance -
skyscrapers, bending blacktop roads
a sea of humanity -
...

Moorakh bharti manushya jati, teri bhasha bharti hoye
tu bharti khana khaye, bharti kapDe pehne, bharti jooti pehne

bharti beewee se shaadi kare
...

Tuesday morning in Tampa
in the gardens of SFU,
I will give you my first caress,
my first kiss
...

I love you
I give you my heart, my life
I expect nothing in return
No diamonds, no pears, no riches.
...

darling, when you send me
a bouquet of flowers,
I think of you
and play with them for hours.
...
