Ravi Kopra Poems

This spring a starling made a nest
in the bush of yellow berries facing
our bedroom window
...

How pleasant, how beautiful
are her looks
searching brown eyes
dark brown hair, curly and wavy
...

Someone somewhere is falling in love
someone's getting out of love
if your love has left you
what's the big deal? What's fuss?
...

Autumn leaves
orange, red, brown, yellow in hues
float on the still lake
as cool breeze blows
...

Late in the autumn
it's cold on the Lu mountain
down below in the valley
chimney smokes curl up in the air
...

Surrounded by ogresses
Sita is miserable, full of sorrows.
Ravana approaches her, saying:
Your legs are beautiful like
...

Pressing his chest
against her breasts
He showers her with kisses.
Fragrance of musk, cloves
...

Back stage I congratulated
the distinguished speaker
who spoke for an hour on
the virtues of marriage
...

I have been in search of
God, off and on wondering
that the almighty who
created this wonderful
...

A cup of tea with you
Gives me a thousand flavors

Three glasses of wine with you
...
