Ravi Kopra Poems

I love you because
You are cool, you are beautiful
Everytime I look at you
Doves coo-coo in my heart
...

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

On the cremation grounds
The body of a dead man was turned into ashes
Except his skull, his hips and knee joints.
...

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.
...

Many complaints
Many dissents
But I never reproached you
...
