Ravinder Kumar Soni Poems

Beautiful are your eyes lined with kohl,
These precious jewels hide in them
The long and short shadows of many dreams.
You have not forgotten them, I suppose,
...

O Mother, where have you gone
Leaving me alone in the wilderness,
In this world
Dominated by hunger and greed,
...

You have failed me again,
I had asked, you did not come,
I had full faith in you
I relied on you.
...

A little mynah at my window's ledge
Looked at me and the outside world,
Wanted to know who could be fair,
Me or someone mixed in the crowd
...

I am not a tall person
About six feet I guess
My son and grandson
They are more than six
...

A big roll of film
Quickly unwound
Is feeding my mind
With pictures
...

Walking lost in the thoughts of tomorrow
I followed the aroma that rose from the kitchen,
My nose led me to the dining hall.
For a brief moment, I forgot I was swiftly moving
...

I am the embodied happiness,
A bundle of
Unrestrained smiles and laughter;
No one can resist me
...

O Moon, my reliable friend,
To you I turn when I am alone and tired.
You cause the games we see the night plays with us,
You from the sky and I while standing on the earth,
...

These words are yours,
You wrote them on
Each leaf and surface
With a gold-tipped pen,
...
