Ravinder Kumar Soni Poems

We are to renew our ties, they say.
In what way, can I ask?
It is a long while that we sat, side by side,
Atop the tor hand in hand,
...

I was on a train to Chennai;
I opened the window and threw it out,
At once, it vanished from my sight,
My failures bundled up tightly.
...

What was it I said
When we parted
With you standing at your doorstep
And I on the outside
...

Torture me by the silence
That is outside me
If you must
I cannot endure my inner silence
...

Any belief of mine cannot live long,
More than I do,
It will surely die with me.
I believe I am God's other image,
...

The entire night I lay awake in my bed;
You never left me alone not even
To gaze into the moonless, cloudless night.
And,
...

Your smile
That makes my life
Sunny and bright,
Do not hide.
...

Nobody can lose,
Find or please the soul,
...

Hold Time as the culprit blocking you
Off and on, causing evil to raise its head,
Untruth to fan the fire
Of doubts and misgivings, the roadblocks,
...

These days the spring in my walk is not there,
Missing too is my willingness to venture outdoors;
A strange lethargy has set in.
...
