Rishit Desai Poems

Life in the city is an awful hustle,
We make no time to look around;
Must complete a task to start anew that second,
Even the comforting bed is now a battleground.
...

If the path before you is clear,
It may be your eyes but definitely another's mind;
If you know what you are looking for,
Then that is all you will ever find.
...

You gave us legs, we trampled the earth,
You gave us hands, now we kill since birth;
You gave us eyes, but not the sight,
You gave us speech, now we speak to fight;
...

The day I was born was not just another night,
The stars were all aligned, neither bull nor scorpion put up a fight;
What better beginning than to let the moon govern your tide,
It is not good enough to just have one’s mother by his side.
...

It is January now and I hate the dryness,
Her dove-like eyes entice me with their shyness;
I hope and pray this month to be dear,
O! Why did I fall in love this time of the year?
...

Scorpions bite
Without a hiss;
Some bugs bite
Along with a kiss.
...

In adversity and for pity
I can see her drops appear;

But why use them for deceit
...

Thetis held Achilles by his heel and dipped him in the Styx,
Gandhari's vision made Duryodhana impervious, but for his Fix;

A Mother may try all to shape His destiny and fate,
...

The one thing that makes me proud
Is my Ignorance, That I don't need to fake;
The more I read, the more I learn
makes me certain, That no one can take.
...

Aditya marched
Several hundred of them two
Followed their king or was it the beat
Of the golden drums that played
...
