Sathya Narayana Poems

At the distant verge of the horizon
slowly submerging is the weary Sun
with reddened face
bidding grudging adieus
...

A demon garbed as human
raped a lame and naive woman!
The earth didn't crack! !
...

Closed eyes too can see
Visuals on heart-easel
Tight lips too can speak
In eloquence expressive silence
...

MOTHER’S PLAINT
Smoke pipes are sprouting
Far and wide like iron saplings
Spiking through her tender flesh
...

He lost his parents
In communal riots
But he forgot it!
...

MY STRENGTH

What is in life, so great?
Hard times arrive to hurt
...

Who killed whom?
How many died
our men; their men?
Crushed flesh and bones
...

You ask me: what I expect
Well! It is just a ‘date'.
While the abetting inky night
is writing down a tasteful menu,
...

Hereafter they live again
Not by the names
They were christened when born
But by the names
...
