Satish Verma Poems

Again I scare myself
of the very thing.
Moon was landing on lake
for inward probe.
...

take back your smile,
the fish has died in my hands;
nowhere you have touched me
deep in the brutal corona of a black moon -
...

Blood and bones
become qualification
watching and being watched.
...

like ether, permeating all space
mesmerizing,
he walked away, head of his enemy
in his hand,
...

The promised apple I did not eat.

The red skin started bleeding
in my palm. Butterfly flesh
...

Death was prowling
from funeral to funeral.
No shadow will be spared today.
...

Reeling in faith, dread of truth overpowers
I loved the reason.
My legs were shaky when I was treading
on the barbs
...

Strange thoughts give words
a pain. A mountain unfolds
a tunnel.He who carries a vase of ashes
must enter the gate to plot a path
...

Robbing the silence of heights
to undo the whole sky, you lean on
an enigma to become reverential,
...

The heritage. Storm of violence
in our chromosomes: perverts the senses.
Spooky fear of burnt houses, broken limbs,
utterly committing as witness of silent
...
