Satish Verma Poems

Whenever I write
a poem, blood oozes out.
Why was I catching the fire?
...

Oh god, be a human
and read the book of my pain.
It was different from incarnation
...

Polarity hits you at face, Thoughts. Move
inversely. The deed, words, slogans
divide the eternity of time. No hygienic
patience. Persons coming from channels only.
...

When you were learning
how to kill,
somebody was beheading my faith.
...

The gods of the road
sign. Today they are going to ache
from the dirt of barefoot travellers.
...

a pervasive bareness
walks like an honest lie
on the road to truth the bone white marble
god oversees the planet green’s woes
...

A moon interrupted;
riles the social class.
A native sense comes of age.
...

Pushed by troubled waters
on the periphery; dream
interrupted, you start
coloring your nails differently.
...

A brisling terror
tormenting the kelp.

Give me a lamenting mast
...

A restive moon
went on skirmishing with─
the palm leaves in dark.
