Satish Verma Poems

The wait begins adorned with symbols
for shadow to fall
between hope and pretention.
...

Immenseness of the contrast –
from blue eyes to red apples,
(we must stop apple picking!)
from smashed leg to a stone wall –
...

It was an absent answer. Terror
was one abyss in unhindered
waking of eternity in being. The passions rise
between downpour of black rings on the terraces,
...

The tree, the sky, the moon, of
summer prick the eyes.
We suffer majestically.
The aberrations will
...

Death has been my partner,
my best friend.
Every day the fear,
greets me in my bed,
...

Somewhere the truth lies still and frozen
why can’t we measure ourselves?
Measure the unseen depth?
Not for gain, not for bliss.
...

Immensity of deviation was exploding.
Abruptly my frail frame collapsed.
I did not know the answers. I was lost
in my inner sanctum, full of hollow escapes.
...

We don’t want to
see each other naked.
with our barbs.
Seeking the truth outside
...

At the end of the thought
was sadness.
When temple lies broken
a little white lotus comes up
...

Tonight a dark force enters my room
I will play with planets to decide
the course of my destiny.
A future has been tied to my past.
...
