Satish Verma Poems

This way it was
this way it happened
I could not run along the river.
...

Choice was washing the guilt
or keeping mind shut.
Microscopic deterioration
in the brain had set in.
...

I will put you on my prayer
One day you will come back to pay debt.
Come and sit beside me.
...

Light comes, light goes. You
enter my poems to subdue the stings.
Four alphabets keep me alive.
...

You were asking a pound
of flesh. What kind of love it was-
to burn the sky at dusk?
...

Don't drop my words.
Being apart I will not reach you.
There was some haziness on moon.
...

I hear your voice from far away.
I was still searching you in jungle of pain.
The legend crumbles downplaying.
...

Why stroking gold
nuggets, I have become poor.Give
me a brief stop to think.
...

Put the moonlight on leash.
You give me rarest pain. I will suffer.
Moon becomes lonely like a lover.
...

You are my book.
I am opening you,
page by page.
