Satish Verma Poems

In unaligned loneliness,
tonight, a liquefied moon
will fill up my glass, and my shadow
will sit beside me and we will drink the pain.
...

That yellow moon haunts me again
and overleaps my sleep.
I do not dare to walk in the graves
of your eyes. The palace
...

Watching the wilting dividers,
wanted to declock the time
in timeless death:
though life must move on.
...

When I flew into a storm
my words collided with thunder
and stars fell on ashes of dead.
I wanted to scream. Seeking a freeze
...

The unwed moon
rowing like a swan on blue lake
after making love to silence.
...

A felled tear reflects the rainbow.
I wait for the night.
Moon had promised an audience.
...

seething yet silent in land of outrage:
strictures of life,
my eyes will not see the setting sun;
...

And, it tore through dumb claim;
the fakes had commingled with
the truth. Nowhere my soul
found peace.
...

Asphyxiated by curled hands.
Punishment for tainted moon,
it has floated down to
darker side of continence.
...

Moon in dying
on the icy bridge

as I stand in fog to hear the music
...
