Satish Verma Poems

Outside me was a howling light
tracing a path.
Ending the struggle
of abstract thoughts.
...

I do not display, but am.
Where the heart lies.
In truth. I try to discover the centre
of sorrow and bliss.
...

It was there all the time
the core fear, my inadequacy.
Tonight I will let go off the fire
and become a non-moving time.
...

He did not depart
or reached anywhere,
and did not realize himself.
When words could not find the meaning,
...

Looking beyond the window
I always wanted to shut my eyes.
No sky could hold my head.
I did’t want to see the innocent smiles
...

For the sake of lake, I climbed
on the weeping hills
to see the other side of moon.
The precipice of hunger weighs heavily
...

He, making his own cast. You knew it.
Unique mystique of transparency.
You could not touch him.
...

Dying daily in eternity
for it to be,
a tear dropp held all the pain of life.
You were lost in words,
...

This world was too much.
in him.
Sometimes he wanted
to go insane.
...

Reticent were moon, sky and birds.
A pall of gloom spread on the trees.
Stoically I rode on the wings of pain,
to watch the descending values.
...
