Seema Jayaraman Poems

A magnificent 'gandharva' wedding
Planned in the night sky
Sun, and Moon in groom's attire,
...

Wide eyed horror, why do you look at me
It definitely is, a human child in a cardboard
So here I am on your facebook post
Pictured a forward, could have been lost
...

As I held you in my arms, sinewy of all
The anchor, to hold you secure, eternally
Promises, A Father to his child, inscribes
Etched in their souls, spelled through the eyes
...

As I spring from the community transit
Warm smiles and morning wishes echoing
A deep breath and the view unfolding,
Of winding roads and far off buildings
...

Sunrise drum windows
dancing thru crystal chimes
few million rainbows
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

The warm friendly hand
embracing and encircling you
as the peaceful eternal sleep
come drifting on you
...

A birthing sun stretched,
outreach of golden fingers
Over the arch of
predawn's auburn wings
...

I hemmed and wrecked my head
to remember and write out a recipe
to pen the perfect set of words - poetry
toasting each dawn - a tasty savory
...

A lonely path in life they tread
Pair of eyes that beseech
for that one special sight
for that one and only sound
...

Swatches of Purple
Scratch corner of eyes
October blooms
