Surjyajeevan Yumnam Poems

In the dreaded silence of midnight,
I lie on my hard rolled mattress,
Gazing at the spider play with its web;
Caught in the maze of instinctive vigil,
...

We born and die,
We love and hate,
We care and snub,
We learn and forget,
...

Feelings are many; words are limited.
Lots to tell, few listens.
When loves are waited by sorrow.
When loneliness becomes you.
...

The past few days
I had horrendous dreams
A fear of losing you
Trepidation of life without you.
...

I dream for better life
Forgetting the sickening past

We dream for better future
...

Tonight the candle will burn
Till it consume itself in it
But, for whom will you burn to the ground?
For whom will you shed your tears?
...

Avoid me
Play no politics with me
I am the person who jealous not
Want to remember you
...

What thought of you should I have today?
While walking in these nostalgic lanes,
Among those crooning sounds from the unknown.
Seems nothing has changed besides the thoughts of mine and yours,
...
