Vartika Pandey Poems

For an attempt to begin such verse
I must abstain from any meter.
There has also been a murder of rhythm,
Amongst the other sentiments.
...

Some eyes behold, some deject
All likelihood that colors exist.

Black takes no other hue.
...

I be in dark when my eyes close
I be in dark when my eyes open
I be feeble, scratching over my scars
...

Prayers of love may fade in strife
Flowers of heaven may never bloom inside
A thing of beauty may not joy provide
But summons of death can never kill life.
...

The heavens are dim
And the ambiance sings
The culprit’s cacophonies.
A lady lies lifeless
...

The end and the beginning of wars of existence
When the darkness reigns just to evanescence
I have slain my nocturnal brethren
To mourn the arrival of daylight demons.
...

In that niche
So dark and deep
I found that delicacy
...

Descending upon the throbbing flesh like a serpent
With venom exploding
From each bit of thy deceiving, stupefying frame
I view thee, as an offering
...

The scorching sun and barrenness
Lifeless, no movement.
The cheerful rustling of leaves,
Their whispering, storytelling
...

You keep smothering
My enthusiasm, empathy, emotions
Your imprudent fear
Of losing control over these notions
...
