Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Ah to wait and wait!
The thrill in an anxious wait,
Where's when she's at gate?

Fine, old age comes and it will,
And it may bend you no mean,
But ne'er should that mean
You cannot grow greener still
...

Care not to quote your great qualities—
Be thou learned and wise
Or if not otherwise,
The wise know well enough what truth is,
...

We live in strange
Urban land,
Here, no one seems
No one's friend,
...

My advice honest,
A crooked tree told the rest,
Never be so straight.
...

Flame flutters and tide wanes without reason,
Death drops shutters as life sinks in a pit,
Day looks dull when hind dark clouds hides the sun,
Night is moonless, no stars are still well-lit.
...

Let's learn limits of pain to cross
And walk across where greens comforts are lain,
Far away, tossing aside convention,
To kiss unknown acres of new terrain,
...

When I published my book, my dream,
I offered a prayer to Him:

Pray ensure, it is received well,
...

I've never ever seen
An ugly thing alive
That be ugly
From every side—
...

Love me,
Let me love,
Lead me, or
Follow me,
...
