Annapurna Sharma Poems

JASMINE NIGHT
A Annapurna Sharma

I was named Jasmine
...

MURALS
A Annapurna Sharma

I pity the threatening shadows
...

Was it a solemn promise to be with me all your life?
Or a spurious intention to deceive and dwell in infidelity!
Can you break the subtle gossamer of truth and false?
...

In meditation, I
Sat cross-legged in silence
Locked the lashes in tandem
Tracked the rhythmic breath
...

With the first rays of dawn
She dived into the thicket
Pecked at the scattered worms
Belched after a hearty meal
...

From a lucid window
Of a fugitive train
A fleeting glimpse
Of the timeless ochre firmament
...
