Avinash Nair Poems

There, under the stuttering street light,
She stands,
Tucking away those loose strands
Of her hair, filling the night
...

Unseen, unheeded strands of existence,
Unheard is their Sound of Silence,
Dark faces smeared with dirt,
With traces of fear and hurt.
...

When time passes as time does,
Without you noticing it passing by,
A helpless senselessness creeps in you
That becomes impossible to hide.
...

I hold her close to me,
So close, so near,
That we cease to be
Two different entities.
...

For love is, that fleeting feeling
Of warmth in the coldest of nights.
It is the gradual healing
Of the pain in your twilights.
...

Thin, unnoticed she moves,
Amidst the crowd
Which promptly disapproves
Her or at least the shroud
...

Again, he embarks on this journey,
A journey without destination
With a slight change;
This time, it is alone
...

With our fingers entwined in deep embrace
We stare out, away to some different space
The passion unspent is heightened here,
But then there is this guilt with a tinge of fear
...

Suddenly he has grown old,
His once proud gaze
And forehead bold
Seem tired and cold,
...

What is it that you think, with your

Eyes fixated somewhere in between
...
