Komarraju Venkata Vinay Poems

As only light can dispel darkness,
As only love can drive away hate,
As only fragrance can draw the bees,
Only friends true can dispel loneliness
...

I cannot endure
Love’s violence.
I fear his embrace.
Hide me friends.
...

He came yester night
Or did I dream
That I melted, all?
Or did it seem?
...

He is rough, that cowherd,
That rustic boy.
With raw strength he crushes
Love’s tender joy.
...

All the world may disown you
And fate may let loose her hounds of hunger
The gods may guide you to ruin
And throw you down the cliff of criticism
...

The long winter-nights of separation
Are now mere photographs
In the dusty album of past memories;
The present moments of warm togetherness
...

From a fallen log a wonder to make
From a withered leaf a lesson to take
On a moonless night the stars to count
To draw faith from the rocks of doubt
...

What joy can stand the blows of time
That fall with the weight of death and decay?
The earth-born must unto earth return
Sans life, sans love, sans all happiness-
...

As the day and night alloy into twilight
A stirring turbulence strikes my heart.
The soul watches what is not
And in sympathy identifies with it.
...

All must pass through the fire of Death
The rich, the poor, the sick, the well;
Not all the wood of possessions
Nor all the oil of pride and riches
...

The world is no place for you my brethren
It’s so callous, so heartless, so dreary.
It’s no place for you my brethren
Who know not the sweetness of toil
...

An aching heaviness fills the anxious heart
And slowly spreads into every living sinew.
All life must pass through this hungry hour
Hungry for love and for that tender touch
...

My hallowed land needs
Not muscles alone but manliness
Not passion but patience:
More than sympathy she needs sacrifice.
...

Is this the end or a new dawn?
The heart-besoftening colours spread
Over the vast kingdom of the sky-
My thought-birds rest
...

The thorn stabs the soft heart-depths
And lodges there its violent barb;
The heart in pain writhes in silence
Lest any behold her bleeding tears.
...

She stood, her face wondrously lit
Calm, confident and courage aglow
As her fiery radiance battled with darkness.
She knew she would be cast aside unthanked
...

I sincerely believe that poetry is an expression of the inner self and you have done that wonderfully. When verses flow from the heart, from the soul, they dont need any comments from anyone. They are flawless. Yet i would like to say... I read all your poems that have been put up in the site. You poeted on different feelings/emotions. You mentioned that one part of your poems are your love for your radha. How about one for family....parents, et al? I would look forward for one on that. Good Luck and God Bless! !

we write for feedback as a scream is answered with concern. What you write is gold if it finds you content. If when you rise from your writing and a note rings like a bell in the silence of contentment then you have accomplished that which you set about to create. You will not need the admiration of anyone to know this. Poetry is an inner process a condition of the inner predicament. I am no different from you in as much as my feelings are that of you as a human being. I crave, I satisfy, I sleep
