Campus Poems Poem by Sachin Ketkar

I)

In silence the faded pink domes
Share loneliness
With the evening gray and sad
Darkening walls
The dismal trees
Long for someone from ages

II)

Everyone's left
Classrooms brood
Over their emptiness

Shrubs cling to the red bricks
Like memories

Some solitary figure
Is seen on the abandoned streets

III)

These old walls
Will always stare blank
At their dim reflections
Within me

IV)

At night
Silence sleeps in a corner
Like a cast out street dog
In a discarded night

IV)

Somewhere
Sleepless boys
Near a hostel tea-stall
Chant songs
To the night

V)

Silence is empty
The old darkness
Is back again
