Satish Verma Poems

Segment by segment
the secret breaks. There was
no song afterwards.
...

A butterfly
in a bell jar.
All I know, we understand
each other.
...

Hard and brittle,
the cost of sealing the lips
was increasing overnight.
...

When jasmines sway,
a fling of scented air strikes your
face.The hymn to bouquet failed.
...

Listen Hamlet, there was
the age gap. I am learning to die
and you will defeat yourself.
...

A candid confession from you,
when your identity started protruding
from innocent rage.
...

I will ask you no more.
An answer settles the question.
Let myriad questions remain in air.
Thirst is larger than the river.
...

The lesion was
spreading. From
inside, I hear the wails.
...

How age slips away
from your hands?
How deep you will
go in the cavernous
...

Superstorm
outside. Inside a deep
ocean, thoughtless.
...
