Satish Verma Poems

You catch the words
in air. Life takes revenge.
Era ends with alter ego.
...

A windless kite was
wavering, like a prayer in sky without
words. Would you come to see me?
...

I do not want to become
plaintiff or defendant.
Untethered, I will punish myself
for metaphysical nuances.
...

Do not stoke the desires tonight,
my moon is away on the cusp of doubts.
Count you must the needles in heart, of
ifs and buts? A fragile truce was anathema
...

to set the wings free,
a shadow self without flesh and bones
to rip out the enormity of silence

will not let the fossil weep
for innocent sun.
A mayfly floats like
...

Increased vascularity of
the road less travelled, I have
started liking you again.
...

Incendiary crunch,
waiting to bloom. The self- flagellation
meets half-way the virtuous love.
...

Prowling in moonlight,
time beats. Alone I was looted
like the moon. O ballad I will not believe you.
...

Joining back tribe
was not atonement
for separation.
