Shourav Pednekar Poems

They claim to see this light
A most resplendent sight
Yet it has escaped my vision
...

The profound sound of silence,
the emotions behind a still face,
the wrinkles caused by laughter,
the depth in their gaze.
...

The lonely night and I,
With soul-fury afire,
Consummate our thought-love,
Quenching our desire.
...

She is not within my grasp,
she has graced me by her touch.
I have heard her silent whispers
and felt her tender clutch.
...

The watch stares at me broken,
Time lying still.

Thinking, thinking, dreaming.
...

Do we really know the persons close to us?
What means there are to tell?
The belief of acquaintance is reassuring,
But ignorance does compel.
...

He survived my barbs.
I resorted to punches.
He said thank you.
What could I do?
...

I gave an old lady a plate of food
And submitted my glory to the papers.
I wondered if I had done my bit of good
When I saw her inviting the crows.
...

Let my desires go unfulfilled,
But believe in me.
As I have faith in thee,
And let you be.
...

I feel small, and in that smallness, I have found the magnitude.
I have found it, my love, I have found love.
And now I cry with gratitude.
...
