Vishnu Sampoorn Poems

Life is a tale of 16 lines
of kings, queens, lords and wives,

Whose name and fame, far and wide
everyone wanting to live such lives
...

Someday, when I am gone,
I'll be remembered by all
As the Man who helped them,
who had stumbled and had to fall
...

Reach out your hand, you'll touch the Sky,
You may be small but you can try

Your steps may falter, you may fall,
The road's corner may bring a wall
...

Death,
I've seen you many times;

Unexpectedly, you arrive
In front of my eyes, sometimes
...

That door had been shut for years
No sound ever passed its ears
Its eyes were starved, for light,
Inside was just silent Night
...

Why worry for this tide of time
It's a moment of problem though

This is the time you must rise
True character you must show
...

Life,
I've seen you many times
opening the locks of your gate
Moving in a bouncy gait
...

When the Sun is setting on you,
Your faith, is losing fast,
When you find all good is gone,
Everyone on you has evils cast
...

These eyes, the light, this hair,
the Night
You are just a beautiful song
Your touch, so slight, Your heart,
...

Some things are meant to be felt,
all cannot be spoken
If they are not understood,
the heart could be broken
...
