Seema Jayaraman Poems

A magnificent 'gandharva' wedding
Planned in the night sky
Sun, and Moon in groom's attire,
...

As I held you in my arms, sinewy of all
The anchor, to hold you secure, eternally
Promises, A Father to his child, inscribes
Etched in their souls, spelled through the eyes
...

As I spring from the community transit
Warm smiles and morning wishes echoing
A deep breath and the view unfolding,
Of winding roads and far off buildings
...

Sunrise drum windows
dancing thru crystal chimes
few million rainbows
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

The warm friendly hand
embracing and encircling you
as the peaceful eternal sleep
come drifting on you
...

A birthing sun stretched,
outreach of golden fingers
Over the arch of
predawn's auburn wings
...

I hemmed and wrecked my head
to remember and write out a recipe
to pen the perfect set of words - poetry
toasting each dawn - a tasty savory
...

Swatches of Purple
Scratch corner of eyes
October blooms
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

A lonely path in life they tread
Pair of eyes that beseech
for that one special sight
for that one and only sound
...

Clandestine anklets
Circus din dark thickets
Carousing - Crickets
...
