Kuldeep Srivasatava (Four Poems)

 

No Hopes

 

Restless eyes amid the dark rampant of pain;

longing for ever-that silence sings,

swaying on its kingdom and beyond,

there are trees and trees but no leaves.

 

Betrayals

 

Memories collude,

those halting kisses

recall again the night

celestial doors were ajar;

your innocence giving me

one more chance to survive.

My breath is sufficiently squeezed,

the work of faceless entities,

I keep painting on blackness

as I develop my deep love for

betrayals and conclusions foregone

 

 

 Coldness

 

Inauspicious layers of a multitude,

I feel surrounded; hibernating shapes,

A transcendent noise spread in its vastness;

Another day without dawn-thy love I wouldn’t have,

I feel cold-outside my ecstasy stands frozen. 

 

 

 A Stranger

 

A day fulfills itself,

Sadness falls clumsily,

You ponder as the sun sinks swiftly,

Then you move from moor to moor;

The end of thought: madness unsettles,

Long, long ago, in this very room

You had become a stranger to yourself.

 

 

         

        UNDERGROUND 

        FLOWERS
