Prayer Starts

You speak louder
in dark, unhinged, unchained
to become perfect.

I will not change
myself. Let the river flow.
I will have no banks.

The smoke rises
from the windows of ruined dreams.
Your footprints become relic.

Satish Verma

After The Body

Time has no time.
I cannot find myself in skyless
story of many stops.

A bohemian wants
to become Buddha without
sitting under the Bo tree.

You were touched
untouching me, when I
adored the water of deep.

Satish Verma

Your Thoughts Live Around Me

Your painted toes
disturbed my sound sleep.
Your scented hands tremble.

The gods would
punish me, if I don't wipe
off your burning tears.

You stole my death
and put her in chains.
The unburied truth smiles.

Satish Verma

My Blood, My Bones

Mind remains occupied
after repeat proxy.
Wanted to kiss the thorns of life

You steal a sentence
to travel back to celebrate
the other side of moon.

Will be the same
goddess will remain in the
asylum of my love?

Satish Verma

Moon Slept In My Arms

The shadow love
behaves like cannabis.
I laugh with you.

Go to war. I say
to myself. You prepared
nothing for yourself.

Why did you want
to wash the golden ring
with your tears?

Satish Verma

In Cross-Hairs

You look different
when you receive a huge
amount of love under crescent moon.

The baby kiss stops the
air amidst the leaves of roses
under black and blue sky.

Listen to darkness when
sun dips in crimson fog and
beautiful words disappear.

Satish Verma

Out Of Honey

You know when moon
kissed the sun, planet melted
and war of tears started.

Ah! the white scented
jasmines entwined to squeeze
the elixir of etherian love.

The untouched embrace,
was pure like ice of Himalayas
peak in golden light.
