A name without
a face. I am an ancestor
unknown.
A shortened height,
difficult to exult
in honors bestowed.
The light hurts, in
earthen cave. You write
on wall of conscience.
The mud clings.
Stink covers you, like
serpentine arm.
The arbor has many
colors. I will choose
none in dark.

Between life and death
a photo finish race
will decide the relationship.
There was intoxication
at heights. Your throat had
become hoarsed, sliced
after a scream. Matchsticks
were thrust in the
gnawed mound of kneaded
flour. The kitchen
was going to explode.
Barehands you were
picking the black beans;
parting me lip by lip
caressing me thumb by thumb.

The heritage
went for a sale. A tree
stands denuded, after
a nudie.
An orange land hides
the broken remains of terra
cota. I wanted an earthen
inkpot and a reed pen.
There was a wounded word
on the tongue. A
dragonfly leaves the voracious
appetite and skims on milk.
Pulsating cleavage
gets a prize. The salt lakes
are full. A caged bird
will not sing.
Satish Verma, 24 december 2018
How much honest you were
while climbing the stairs,
to inherit the shame of century,
invoking the remains?
A hip will not move for the voidance.
A notch below, the
exhumation will prove the Taser
attack, stunning the history.
Let us sit and take over tea
under the depressed moon, pondering
on the nature of man. When
you reach the top, you become
a lesser rich. Groping the lonelier
grief of poverty, I become
more humane. The water swells
very often, I see the world
now by closed eyes.
I walk with my shadow shrunk
under my feet. I become
the world.
Satish Verma, 23 december 2018
When hunger becomes
a little god. You start waiting
for a miracle to happen.
Like a grandfather clock, you
had stopped moving. Time
becomes a scoop from your ancestor’s
skull. You start digging
the floor for broken pins,
holding the secret prayers.
You watch yourself now
buried in words, picking up
some flowers with numb
hands, waiting for the ants
to come, to open the
curved in, corona of narcissus.
Satish Verma, 22 december 2018
Sexism was chasing a
gibbous moon whole night.
I ask the virtuous dark,
will you be a hangman?
Targeted love was a bliss
for a dying man. You need
to walk on a fine line to
attain the liberation.
Despite the coveted prize,
killing was more convenient.
There hangs a tale, you
cannot play the tune again.
Without the hyphen, the
other side becomes blue.
A belief starts the tremors
in the sleeves of a headless moon.
Satish Verma, 21 december 2018
With tall questions I am
alone, waiting for the
tomb robbers to come.
Truth was no more a religion.
You wanted to consecrate―
the illusion, sealed in myths.
A graffiti appears on the
waiting trees. Who put―
the curse on swaying blooms?
The dialect of the moon will
not listen to heart beats of sun.
The grammar was in primitive state.
Yes, the music of lake has
a meaning. The boat will carry
the wreaths for the wilting words.
Satish Verma, 19 december 2018
A poem, like death-was
unpredictable. You wait for it,
it does not come.
Then you drag a corpse
on stones to find its home
which never materializes.
You give me a hurt. I
become mute. Very shy
to accept the verbatim.
How different we are
in alikeness. I touch you in twilight
of life to become one.
And from daily life
I gather the pain, to print
the version of tomorrow.

I DID EVERYTHING EVEN YOU DIDN`T ASK ME FOR.
DANCING ON MY MOTION GRAVE,
SMILING TO MY ANIMAL FACE.
DYING DOG ON YOUR WHISTLE OF EXPECTATIONS.
SO DRUNK OF LOVING YOU THAT I FORGOT;
FORGOT WHO I AM AND WHERE I `M GOING TO.
LOST LID OF MY DETERMINATIONS AND...
FAITH.
BEING SEEN THROUGH YOUR GLASSES,
I`M NOT WHAT YOU REALLY SEE.
REAL DAYS ARE FOR MY SCREAM FOR DIE;
DIE FOR GET TRUE FROM YOUR.
YOU BEING AWAY AND YOURSELF...
I ACCEPT YOU BETRAYED ME.
LIED AND HAPPY BEING YOUR SLAVE.
RUNNING AWAY IN...TELL ME MY LOVE WHERE I`AM?
SACRIFICE

It's my last chance to convince you.. that "rainbows aren't just rain"..
And sometimes when we sacrifice.. there's so much more to gain,
Knock down all the walls you built.. and let my heart come in..
Feed to me my hearts desire.. for what its always been,
You still take my breath away.. as you did the day we met..
And the fire still burns beneath my skin.. as does my hearts regret,
I've waited for so long for you.. with hopes you'd someday see..
A friend who's always cared for you.. and what you mean to me,
I just want to look at you.. and tell you what I feel..
Before so much time has passed away.. that I never will,
One last chance to touch you.. before my heart lets go..
One less dream to fly away.. with love I'll never show,
To have you feel what I can't say.. to lay my hands on you..
To show my heart without one word.. is what I need to do,
To look into those deep blue eyes.. that take me far away..
Or dream of what could never be.. as you ask me to stay,
One last chance to cool the flames.. that have raged inside for years..
One last chance to turn the page.. and put an end to tears.
