CHHAT

they light  crackers
from early dawn to welcome
the chhat sunrise:
half-wet women stand in the pond
to offer arghya to the first rays

DEPRESSION, poem - Ram Krishna Singh poems | Best Poems



depressed mount of sun
and feeble supporting lines--
will i die unknown?
left rotting in the sand
and wind oozing foul smell?

i don't want the sun
to miss my light and blame
the night for writing
the fate with wintry fingers
licking the legs of scarecrow

they can't close their eyes
to the images i brew
for burying secrets
against a dusty mirror
against god's hidden errors

--R.K.Singh

SURVIVAL

The trees are taller than my height
the lips osculate in their shade
I enjoy the wind that shakes them

or undresses my sleepless nights
wrapped in shawl without mirrors of stars:
I survive the missing moon's light

--R.K.Singh
