Poems from Ravinder Kumar Soni
Let me lock my ebullient self.
The confines of my heart seem too small,
The dew-drops do not guarantee a longer-term;
Within the petals,...
I was at the market place,
Selecting mangoes
It was then over the mobile,
I was dictated a list of things
My wife wanted me to purchase,...
Call their group murder or bandits
The crows do not alter their ways,
They must kill, scavenge or steal.
Their strong beaks and sharp...
I stood at the doorway,
Amidst the assembled devotees
Crowding the temple,
Their constant murmur filled the air;
Each had a chosen desire...
No, no, no;
It is a definite no;
I cannot keep my windows shuttered
And the doors locked,
I have no fear of you
But I cannot keep you out...
