Song of Pages & a Coffer

come my dear friend, sit beside me.

no it is not another poem am going to read to you

no it is not another poem of mine am going to ask you read


hush…listen to the blank of this night…to-night

last train had left the junction…

the plastic, paper scrapes flying in the air…

the banyan tree leaves rubbing each other

creating the melodious psithurism with other trees…and nocturnal noises…


hush…listen, now, the serene calm tone of pages

that am tearing from my diary…my manuscript…

no one read them is a lie…few read them…

few…promised reader fail the promise…

all are busy not I ’cause am just a poet…

just a friend…knocking…screaming…read…

read my poem…please…read…read…

but this should stop…all…all are trash


you want to leave…you are angry at me…

am not going to hold back…you

you shall better leave…if she…if you…want to read my poems

search the coffer…that I’ll take with me…

don’t burn me…bury me…with the manuscripts…with the diaries…

  2. the poet always tortured, I can relate Sangbad, sometimes we want to write but afraid our words will be misunderstood, why cant people see that the words help us to heal and not hurt others, you give a really amazing look into the poets gentle heart that only bleeds love!

    1. Besides this many a times when we ask someone to read and comment on a poem they just shut the door by saying will or later…but, they never does…I mixed this both and wrote that poem…and now am cleaning my Following list by removing a lot who never paid a heed to my posts but want attention to their posts…soon will post on this matter…

  4. U might succeed in burning the pages… But not the words or the emotions… It will flow… Raw and true… You can bury them too, but it will grow… As flowers and trees… As life itself….
