Four Micropoems on Love by Dr. Govindprasad S Kushwaha

BETWEEN 

My life is fleeting

and joys receding,

Always keep on

meeting and parting.

Love life is crushed

Between these two

And parting

deepens

Fated soul’s woe.

□

HER EYES STAB

My beloved is sweeter

than fragrant flowers,

And haunt

my heart

during

my waking hours.

Her eyes stab my heart

and leave it bleeding,

No thyme found

to cure

the twinge

I’m feeling.

□

OVER TO SEA

Come

my love

and hold

my hand,

I’ll go with you

over to sea

and sand.

Walk with me

and see

I may not fall,

Undergo grief

and pleasure

above all.

□

BLISS

Blond moon

slowlymeasures

the blue sky,

Our love deep

must bring

bliss in life dry.

Love loose

not its hold,

Let’s keep

the pledge,

And navigate

our vessel

safe to the life’s

sea edge.

Micropoems by Dr. Govindprasad S Kushwaha

God’s Breathe

It is God

Who commands

The wind

With a breath,

Of his own breath

And then

Filled the sail

Where

It was empty,

And emptied

where

It was full.

□

And Yet Again

Must I need

Linger in love

Until all these

Green things

Turn yellow

And then

Naked again,

And yet again.

□

Silent Promise

Oh my dear

There lurks dawn

In your eyes,

And in those eyes

And in that dawn

Is the silent mystery

Of deep night and

The silent promise

Of bright day.

□

Godly Childhood

Godly was

My childhood

No desire and

Envy find

And sensed no

sick mind.

Passions have

No tongue,

Such was

My age young.

□

Time Transitory

In our life

Joys and anguish

And fears

Are mixed

Time waits

For none

But speeds

In its way

Ends dark night

And the dawn

On its way. 

□

Without End

Since I met you

Find my life

Fret free,

My heart

Ever longs in glee

To live happily,

Without end,

And finally

Fated to meet

The blissful end. 

□

Sandy Wind

This world

Transitory,

Exist grand.

Embrace me

Like desert’s

Sandy wind.

Faint my eyes

The lot looks

Sallow,

Lost the sight,

Which way

To follow.
