HARVENDRA SINGH Poems

A Prayer in Darkness

In this world of uncertainty,
In this darkness, stark and impenetrable,
...

Like the focus of an electronic torch,
Your rays bathe me in a steady glow,
Bringing globules of health, happiness, prosperity—
Love, success, and power flow.
...

She is the shade of a tree cold and profound,
She is every herb to my aching wound.
She dabs my forehead, putting in her lap
And her lap's warmth gives me a cozy nap.
...

Some dead are alive,
Some alive are dead,
And some are thoughtless.
Some graves under the tree of morality
...

A whirlpool
And the spinning of the dead leaf,

For a moment, ecstasy, warmth;
...

In gardens of innocence, she blooms
A delicate flower, with a tender perfume
Her laughter echoes, like a gentle stream
But shadows creep, with a sinister scheme
...

The Key, Old, and Forgotten

The key, hangs on the nog,
Old, forgotten and alone,
...

The sky is changing,
The earth is changing
The heaven's changing,
Our life is changing.
...

One Day It Rained

One day it rain'd, it rain'd ov'r roofs,
Ov'r tops of trees, in open yards,
...

Towards the north-east, in the dark of night,
With a sudden flash, came a shaft of light.
From the eastern corner upto the southern side,
Into a shape of screen, some rays scatter'd wide.
...
