Sanu Sharma Poems

May I meet you someday like this
may there be no rush of saying goodbye
may there be no fear of interruptions
may all the emotions be poured out,
...

How vast, how extensive
the boundary of your company
the magnificence of your affection.
...

At times, my life whispers falsehoods to me
sometimes, I too tell lies to my life
at times, I suffer the fallout of deceit's decree,
and sometimes, I endure penalties for my lies.
...

With a bit of mud upon their peak
a pair of tiny birds ventured into our abode.
I asked my mother, tinged with excitement
'Mother! Why have they graced our home? '
...

Once, the heart
expressed itself freely
listened without resistance
but nowadays
...

The rain drenches not my heart
spring ignites not my desires
and in the name of love
these days
...

I know
even if the sky bends low
it can't caress the earth below.
I know
...

How distant you reside
from the confines of mine
I harbor no concern.
...

Hidden are
the faces around me,
like words tucked within quotation marks.
...

The Best Poem Of Sanu Sharma

May I Meet You Someday Like This

May I meet you someday like this
may there be no rush of saying goodbye
may there be no fear of interruptions
may all the emotions be poured out,
and every nook and cranny of my heart be emptied.
may I hold no regrets within
may memories not haunt us later.

May I never tire of expressing myself
may I find contentment in listening to you
may there be no constraints of time
and may we be bound together as a single knot
you, time, and I.

May I grasp you and drift into a deep slumber
may there be no haste to wake up
may there be no fear of missing a moment
may I get melted on your embrace, and
meld into your wholeness
just as the soul merges with the Supreme Being

May there be no unfulfilled dreams like this
may there be realities that satisfy me.

Someday, may I meet you
just like this.
