Poems—Amit Saraf

 

Meghalaya Contours

My abode amidst nurturing clouds,

satiates ambitious undertones,

green waterfalls drench fertile rocks,

aromatic sunlight bathes shimmering lakes,

pure air amplifies whispered sonnets,

quiet walks adorn contemplative reflections,

buoyant camaraderie uplift human woe;

when metaphysical ruminations bubble,

tip the delicate balance,

when deep internal yearnings surface,

can the phoenix rise from the ashes.

Monostich

She laughed at my funeral; I stirred.

Shangri La

Noctilucent twilight elopes with mischievous moon,

Madagascan lovebirds drink into oblivion,

Dilettantes drown in the crescendo of a chameleon poet’s whisper.

Of Dragons and the Afterlife 

Structural fallacies

Starry swims

Chaotic Melancholy

Gratifying Alienation

Restricting Routine

Molesting Reality

Indifferent love

Atlas shrugs

Heroic glimpses

Electrocuting insights

Neural wars

Thumping thirst

Curtains yanked

Beaming Rivers

Lover's caress

Buoying spring
