Life on the boil
Eshwara Prasad Jun 2023
Ascetic clouds.
No rain dumped.
Distraught souls.

Respond like a real human
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2023
You had vowed that if called, while standing in front of the ocean, you will arrive as a reviving wave current.
You will appear as a calming downpour if I call while standing beneath a cloud.
You will arrive as all rejuvenating lava if I call while standing in front of a volcano.
You will appear as rays of illumination if I call while standing in front of a scorching sun.
You will arrive as a cool breeze if I call while standing in front of a howling wind.
But all I want is that when I call you in a human voice, you respond like a real human.

Poetic Grandeur
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2023
I'm blind to anything that isn't poetic at its core.

What color is love?
Eshwara Prasad May 2023
A profound lyric becomes a powerful wind of steadfast love.
Lifts the hate-filled cloak that has been engulfing humanity.
A new sense of calm and tranquilly descends across the divided society.

Lost in Translation
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
You had promised me that you will translate all of my poems into a widely spoken foreign language.

Now, your volt face, declaring my poems unworthy of even a single read, has jolted my faith in my poetic abilities rather than in your intentions.

Poetry is a service
Eshwara Prasad Dec 2022
Where has everyone gone?
Nobody I know is visible here.
Will at least a few return?
What happens if none do?
Can I spend a long time here by myself?
Will it be worthwhile, if at all.
I want to remain because I need to motivate them to return, regardless of what happens.
Do I have a chance of success?
Well, I'm clueless right now, but I'm going to stay here to be available to others.
