Just when they float away,

the Sun sparkles brilliantly.

miniature version of Milky Way.

But our mind emits

There isn't an option.
The darkness of life beckons.

even if it is of your sworn

enemy.

Where is that we have come
walking together for so long

The road ends here in the cemetery
Let us rest here.
Eshwara Prasad Feb 2021
The poetry you wrote for me in the air was carried by a pathogen.

I have become severely ill
after I inhaled it.
Eshwara Prasad Jun 2020
If you have the will....
if you have the strength....

embrace me like an Octopus and break all the bones in my body and devour me if you can.

I am tired of prolonging life for that  one elusive magic moment.

Oh, Illusion, you seductive master of disguise, don't dress up in new attire and deceive my fragile mind, which has already been disgraced and misled by desires several times.
Your enticing yet lethal hug has stifled my life.

Enemy in the act.
Spider like stealth.
Life turns potboiler,
if trapped.

My poetic mind is dead

But my poetic heart is

Still beating!

I promise, my future
poems will be more
Colorful!

You made others smile all your life

When dead, the contour of your face should suggest that you left this world smilingly.
Eshwara Prasad Sep 2020
I have realised life is lifeless
That's why I live in solitude
like a dead stone.
Eshwara Prasad Mar 2023
Although an eternal curtain fell on a simple and beautiful chapter of your pious spirit, your flawless innocent smile, unconditional love, heartless jokes...are still fresh in my heart.

Many of your comments

are better than my poetry.

The mind, like a fossil, is constantly trying to cling to its decommissioned past.
Eshwara Prasad Mar 2022
Who can forget your humorous repartees and laid-back demeanour?

your propensity to bestow entertaining nicknames on your coworkers kept everyone guessing about who would be your next victim.

Though you did not adequately fill the
void left by your illustrious seniors,
you compensated with your amazing
wit and amusing comments on everything that grabbed your eye.

You will forever live in my heart.
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
You stood under the tree
to shed all your worries.

The tree shed all its leaves
to bury all your worries.

I don't remember my friends now,

because there is no guarantee
they remember me now!

Democracy has survived
because people sleepwalk
to voting booths to caste their
vote.
Eshwara Prasad Sep 2020
It's not Democracy
that scares me,
It's the custodians....
Eshwara Prasad May 2021
I tumbled down the sky like a space scrap after you tossed me out of your orbit, plunging into a sea of despair.
Although I don't see any lifeboats approaching, sharks have picked up on my scent.
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2023
When one is bedridden and confined,
the depth of one's  friendship with others unfolds.
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2023
Who can fathom the depths of my plight except the verses that I strive to write?

Inside, a straw of bruised feelings is set on fire.
Above the rotting mass of mistrust and slaughter, there is a billowing smoke of desecrated feelings.

Desires compel action.

To live without effort

Live without desires

Sin is blind.
Pain is merciless.

I shed no tear ;
poverty, disease,
death are common sight.

I don't chase happiness ;
Wealth, opulence, extravagance
are out of reach.

I don't strive to live;
Destiny is controlled
by fate.
Eshwara Prasad Jun 2020
As a lotus leaf isn't

Wetted by the dew drop

so am I, unaffected by the

fantasies of the material world.

I cannot love anyone
because I have dextro-cardia.

If you marry a virtuous
Man, heaven is just 3 feet

If you marry a virtuous
Woman, heaven is just 1
feet away.

Always know that you are
Little bit different than others.

Don't be resistant to different
Understandings of yourself
by others.

Mind  ignores all the
things we have and craves for
things we do not have.

Wandering, disavowing eyes might enhance a face's beauty, but the invisible heart's ceaseless efforts truly portray the soul's mysterious existence.
