Arvind Srivastava Poems

I keep my memories
on my shoulder
A slight scratch on it
I do not accept
...

What happened to me was not justified
People associated with management are generally not kind
They are busy saving their fake dignity
They shuffle words like cards
...

The world is scared

With a hope
That as soon as the soldiers return
...

भाड़ में जाओ दुनिया के खूबसूरत चेहरों
क्रांति गीत और लाल आकाश
प्रेम-मिलन के भावुक शब्दों
गंध की तलाश में भटकती आत्माओं
...

..as if
time had wandered in pitch darkness
as if a squirrel
had been caught by a hunting dog
...

In love

Many wrote letters with blood
...

A poet from a village, town or district

undertakes a long journey to meet a metropolitan poet
...

Some things do not become part of folklore, legend or rumour
All things on earth work in turns
Like all the letters of a type-machine do not come on paper at the same time
Like we cannot see all the scenes of a play at once
...

The king is sad

His daughter
...

The birds were talking

That our pleasant days of laughter and happiness
...
