non sequitur
please do
not when we kiss
my lips against your lips
sweet dreams call the act our late night
suction
just 'cause
you're ticklish it
still sucks//

Self-immolation
near a waterfall?
Why did you leave your footwear
on the bank?
A women
turns into a snake.
Would you call
a snake charmer?
Tonight,
the moon was not sighted.
How can I start
my drink of elixir?

lacrimae rerum
let it
peep between the
lashes of your lid for
the briefest of moments but don't
hold it
back but
let it let it
brim over the edge down
the precipice that is your now
pale cheek
taste it
as it slides through
your trembling parted lips taste
the bitter saltiness of your
deep loss
let it
herald the start
the endless cascade of
grief after the numb denial
has gone
he was
you are
let what you shed
link you//

Death after:
In a decisive moment,
you abduct a
template.
Of insular world,
to explore
the ethereal beauty
of nothingness.
Melting like a big
chunk of glacier,
watching the civility
of a nude.
You will never
forget me. My alchemy
scatters,
the golden nuggets.
Satish Verma, 24 september 2017
My palm,
collects the dark energy.
Reversing the code, I
am not going for a big crunch!
Who wants to reclaim
the thunder from the spent
cloud? A pristine pure,
hot and wetted moon,
will never decide the fate.
Tonight I am going to drift
intentionally towards the
antigravity. Your eyes are
going to become epicenter
of a quake. A desire had
hundred moons. The galaxy
was vast and deep. The
world was still revolving
around the phallic symbols,
altering the walking pace
of the ruins.

Eels apart-
would you like to greet
the squid?
Resurrected,
from the mud
of quotes?
Epic was being
written, for the sake of the
sunken ship.
There was no pretext.
It was a brazen
assault on the delta.
The clash, the skirmish
will never end.
I am going to meet
the needless,
who had refused
to stitch the wounds.

first twilight
two years
have passed since last
we met the yew leaves dance
with the breeze you found me again
