Poems by E. Vishnupriya

Love Songs for You

I shan’t fetch

fragrance of first blossom.

I shan’t string

dews from morning earth.

I shan’t light

home with sun’s lantern.

I shan’t rise

moon in twilight.

I shan’t write

verse of opulent beauty.

I shan’t compose

either a love’s opus.

I shall know

my predilections for you.

I shall fold

your dreams within my lashes

see them glide before you.

I shall restore peace

whenever we fight.

Oh! Dear, dear oh!

Shut away

ruins of quarrels

out of your memory.

I shall ask you

Oh! Dear, dear oh!

benevolent troubles

innocent tears

solemnized solace

all in you.

Safety Pin

Between conflicts

when hooks and buttons rebel

a saviour comes

when six yard

threatens to slip and slither

off shoulder,

off ramp

while into strange attires

off body velcro gapes

a messiah comes

between teeth, sliding on lips

to aid

a verve dives

into layers

swims out

fishing fabric together

secure, intact.
