Drift Wood

by Satish Verma   Aug 16, 2017


This politics of poverty
erupts again,
entrapped in arcane script.
A code of words will find
the fault lines.

Coerced to wait in a
black book, you start forgetting
the rules of game. It hits you
when you were writing
a poem.

At the end of the arguments
a lynx eyed moon walks
on the lake of tears, constructing
a dam of bread, for
a broken promise.

    The first piece of love I read from you. There is a heavy feeling of sadness in this piece. The last stanza is definitely fantastic.
