Two Poems from our Sad, Grief, Sympathy, Broken Heart Poetry Collection

 
 
THE BEGGAR
   
Author: Sunita Chikhalikar
   
Poem:
THE BEGGAR
   
  His eyes were watchful,scanning the place,
Wondering who would spare him a grace;
He had no shirt and his pants were torn,
And a tattered towel was slung on the wall;
A plate with few coins spoke of his plight,
And a half-eaten loaf would he dine that night;
His comb had few bristles,his hair had no sheen,
Though his lips were cracked, his face was surprisingly clean;
His cheeks were drawn with the hint of a dimple,
His nose-acquiline;its tip carries a pimple;
He wore no shoes and his veins showed out bold,
As he hugged himself to ward off the cold;
Many people came and many people went,
Through the crowded railway station's gate;
But none looked at him,or even paid heed,
To what he yearned for;what he did need.

T LENS
   
Author: Aarti Kukreja
   
Poem: T LENS
   

Watching through a T Lens,
A once in a lifetime visual
That sensated all my senses.
A precise and super steady shot,
Of a tiny person
With a bedraggled and fractured stroud
Walking down a bemired road
Somehow to me, looking like a caliph
With a hued cape and a scepter.
No smile, but still I captured one,
So much sweat, but I saw none.
Innocence in abundance,
And struggle from venom.
Suddenly the zephyr was tangible,
And the king of the meglopolis
One and sole constant legworker,
Not in aid of others
But in futherance of his mother
Who was lying next to necrosis
In want of water
And love from her cherub.
How long will she endure?
Will it be the water,
Or his emotion that will save her?
Or even his prayer on the way,
Maybe nothing at all.
Maybe her gerent will return;
Return to see her in irreversible coma.
He might be the king to me
But he will be nothing more than
A vagabond, who is orphaned
And who will again tomorrow walk
Down the same road
And I will capture him in my frame
T Lens and super steady;
Super steady like his bleeding heart.
