Best Artbetrayal Poems


Can I Tell You My Secrets

can i tell you my secret?
a secret so sad that your eyes fill
and you start to cry
a secret so sad that you

could never imagine
can i tell you my secret?
a secret so horrible that it makes you
want to die

a secret so horrible that 
you quiver in fear
can i tell you my secret?
a secret of happiness

a happiness that never ends
can i tell you my secret?
a secret of betrayal that cuts 
you so deep it will never heal

can i tell you my secret?
a secret of love and pain that 
if i tell you my heart has been hurt and beats no more
you are willing to give me yours 

so will you keep all my secrets?
these secrets i hold dear
will you lock them away never to be heard?
to only you i whisper these secrets

i ask you now once more
can i tell you my secrets?

Empathy

Word by word I was drinking
your fathomless pain,
not asking to shine
any prehistoric sin.

You are still flying straight as the crow flies
into timeless grief.   

Why we have to suffer in the hands
of tiny barbs ?
Who will outlive the wits of ancient insects ?
The jungle is spreading far and wide.   

With infinite patience
I have been watching the world go by
carrying the pulp of intelligence.

This knocks me down,
the betrayal of blue sky.
A black hole is widening
in the sniffling cosmos,
flooding the desires of flesh.

On dust I sit frightened.
Where are we heading ?   


SATISH VERMA

Deaf and Dumb

Are you sleeping with hate ?
I wanted to know, does it have a meaning ?
For we human beings, any equals in plants and animals ?

There was this audacious betrayal of a brute force
to behead a beautiful lass,a scion of fine race.
The baby king was still sleeping in his tomb.

Tut, we were talking of a Kamikaze attack on
Tutenkhamun. Living in piece meals, walking
Alongside the wall only, fear writ large on the face

the moon birth had gone waste. Eye donors were
waiting for the vision in darkness of violence,
the hostages were thrown out limb by limb,

the crazy world going berserk. Somebody
was carring flowers on the beach. My words
were losing the edge. I was dreaming of only bleeders.
