Gems





GO AWAY

Unlived death, that was me waking in exile from the bones. He said I remember your verse a split open bloom!

Unlived death, that was me

waking in exile from the bones.

He said I remember your verse

a split open bloom!

Given away your gems to sea

ready to become ash, green blood,

you have killed a white cloud

now go for a floral burial.

He said I remained unpacked

like an open wound.

How far space will hang on the shoulders,

how far the sky will remain blue?

Snow will not melt I presume

I will burn my shirt with stain.

Life will not stop but conceive

the proud burning pain.

I stand today without complaints

grieve for my silence, ignorance.

There was a home I could not save

miles from water like bright dome.

Satish Verma is ferociously original. You feel resentment, outrage and violence, cannot pin it down but wonderfully spin your brain. Satish has the greatest sensibility which sweetly exploits the delicacies of human conflicts. You are taken aback. This is magic, profoundly soulful. In a lone, long journey Satish Verma is still discovering himself. Beaten, betrayed, felled, he comes back with fierce velocity. His childhood was traumatized by India’s partition. Terror, violence and death were witnessed which built the morals of poet. Becoming defiantly recluse Satish Verma pursued his value based life on the path of truth. Teaching Botany for 35 years he was writing poetry, privately and solemnly and published twelve collections. Worked silently with social causes. His scions, doctors and engineers are living in USA. He chose to live back in his beloved country and resides in Ajmer (INDIA) with his spouse Kanta running the Charitable Holistic Institute of SEWA MANDIR FOUNDATION.
