Release from Pains

Folder: 
Satish Verma

In my void one day, I placed you
on the mantle, O Buddha, give me the peace
of love. I was upset to see you sad.

One by one the pains
come. The fruits ripen and fall in winds.
There is nothing left to remember.

A happy death turns
black. You were chained with poems.
to stop the time's revenge.
