The Poetry of Kislay Chauhan


Kislay Chauhan BIO:

My poems are under the terms of emotion that are generally related to every person in their lives. All of sudden there are azimuthal travel on the carpet of deep tranquil mind and the togetherness of heart also. Most of my poems are collectively touchy and thinkable about self. As you would go through deeper in the poems, there will be much soulful touch for you through the terrain of my words and the world of the diligent feeling of love attachment to life.

  1. " Afternoon Desert "

    Tides in absorbed sunlight, dry sand desert
    Whitish glare, seeking mirror boats
    Where time is dried, moments sweat
    Music in flames, days on the roots
    Dewdrops of morning search shadow
    Where sun is more leaned, cleaned but hard
    The outsized branches, curvy eyes of leaves
    Stony feet the sharp fingers digging surface
    The labors with spades mining the place
    Small spiders with sewing tensing wounds
    Blocking airs impelling to breath high
    With black and white scenes and sky
    Turning years of hooks and scissors without rain
    Striving bones, sore throats of birds and beasts
    And then steady rocks of bronzed silence
    Little weeds the waiters of years
    And no one dares, no one hears
    Only the tails of trees bounding water
    Spongy blue ribs spread out of chest
    The boats only mirages peeping far away
    Forever a mirage alone never gets any meet
    Dazzling waves decorate them hanging mirrors
    The last storm all forgot but still the signs there
    Desert fencing borders far of the crowds
    Where only cheerful nights smile
    And afternoon songs are tired unto evenings
    When all the stars dine together
    On sand-sheet, sand with resting eyes

  1. " An Old Age "

    A mechanical heart, desolated
    Standing solemn around weaving silky water
    Water of eyes, inveterate healer
    On grass of sorrow by wind directing ways
    Lifted breath burden on the lungs
    Frightened gazes of nerves hugging heart
    Dripping sights of memory in front of legs
    The day of last heartbeat of his words
    Dissolving in fog of all directions,
    Peeping shadows of memories from cloak
    Someone almost lost the grace of life
    And somewhere pulses thunder to get out
    Rotten skin with blooming sights and spirit
    The layers of irregular breath stiffened
    Where every valley is not straight to cross
    Distinguished desires without any complaints
    Certain limping stick in hand for way
    Every step, summing up a journey
    Dull head, digging shoulders, wide glasses
    Which seems something binocular badges
    Lost quartz of teeth, shrugging expression
    Occasional smiles filling lonely times
    He just needs help to cross that road
    And lakes of sorrow and solitude
    And listening last seasonal singing of birds
    Every step with folding calm days in arms
    Preaching eyes of life need assistance of love
    An old man carrying belief of life, belief of life

  1. " Seashore Witness "

    Slowing prints, waves take a walk
    With numbed faces for one end
    Once again looping fear was formed there
    Over still eyes of snails by offshore wind
    Some striding crabs around coastline
    Tear-stains the patches by seaside
    Along wet sand I would like to retire
    Stillness of darker truth and my life
    The misty colors in straight sun strings
    Inaudible songs of seagulls and seabirds
    A misty silence, a moving street
    The drops steal my back footprints
    Two lonely rooms, my soul, my shadow
    Over and over, many times through my breath
    Thick peeling off earth’s surface under feet
    Setting up a dream-house through seashore
    A single dream, floating with every ray
    Rising different gleams, different dreams
    Over and over till end to end
    A breezing ghost, with siren sound by ears
    And in far away blue waves
    Binders of my breath—
    Many things unsolved there spread stones
    The diaphanous destinations change stations
    With every tide, with every wobble
    A dried log of life witness there from years
    Broken both sides and dubious eyes
    That was the last meeting with that log
    At that last night, when dreadful wave came
    Then all witnesses were ended forever

  1. " Face of The Nature " 
     
    Slowing prints, waves take a walk
    With numbed faces for one end
    Once again looping fear was formed there
    Over still eyes of snails by offshore wind

    Along wet sand I would like to retire
    Stillness of darker truth and my life
    The misty colors in straight sun strings
    Inaudible songs of seagulls and seabirds
    A misty silence, a moving street
    The drops steal my back footprints
    Two lonely rooms, my soul, my shadow

  1. " Heart Of Wood "

    Somewhere a box filled emotions
    Of wood, built round bit for life
    Different cherishes keeping in
    Supplying sets of dreams’ belief
    A lock of ego, anger and hate
    With key of help, kindness and love
    The sides varnished with tender
    A sort of wood flinching in fear
    Slanted, corners of silence, spiritual
    Stiffing to ground, burns in fire
    Fire of love, hurt and desires
    Wrapping cloths of seasons boiling
    Lonely narrow boxes...
    Strange boards made of wood
    Devouring colors of surfaces
    Edges broken, steeping to ground
    An old tomb, with torn boundary
    A monument lasts for a breath
    Breath that unlocks lock, loneliness
    Wooden box, clouds, rains and keys
    Sunlight heals it up, an artifact
    Parallel conditions, stars run above
    May be one day, we put it as monument
    Lonely, only memory of old swarms
    When it used to have everything
    Heart of wood, now in a museum
    Motionless, a show for strangers
    Having life, all of wood, to be painted
    Or to be burned to warm some
