Krishna Kumar

DEPTH

Listen to Audio Version.

I’m a river

Silvery moon slivered
Into liquid flow

Bosomed by the naked arms
Of the banks

I show my fruits
To your teeth

Tempting you
To strip and swim.

But keep afloat:

Dare not
Dip deep

Silt of sins Heaped in the
depth

It’ll blind your light
And lure you sin

You’ll emerge tainted
And return my embraces
No more.

Krishna Kumar is a budding poet who has published his poems in Jeevan and Vision through Words. He's proud to have become blind as it inspired him to write poetry. He says that world has robbed of his sight, but poetry has replaced it with vision. He hopes to poetize more in coming days.
