Reflections: Poems of Kailash Varma

I have created this space to put my husband, Kailash Varma's, poems, in order to immortalize him. I always felt he was a great and a good poet and that is why I feel the need to put his poems here so that more people may be able to read him. For him poetry remained at best a hobby, a passionate one, but it never became his focus in life. But I still feel he had the gift for I have always believed "if poetry come not as naturally as the leaves to a tree it were better it come not at all."

Remember

we would sit by the hour

discussing sweet nothings

or simply contemplate

the drippings of the candle

or shared the intensity

of silence hiding feelings

we feared to articulate,

not realizing

that it was a beginning

that died within the beginning.

(This is an unpublished poem)

The depth of the thought and the intensity of the emotion is really very beautiful!
