Time Has Stopped As Poem by Arvind Srivastava

Time has stopped and
The leaves have turned yellow
The festive news has turned its face
The continuous events
A soft, tender poem has been
attacked murderously
Time has stopped and
The rose petals are eager to bloom
A cub wants to jump
Just now

Time has stopped as
Some painter has embedded
A girl in a frame
As if a dog has fallen asleep
Near a borsi

Time has stopped as
The fingers have got tired on the typewriter
And the questions are lying as they are
Waiting for a messenger
