Bhavika Sicka Poems

Amidst the topaz seamless skies,
The lofty mountains and intricate vales
Of Afghanistan, has novelist Khalid Hosseini
Set this powerful and poignant tale.
...

Your arms around me felt so strong,
They made me feel secure.
Each loving word you said to me,
Was meaningful and pure.
...

The windy gale blew through the trees
Which grew around the grey brick walls
That rose up high to meet the sky
As did the tower tall.
...

Silence - Speaks volumes,
Descending heavy around me,
Consuming me, devouring me,
I am the object of everyone's mirth.
...

Death is not what hath brought me here,
To thy Heavenly Gate.
I may have once been very dear,
But that was just my fate.
...

A shade of pastel green stretched on,
Below the azure horizon,
As I stopped to ponder,
And take a more leisurely look,
...

Life is like a river, it flows on,
Halting at precious moments, it goes on.
Meandering from beginning to end,
And here and there you see a bend.
...

Enveloped in darkness, I often wonder,
What is the use of this darkness yonder,
The hollow blackness of the night?
On reflecting further it comes to me,
...

“Why, mother why
Do you tell me to see,
Something that is not
In front of me?
...
