Nitya Swaruba Poems

When I lie awake for long
I think of a long gone song
Of stories that got made
In times I was reborn
...

Beauty presents in a million ways
Each time something different it says
Makes me hope, makes me pray
Whatever it is that it stays
...

Live and die is what you were made for
Eat and sleep was the only law
Then you chose to seek
For treasures you could keep
...

Soul-searching
On a barren land
Spirits buckled
I was jaded
...

There are stuff here that are
Too good to be near not far
Every breath I take I realize
That heaven is not just my mind's art
...

What's this madness, badness you are in
You've given way for sadness to creep in
You ask, what's the worst that could happen?
You'll exist, you'll survive
...

A thousand things in a day
Words I don't want to hear
All my peeves put at bay
Bothering me, my brain's seared
...

I hate it, this change
I can't rate it, it's beyond range
I didn't see it coming—drat!
It's driving me crazy—rats!
...

Zenith is where life's at
Yearning claims its place
X-rays through the heart
Wisdom shows its face
...

Morning times are exquisite
Dawn breaks, the sky's lit
Spirits fly high, moods lift
When I sit to do my thinking bit
...
