Usha Pisharody Poems

What have I lost
I wonder...
And look inward.
...

To live upon
that distant dream,
that one day
I shall find me!
...

Mercy is an option-
unredeeming in
my attire of pain.
...

Jam them, cram them-
Fill them, completely, to the brim
But, dear parent, make sure
You don't mark them
...

My hand stretches out

Unbiddingly -
Involuntarily
...

Purity, distilled in the essence
Of a dew drop. You, my love.
...

A sepia coloured
Photograph
In that old album
Is all I can touch
...

Wheels within wheels
Lines between lines
Persons inside persons
...

When silence speaks
A thousand tongues,
My words can speak
But one.
...

Audacious smiles
laughter ringing clear-
warm hugs and
little sudden pecks on my cheeks!
...
