Arti Chopra Poems

those who kill in the name of honour
what honour are they talking about?
who are you to take so precious a life
who are you to bring justice about
...

this too shall pass,
don't ever despair,
but yes if it helps,
let your pen lay your feelings bare,
...

Do we ever really realise
how very lucky we are?
Living lives of comfort
Removed from poverty by far.
...

A smile that reached your eyes
A smile that told no lies
When our time together was gone
It was your smile that lingered on
...

just to let you know
really missed you so,
no computer chats,
no lively spats,
...

look in the mirror...dear driend
do you like what you see see?
are you true to yourself?
is this what you want to be,
...

an ocean of calm within my heart,
vast, unending, like the blue sea
I close my eyes and savour the peace,
for I have found the golden fleece.
...

nothing is mine, yours or ours,
all belongs to HIM
HE bought us into this world
HE will take us at his whim
...

Yesterday....

Has gone...
...

Do not step over my feelings
As if they were a silken carpet
That you want to feel
Beneath your cruel feet
...
