Arti Chopra Poems

Its yet to be morn
and I am nudged awake
by the hum of your apnea machine,
Its too early to rise
...

I dreamt that I was different
poised, proud, and fair
that you had your arm around me
and took me here and there
...

here in Turkey, I made such cute friends
but this one is more cuter
yes, my net friends
you guessed so right,
...

Its a white fairyland
that brings back memories of long ago,
its a white fairyland, silent and magical,
a land of pure white unblemished snow
...

two days,
since you are gone
I toss and turn,
my thoughts churn,
...

she sat by the window.
looking out on to the land
fingers busy knitting
knitting slowly, with knotted hand
...

speak softly my dear, my love,
say no more, not one word, more,
I can read your inner feelings my love
I can feel your inner core.....
...

its a selfish world out there,
filled with people who don, t really care,
selfishness and selfcenteredness is the order of the day,
care fully we have to map out, our way,
...

Its that time of the season again,
nature is wearing a frown,
the wind has a creeping chill in it,
and the leaves turn green to golden brown.
...

lit an earthernware lamp,
a lamp of light and hope,
I said a prayer, to my beloved Lord
to give me strength to cope.
...
