Arti Chopra Poems

I dont pray...
what will people say?
I tried to chant,
but I found I cant,
...

we are growing old together
time is passing fast
our youth was left behind ages ago
nothing does ever last
...

SPEAK CAREFULLY

A careless remark
A word, a taunt
Stays in our mind
...

Water
In its many forms
Cold
Like ice
...

Just a pen
And some words
Can transport you
To a world sublime
...

thoughts swirl around,
in my mind, like a friend,
whos always there,
sometimes calm and placid,
...

when everything seems dark
and the mind fills with despair
take heart, have faith,
because I am always there.
...

sweet memories of childhood,
came to me like a soft breeze,
memories that bought a smile to my lips,
memories that tickle and tease.
...

I dreamt I was in a garden,
a garden of breathtaking beauty
butterflies and honey bees buzzed about
as they feasted on the flowers booty.
...

how can you enslave me?
when I was born for the open blue sky?
how can you shut me in this gilded cage
where I am trapped and cannot fly?
...
