Ashika Murali Acharya Poems

I fell by my tree mangled by an autumn's huff,   
I had sailed through those early mighty storms
But weathered away in some days pouring rain,
As I could no longer be so strong,
...

Half of my life, I lived in my head,
In shades of grey, white and red,
Talked all to myself, all day, every day,
Fiddling in the mutiny of rights and wrongs,
...

I was always, just a breath away,
But would you ever hear my silent songs,
Sung for you loud in my heart?
...

When we are born, we are bound to decay,
Decay in the valley of time,
Often we forget this sour truth,
So mean, yet straight and strange at times,
...

There sure would be a perfect reason,
For life to change in every season,
Slowly the gritty backdrop of my theater changed,
The actors continued on their stage.
...

Reaching out for an unknown star,
Unsure of those destined paths,
Stretching the wings with all our might,
Soaring away from the nest so warm,
...

What is poetry?
Sometime I ponder…
Is it a quest?
Or a reason?
...

Fly high my little girl,
Time is now to soar and try,
We couldstitch a wing or two,
Show you distant moon and stars,
...

I walked in dim light,
In an endless tunnel,
In a meaningless time
Heart packed in grief,
...

I met him when I was two,
He told me that he was too.

We merried around with our hush and rush,
...
