Tribhuvan Mendiratta Poems

smile behind a smile
is like a butterfly
dancing around roses
not in the least minding its thorns..........
...

Life is an unconvincing metaphor
Used against me with simile
Left begging for more.
But just the silent spaces,
...

Let me cup my palms
to gather the petals
of your laughter
that my palms flow ever
...

I smelt a rose… rose smelt Me - I don't know
My Parents said Roses have thorns
I thanked God Thorns have roses
Wow! What a bouquet!
...

Skin so smooth - nearly translucent.
I wonder if she's really there,
Or will dissolve at the slightest touch.
I never risk it. I must make sure.
...

It's little things that only I love
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
...

How will it be...to see you once,
Till today I have not got the chance
What the expressions will be,
When eye looks into eye?
...

This look in the eyes
of a self-contained heart
May haunt the hearts
Don’t let it loose
...

I want to see you happy in life.
I don’t care you are Not with me.
Just your love keeps me warm
Makes me happy on my sad days.
...

WE miss the one we don’t have
So I rejoice by myself and sing myself,
Thinking what I assume you shall assume,
Your belonging to me as I belong to you.
...
