Vani Agarwal Poems

I always wanted someone bugging me while I read,
I always wanted someone who would push me off my bed.

I always wanted someone whose way I would lead,
...

I have never seen,
The world in a beautiful scene,
As it changes constantly,
I feel as if the world is lying to me about who I am,
...

Eyes of amber she had,
Gave love to a careless lad.
Dreamt in day and woke at night,
Was dying had no foresight.
...

Tt's easy to let go,
loosen your grip over things,
it's easy to finally forget,
and completely detach the strings.
...

His eye. A black scar on the flag of peace,
like the dark spots on the silken fleece.
I hid behind the bench as his bullets killed all the pain,
and for a moment our eyes met, like a walk down a deadly lane.
...

She silently washed a single plate,
she didn't know what time it was, let alone the date.
She finished her chores and fixed her hair,
for sometimes material pleasures helped fighting internal despair.
...

What hurts the most is never pain,
for it always makes you numb.
What hurts the most is never failure,
for it teaches you to succumb.
...

When she looked at herself in the mirror, she saw a pimple,
but not the beautiful eyes and the cheek with the shiny dimple.
When we saw a Zebra, we wondered Black Or White,
but ignore the lovely patterns and marvels in site.
...

Dear Happiness,
They say you're everywhere, but I've looked all around,
they say you're inside me, but have to be found.
You say it will be okay and this too would pass,
...
