Bharati Nayak Poems

I speak not
As I feel
Speaking is not essential
Silence speaks for itself
...

I was born to a home
Where every body calls it Mr.X's home
I was married to a Home
Where everybody calls it Mr.Y's home
...

What and how
Can I define
And give a meaning
When I look
...

My life sails
Pass by, the days, months and years
Who keeps their records?
...

Dear
I love you
But ÝOU' are not you
YOU'' are that beauty
...

Oh Mother
I am
That daughter of yours
Who you see
...

Perchance I happened to meet
One editor of a newspaper big
In conversation I told him
About my interest in writing
...

Though winged
I am caged
I flutter my wings
As if to fly
...

9.

Where was I?
I rose from null
And one day
Vanish into void
...

They rise in me
Like large waves
Overpowering me
I surrender to them
...

Ah! It is not rainy season
From where fell
The rain drops!
It is thirsty Summer
...

Oh Tree
Don't cry
As you are alone
In this concrete jungle
...

The days were waiting for you to come
Flowers were waiting to blossom
The breeze was waiting to caress the lovely branch
The roads were waiting for your feet to touch
...

Why does my spirit make a nose dive
Why should someone try to degrade me
I have every right to make myself happy
Engrossed in my writing world of creativity
...

When too many negative thoughts cloud my mind
When darkness seems to torture and torment
When I can not see a road ahead
When heart becomes gloomy with unbearable pains
...

16.

Sitting on clouds,
Floats my dream.
Blown by winds,
From place to place,
...

I am put on the table
In the corner of your room
I smile my flowers
In different colors.
...

Sea, Sky and Fire
...

Me, the earth
You see my beautiful face
The beautiful sky and greeneries
Lovely flowers and sweet chirping birds
...

Inspired by poem of Daniel Brick'—‘'Du Fu Visits Anne Yun''

Your visit to Anne Yun
So special
...

The Best Poem Of Bharati Nayak

I Speak Not #153 In Top 500 Poems On 15th July 2021

I speak not
As I feel
Speaking is not essential
Silence speaks for itself
Even eyes speak
Speak thousand words my quivering lips
Unsaid words travel million miles
Sun speaks
Moon speaks
Speaks the thunderstorm
When hearts meet
Mouth says no words
Only the closeness knows
How louder is the heart
When it beats
Beating the loudness of sea-roars.

If it were upto me to describe Bharti, I would call her a singer and not a poet.. Her poems show a magestic sense of simplicity and can be sung. For the past many months since I have been here, I have had the good fortune to read her poems and have always felt a beautiful sensation, a kind of an aesthetic pleasure that one would derive only from those works of pure art that are sublime... In short, sweet, splendid, and sublime - these are the adjectives that best suit Bharti Nayak's poetry.. If you read her poems once, you shall be back for more.

In Italian: Bharati è una bella Signora e Poetessa di squisita sensibilità, che padroneggia l'arte della poesia con le sue sapienti capacità, così da formulare splendidamente, attraverso la parola, le sue raffinate emozioni. In English: Bharati is a fair Lady and Poetess of exquisite sensibility, who commands the art of Poetry through her skilful ability, so as to express beautifully, through the Word, her refined emotions. _____________________________________________ Next Anthology, dear Bharati, will be a surprise to many..! ;) Cheers Fabrizio

Bharati Nayak is one of my favorite poets. She speaks in her poems from within her heart. Pure poems come from heart, not from head.

Bharati Nayak Quotes

Poems are writ in heart without words- - we try to express them in words through poetry- -But can we ever really find the right words for the poetry in heart?

I am a piece of pebble Very ordinary Lying on the road side You passerby Perhaps Took a fancy Picked me up Perhaps You found Some color and beauty And so Took me With you Beauty lies In your eyes I am just a pebble Very ordinary Oh passerby! !

Love in its purest form is divinity and divinity in its earthly form is love.

Being opinionated is like a closed room where no free light or refreshing wind can enter.

The secret of happiness is lying within you and you have to decode it.

Poet's magic-when words are not there To describe the water or fire Poets magic weave one Fill the void And create such beauty divine.
