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?
...

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

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

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

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

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

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