Chitra Bisht Poems

The darkness
suddenly grew,
Out from the horizon
That I once knew.
...

A female born after a miscarried son, wasn't a welcome sight.
For many, barring granny and dad who were filled with delight.

Reading and chatting were a way of life,
...

Living in a big joint family
Blessed with brothers and daddy
Still no affection from anybody
Woman, where art thee?
...

Wars happen when powerful people decide
For which innocents pay the price

Armed conflicts between societies
...

Magical mysteries are my favourite
Where witches fly and fairies gyrate

A prince, a dragon and a damsel in distress
...

Submissive life
Control of mind
Was barely alive
...

Real pain
Is not professed by tears
Or by writhing in agony
No temper tantrums
...

I Have Known You Forever
As long as I can remember

From a toddler taking baby steps
...

I am in the mood to dissolve the sky
Melt the mountains, make rivers fly

Change the directions of sun and moon
...

Caring and loving all qualities they possess
In return, last to receive, last to access

They are best coz they are ever giving
...
