Elisha Chhabra Poems

The cab starts at the doorway
So our hearts, to sink
And we all stand there
Mom flaunting the buoyancy
...

You see how this is,
Only when I had everything
Figured out about life,
All in place
...

The day ends and he asks
'Didn't you write anything today? '
To me, that's not an inquiry
No merely a question
...

Like one of those flimsy hopes
that keep us going nowhere,
I secretly believe in coincidences,
and myths of a kind that
...

Waking out of dreams though
I drag my torso
Out to the worldly lanes
Arduously engrossed reigns
...

I still laugh so hard,
He doesn't compliment my grin.
I still talk so much,
He doesn't listen to my words.
...

With arms wrapped
around my sensitive body,
He dived
Into the ocean of my eyes,
...

Because I let you take our cat
and upcoming vacation tickets
and our favorite polaroid 300
and all our stuff, now yours,
...

The tiny boats of time
along with slow autumn
will trail around with me
fleeing to fetch
...

Everyday I wake up
A thought keeps me drowning,
What if I don't wake up the next morning?
What about the dreams,
...
