indira babbellapati Poems

I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...

do we have the right
to be called human
just because we know
how to conceal our nudity?
...

there's the sea
there's the sky
the moon and the wind too
a picture perfect setting
...

Woman,
Demean not your body
Given to you
For a divine purpose!
...

It has been telling me
Many a tale
Of woe and joy
In infancy
...

That which allows one
To stay put amidst chaos
That's peace
...

After dancing on the nightly lips
Dreams melt in
The unrealized passion of the night
...

When my eyes

For the first time
...

Under a sky
That never touched
The earth
...

How does one define separation?
What does one mean by separation?
Is it when breath is severed from the body?
Is it when the court of law declares 'divorced? '
