Jayshree Misra Tripathi Poems
I cannot do what I wish today-
Close my eyes, inhale and exhale,
And listen to the rustle of the leaves
Sway in the light breeze, in prelude to winter;
...
From a Ladies Coupe: Sambalpur Junction* to New Delhi
* Jharsuguda
The station master waved the green flag,
...
Growing older over sixty,
I yearn to relive
Snapshot Moments
Of Youth Unbound…..
...
And now, as the night hawk sounds our signal to begin,
I breathe in the dusk from the comfort of the easy chair
...
We travelled out of Keren
on the road towards the hills
where many brave soldiers lie,
some as young as sixteen.
...

The Best Poem Of Jayshree Misra Tripathi
Defined Space
I cannot do what I wish today-
Close my eyes, inhale and exhale,
And listen to the rustle of the leaves
Sway in the light breeze, in prelude to winter;
No, I cannot do what I wish today-
Meditate in the hills beyond mountain trails
And spot sunlight flickers on soft blue lakes;
I still cannot do what I wish today-
Retreat into a corner wicker chair, chai in hand, curl up my feet-
Hush now, the temple bells do not yet toll for me,
I wander on each day and wish I had-
Defined space to call my own.
