Namratha Swamy Poems

I have seen her pause
Pause often as she can
Pause for a breath
Amidst her chores
...

Don't give grief a place to rest
Fill yourself with memories of happier times
Contemplate as it walks besides you

It is not difficult to remove the external bondage.
It is difficult to tell your own the way to their home.

and there I was
ready to soar again

Bird's Nest

A little picture haunts me
again and again and again.
...

Taken aback today when my little girl said
I want to grow up and be SILENT, I screamed!

What? Speak up!
...

My child once asked me
what color is the ocean,
the mountain,
and the moon
...
