Parisha Shukla Poems

It's a long night,
Quiet too.
A night that attacks me with its cold breeze,
Much like how it feels hearing the burning flames of people in daylight.
...

Days passed.
Just like the months did…
and the years… will.
...

Can I be a poem without being the poet—
watching you read me
on a bus ride home
and never say my name, ever?
...

Oh my Twilight,
How much do I have to change?
From completing the cycle of care,
To pretending I don't care at all—
...

He never knew the storms he calmed,
With just a glance, a laugh, a smile.
He never knew how deep I sank,
Until his light reached me, quiet, and kind.
...

Every night, every day,
Walking through the world—so low and high,
Not the one meant as uncertainty of road,
But what if it was uncertainty of thoughts?
...

I grew—
And somewhere, in another universe,
my younger self would've never imagined.
...

Once on a beautiful day,
standing in my beautiful dress,
wondering—
"Why this world cannot be good for all? "
...

I wait for you every day—
from the first breeze of morning
till the last yawn of my night.
Do I matter to you the same?
...

Today's moon was beautiful—
Shining all the way,
It reminded me—
How this world would've been beautiful without you!
...

Hey,
You remember?
'Home of Heart', the piece I dropped—
The next part is yet to come-I promised
...

I have a question—
I have a theory—
A concept that eventually made me believe..
EYES NEVER LIE.
...

Every now and then I wonder,
Is this world ever connected?
With all those parallels, it makes me amazed—
Are those meant to be forgiven in this way?
...

I remember the day we last talked—
One was at my home, the other at the coach.
Never knew you both had really moved
To a place I could never know.
...

When I first saw you, it just felt like usual.
Over the days—studying, growing—
I felt an imaginary warmth in your eyes.
...

Once a day, thoughts of QUITTING,
It was ages before or is it just me who aged?
Hearing whispers—
'Oh girl! Don't overthink, you're just a child.'
...

Ages, years, days, months…
All night, all day…
Why does this world seem lost in greys?
I wonder if this is too much to be real
...

Have you ever wondered?
How tired a person can be—
Not physically, not even mentally
but—
...

Isn't it strange?
How the world pretends, all the way—
Everyone's childhood, dreamy, tender, full of love.
But somewhere, somehow, we changed?
...

Every day —
I pass a hundred faces,
With eyes that flicker with stories
I'll never get to hear.
...

Parisha Shukla Biography

Hi, I'm Parisha Shukla, a teen poetess from Mumbai-India, and writing has been my way of understanding myself and the world around me. My journey with poetry began in a deeply personal way—because of someone who left a lasting impact on my life.How strange it is? That person barely be knowing about this and along ths way I started putting my emotions into words when speaking them felt impossible, and that's how I discovered my love for writing. Since then, poetry has become my voice, my solace, and my way of expressing what I feel in ways that words alone sometimes cannot capture. My poems often reflect my inner world—the joys, sorrows, hopes, and struggles of growing up. Pieces like; Stranger, The flower that stayed, feeling neglected, stars never shine without their soul; are inspired by my experiences, my observations of life, and the emotions I feel deeply. I write to understand myself, to connect with others, and sometimes simply to make sense of the world. My poetries has been been to various collections and i am proud to say that i am currently working on my novel as well. In person, I'm reflective, curious, and imaginative. Somehow, i might be boring as well, considered by my people around hah! Well, I just try to draw inspiration from everything around me—relationships, nature, human emotions, and even my love for science and astronomy. I like to explore life both through creativity and knowledge, and that curiosity often finds its way into my poems. Many of my works are published on PoemHunter and HelloPoetry, and I'm grateful that people connect with my words. Writing, for me, is not just art—it's a way to feel, to heal, and to inspire others to express themselves too. Through my poetry, I hope to share my journey, my thoughts, and my emotions, and to leave a small imprint on the hearts of those who read my words. Even at a young age, I believe words have the power to reach far and touch deeply—and that's the magic I chase with every poem I write.)

The Best Poem Of Parisha Shukla

It's A Promise.... Right?

It's a long night,
Quiet too.
A night that attacks me with its cold breeze,
Much like how it feels hearing the burning flames of people in daylight.

You wanna come over?


To walk with me,
Under the blanket of moonlight—
Promise, it won't be as quiet as us recalling our flaws under the bedsheet of sunshine.

To sprint with me,
Through every corner of these restless yet sleepy city streets—
Promise, it won't be as tiring as rushing to catch the bus in the mornings.

To sit beside me,
Having drinks at the luminous beach, quietly and alone—
Promise, it won't be as awkward as sitting with a boss, hoping for a promotion.

To laugh with me,
At the most lame jokes ever—
Promise, it won't be as sad as laughing with your group while being its unofficial member.

To go to every possible place with me,
That drives us beyond our dreams and imagination—
Promise, we can go!

Wasn't it supposed to be the one?

You look lonely.
And…
I can fix that.

Being the one who enjoys every moment of beauty—
In the night that makes people fall asleep,
While you remain into one of the sleepless ones.

Who says being 'the one' means being your soulmate, your only place?
If that were the need, you wouldn't feel this way.

Under this beauty,
Under its majesty,
I wonder—

Who would be so heartless to keep their heart at rest?

Anyways,

I—or someone you love—
Will be waiting in your dreams,
In those streets,
At the beach with a glass of champagne to cheer.

You'll come over…

Promise?
