Saswati Prusty Poems

Losses so profound
Their gravity yanks you with a sudden jolt
Once you're tired and fatigued from fighting their acceptance,
Blocking their existence.
...

For grasses thrive
Dance bright in the sunshine
Cannot compel the sun to turn towards them
Cannot part the clouds blocking the rays
...

I enter the room,
dark and murky
my breath short
steps shaking,
...

Our book is a blank canvas
We have drifted off the words we wanted to paint

A war within;
...

Dear Hope,
You slip away from my closed fist,
like the sand getting washed away from under my feet.
As I stand in the cold surf,
...
