SEEMA SHARMA Poems

Today all I attend are the vacuous vows and fictions,
It leaves behind just a fractured heart and a wrecked life,
Today faith is gone and conviction is lost,
What am I fighting for and who will really pay the cost.
...

No choice, no word to say
Permanence is always being kept at bay
Every other day things come to a stop
Battle starts again on who is at fault
...

Softly, in the dusk, he sings to me;
making me walk down to the years passed by, till I see
A known face sitting there in the dark, in the boom of the flowing strings
And touching the feet of the figure who sits nearby.
...

Through your lens the cypress family swallowed me
like a nymph of the woods.
The camera flashed & dismissed from the mind.
I, on the other hand, must practice my absent-
...

Will you not celebrate with me
what i have contoured into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
...

My agony and hardships fall from the heavens
So hard I try to disregard it, but it still gets by.
Surrounded with reminiscence of what could have been,
The detestation screams under my skin.
...

If you don't know the kind of person I am
and I don't know the kind of person you are
a design that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.
...

Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
...

We were made to accept it would be horrific
Every small fancy, every niggling urge,
Every hate inflated to a kind of legendary wind.
...

Brimming with her own chalky words,
She is a scholar of bizzare behaviors,
It’s no revelation to find her crawling,
She now breaks the ice between us,
...
