Siddharth Mehta Poems

Wide-eyed in wonder,
Ella beholds the world.
'How old are you? '
her grandfather asks.
...

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...

Life is crazy
And totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over,
Kick you while you're down,
...

I want to tell you
about the sunflower I found
on the sidewalk yesterday.
It is wilting and curled and gorgeous
...

Underneath our feet we find
Those branches and thorns a grind.
Why is so life so mean
It is as if no other scene.
...

I'm telling the wrong lies,
they are not even useful.

The right lies would at least
...

Life is something we all share,
Just like oxygen in the air.
The way we live it, is up to us,
With a negative or with a plus.
...
