Sumitra Mishra (nee Balakrishnan) Poems

Feather-light, dust of time's decay,
In memories' grip, we find our way,
Beneath the starlist-laden sky,
Waves of longing in my mind's eye.
...

Pixie dust
Passion's prey
Teenage fiction
High school odyssey
...

In the still of night, I find myself in query,
Is this urban ‘abode' indeed, or just a ghostly theory?
Where do the echoes of familiar sounds now dwell?
Gossip, giggles, and huddling stories we used to tell.

The Best Poem Of Sumitra Mishra (nee Balakrishnan)

Too Much, Too Fast

Feather-light, dust of time's decay,
In memories' grip, we find our way,
Beneath the starlist-laden sky,
Waves of longing in my mind's eye.

Heady, intoxicating, these recollections,
A solitary figure in life's intersections,
Lost within the fields of golden rye,
Where nostalgia and solitude intertwine.

Each feather, a whisper of days long past,
In the dust, their stories forever cast,
Glimmering stars above, a cosmic sea,
Yet in my head, these waves will be.

Alone, I stand, 'midst the amber sea,
In the rye of memories, just me,
A critical heart, aching to know,
Where did those fleeting moments go?
