Poem 22 She has pair of beautiful wings.... To fly... A cage that holds her.... An envelope of dreams She has a vision A sense of freedom... She offers a tenderness despite being enclosed.... She's an angel.... But for others her wings... Like paper planes.... She will close the fears And vulnerability that Cage offers.... One day she will elope Leaving the softeness behind

Poem 21 Goodbye... What I desire... Eventually leaving behind The sadness, emptiness And hollowness That the heart possess Yet failing... In the subconscious mind of mine Right and wrong seems A traumatic chaos Turning human into inhumane...

Poem 10 In the dark and gloomy sky... You were the single limelight; Just like the moon shinning brightly Among the unworthy stars... In the hopless path... I have seen myself Getting found in ur eyes... Just like the beautiful picture As fascinating as blue sky... In torn and rugged pages of book... I have seen my love Growing deep in you... With unsaid words And unending emotions... In the flawless and pure soul Like yours... I have seen myself in your skin Appreciating every treacherous sin... In the world Where cold heartless beast lies... I have seen you growing into An innocent flower that I admire afar... I have seen myself falling hard for you.... With eternal pain penetrating my mind... Still I feel you are An unending and everlasting calm ocean... While I see myself as a simple creature Waiting for you near the shore...

Poem 2 Though I know Deep down in my heart That I don't deserve you, Yet you are here So determined and confident; I know how broken My mind and soul is, Yet you are here Fixing the shattered pieces, Creating aesthetic illustrations; However, my heart and my spirit Still urge for you, Despite knowing How undeserving I am; I'm like a hurricane So disastrous and fatal, Yet you have the courage To turn me into a Beautiful tragedy of your illustration, Despite me knowing How undeserving I am...

Poem 1 19th January 1990 ...My pain is still there... 30 years...3 decades...2 generations... Passed... A painful exile, A pain which makes me sad; Trembling in fear! Faraway from home, My pain is still there... Neither understood by many Nor explained any further, An exile which has been lasting forever; My home, being missed In last 30 years of banishment; Whether through tears or smile, The ache is still there... Brutality seen and felt, Brotherhood lost and found, Dear ones lost in the murderous form! My pain is still there... Neither subsiding nor vanishing, Hard realities make me wonder Who is to be blamed; Neither do we blame Nor do we say; Just expressing us Through silent tears... Mourning for our rights... Grieving for loved ones... My pain is still there... Either it's from betrayal Or the punishment to ones Without any religion; Just once, wishing to cherish ourselves In the valley where the paradise lies; Just once, wishing to return home With no questionable reflection; Just once, wishing 30 years Was just a bad dream; Just once, wishing everything Was an illusion; But the sting is still there... The ache is never-ending... Always reminding me of The harsh world in which... I live now... The paradise has been lost Yet not found! -Sanjana Shukla, New Delhi
