Was that me?- Poem- By Mishka Gupta

  A poem about- The polarity between my childhood and current life

Was that me?

Written by- Mishka Gupta 

They say I was, small better.

But, why

Maybe because all was blithe.

At those times, I didn't even understand the meaning of life. 

People came and went. 

But I lay there in the green grass, lithe.

Earlier I used to play with blocks.

But now I want to invest in stocks. 

When I was small, I didn't care about thinking about my future.

But who knows, what I'll be one day?

Maybe an aeronautical engineer, I say.

I didn't even bother to study, when it was my age to crawl.

But now I've learnt to stand up when I fall.

I never cared about how I would look.

Until I clicked my own picture 

Dressed prim and proper with a charming smile.

I was small, cute and often I would fall.

But now I'm beautiful, talented and tall.

I adore my personality.

How I have grown, is a really crucial part of my journey.

Maybe someday, I will change again.

I'll find myself dancing in the rain.

Cherishing my life, at the moment when I saw some light.

A new hope, ambition and a new beginning would rise.

Nature's symphony

 Poem by Mishka- Nature's symphony The pearls of the garden curl up their petals, The antediluvian mixtapes endure playing. The serene smile passed on me by the little, And the lush, wet grass sprinkles few drops of water when rubbed over. Her perfect sight forced me smiling, From the rain to start showering. To soaking me and my shadow in the era of divine, Gazing for hours but don't know how time flew. I found myself dozing off on the bench on which I sat with her, When it was calm, but now I wake up mystified thinking I have hand on her but authentically on the frosty dew.

Who's she?

Who's she? I used to see that auburn wavy hair.  I used to get happy after seeing them.  I couldn't see her face but did feel her pain.   She acts as if nothing happened.  But at the end of the day, she sits at the riverbank. She cries as if a lot has happened, facing at the back. She wants nobody to notice her.    Cause if they would, all is over for her!  The people she knows are just out of their mind all time.  How can she say that cause they say, 'She's mine!' How can she say goodbye to the people who've considered her, their all the time? How can she do that? This is what she's all about, a perfect example of the ups and downs. She's happy when she sees her sister. I know she's the only one who could understand her. Both are afraid of the truth.  But they hide it as what they are doin' is what they're up to
