Putty

“Even the most
beautiful
of the stars
are taken
for granted
night after
night.”

My heart is 

broken,

smashed,

squelched

countless

times

broken,

shattered,

splintered 

in million pieces

it has suffered enough

no amount of assurance 

and a lesson in life 

can keep it 

from 

shredding,

tearing,

breaking

How do you survive?

you ask,

I use 

my giggles,

laugh,

and those 

occasional guffaws 

to keep it together

filling in the cracks,

those fault lines

seeping in the holes

to join,

hold,

bind

together

from tearing it apart

I use them as putty 

and prevent my 

heart from falling

apart.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

      3. Honest 🙂 I was glad to have the chance to catch up and happy that I visited your page because two of your pieces were not on my reader earlier.

      5. Yes, I’ve complained twice but no response. It seems your comments on my posts still go into the spam folder. I don’t understand it but oh well.

      7. That is so frustrating. I hope they get it fixed soon, too. In the meantime, I will always check my spam.
