“Even the most
beautiful
of the stars
are taken
for granted
night after
night.”
― Veronika Jensen
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.
–Megha

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.
