Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Surrounded by mountains
Clouds hiding their peaks
I feel so much at home
ThIs floral valley, heart. seeks
...

Winter mornings
Misty dawns
Shivering sunshine
Dew drops on lawns
...

Today I dance
The dance of seven veils
One over other
In layers they are draped
...

I felt it today
The detachment
from attachment
The connection
...

And the neighbours just stood by
Watching me being dragged as I cried
Now not a single spineless soul
Comes forward to say
...

Space travellers
All night revellers
CEOs to
Nobel prize winners
...

Your imprints
On my body
On my soul
Will remain
...

These tangled yarns
Of human relations
A neat ball of wool
Changes into fuzzy creation
...

let us go ahead
and compete
for the mood is
so upbeat
...

A sick society gives rise to sick people
or vice versa, I still wonder
One woman is a home maker
While other is a home breaker
...

This year that I turned forty 3
I think I feel now much more free
The threshold of forty was just so great
enriching my life, to so much
...

At this stage
my chronological age
is not a road block.
But just a pebble
...

Sparkle
Of my
Smile
Teardrops
...

This distance
That lies
Between you
And my smiles
...

As a young fledgling
I was always itching
To take off and fly
In the endless sky
...

When things
Go bad
And I go
Slipping down
...

Too many muted cries
shut out behind
those thick doors.
Too many spirits broken
...

Like tress that have
grown apart
although together
they were
...

Soul mates
Soul mates
They Do exist
You are mine
...

My old cotton coat
Many wrinkles
To explore
Many rents
...
