A Drop Of Tear By -Anupama Handoo A drop of tear is not unhappy in my eyes, What brings it out of the unfathomable depths? Trust....... Trust on the cheek that lets it sway, Trust on the finger that brushes it away, Trust on the lips that kiss its path, Trust that the pain will be washed away...... Broken Glass By -Anupama Handoo When you touched my heart the very first day; When you felt my heartbeat with yours...... That was the time when I saw myself in the mirror of fairies no one was as pretty as me The happiness of being yours was the happiness of being The youth, the madness of youth was mine for keeps......... When you touched my heart to bruise it the next day; When you tore apart my love.......... That was the time I broke my mirror I saw myself in the black lake of pain no one was as lonely as I Sadness was the eerie sadness of existence and the broken glass was mine like my fate........

Big By -Shubhra Krishan At breakfast we fight He pushes his chair away leaving the cornflakes to sulk on the table I abandon my muffin too Out on the road to work There’s a major jam at the first traffic light two cars have crashed they’re trying to fix the blame At first, I fret. Then, through the windscreen and through the misty windows of my eyes I notice the mountains I’m suddenly tuned to their silence clearer than Whitney Houston in my car Their big, U-shaped bodies are so close I can run my fingers across their shoulders bury my head inside their hollow womb then I think of the ocean with its heavy, still waters And the sky with its blanket of quiet air as the traffic light turns green I’m thinking of me This marvel nature made with all of these ocean and earth and sky then why am I so small, so small?
