You , take it easy
Neha Srivastava Aug 2017
You ,Go easy on yourself for a while
Take a deep breath and come out of your self imposed exile,

Don't hesitate to uncover the curtain
Meet the sight of butterflies dancing in your garden,

Erase the boundaries that have been drawn on your canvas
Start afresh
Paint with a free flowing brush,

Remember once in a life time 'You' happen
Don't let 'Your Life' get trapped in,

Discover yourself uncover yourself
Even if someone disapproves of your 'Real self',

Choose to bend only till the time you don't break
Hold your head high and turn away before your heart aches,

Please walk away from what is perturbing
Away from the chaos and people who are disturbing,

While you walk away don't hold the grudges so fiercely
Don't let the negativity damage you severely,

Coz you aren't bitter
You are an ocean of nectar,

This is your poetry fit in your own words
Be your own Muse , Rhyme your own prose!!!!

Depression
Neha Srivastava Aug 2017
Dear Mr. Depression
I have realized I am your Obsession,

You have made me a partner of your loneliness
Why are you guiding me to darkness,

Swayed away by your hypnotism
I make my way towards negativism,

I have lost interest in everything but you
People around are having no clue,

Are you my friend or my foe?
Coz you make my head blow,

I cannot deal with my blood boiling anger
Teary eyes I look out for an answer,

My days are so lonely my nights are so long
I now have a fear of the breaking dawn,

I feel so weak and numb
All I could do is to keep mum,

I am not getting killed , I am being suffocated
My inner peace is long awaited,

You make me so tired to fight
I beg you , This isn't right,

Shackles in my feet I can barely move
My Mind is in your trap but My heart disapproves,

The love in my heart is meant to overpower
You are unaware of the strength of my will power,

Slowly and steadily I change my direction
Your world was nothing but a deception,

I not only want to live I want to feel alive
Your foul intentions cannot keep me deprived,

Far away I see a light
Hope is standing on that side,

I promise not to look back while I start my Journey
Your pleas to keep me along are not worthy,

I might be late
But I'll make sure I reach that gate!!!

I am a Woman
Neha Srivastava Aug 2017
I am a woman , I should be timid - They say
I am a human , I know no limit  - I say,

My existence is not meant for your judgment
Crushing me is not a sign of your triumphant,

My love for you has always been abundant
Why am I the one to make all the adjustments,

Look into my eyes , you'll see a twinkle
Savaging it , is so sinful,

My demand for freedom makes you reluctant
Clothed in societal norms , I have to bear its repercussion,

How are the governing laws so different for Both
What makes you so nervous of my growth,

Why do I have to fight for what is my right
Why do you enjoy my plight,


Being submissive is declared my attire
No one hears what my heart desires,

I am not the one to dance on your note
I am a volcano that erupts on my own,

I don't demand anything extraordinary
All I seek is equality,

Equality to Breathe without fear
Equality to be safe my dear!!!!!
A tribute to Equality of a woman

My Shadow
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
It was a bright sunny noon
In the month of June..
When I was walking hopelessly all alone.
My pace was slow..
I was feeling so low..
Hue and cry in my mind..
I hear a footstep closely behind..
As I turned back..
All I could see was pitch black..
Ohh, I felt a strange connection..
You were no one but my distorted reflection.
You knew all my woes..
You were all along the flow- You were my 'SHADOW'.
Tears filled my eyes..
As I hear u promise..
"Even when the sun will go down
And there will be darkness all around..
But my love, dont make your heart pound..
I'll embrace you with all my might..
You just have to hold me tight..
For all such times when u'll think I am gone..
Remember, you'll find me within you
And Together we shall be 'ONE'

Love
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
Love O Love...
U Pour Pure Blood...
You had my soul with the innocent glitter...
Ahh..you slaughtered it with no jitter???
Wounded & Bruised I get into my last slumber.
As I fall freely...
I forgive you my love willingly...
Love O Love..
U Pour Pure Blood...

Promise
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
I am an emotional fool I say ,
yes ..so is my heart that feels the promise made wid every beat ..
and so are my eyes that lives that promise with every blink..

Promises are made to be broken they say..
Try not to ...as you are also breaking my tender heart full of hopes..

My heart is shattered ..it says nothing now..
just beating for u...
My eyes are closed. Says nothing now..
just full of tears rolling down for u..

My Mind is so clever that laughs and says
'Told u .. not to destroy urself just for a promise made'...

Inspiration
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
When hope fades, despair flutters..
Resilience breaks, mind clutters..
On the verge of breaking down..
Oh I see you like a gleam of light all around..
You sprinkle life..
I am revived..
The Darkness settles as the dawn breaks..
With moist eyes I could see you leave..
But I promise there's no grief..
As my Inner self retains your Aura of mystery...

You
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
You
Your intimidating eyes
Encapsulates the skies
Of Thunder and Hailstorm
Yet you are so warm
Your hair leaning down
When no ones around
Carelessly kissing your forehead
As if something has been left unsaid
Ohh Look at your mole on the Right side of your shoulder
As if beholding a story so older
That birth mark on your left arm
Is nothing but a charm
Mole , Love , intimidating , Mole

My Flight
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
Bit by bit I build my sky
My wings are ready to fly high
High above the land of wrath and agony
Rising above the valleys of self atrophy
Far away from the cacophony deception
Where no one could judge my reflection
As I reach the realm of rainbows
Clouds pour nothing but love
The wind sings nothing but love
My soul soaks in love
Mesmerized by this divinity,
I meet my destiny

Dawn
Neha Srivastava Jul 2017
As the dawn breaks over the horizon,
With the changing shades,I witness the sky being a Chameleon...
The spectrum of light
Widens the sight..
As it gets bright,
A smile flutters on my lips,with the hope of something new.
But a  tear rolls down for what is not there in the view...

Date
Neha Srivastava Jun 2017
Tonite she'll again take her thoughts to bed
Far away from fear
Let it be surreal
Her heart skips a beat
When she meets her dream
With the ticking clock
She explores her thoughts
Ahh she finds peace
Long time she at ease
They giggled they laughed out
Together they danced their hearts out
Under the moonlight
She paused for a while n held him tight
Her thoughts snuggled her gently
With giving her love abundantly
With teary eyes she waited for the dawn
To bring the reality *******
Her thoughts whispered going my love
Waiting for tonite when we shall be together my love

Dreamy Eyes

Myriads moods to rejoice
but not to lose the poise
Fresh in spirits and belief
Coz my raison deter is now ME! ! !

Wanderer
Neha Srivastava Jun 2017
Gazing at the moonlight
Shining and bright
I look out for signs
To get some respite
With the blowing wind
With the vibrating chime
I look out for signs
To keep me alive
With the tides on the shore
I think how much of myself I should be feelingly yours
As I battle with deciphering this code
I feel my heart all alone
As I look out for signs
Deep and Deep I fall into them
Alas I find no answer no respite

Who Am I?
Neha Srivastava Jun 2017
My Body - in quest of pleasure
My heart - seeking for love
My soul - in pursuance of Solace


They say the amalgamation of these forms my existence..
Deciphering this code will get me closer to brilliance

why to strangulate by sticking them together with a thread
When they all have different paths to tread?

Set them free..
Let them all reach their destiny...

— The End —
