Me, Myself & My Bag
Harshita Nov 2010
The clank of stilettos on concrete,
Of sparkling clothes,
Bathrooms hazy with hairspray and perfume,
The pink ribbon caught in your hair,
Lipstick and cash,
Mint and your blackberry
Ipod and your favorite book
Some things you won’t leave home without.
You. And your bag.
One for every mood..and every occasion!

Soul on fire
Harshita Nov 2010
You cannot tell her what to feel,
Before your idols, she won’t kneel
The things she knows, you cannot believe
Her reality, you cannot deny.

Unashamed of her *** appeal
She can’t be restrained,
by chains or locks.
Sticks & stones won’t break her soul.
She’ll always break free
from any box.

Make her angry or make her cry
Accept the risk, that she can fly.

If you can, accept her need
She’ll happily follow, where you lead.
She will love you,deep & long.
If you’ve the courage
to hear her song.

Winter Blues
Harshita Dec 2010
Chilly gusts of wind they blow,
Through my shuddering window.
As I lay enveloped in a red embrace,
Cotton, wool and linen,
lie together in a clump.
My grey blanket lies awake,
Keeping off the cold, all night.
And while i yawn and stretch my cold arms,
Wear those fluffy whites on my wrinkly toes,
Good old grey goes to sleep.

The air heavy like lead,
And time seems to crawl,
My snores wear winter clothes,
mittens and socks, jumpers and beanies,
Leaving little to expose

Coffee
Harshita Nov 2010
Coffee, like the breeze in the sun.
My lashes, like butterflies flutter,
Wet with water from the first splash.
Invigorated, exhilarated and refreshed,
The mist on my morning eyes, dispelled.

I wear no makeup,
Because I am here. I am alive.
And I am doing what makes me feel good.
Beautiful is how I feel.
Inspite of the morning breath.

I hold the warm cup,
The heat of the cup warming my frosty hands,
My senses steal the divine aroma,
Steam rises in swirls, lines and shapes.
Becoming lost in the air.

Black coffee, brown sugar and beige cream.
This is art, at its finest.
Oh! The little things in life,
That make life worthwhile.

Glow
Harshita Nov 2010
The glow of the florescent lights,
In the dingy bar,
Beer-spilt jeans with the day’s shopping.
I look for your eyes and only see black.

The glow of the moment,
That lasted for the first few times.
The spark, the light, the eternal radiance.
When there was laughter in our voices,
A spring in our gait.
Everything was new, everything fresh.
Just like the first summer breeze.

The echoes of escape within me.
The wanting, to let go.
Why hold on?
When it was never meant to be.

In the glow of these candles,
Burnt and low,
Crackling merrily without a care.
Of the and that is near.

Look up to the stars in the heavens,
There is no struggle.
It is as simple as dropping the ***** coin,
Into the puddle below.

I perch on the edge,
Looking down in the darkness,
I search your face for that look,
which says, "I know".

The glow of your eyes,
The truth and the guiltlessness.
Why did you believe me?
While I was only playing a game.

I had made a perfect bed.
In your arms.
I glowed in your love,
Basked in your attention.
Now I need to let it go,
without any regrets.

My persistent internal struggle,
The internal fire inside of me.
I can’t risk being with you,
Just to forget who I really am.

I'll find it again, the day after tomorrow,
not exactly, but between the now and then.
The creeping cracks of time heals all.
While I hold a white flag,and forget you
the glow will return again.

— The End —
