10- Would you like to share few lines from your Poetry at Purple Hues-2









This is for my dear daughter who is going to sleep


To find a crown for her head I once walked a jungle deep





Deep inside the jungle, I found not a single soul


Sometimes, I had to ride a hillock sometimes, I had to crawl





As I went ahead the path ended in front of a cave


For my little daughter’s crown, I needed to act brave





The cave was silent like a sage and inside it was dark


If I did not find the crown I thought I would go berserk

First of all, I want to express my gratitude that I got an opportunity to write for this anthology. Well, that was the most valuable e-mail to me from you Nikita! Writing poems is a soul song to me. I do not read many books to write. My writing is all about the people whom I have met and the impacts they left. Literally, there are stories from different people and my observations about them.My musings, quotes, poetry, songs reflect the beauty of raw, void, incomplete emotions. My poem, " The Man Like You " is about an imaginary man who feels the depth of the woman, who wants to fulfill her dreams which are already turned to ashes, who encourages that woman to make her own identity.
