Symphony by Neetu

Symphony

all I hear is this song…

carried to my ears upon waves
as they ebb and return
a symphony of love
played on instruments
of the heart—


those harps that pull
me into the ocean
teach me 

to ride the waves

Unwanted Companion by Neetu

September 26, 2025 by in category Poet's Day by Neetu Malik tagged as , ,

Unwanted Companion

I wait eagerly
for absolute darkness
to lose my shadow

it troubles me to
feel its presence
grow, then diminish,
but not disappear

I grow weary of its company
walking close
beside me, before me,
behind me

an appendage that
speaks its own
language 

formidable in
eloquence,
eerily chained to
my heels.

Stagnant by Neetu

Stagnant

I drop pebbles     slowly
watch them fall
in a shallow stream

it runs cloudy
under such a pristine sky—

they ripple
and disappear 
from my eye—

but I know

they lie trapped
in murky debris
that rained down

from angry clouds

Foreboding by Neetu

Foreboding

she reaches out
touches fog
she had hoped 
for the sun

to slip its silky warmth 
over her cold skin 
withered and splitting 

like the bark of a tree
not used to early frost

summer has not yet 
run its course, she whispers
as she exhales a misty breath

it is too soon for woodpeckers

in the woods, the air is dense
besides a lone goldfinch
she might be the only witness
to the end
