The simple re…moreI am sure you have asked about my collection 13 Untitled and Weird Poems. Yes, I have only written 13 poems instead of 50 or 100 or 130. The simple reason is that most of the readers don't spend time reading poetry or just read random and chosen few. Moreover, poetry of unconventional kind appeal to the readers more, right now. That's why I chose to write only 13. Thanks for the question! (less)

Thoughts Between Life and Death by Alok   Mishra
“Justice


A mother will die.
A child will be saved.
A serpent will always bite.
Beyond the sentimental values
we often inscribe on whatever we can,
the jury and the executioner, in this case,
are one and the same, and their perception of justice –
airtight!
Untouched by the melodrama.”

Thoughts Between Life and Death by Alok   Mishra
“And we are still here
walking in this maze of perplexing
entries and problematic exits.
No words exchanged.
Even our eyes seldom throw
some letters of compassion or contempt
on each other.
I believe you, and I do so.
I know only you may show
the final door to enter
with no exit that follows.”

“Focus on what you are and what you can rather than what others aren't & can't. You have to win; they don't necessarily have to lose for you!”
Alok Mishra

“Firm was my resolve
and fragile was my heart.
I saw many ends and many a start.”
Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“A man is made of emotions,
largely, and intellect – wit,
humour, rationale and that's it?
No! A man is the rob that hides a soul”
Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“Focus on what you are and what you can rather than what others aren't & can't. You have to win; they don't necessarily have to lose for you!”

'and sometimes by the wind,
'my random lines on sand will be

'He said losing and winning matters not at all!

Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha
