Alok   Mishra
“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”
Alok Mishra

Alok   Mishra
“No heartbreak can make a poet!
Poetry doesn’t stem from a broken heart
which fell apart
merely because someone left
and left a few marks to be felt,
dealt with and smelt
with emptiness and shallowness
of the breast.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“Only if I knew
that knowing it would bring
a burden I could seldom carry
and ferry among those I know,
only to be rejected.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

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.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“When we two parted,
there was no agony in either
of the two
who
lived all our lives together,
so close and near,
and so, so dear
one could hardly guess
one from the other.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death
