For You For  you wanted to climb the hills And she wanted to live by the sea. For you were a mystery And knew all her story. For you were a questionnaire And she was a bunch of answers. For when you looked into her eyes, Her heart would whisper What the mind could not decipher. For she knew the vulnerability Of falling freely. For she will keep the lights dingy, And you will never see her eyes gloomy. For you would think she never cared, How good veronica pretended? For all that you cover Its time you uncover For the last time Before you walk away Let her see the real you Engross in the real you And, detach from the real you.                                                              Prerna Mishra 

Dear Veronica, only if the chaos, inside you sleeps. only if the bawl, inside you calms. only if  your judgmental eyes, loses its scrutiny. only if you unfasten, what chokes the vent. will you unwrap, the real you. The heart will blindly seek, for what it has set for let it be, set it free veronica! for you were born to soar!                                                       Prerna Mishra

Destined to Sojourn And I know you will leave.. For you are destined to sojourn The dark tunnel that I travel, With inmates that I wander, Sullen rubrics all over the the wall. And I feel you Like the fresh breeze, In the summer afternoon. Like a guiding light, In the dusky bridge. Like a known, In unknown. Some odd day, I wonder I seek I beseech To unravel you. And I quit I quit to unravel you. I embrace to cherish, Your ephemerality.                                                                                                                   Prerna Mishra

Veronica, try and teach me someday!  Come back veronica I miss the real you. You as I see today, an untrue mortal! The girl who was on her voyage, voyage of dreams, has deferred her dreams and changed her route.  I cry, all night but you never answer my questions. Why do you lie to yourself, veronica?  You were different; you carried a heart that wished change! On the way you changed, you are now just a part of crowd. Money reigns supremacy, buy peace if you can veronica, buy for me too! Ooh veronica, I am at loss of words, I see you depart from yourself. How I wish, you could still listen to your calling! You could stand against the treacherous world but you chose to adjourn it. Veronica, I hope with all that worldly pleasure you have, you also have a good night sleep. Buy good decisions veronica, you need them. May be you are right veronica, this is the way you will find yourself again, for the final time without an iota of doubt. It is only after elimination that one reache

Girl, Go & Grow She chose the burning road, the different air, the puzzle that no one dares! I hear the reason they throw at you- “girls can’t”, “get back home”, “time up”. I know the reason you tell yourself. I don’t feel your pain but your passion roars telling its story. She crawls, walks, runs, falls, but refuses to stop. She embraces the pain. That girl goes and grows through pain. Friends, she doesn’t have them. she knew it would be a deserted path. Ordinary girl, no extraordinary skill set, but dreams. She runs forward, detaching herself from this breed. Breaking the chains, she reaches out to new horizon. Through that sceptic glasses, the world would never see the real her. Of all the persons, I met on earth. She is the craziest of the bunch. She is restless and persistent She is weak and strong She is frightened and is fighting. I watch her on battle field, to find whose reason will win, to know how long hope kept her heart beating, to feel he
