Emotional poetry(अकेलापन) by Pallavi Mishra

  अकेलापन  लगता है बरसों से कोने में अकेले पड़ी हूं यह नीरस हृदय का खालीपन गुमसुम सी दीवार और मेरा चीखता मन गूंजता है कानों में।।              कभी मोबाइल, कभी खिड़कियों पर               कभी बालकनी में               राहों पर टकटकी लगाए              सुबह से शाम हो जाती है।             जहां किसी के लौटने का इंतजार नहीं             किसी को मुझ तक पहुंचने की जल्दबाजी नहीं। घड़ी की टिक-टिक की आवाज और सजे-धजे कमरे जहां सिलवट पड़ते ही नहीं। नींद कोसों दूर है यह सूनापन,अकेलापन इतनी व्यस्त दुनिया में जहां मेरे खालीपन की कोई जगह नहीं।। By Pallavi Mishra
