Whispers by Arshi

WHISPERS 

Here, this morning, 
where faces are aglow like soft sun-rays,
sit beside me, 
for an eternity, or so. 

Musings twirl like autumn winds. 

Tell me, 
of stories, 
in which strong girls strive, 
of cities, where love deafens hate
of battles, that are won
vows that were never torn. 
Tell me, 
the storm will pass
and we will survive, 
sunflowers will bloom
out of our bosom.

Arshi writes poetry on themes of love, longing, and emotional resilience. Her poems have appeared in both Indian and international journals, including The Blue Minaret, Bosphorus Review of Books, Tap Into Poetry, Heduan Review, and others. Through her words, she seeks to find light in the dark, and a voice for tenderness in a loud world.
