Ignited Lines (Poems and Writings)
My poems and paintings search for the universal duality, a relationship between the subject and the object, spirit and the matter, trying to find the totality in this influx of paradoxes, in an effort to unlock the mysteries of life. I search the elusive reality of human consciousness through the lines, splashes of colors and the impressions of brush strokes on my canvasses and at times through pen and paper in the form verses. - Meena Chopra

Dusky one (Shyamal Si) - A 'Poetry Film' by Meena Chopra
This is a translation of Hindi poem 'SHYAMAL SI' in English. It is being released on YouTube. It is a poem dedicated to the youthful spirit and aspirations of all young women stepping into womanhood. My daughter Tia's zeal, explorations and her adventurous spirit, along with her resilience, gave birth to this verse. Link to Hindi Poem: https://youtu.be/5aSigOvYqpg

Confines
eves dropping
to descending shadows
from the mountains
but it seems
my password is lost
in a dark lagoon.
Words have taken the wings
soaring,
valley below is deep
my fist is tight
eyes swollen
tired and sleepless
words are seamless.
They are lost
in a whirlpool.
Why?
Why can I not
read my book
for once at-least?

The Mystery Book
Post by Meena Chopra.

Reverberations
Strengthning
facing
the deserted truth.
A plunging darkness
bare as death,
and a dot
disperses a line
in a voluminous circle,
folding the fire
a living time.
Images annihilate.
The bodyless prevails.
What was it?
That whispered
Reverberations
in a chilled silence.
From my book 'Ignited Lines'
