Picture of Mona Lisa / Manju Kanchuli


I am smiling on half of my eyes

while, am crying on the other half

I am satiated at half of my heart

while, am hungry at the other half of it.

With glittered torn out hopes

with half-vanished eye-water,

by getting this heart back, from

water of love of a huge sea,

and, by taking offerings of

compulsion hanged on wall;

I am losing half of my face in silence,

I am losing half of my soul

inside the bright and dark tunnel of feelings.

On this longing residing at this page of wall

I am searching for

the artist who created me.
