The Poetic Side in Swetha Basu Prasad

Writers and poets need some sort of inspiration to pen the lines and make them into a story or poetry. Being harassed with the nuisance of being arrested and sent to rescue home for getting caught in prostitution racket, Swetha Basu Prasad seems to have seen the lowest phase of her career and personal life. As she is now a free bird, Swetha is slowly recollecting the energy and enthusiasm to lead a new life from here on.

The versatile side of Swetha is here in the form of a poet. Deeply hurt with the row of proceedings in past few months, Swetha kept all her optimism into a group of words sprinkled in the form of a poem titled as Cliff. It is worth reading ones, try these lines below. 

‘Thunderstruck, all alone, I stand here at the edge of the cliff. I crawled the dense forest to get here The tribes and wild and strays They say `Jump, jump from the cliff.' As I look down, naked, cold and trembling, The ferocious sea I see with its mouth open It's ready to swallow me. The noises are unbearable the place so dark. As I decided to jump in the sea I saw the North Star. I remembered how it shone above my blessed home where singing hugging and laughter awaited me I said, `Wait I want to go home.' The voices murmured, `End the journey.' `Jump! Jump you ugly thing.' I smiled to them and pitied them, They don't know I have wings.’
