The cry of an unborn girl

Don’t stamp out me, O!! Mother

For I shall be the best sister to my brother 

wouldn’t you accept me if I were a son?

Just because I am a daughter, will you shun?

You deny me before He drew the lines on my palms?

Oh father! Give me this life, as your alms

Grand ma? How could you betray another woman

You want to kill your little baby when its life has just begun?

I shall give you all the happiness and joy

Bring you the honor and pride more than a boy!

I want to be your little princess, dear father

When you turn old, I shall take care as your mother 

Chant all day, worship Goddesses with sweets, gold and pearl

Now you’re ready to commit a sin by killing this blessed girl?

I plead not to build me my tomb

Even before I emerge from my mother’s womb! 

College days

Signing off those good old days with a heavy heart,

Friends, college, fun everything ripped apart

I miss them to the core for its no more

But those smiles, laughs and joys I always adore

Those four years, slipped away in the blink of an eye

Now, the best days of my life is just a memory

Each day there, I learnt something new

For the more I learnt, there was a lot more to learn, I knew

Bunking classes, asking for attendance and running late

Though I write a 100 poems, a lot more to enunciate

Combined studies, projects, assignments at the eleventh hour

Yet, a step at a time, winning in every endeavor

Sometimes it was maddening, we were whipped too

We lived. We survived. Believe me the story is true

I am grateful to all those who made my college life complete

Blessed with wonderful friends for life and that’s the best treat! 

She

Even when every step she takes goes wrong

Her smile outweighs her pain, decides to remain strong

She has no pride in dress or decoration

For she knows her beauty is reflected in her soul

She takes a stand, steps up for the right

But sometimes it goes into a woeful plight

Erases all the untruths and evils from her heart

She is patient even when everything is falling apart

Sometimes her heart wanders wailing with the wind

The battle, sufferings wafts into her soul

All the doors of hope & happiness remain closed

Yet, she pulls herself together leaving the grief behind 

She is a mother, a wife, a friend; the glory of creation

Yes. She is a WOMAN. 

Mountains

Strong and sturdy, standing so tall

Rising to towering height

Sparrows and owls giving chirping call

Seething their songs with might

Heavy rain strikes its skin

Skinning away its ebony soil

Kissed by the veins of icy water

Kisses the drifting clouds above

Sitting on the mountains, by warm hearth

Your feet on fern, you feel the earth around

Crowns covered with pristine snow

And blue rivers running below

The scent of cold wind brushes your skin

This earth is now your kin

You want to stay there all, till the end

Playing to the symphony the nature sends

Her Divine love

She doesn't know why

All she could, is heave a sigh

May be she has to wait for one more life

To love her love as his wife

Weeping in a dark corner where none could see

Kissed by pains and tears

And she now hopes

A shaft of new hope, kiss her toes

Her heart aches making a cacophony

Knuckling under the symphony of fate

Slowly her heart is getting an armor

And pains can break her no more

Often love is sublime when incomplete

Pure, elegant and neat

And when it reaches eternity

It's no less than true Divine 

Her lost love

Knowing that her man, a pilot was engaged to someone else, she couldn’t resist crying. She was in anger. She was in pain. She lost faith in others as well as herself. She sobbed bitterly sitting in the dark corner of the kitchen. She regretted for the mistake she had done by loving him unconditionally. A number of thoughts were lingering and her mind was in fluctuation. A chaos of emotions roared in her. She wondered how she could be cheated and there was no justice.

Her father was worried about his only daughter and claimed she would never think of him again who wasn’t loyal to her and that she would move on with life. He was old and in a trembling voice, he asked her to untie the knot, the knot of his memories.  He strengthened her with courage and was ready to stand by her.

Her fumbling attempt to forget him constantly went in vain and she gave up trying. Her shaft of hope and dreams were now dismissed. She heaved a sigh. Finally she dropped the idea of falling in love again and decided to remain as a princess only to her father!

After fifty long years, he took her to the place where they used to meet. His tears rolled down as all those moments he spent with her flashed before his eyes. He took her shivering hand in his and said “I love you forever!”  

With difficulty she got up from her wheel chair and shouted “Who are you? Take me home now“. 

“This was where you fell off the staircase and lost your memory. And I thought seeing this place might help you a little to get it back. Our home is thousand miles away!” he said to himself.
