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 

The tree

I am the tree, the soul of the forest green

Without me, there's no life, I ween!

My trunk furnishes your home with furniture

And my barks, a home for birds and creatures

My roots lie deep into the earth

And the green creepers decorate my girth

I stand by the summer's burning heat and winter's sleet

And offer you a cold recede

I catch the rain droplets, take the Sun's heat

Offer you with nuts and fruits to eat

In autumn, my golden gown starts to wither

Wait for the spring to cover me again, in shiver and somber,

My leaves form a brown bed, up and down the street

Whispering and rustling under your feet

You stop and lay in my shaded grassy ground

The breeze lifts you up, a soothing sound

The beam of my beauty reaching the azure sky

A shelter under me and heaven is nigh!

So, look at me, before you hurt me and raise your weapon

Cos, I am the handle of your own coffin

I am the tree, the soul of the forest green

Without me, there's no life, I ween!

Alone in an island

If I were to be alone, only me

Let me be by the serene pacific sea

Let me live on those cliffs and the beach

Where the Sun and stars seem within my reach

Where the caresses of the waters plays over my tranquility

The whispers of the breeze comforting me

A home in an island with no foes

And the small fishes with love, kiss my toes

Where the waters crash the white smooth sand

And the emerald hills lay beyond the land

The seagulls, urchins, quill fishes and the winds

Listening to the peaceful song the island sends!

Living by the sea among nature, life just seems so right

Among the lighthouses, green and the blue, life is simply a delight!

I miss you, friend

I feel like ages since I have met you all

I do nothing rather stare at a wall

I miss our silly fights and stupid talks

They make me cry, they make me laugh

Those beautiful moments of life we shared

The way in which we cared

I long for those days of pure fun and bliss

The more I remember the more I miss

I crave for those times back in life

Because without you, I can no more suffice

A strange hollowness in my life, it has turned so void

Were those my last days I really enjoyed?

I say, I am blessed to have a friend like you

Whose friendship is kind, gentle, pure and so true!

If someone asks me the best two I knew

Without a clue I would just say you! 

Within my book of memories your page, I cannot turn

Because those are the days I always yearn

I realize, you stay a thousand miles apart

But you always remain as a true friend in my heart!

For once

For once, I wanna move way from worldly world

Where I could wake up with chirp of birds

For once, I never want early smoking tea

Instead I want blue sky shelter me

Where there's Symphony of birds & rattle of leaves

My soul uplifts, with every passing breeze

Amidst the shadow of thick foliage green

Elegant flowers with sweetest odor sheen

Where I could feel early morning rays of hope

With the beauty of nature, I would just elope

Where I lay on nature's green carpet, a treasure

Giving its small folk, utmost pleasure

Where I could sleep under countless shimmering stars

Peacefully with no clock warning me every hour

And cold wind braces me up and casts its spell

For once, only with Mother Earth, I wish to dwell

I shall bide

I stare at the blank wall, I see us

I try not, tears run down a gush

Memories haunt me all day and night

Though I try to forget with all my might

Never knew those dreams were just a castle in the air

Now they seem so meaningless and bare

Were those promises an empty words?

Even you the one among this world?

Those smiles and laughs we shared

Were they for a while? An empty charade?

You held my hand & walked with me

Now I turn around, none I can see

You left this heart a hard stone

May be I am a stranger with a face known

For now, I shall walk all alone

But I bide, till He takes me His home!

The ghost in her

A deep dark hole

Carved through her granite soul

Fear of fears binding her, Fie!

An illusion which none can see

None knows what flows through her veins

A smile full of vain

An empty soul howling through darkness

Stands guard over her emptiness

Ghost of unknown fear haunting her flesh

Circles & whirls around, leaving her in mesh

Tries hard to get back her lost life and name

But the daemon is no lame

Her heavy heart always said "Why me?"

Ghost inside her always knocked

Only 'cause she had it hard locked 

And had thrown away the key!

When I look inside you

When I look inside you

There's a joy of pain that burns inside you

So much of untold silent love for me

Every blood full of trust, care which none can see!

Grief, tears, agony is what none can find

A beautiful lively soul I abide

Your heart, a temple of divine I glorify each day

Always a guiding light no matter come what may

An unsaid great story blazing inside

Yet you show the world having a fun ride

Spirit, kindness, care & love sublime

Profound love that grows on sands of time

When I look in you I see;

A mirror, a perfect reflection of inner me!

Puzzle!

Bits of pieces scattered all over

Trying hard to put them together

Journey, goals and life a battle

To fill those empty places of a big puzzle

Not all time do pieces fit

Never mind, sometimes you have to forget it

Because you can't fit where you don't belong

Else the whole puzzle will go wrong

Every thy problem is a puzzle piece

Hard to set right while some at ease

You use pieces & lose some too

Life both sturdy or sad and blue

Notches, several bonds of life

You have to build sometimes with strife

Stop the quest for the best not in detest

Only to complete the puzzle, a requisite!

After all, life is a pristine & beautiful puzzle

And to fit everything right is a challenge!

You my ink

You have been my first love since I know

You be with me, wherever I go

When my lips can't speak, you do

Every passing day, the more I grow in you!

You heal my wounds inflicted by a reason

Keeping me so happy for all seasons!

Share with you more than smiles & laughs

Giving me wings to my unrefined thoughts!

More than any friend, amicable & true

Senseless thoughts, my tears, ails I etch in you

Crazy fantasies, frivolous dreams not a few;

'Cause I breath-in an experience & breath-out you!

My mirror, a perfect reflection of me

To unlock the inner me, you are the key

Let this divine love forever be

You are an architect of my life, who completes me!

Three word Wednesday

Memories!

As my feet walked on the green grass

Whisper of the cold breeze caressed my skin

My mind, rattled

Rattled with those scattered memories

I was bent, for they haunted me again

Tears, smiles, joys, laughs

I gazed through them,

Some sweet, some bitter, some plain

Some bought me smiles when in pain

Some laughs, when I wasn't able to smile

No, they weren't worldly, nor secular

I gathered them all & kept it safe

For they were elegant, splendor!

Memories! a sacred place to visit,

Rather than stay

People, friends everything has a change

Memories? Neither fade nor die!

Today's harvest becomes tomorrow's memory,

I thought

A seed or a weed?

My choice, I said to myself

Walking down the lane!

PS: My very first non-rhyming poem! 

Save our Mother Earth!

Dear mankind, long before your birth

Alluring was the beauty of Mother earth

Now you are polluting her, letting her die

She's in grief, in agony, can't you hear her cry?

Desertification, contamination say no to this play

The change needs to start since TODAY

You need to thank her with gratitude

But, Killing your own mother? How can you be so cruel & rude?

Waste, smog, pollution & the smoke

Wake up folk, this is no more a bare joke

Stop trashing wastes, chemicals & non-bio into rivers

Cease killing forests for resorts, stop being more sinners!

Save energy, turn off the lights when no need

Satisfy your needs but not your greed

Try to plant a seed on your every birthday

Its only you who will enjoy fresh air & a happy stay!

Avoid the emission of carbon-di-oxide, CFC

To reduce ozone depletion you see

Say NO to the use of non-degradable plastics

Put on your hands to make earth organic!

Plant more sampling encourage afforestation

Bring an end to Deforestation, contamination

Drive less, use public conveyance & walk more

A kind deed to help beauty of the earth restore!

After all, earth is our only home

Stand up! Save her before she turns into a tombstone

Realize, earth can live without humans

But humans living without earth, is only an illusion!

This post is written for Poetry Jam for the prompt "How to"- and I made a small attempt  to write on "How to save mother Earth!"

I, me, myself!

I am that girl with a million insane dreams

With agony, my heart gives a loud scream

A crazy girl who jumps on nature green & rain

Finds a  great joy in blood & every vein!

One who tries, tries my best to stay strong

Even when every single thing is going wrong

With no care, sometimes I stay over cool

But at times I turn into an emotional fool

Many a times, the one who easily gets hurt

Sometimes, I seek no strength I keep inert

One who finds happiness in every little thing

The sunrise, sunset Oh! what a joy it brings!

One who hates lies, cheat & deceit

Loyalty, love & respect, the only I greet

Never jump on wealth, power or money

Instead love, friends & something that's funny!

One who forgives but never forgets

Yell when angry and then regret

For I know, I am no perfect

But people who love me, they always accept!

No matter what people speak, I love myself

Cos, I am always me, myself!

This post is written for Poetry Jam for the prompt "Identity"

I wish to live where..

I wish to live, by mountains —near the river  

Murmuring lowly, feeling the utmost pleasure

Where I could breathe the scent of cold fresh air

Stretch my arms & dance happily, with no care

Where the sun smiles through canopy

As I lie down on green carpet in harmony

Watch the calm serene waves by my door

Mountains, sea & the legend beauty I adore

Where the evening cold breeze lifts my soul

Water kisses the land, a beautiful shore

Watch the foggy clouds through window pane

I stretch out & feel every drop of rain

At night, watch the moon coming up the sky

Count the shimmering stars as they raise high

Fall asleep under the green dark silhouette of trees

Each day, tweet of the birds would wake me

I wish to dance merrily under moonlight night

Where clouds break forth every stream of light

Dance & listen to genuine music of nature

No other great joy, being with Creator!

I wish one day, I move to such heaven

Away from this worldly world, my pains lessen

Divine beauty of nature always mesmerize me

I wish to live in Her, I wanna flee!

Be yourself!

Why to walk in someone else's shoes

And lead a life of two's of no use?

Why do you hide your best self with a mask?

Only because fools speak behind your back?

Be the best of best who you always wanna be

Not the one who people wanna see!

For every human is perfectly imperfect

Let it be if none accepts your architect

Life is yours it belongs to none but you

Why to walk in a path that doesn't belong to you?

Be comfortable & the best in your own skin

The most beautiful thing that lies within

Why to hide yourself in a closet shelf

Be true to yourself & let the mask expel

One who truely loves you, never see your scars

Instead they love you for what you are!

You own something precious that others don't

Its no better to walk in a crowd when you can alone

Why to fool yourself and walk around

When you are already profound?

Whatever you do, people have something to say

Never care, why do you weigh?

Its your life, be the best each single day

No matter come what may!

Isn't it foolish to follow a nerdy herd

When you can open up your wings as a free bird?

So, sing loud & let your soul sing

Be yourself & let the false face fling!

Why-O-Why?

Why life, why do you play with me

Am I the only target? Why only me?

Without any ups are there only downs?

Only with failures & pains am I crowned?

Life has turned into a sad fairy tale

With pains, I am prisoned in a dark jail

My throat parches, my screams go dry

I push them hard, so none can hear my cry!

I pray, I plead but I hear no voice

My every move is from a bad dice

Bound in a cage of fearful fears

will I break this & make life a cheer?

I am no more a clay, instead a numb stone

Happiness & joy do I ever own?

Every move has become silly, a child's play

Woes & pains never stay at bay?

I wasn't that girl who gave up anything

But now, something says I am nothing!

Though I ask, I pray

For every task, have I become a prey?

Why? Why every step is going so wrong

Is it to such a world I belong??
