I AM A WOMAN

I am a woman
And I am proud to be one

I am a woman
The strongest one

They dragged me down to the deepest darkness,
There I was,
The fearless one

They tore me up in the wilderness
There I was,
The brazen one

How many Draupadis will you create?
How many Sitas will you put to flame?

Still
I would emerge
The Woman
The powerful one

NEWBORN

I could choke you to death
I could strangle your neck
But you are my child
Born in the hour of death

I could drop you down
And break your head
And cry aloud saying
It was a slip

Or, I could poison my breast
And feed you my milk
And moan stating
He was fast asleep

Why my child, why?
The hour of your birth has to be so.
Like toys they carry guns
For hunger they are fed odium

I thought
I could teach you love
But I am compelled
To teach you to hate

They have guns for you
To play with
And army boots and suits
To snuggle

How much more sacrifices?
Nothing gained
Nothing earned
Just lose and hate

Instead
I could bury you alive
Weep, weep and weep
Curse my breast and weep

No more shall I bear
No more shall I give
To death
And to vengeance

Song of War

How much can you harm us?
How much can you assault?

Aren’t we equal?

Aren’t we the same?

Born of the same mother

But you disdain.

How much will you kill?
How much will you murder?

Aren’t we brothers?

Aren’t we alike?

Made of the same blood

You and I

Go on, go on sweet brother
You can break me.

But my spirit

Would not go unsaid

Into the dark deep.

DEFEAT

Defeat

How merciless life can be

When all is won

Somewhere we loose

The turning point of time

Is

The realization

Of all things lost in war

How many noticed

The eyes with tears

The bloody gore

Hath made

All is insane and meek

Why the fight?

Why the bloodshed?

What do one own

That can be carried

Beyond death.

APART

I
Sat at the corner
Of my bed
Thinking about
Love

My heart pounding
Thinking about you

The sweet nothings
Whispered into my ear
And your arms
Cuddling me into you.

Would this moment stay?
I thought
And the words slipped
Out of my mouth.

Would you care if,
I told you
Would you care if
I shout

Let the world know
That we sing in the night.
And our shadows
Dance in the day.

Grimly I close my eye
Aware and Knowing
We are miles apart.

PAIN

Pain
The feeling of numbness;
As though
The earth below your feet has just moved,
To suck you into it.

Withdrawal
Reflex effect to pain;
As though
The cat felt the heat
Of the hot milk on its tongue

Brood
About the things
That could have gone right.
And yet
And yet…..

Comprehend
That nothing could change;
The past has past.
Leaving trails of pain,
To remember.

Till We Meet Again

The sweet words we shared
will never come back
My heart grows heavy that
we have to part
But, the memories are
always in my heart

You may forget me as
time goes by
But , how can I?

Here I stand at the roads end
To have a look before i turn the bend
To wish you all the very best, my best friend.

I wish I could turn back time
And once again have you as mine
Friend, you are really very sweet
GoodBye, till we meet again.

FOR MY FRIEND

I don't have much to say..
no big news for you today!
Still i want to keep in touch
because your friendship means so much.

its nice to think of all we've done...
the quiet talks
the laughs, the fun

And anytime I think of you
and all the thoughtful things you do,
i find, i just can't help, but smile
for friends like you
make life...Worthwhile.
