Where is the land i come from?
Which land begat me
The land with its soil so black
As the people who inhabits it
Just an extra dose of melanin
Got us segregated and isolated
But different is the story now
With sacrifices from my ancestors
And movement from indigenes
I can shout so loudly
"Am a black woman"

I came from the roots
Unworthy to associate with
I came from the land
Many years ago
Termed to be filthy and degraded
Which land begat me?
The land with its soil so black
As the people who inhabits it
Where criticism and devaluation reigns
I came from the race
where skin tones define us
Just an extra dose of melanin
got us segregated and isolated
But different is the story now
With sacrifices from my ancestors
and movement from indigenes
I can shout so loudly
"Am a black woman"

Night comes with the beauty of tranquility
So put aside your daytime responsibility
And enjoy nighttime in its serenity

How sweet are thy word
Yes,sweeter than honey
And the drippings of honeycombs
Thy word is a seed
In which i grow
Thy word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my way
Your word is a shield
Where i take refuge
Your word is a sword in which i slain
Thy word is a devouring flame
And like hammer who shatters the rock
Your word is like a still water
So calm and violent free
In which i find peace and comfort.

Dear Stranger,
Am writing this letter with a mixed feelings,the feeling of been heard and the feeling of neglection,am happy i can use this medium to pour out my heart even if you later tear up the letter due to anonymity.
Life is said to be a rollercoaster,it swings forth and back,during the course of my life,i had have my own share of the swing,life has been good and it has been bad,but your word has been a lamp to my feet and a light to way.
When life throws stones and pebbles at me,your word is a shield in which take refuge,it protect me from all sorts of vices,when am down your word lifts my mood,your word is like a seed planted in my life on which i grow.
I know you are equally surprised as i am too when i first detect your word to be comforting and peaceful even though i never see you,your word is incomparable,it is indescribable and it is irreplaceable.
How sweet are thy word
Yes,sweeter than honey
And the drippings of honeycombs
Thy word is a seed
In which i grow
Thy word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my way
Your word is a shield
Where i take refuge
Your word is a sword in which i slain
Thy word is a devouring flame
And like hammer who shatters the rock
Your word is like a still water
So calm and violent free
In which i find peace and comfort.
Your word has been part of me,that i strive to hear from your daily,out of all books in the universe,the one that housed your word is my favourite.
Till we meet,i will continue to read your words and hope to hear from you daily.

One who reads your word

Garment of Pride
One by one
Bit by bit
The dark haired girl
Shed off the piece of clothings on her
Fingering the last piece
a sweet smile hovered on her face
I remember vividly
How careful she choose us
Her garment of pride
Today being her wedding day
she wants those prized clothings
Next to her skin
For ages i've been with her
she treasure me
Her depository of memories
Being a mere scarf
I underestimate myself
But she value me
Her childhood companion
Standing alone,i might be insignificant
But when assembled with other clothings
I make statement
Meeting for the first time
It was love at first Sight
Graduating from High School,She held me with pride
Nervous at exams,she fidget with me
Best Graduating student at College
She walked with me around her neck with poise
She showered me with love
letting me know what a piece of cloth can be
Clothes can be source of identity
Peculiar to some races and Culture
We can be cozy and comfortable
Clothes can be emporium
Relishing old memories
Fabrics can be layered
to make fashion statement
Specific clothes defines profession
Clothes are art
We define personality.

Together we can
Colour is not a factor
Age is not a barrier
Body type does not count
Nationality is not a restriction
Race is not a prerequisite
All over the globe
women are strong
women are resilient
Women are brave
Women are industrious
Women are ambitious
Women are intelligent
Women are united
Women are one
Together we walk
Together we run
Together we fly
Together we soar high
Together we spread our wings
Together we raise a voice
Together we raise a cause
Together we fight for a cause
Together we liberate ourselves
The strength of women lies in our togetherness
Our beauty is our unity
Spreading love around is our charm
Build a woman,build a nation.

The Pal & Places
The place where you are meant to be currently,
The place where you need to be at the moment,
The place where you wish to be right now &
The the place where you are right now...
All these places may not be the same but they have one thing in common...
The thought of being with that one pal with whom we can be at all these places at once.

Outcry
Reflections reveal deep parallel rivers, shallow in perceived depth.
And though in darkness no slumber has been slept.
Pain stings and persist, and though Death sings, Life insists.
Each night consist of eyes open and rivers never desist.
Gardens of serpents with one apple on the tree.
It ends as it began… At least it does to me.
Day one or 100, nothing changes; normalcy, sameness, monotony.
Pain and I are friends now. The best of; if truth be told.
I need to feel something, so, with a tight grip, her hand I hold.
Reflections reveal deep parallel rivers, their depths, to well explored.
I’ll hold tight to the hand of my friend. She and I are of one accord.

OLD INDIA VS NEW INDA
Tribute to Old INDIA vs New INDIA
Aare wo india bhi kya tha
Aare wo india bhi kya phele....
Jo sab log iske misaal diya karte
Hindu ho ya muslaam.....
Sikh ho ya isaye
Ye chat sifayi thein
Aaj wo india kha dekhne ko milta hai
Chand logo ke wajah se badnam hai
Gaali gaali mein dhekne ko milta tha
Bhai chara
Aaj ek dusre ko dusham ke tarah dhek hai
Phir se mujhe chahiye
Wo india wapas
Phir se shanti chahiye
Phir se shaam ko gaali ke chorahe par dosti ke naam pe ek chai chahiye....
Hum ko aazaadi isliye
Nahi aaye thein aapas mein lade...
Aare aazaadi tho isliye aayi thi shaanti bani rahe...
Aaise logo se door rehna chahiye humein
Jo aapne padosi ko bhadkaye...
Phir se chahiye wo india
Wapas...
Phir se chahiye....

Rahe....
Din ka ujaala kaabh hua paata he na chala

Sometimes…….
Sometimes she just wants a touch of you,
A tender kiss barely touching her lips
to make her heart jump.
Sometimes she just needs a touch of you leaving an endearing massage
across her tummy with fluttering
fingertips……
Sometimes it is just the lingering spice
of your secent you’ve left behind…
Sometimes… She just wants all of you -

Maybe.....
Maybe today is not
One of your favorites, but
Never forget that every
Day you wake up is an
Amazing gift and it’s up to
You to make it count -

Something Like You're Love
If I can't have your kiss, I feel like I'm missing something. Because all my days and nights I swear I'm feeling something.
Take me away, please don't leave me behind. I'm always in a daze, nothing can ever define.
You touched me in ways and you aren't even talking yet.
Just the look of your gaze puts me in a sweat. Confess your love and I'll confess mine, kiss me boy and let our bodies intertwine.

Life Vs Time
Time is a misconception!!!
We are travellers...
Living parallelly as photon...
In each corner of universe...
Waiting to be transferred...
In a queue called life...
To other cosmic string....
Know to this very fact...
We keep our eyes shut...
Living as immortals...
Remaining slave to misconception...
Called Time.

वो नज़रे
वो नज़रे जिन्हे देख कर दिल चीरो चीर हो जाता है
वो नज़रे जिन्हे देख कर दिल ये बैठ सा जाता है,
वो नज़रे जिन्हे देख कर ये उदासी भी ख़ुशी में बदल जाती है
वो नज़रे जिन्हे देख कर अपनी निगाहो मे बसाने का मन करता है,
वो नज़रे जिन्हे आपनी बनाने का मन करत है
वो नज़रे जिन्हे सिर्फ और सिर्फ देखने का ही मन करता है।

Mohabatt ho jahan
Rasmo riwazo se pare ek duniya;
Tum aur main se juda bss hum hon jaha;
Teri nazron mei nigahein meri yun ghar kr lein;
Na asmaan ho na zameen ek mohabatt bss mohabatt ho waha!

Koi nazm, nagma ya kahani nahi...
Mehez ek zindagi chahiye...
Koi mile na mile iss duniya mei...
Mehez tere naam ki bandagi chahiye...
Khwabon mei nahi jeena hai humei...
Humei hakeekat hr pal chahiye...
Koi nazm, nagma ya kahani nahi...
Mehez ek zindagi chahiye...
