A poem for all of us women.
I hope you like it.
Do support with reposts and constructive criticism. ♥️
I always wondered
Why my feet were hidden from sight
By the dresses I wore, day or night.
I always wondered
Why everyone saw my face, my hips
And commented on my back, my lips.
I always wondered
Why I had to have ladylike grace
And pay heed to what everyone says.
I always wondered
Why all this was expected from me
When there was so much more to see.
My feets were always hidden
My boots seldom noticed.
I only wished
That they'd take a step back
And peer beneath the layers.
The layers they cloaked me in,
Layers of clean and pristine labels and dresses.
They'd see my dirty boots
And the roads that I travelled.
My dirty tracks would tell stories
Tales of bravery and adventure.
My footprints would paint the floor
With the troubles that I overcame.
But no one ever saw that.
No one ever noticed me.
My feet were hidden,
And I was never truly free.
Enough! I say.
I shall lift my dress today.
Witness my clean dress,
It is my own.
But notice my dirty boots, please.
They too, are a part of me.
Feast your eyes
On my grace and beauty
But never forget
Those boots that made me.

Tonight, I don't know what to write
Which words to rhyme
And the syllables to choose,
Tonight, the quill is too heavy for these hands
And too few words there to use,
Tonight, this body is burden
Too heavy to carry itself
Air too dense to breathe,
Tonight, Is a book of mystery,
Which I don't have a will to read,
Tonight, I can't recall my name
But my words sharper than ever
Powerful enough to make the gaints shy,
Tonight the ink is too dark
And emotions ample to a make heartless cry,
Tonight, there's a storm inside me
A storm of emotions, painting me in scars
Tearing whatever is left of me apart,
Tonight its too strong to let me be alive
Yet not strong enough to stop this heart.

And isn't it beautiful, the way we break?
As our eyes turn to waterfalls
And our cheeks become riverbeds,
Caressing the salty streams
As our lips quiver with silent questions
For promises unkept and
Decisions gone unpalatably wrong
And our feet give in to the
Forces of nature, and we sink
To the embrace of the cold, hard ground
And we propel ourselves up
With shaky hands, and fingers pale and
Bruised from holding on a
Little too long to the ones who
Were but ghosts
Now living in the shadows of a
Forever that didn't last.
We stare up at the moonstruck welkin, searching
Beyond the soon-to-be heavenly graveyard, and the
Dying twinkle of distant stars,
For a reason to piece ourselves
Back together.
And surprisingly, eventually, we do.
Isn't that beautiful.

आंखो में सपने लिए बहुत दूर तक जाना है,
थोड़ा थकना है,थोड़ा रुकना है,
फिर हस्ते हुए कही दूर चले जाना है....

Waiting for decades, not being decayed to evade from palisade
Magnolious maid made up of glitters of star cascade
Daughter of sea presents soldier of sea her crystal heart as accolade
Longing not to be buried, bodies intertwine in crystal bed
Romance pervades zephyr & they see dark night in colourful shade .
Knotted into love is braveheart soldier & crystal heart mermaid
Lay down on sand kissing golden sun & tossed by waves making love to moon, they're no more afraid of any renegade . **

Emotional Blackmail ain't the downs,
Your partner cheating on you ain't the downs,
Your partner causing you pains ain't the downs,
Your partner making you feel not worth it ain't the downs,
Your partner making you go through stuff ain't the downs,
going through it together when things get hard that is the ups and downs.....

Dengue Mosquito
Theft ... born in treachery
To take my blood, poison me
Cold body, sick and twisted
A victim of the pain you gifted
And ironically, it was the jealousy
What followed had hurt the most
To provide such haunting company
In my circle now comprised of ghosts
If the bite were just my own
Then I could finally be alone
Something special, somewhat unique
Somewhere strong, not someone weak
But as the life returns to flow
And body now returns to health
Again I have the chance to grow
Your gift will be my greatest wealth

Some people give you memories, with such beauty that couldn't be explained.
#write#writer#beautyinwriting#feel#feelstoday#poetrywednesday#goodvibes#live#love#laughDivines of some moments u get!
Not sure if they'll last forever
But their memories surely do.
Divines in moments where you are just two souls
Going with the flow, no urge to stop and think what's happening exactly,
You just pour your heart out.
Not just you, but your heart smiles in those moments.
Some moments are resplendently peaceful, giving you glorious memories for-ever!

Whispers in my ear
My eye may shed a tear.

The Yellow tree
Near my house, there is a yellow tree
full of blossoms, dances with glee
Birds sit on the branches so free
Home to squirrels and honey bee
Till today, I haven't noticed it much you see
Coz it's always there and close to me!

never try to count a poet , by his source of inspirations
for , those sources keep changing , as per his inclinations
of all those things , you won't take note of , for admirations
poets can dig , out of them , hidden yet pretty interpretations
for , despite your pretendence or beyond your nasty interventions
you ought to know , poets are souls , blessed with feathers , of imaginations

1 October 2020. 3 amLove Wish
Here I lay with my head on the stars
Feet on the clouds caressing my scars
Daydreams blossom when my mind soars
Up above the sky shining bright like quasars
Spilling wishes of love from fantasy jars
Singing mellifluous while breeze plays guitar

A Riddle
I am strong, yet brittle.
A house of cards, slight wind and I'll skittle.
Ripe for affection, yet noncommittal.
Decrypt me, decode me, please solve this riddle.
Play music with my pieces, I'll hand you the fiddle.
Like me a lot, or love me a little.

That darn cat
Once there was a rat.
Who was kinda fat.
He was always chased by the cat.
The dog didn't like that.
So he went to buy a bat.
Then he made the cat go splat.

Mirror
I look in the mirror often, these days,
Trying to find the angles
That bring out my confidence,
Which is a coward in itself,
Hiding deep within me, tail down,
Whenever I call out to it.
Look at you, I tell myself,
You're so pretty,
But even though I am a good liar,
I am good at detecting lies too.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
I know that I am worthy of my love
But why is that love a watery mix
That flows through my fingers?
Maybe there is only one way
To grasp onto it : cold.
Turn it to ice
Block out your thoughts
Stifle the voices
Harden your heart
Harden the blood,
So that I doesn't flow as far
And you can forget the bits
That you wished weren't there.
And yet, I know better,
A good liar cannot lie to themselves,
And so it is a puppet that I control that plays the role of confidence;
The real beast turns away,
For it cannot be tamed by lies
That you tell yourself are true.

Writing has power to convert anxious mind into inspiration spot.
It heals...
Creating space for positivity.
Sprouting humanity in deadly frozen body!
Writing gives courage to face world whether they like or laugh.
It tastes being an original.
Teaches acceptance to be a beginner.Words comes from heart.....
Writing
