#18

I miss the old me. I see her lost in the seat of swing, amidst the circus clowns, stuck in the happy dialogues,shut in the black and white emotions, trapped in the school bag, hemmed in the magic lamp of Aladdin.And  I see her forlorn attempts to escape being prevented by a flood of boring unprecedented emotions.

Reminders

I want you to remember The photograph, you loved On the wall, That reminds me Of the last spring Where the potted sunflowers At our home smiled And the hanging creepers Mumbled, Of the girl who was looking For someone. You saw a thousand figures Dancing in her pupils A Mexican woman in Her huipil, A drunken man with his Lyre; Looking for the right Strings,And A peahen waiting to mate. You admired the Vine stems heading North In the picture, The cheap beads that The girl wore And the broken bridge Behind her, From which a fish Jumped for a self introduction. And when you remember Your dear picture, I want to remind You of the Coffee cup that tasted Your lips, The laundry drugged By your smell And the mirrors that Reflected your images. And you should know that The sunflowers no longer smiled And the creepers were silent Till yesterday. But today when The rain sprinkled its drops I see clearly the pupil Of the girl, Dark and intense,...

Promise

  She promised me she would wait at the other side,  Convinced me they won't touch her,  Because she is one of them.  But on the other side, I cannot find her,  Except for the ring that lies, dipped in soil.  We came all this way, for the ring,  How irrelevant has our love turned out to be for her people?  She said it was the ring she saved for me,  And made it for me, the day she came out,  As eternal love served by the lines on the ring, She has become my eternal anguish.  I search for her everywhere,  Even her people, who think I have bewitched her,  Acts indifferent, the ones who saw her for the last time.  I know you have made her disappear to a realm,  Where I cannot bewitch her.  But I cannot offer you that promise.  I have lost track of time,  She was always the courageous one,  To stand beside me,  And assured me fight in this war together,  But she left my hand,  To fi...

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for women out there who do not have a room of their own, to cry out loud. I'm sorry for women who do not have a space of their own to soliloquize. I'm sorry for women out there who suffocate in the air of pretension and who struggle to let go. I'm sorry for women who cannot enjoy the silence, And who are silenced when they want to whoop it up. I'm sorry for women who cannot say 'no', Who is touched, when they don't want to be. I'm sorry for women who are surrounded by when they long for loneliness. I'm sorry for women whose broken heart is not mended. I'm sorry for women who are killed a thousand times when they live. I'm sorry for women who can be billionaires by selling their tears. I'm sorry for women who are blamed for being selfish. I'm sorry for women who are doomed from birth.                                            I'm sorry for women who bleed and bleed and...
