Taming Me is Not Easy

Taming me is not as easy as you think,

For you cannot contain me in your

Petty accounts of suppression.

If you think of taming me,

Honey, you have to think twice.

I'm not easy as the animals you tame,

Or your subordinates you have at your beck and call.

No, I'm not questioning your taming abilities,

For which you are renowned.

But I'm overconfident about my abilities to overpower you.

The fire and my silk dress made of years of struggle

Are great warriors and killers.

They can torture you and your allies,

With the faces and lives of people, you have trampled down,

They retaliate your atrocities through their cries and curses.

My dear, you may not have any idea,

But it is not easy to tame me.

You judge my appearance and make a move with your whip,

But your whip can be crushed and thrown in four directions,

Which grow and produce thorns of insecurities around you.

Even if you come like a chameleon,

I can identify you,

With your foul mouth and indecency

Ingrained in your blood.

Now you know, taming me is not easy, because it torments you.

And when the dust settles

With you and your allies running away

With your taming policies,

I will open your petty accounts of suppression,

And release the prisoners.

At dusk, we will rejoice and drink

in the ecstasy of our freedom and strength.

The Lost Daughter - An Ode to Motherhood and Flawed Mothers

Mothers are always praised and glorified for the sacrifices that they make and are called supermoms, if they find a balance with their family and work life. Movies have always portrayed mothers as either sacrificial or supermoms. But do all the mothers choose the same road? Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Lost Daughter' speaks for all the flawed unnatural mothers. People who become mothers at an early age, who feel traumatized by the whole new version of themselves, who live in fear of losing their original identity in the run for creating one for their children, who make choices selfishly regardless of their children's needs. Leda in the movie, in fear of losing her individuality in the love for her children, takes a decision to focus on her career. She finds it as an amazing experience and embraces everything that she desired, peeling off the perfect mother image that she is supposed to keep. When women are considered to have innate motherness in them, people don't re...

All I Want for Us is to Feel Again

We were young girls Who used to play at the beach, Hugging, we watched the sun drowning. We danced till the candyman went home, Our skirts swayed with the wind, Cajoling us to stay a bit longer. We never thought this picture would fade away. I know this would never come back, But I want to feel again. I want to go back where my heart is. All I want is to be free and feel again. The colours and smell still linger with me, I miss the happiness I felt, The aches that watered me. My skin misses the way it felt, My hair misses the gentle kiss of the beach wind The bookstores and beach waters wait for us, They send a thousand silent sirens to us, When will we feel it again? The recklessness of age, the courage of freedom, the music in our brains, And the limbs that never stopped. The yellow city lights Gladly kissing the fine roads, absorbed our shadows,...

Gems

She is strong. Strong enough to break an iron rod. For the past few years she is differently different. A different woman than actually she was. Earlier she was that serious girl whom you will fail to impress at your very first looks,a time when she was supposed to be innocent. Seriousness was a markable feature of her chats, thoughts and actions.I have seen her crying, pouring her heart out. I have seen her shattered and broken.Lost with hopes.But now she is the Phoenix that had risen from the ashes.The things that she went through had turned her to view life as a bawdy show .Now she owns that artless childlike profile. She hides her pain deep inside her heart of hearts.Or is she trying to forget everything, by taking life lightly? Everything that could not be forgotten.Iam pretty sure she hasn't forgotten anything. Such true gems are a rare view. Women like her maybe present all around you. But unless they feel themselves comfortable enough to pour their heart out to you, ...
