Don't Go to the Morrows

 


Don't go to the morrows, 

I haven't had enough of you

For all my love that I contained 

for the past years was just released. 

And when I see you leave, 

I don't know what to do with all the love, 

I don't know how to complete our broken conversations. 

I told myself it was just a bad dream, 

Only it is not. 

People said we were too good together

and our smiles synced

And we seemed to be in Paradise of love. 

So don't go to the morrows, 

If we stick together, 

We can create a better symphony, 

we can be each other's muses, 

where you can paint me

While I write about you. 

And now that I think of it, 

It has always been you in my poems, 

Several people asked me 'who are you?

I told them you are everyone, 

Everyone and everything that loved me, 

But they were not convinced. 

They want 'the one'

I can't give them 'the one' when there is no 'one'. 

That's when you decided to go, 

Leave my thoughts alone. 

But don't go to the morrows 

If you stay, we can conquer many minds, 

Provide solace to many hearts

Like we always did. 

Tell me if I can chase you if you leave, 

Tell me you will return, 

Don't just hang me here like an unfinished portrait. 

I wish I had the courage to write without you, 

I wish there are enough choices for me to make, 

And despite all these, 

I wish you could help me write one last poem.

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...

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, ...

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,...
