Poem
Once upon a stranger A girl A well intentioned woman With open and adorned soul Askance behind silvered eyes and sighs, Revealing her concealed seraphic smiles In an unending sequence. Yielded in gleams in day dreams, With folklores and odes chronicling her unique meekness. Once upon a moment. I heard silent whispers fade Within a bus on a starry August night She stood up to take one last view With hope gleaming in her heavy eyes Half in joy half in fear. Once upon what it seems The empty streets the cold store fronts In the stark of the night she fumbled and crumbled In the heat of the day she struggled and saddled Into the realms of unaccompanied paths; A forlorn forest A dense city street An unchained soul is caged (By the ugly parodies of society) In cells in the dungeons of her mind She ponders on her dreams reality killed As she walked through the shanty streets, accompanied by cheer and fond memories. Once upon a again Her hope lingers near; To fill the void with beauty, Top a class of fifty. Her dreams ignite cheer; To rekindle the lonely, Build Hope for the needy. An ebullience cradling every night, dazed with smiles lit by echoes.’ Once upon loop of forever after Lamentations probed! Between forced marriages and a broken home, One demure in her succinct lifetime Raped abused and ignored. A predicament lurking for so long, Gradually prancing into suicidal thoughts. And her world took a dark turn For the moments were near felt burnt And she recoiled deeper into her shells Too late for your remorse and wishing wells. Once upon a stolen dream Once upon a neglected childhood Once upon a depressing stroll Once upon an abusive womanhood Once upon a forced marriage Once upon time and time again “A bowed head, Seeking shelter from raging tempests” And as she lies on her five feet mat deep In her sleep where dreams unfold, The Queen rises once again with seraphic smiles in her ultimate paradise.
