Poem
Vacantly staring into the night sky She saw big bellied clouds drifting away Are they fleeing away from the luminous moon? Or mercilessly driven out After being robbed off everything? Once again she looked at her expanding waistline And felt the pulse of life beating within It sent a lightning of terror through her The chapters of her life flipped past her eyes With several scenes reeling one by one "You are my sky The ascending star of my soul in the dawn And the bough of my homing at night" Those words that sent goose bumps all over Now rattle in her skull like worthless coins! Never had she thought she would be Thus cruelly betrayed! How she had once wished the time to stand still Now she sighs seeing the needle of the clock Crawling at snail's pace! She thought the deserts of her life Had been turned into grass lands When did the cruel frost fall To suck up all that was green, she fails to locate! But she remembers clearly when she had fallen From the perilous heights of the cliff Into the precipitous depths of the ravine It was in excitement, she confided to him That his seed was growing inside her Was it with disbelief or bitter annoyance That he heard those words, not quite sure. For days, she heard nothing from him Though worried, she tried to light up hope One day as a bolt from the blue, She got a curt message from him ‘We now go our separate ways' She felt drowned while diving for pearls! With a mutilated heart, the star crossed girl Lives on.... Without knowing, time winging away And the curse of the dead albatross Hanging heavily in her neck! But she shall live............... Clutching desperately to hope. Live for the poor ‘bastard' growing inside!
