Modern Age Girl

Deep down my heart veins,

There prevails the clouds of 

darkness that rains

But I condense them like 

morning dew,

Apply on my eyes with its kohl,

And the world hymns, so divine 

and beautiful.



Sometimes my blood runs cold 

and thick,

As a steady frozen wind

But I embrace them and rouge 

my lips with its redness,

And gazing at them leaves the 
world speechless



At times I hear the world, 

entangling me in their gossips 
and words , 

Twisted up in their jealous rage,

Yet, I captive them and wear 

them around my ears, 

oh! And how it gleams, so 

yellow &bright, 

they are my earings that 
intertwines the dark sides, 

unknown to the world that is so 

wide



I often hear the rainstorm of 
sorrows around me, 

and people deeply mourning on 
a silent breeze

But I denounce this endless grief

And twirled them in my jet black 
hair, 

and tied them into a ponytail

Then they flow so carefree like a 
glorious dazzling sea, 

and how they murmur in 
Romeo's style,

O, she doth teach the torch to 
burn bright!



While walking the edges of my 
life,

I stumble, tremble and get 
wounded high

The rocks and stones become 
the friends of my feet,

Yet, I accept the pain and wear 
it as a gift

Tied up in my anklets that 
contains all the agony

But I walk the streets with all 
my vanity

They sweetly tinkle at my each 
step,

Signaling about the forthcoming 
future that lays ahead



At the midnight in the silence of 
time, 

When everyone sets their 
fancies free

but my woes stretches and 
hardens into infinity

And they give rise to, but so 
soft, so calm yet eloquent,

My beautiful bosoms 

And all men treasures these 
bright designs,

Unaware of the pain it holds 
inside.



Thy earth full of dust and haze,

 Nights of storms and days of 
craze

all that sings a melancholy 
strain, 

but yet I preserve them and 
personify my body 

With its flowery polka dress,

That creates an exotic grace

and that moves men's heart 
without any stress



So here I am all dressed up,

Come and click me with all you 
have

As I look so enhanced,

Flashing a smile that's so 
intense,

But remember, that's not the 
smile from my heart and soul,

But rather a pain hidden in my 
belly it bored.



I hear some people grumbling 
and whispering,

Staring at my photo and 
wondering 

Look at her how graceful she 
looks 

Who ravages the world with her 
trance that allures

Alas! How intensely she lives 
with all her charm

And that veils our senses with 
no alarm



Hence now I know that I am an 
adroit actor

Because I can flaunt my pseudo 
smile faster

How much ever I try to 
suppress my troubled soul,

But the hassled clouds reveals

The utmost grief it feels,

So here I lock all my fantasies,

Broken wishes and crushed 
fancies

And throw them higher, far in 
the future

Bury them and forget the 
twitching agonies I bore

Yes, I am that modern age girl 
whom you adore

Hi SKAT, thank you so much for stopping by. Well I belong to India and English has always been my passion, but unfortunately I could not take the stream. I never gave it a thought of penning down my thoughts when recently I saw my friend doing the same, and believe me, she is a born poet. And then two days bak I thought why not give it a try. And here I am with this poem, and I thank you again for the grand welcome. This is my first poem, so if you can review it and tell me, I would be really grateful. :) Regards, Joy
