The Final Step

The final step

Someday, lone shall I lie,
Gazing at the starry sky,
Flanked by the shady trees,
And fondled by the cool breeze.

Blossoms shall adorn my grave,
Nothing more my heart shall crave,
Moon beams will linger on me,
Though still and cold I shall be.

No more dreams to dwell on,
Nor any dreams to bank upon,
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain,
Not even my memory shall remain.

As before, the sun shall shine, 
Then shall come the rain,
But my heart shall bear no pain
Nor leave anything, that is mine.

May there be none to wipe a tear, 
For sorrows no more need I bear,
And only peace  shall in me surge,
Nature! When with Ye, I merge.

A Smile

She was then, a girl of ten,
Who would remember often
The inspiring words of her teacher
On the greatness of a smile.
"A smile around the corner
Is enough to erase the winter
From a weary forlorn face, said her teacher
And bring a lilt to the heart".
As years flew- her beauteous smiles grew
In her life- colorful patterns it drew.
She deciphered the magic, it could weave
The happiness, that a smile could give.
She heard lullabies, in a toddler's smile
Felt the dreams ensconced, in a teen's smile
She believed that - smile was a language
Which could weather everyday wars
Tackle the battles of life- alike
And drown the very many fears
Perhaps of a passer-by, or even a stranger
She truly believed - in the magic of a smile.

Now she has a daughter of ten.
Her heart thumps with fear
Her eyes often sense danger
When her daughter smiles- at a stranger
She wonders, if the smile would trigger
Unwanted thoughts in them.
Undesirable urges and instincts
That would, kill the smile forever.
She wonders if her girl's smile
Would be snuffed out or be smothered
By a heartless pedophile 
Or an over friendly neighbour.
Fears, if someone would lead her astray,
And tarnish her sunny days.
The magic of the smile is lost,
Now, the mother's heart beats faster
When her daughter smiles at strangers.
Her teachers words are long forgotten.
And she no more finds beauty in a smile.
It holds neither meaning nor glory, 
While she has herself - lost her smile.

Flats

She loved to gaze, at the tall buildings
As she walked along the road,
Clinging  on, to the hand of her dad
A little girl - who loved to dream,
And think of the happy families
Tucked away, cozily in their  flats.
She dreamt of the togetherness,
Of the deep bonding in those homes
Of the love, that lit the rooms
And the peace that adorned the walls
Of the music, in their laughter
And the serenity, in their lives.
To her - flats with  dim lights
Seemed entrancing, in the nights.

Dreams lost their lustre later,
When reality crept in with age.
Flats could also house - families
Who shared claustrophobic years
And just stayed together,
Bound by the chains of a society.
Each- an island with no ties
They became strangers in a room,
With no desire, to know the other.
Lonely in their large beds
Living- a life of pretence
The bleak walls- adorned by silence
Despair seemed beyond repair.
Soon flats- became a nightmare,for her..

Random Thoughts

Grey clouds taint the sky
Blemishes on a sunny day
Tears well up in my eyes
Then cascades down like rain.
It’s a sunny world out there
My heart whispered...Go explore.
A place beyond your fears
Where none can hurt you anymore.
No need to fake your smiles
Nor to go, all those extra miles
To appease, to please the people
Who never returned your love..
Never to be unsure, of the ground you stood
Nor uncertain, of what lay ahead
Never to be, undermined by ridicule
Nor to cower behind your own thoughts.
A new dawn awaits..Discard your garb
Of a meekness and humility
That the world does not deserve,
Adorn yourself , in a pretence of the bold...

The You within

I dedicate this day, to those women
Who faced domestic violence and abuse
And went into a silent recluse
For the sake of their family and children.

I dedicate this day, to the women wronged
Who smiled, wading through fears and tears
Bore the brunt of violence with silence,
Unsure if their stand was weak or strong.

I dedicate this day, to those bread winners
To the lustre-lost women- to all the mothers
Who fended for love all these years
Abandoned, unappreciated- Life's reminders.

I dedicate this day- to those roses of every hue
Who carried on- ensconcing worries with smiles
Myriad emotions-camouflaged without a clue
Waging her wars all alone -against human viles.

Great women - at different walks of life
Each trying to carve a niche of her own
Appreciate her- give her the dignity
May the 'She' in her blossom from within.

Happy Women's Day.
