Love u maa....

Freedom never came in lump-sum
My dreams often crushed by her reality
Warnings and assurances, she was always in duality
Weak I thought she was
Because I thought I knew her

She was alone when she got me
Perhaps alone even while getting me
Things were done at her back thinking she would never hack
But never realized that she led me from the back
Suspicious I thought she was
Because I thought I knew her

I always wanted her to work like other mothers
But could never tolerate her absence just like all those fathers
I wanted her to be everything what I was not
Constrained I thought she was
Because I thought I knew her

By the virtue of age, I am now a woman
But to be a woman like her,
I have miles and miles to go
Strong I think she is,
Because I feel, now I know her!

My happy place

 All I wanted was a balcony, A perfect window to an epiphany  A perfect envy to the onlookers too A small desk with a seat, made of timber Some plants , some wall art That spoke of me This person I was in private. My kind of sundowner, this would be! I waited for this place  To unwind, to unfold my thoughts For years, All I wanted was a balcony  My happy place! While walking on that street  from my childhood home towards my dream home That donned a balcony  A resolve to all my quests A perfect place to nurse my dreams A sundeck with hues of dawn, And moonlit ever and anon All I wanted was a balcony  Unbeknownst to the little me, I now hang clothes in my balcony! There is no timber,  Only dreams that linger All I want now is to go back to that street And look for that balcony Dreams can't be bought, How timber-headed of me! Afterall it's the chase, My happy place, Unbeknownst to the little me!

Tell me...

I am curious, tell me everything about thee, an open book I am, you may say I wonder, even an open book has shallow words, spilled rather carelessly, or done willfully I will never know, for you are the master of your secrets I am curious, to know the real thee, who are we really without these secrets? a bunch of lies? you may ask the whys and wherefores  or even dismiss my quest, none of my business you see business is what I bleed at! after devouring everything that you have said, I still look beseechingly at thee, like I am gazing into the infinity of secrets, just to be free from the quest! Inversely, I sense you fighting too covering every chink in your armour to say nothing or to bare it all captivating they are, food for the soul too, you might even take them to your grave! I may say as I please, in fact, you are brave! yet, I beseech you, tell me your secrets I am curious It is because I care, I will consider and cover! I can play with the words,  but truth be told, I ...

A Fence Sitter!

  The fence is often where I find myself when the noises too heavy  each claiming to be true  mind beaten black and blue  When the dust settles, noises fade  what's true might not be true  what's fair might not be fair  the fence is often where I find myself  Why can't you make up your mind?  peer pressure so strong,  Impulses too wrong,  I did jump off the fence  once, twice, thrice  just in the nick of time  to please the voices,  just to find myself on the wrong side of history  No matter how you slice it!  The fence is often where I find myself  The wiser I got, the firmer I held onto the fence  No pressure too strong, hence  Those who pick sides may have a beef with me  Alas, a precious few get my view  a bird's view from the fence  I am just waiting for the noises to fade  And, we find a calming ground  while I sit on my fence,  I am not timid, not a co...
