The Court Room

The leaned up bodies and pale faces on the chair,

The black and white couture and the other undemanding wear,

I tell myself, I pulled me into this and other voices denote they don’t care,

The look, the sight, the stare,

It is really not my fault, though I stand there.

An order in the court, and the people rise above,

The Judge comes, all stand – and I don’t who or how,

A sudden rush in me and I stand,

Before I sit my name is called out and here I am,

Standing in front of the court, all alone,

With a view of judgments, critics, Oh! I feel worn.

Hauling myself through the court room,

Hauling myself until I out-stand the loom,

A sign, a timid silence and the moment is done,

The trial in unending, off I go with my shoulder shun,

Awaiting..the next hearing.

The Grotesque sprawl

Within my mind a resent, a denial, a brawl

Who am I fighting; I don’t know it at all

The smidgen in my heart makes my emotions crawl

The smidgen in my heart, is it worth the fall?

I need to scream, I need to shout

All I need is to cut this crap out

Denunciation, dissent, balk is all I feel

Somebody tell me….this is not real

The tribulations I go through, I see life more wide

Trials can’t play me; they are just a roller coaster ride

May be I observe myself now, May be I know myself better

May be I know what is erroneous and ingenuous  

May be I know what to accept and what to deter

The way the path was laid out; I guess I lived it well

The way the life has turned around

I am sure I will have many tales to tell

Unknown Love

Several unknown thoughts in my mind, several strange dreams….

I have started falling in love with the rain

I have started making wishes again

My thoughts have no voice, but my dreams have no chain

Flickering from one end to another, a feeling I don’t want to name

Sometimes I feel I am not meant for you

My helplessness leans on me

Sometimes I feel you deserve better

Rather than standing on my side, life long, like a beam

Your light is like the moon, though drawn from the sun

My love will be eternal, though the fight is not won

There are barriers that cannot be broken, there are thing untold

Life has been messed up, how will we be able to unfold?

The seasons kept changing, but my love for you was constant

I admit that I tried to change them, but I kept falling in love with you more instead

Defining a woman

You are a woman; you better dress right

You are a woman; do not go out at night

You are a woman; you have no right to dream

You are a woman; make sure you don’t cross the beam

You walk on the road and they tease you around

You are a woman; it is normal to get hound

You are a woman; there may be reasons you can’t have it all

You are a woman; to accomplish you will have to crawl

Social outset makes a woman slender

What is her fault, its being a woman I wonder?

I am a woman strong and bold

I am a woman with grounds untold

I am a woman no matter what you think

If I were a short dress that does not mean you can wink

I am a woman, I am not always meant to live with subservience

I am a woman, I am dignified and I know my own relevance

When a woman yearns for equality, Society may articulate

When a woman breaks her bounds, Society may arbitrate

Women are equal, not flimsy or tender

Society needs to be humane, stop being bias on gender
