THE DIARY OF A BATTERED WOMAN

The excruciating pain,

I told you to stop,

You went on,

Snubbing my innocent plea,

You hit me to shut me up,

I passed out,

You cared not,

Heartlessly,

Your satisfaction came,

My motionless body,

Begging for your attention,

I was bleeding,

You left me for dead,

My wounds are now healed,

And now you are back,

Begging for forgiveness,

The scars you left are still visible,

My mind has a clear memory,

Am sorry.

I can’t take you back.

Rhythms

Engrossed in thoughts of you,

I open myself up to this vast resonant rhythm
A song so melodious and musical,
A lyric which emits the mystique's of love,
"The echoes of the heart."
As i sync myself to its flow,
I get masked in a pool of ambiences.
Anabode so passionateI can only reminisce...,
memoirs of a love so magical are evoked,
For a instant it feels like a fairytale.
Unbelievably the song fades away
and I am slammed back into reality...,

A reality so unreal,
where I am just lying on my bed

In solitude wishing I was not alone.

LITTLE LADY

Little lady you call me,

I have vague memories of the years I was little,

Playing with the soil in my mamas garden,

I felt protected by adults,

I had no worries,

No cares,

Whenever I cried,

They picked me up and soothed me,

Life was simply amazing,

Now I am no little lady any more,

I take care of me and pay my own bills,

I would love to go back to that time,

Where my parents worried for me. 

DEATH

Out of a small seed,

A flower breaks,

Blossoming at the nurtured gardens,

So exquisitely,

Striking the eye of its viewers,

So exuberantly,

Not drowning when floods come,

Not burning under scorching sun,

Not freezing even in winter,

It still stands all the mishaps,

Blooming so beautifully,

The best flower is plucked

Only by the cruelest of all tragedies,

Death

MY DESIRE

If I was told to make a wish,

I would wish to be forever young,

To not gain a pound,

Even if I eat all kinds of junk,

To have a size 8 figure,

To have a healthy body,

That endures all weather,

A moment of fame for the right reasons,

To have a good spouse that loves me totally,

To have healthy obedient kids,

All this matters to me but not as much,

Trust is the gift I want most in this world,

Respect is the even more essential,

True Love is above all,

The most important values,

You would gift your loved one with,

Are those of Love, Trust and respect

RE-ORGANIZATION

Furniture necessities reorganization,

It’s all sitting in the wrong spaces,

The heartaches go outside,

To be washed away by the rains,

Good tidings neatly shelved in the chest of drawers,

Blissful moments in the living room,

All the smiles at the entertainment Centre,

Mistakes now locked away at the store,

All the hurts in the trash cans,

Bad recalls in the garbage trucks,

House re-organized now,

Ready for newer furniture.

GREATEST TEACHER- TEACH ME

Hold my tongue oh lord,

To think before I utter,

Hold my hands oh lord,

Not be nasty in anger

Teach me patience,

In times of frustration,

In distress,

Remind me not despair.

Most of all teach me love,

It is the essence of your being.

JAMMED UP

Today is one of those days,

My fingers refuse to run,

My eyelids shut without notice,

My mind has no focus,

My legs turn a blind eye,

Folders in my head disobey my command,

Today is one of those jammed up days.

WHY WAS IT NOT YOU

From behind she looked like her,

Walked like her,

I was sure it was her,

I hastened my steps to reach her,

Was delighted to have caught a glimpse of her,

I smiled at the thought of our union,

Each step I took my heart raced,

Joy, elation, excitement,

At meeting my friend,

I reached her,

With a ready hug,

Smile on my lips, glow in my eyes,

I tapped her on the shoulder,

When she turned,

My mouth dropped.

It was not her…

The embarrassment….

The scorn in her eyes,

The humiliation when she said

“Do I know you?”

I almost asked the earth to open up.

Catus

I walk around your house when you leave,

Napping at your favorite coach,

Sometimes I even pee at it,

And I get away with it,

When you have visitors,

I sit with you in the living room,

Appearing so desperately needy,

Snooping at your conversations,

Meowing for the visitors food,

Which they kindly give,

I pounce at it with no gratitude,

But you still keep me,

Even if I have no manners,

Good thing is,

I scare away rats.

Mama

When you bore me,

You endured all ridicule because of me,

Limiting yourself so I could have,

Backing me up when I was criticized,

When I turned into puberty,

You taught me how to be a good girl,

How to hold myself in highest regard,

And to honor myself

You are to me the truest ally I ever had,

I can talk to you about anything and you listen,

You offer wise counsel whenever I need it,

Even with heavy burdens you keep it all in order.

I could never ask for a better mother.

YOUNG LOVE

Oblivious of the onlookers,

We strode side by side,

Holding hands like two lovers,

As we hugged each other,

New love had been born within us,

We sat in the grass long hours,

As we looked at the stars,

Counting our blessings,

Fearless of the night attacks,

Daring the town women to talk about us,

We only felt love,

Entwined within our hearts,

Now we are on different paths,

Clinging to the memoirs of the past love,

As they fade away with each passing day.

GREAT LOVE

When we wrong him, He pardons us,
He shields us even when we don’t ask him,
He loves us even if our flaws are far too visible,
He sends us to our slumber and watches over us,
He lets the sun shine on us every morning,
He sees us go out and lets no harm come to us,
He wipes away our tears if when we don’t trust him,
He loves us still even if we don’t love him back,
How great love we have in him.

Little Things You Do

It’s in the way you worry,

The way you care,

The way when I need you,

You are there,

It is the way you hold me,

Within your warm embrace,

The way you kiss me,

The way you talk to me,

While you look at me shyly,

The way you check up on me daily,

The way you treat me generously,

That makes my heart race.

It is in the things

You do and say.

It is how amazing

You are in every way.

It is for every little thing, 

I say thank you so much.

For with everything you've done,

It is my heart you always touch.

Every little thing you've done

Means more than words can say.

It touches the very depth of my heart

And I love you more,

With each passing day, 

With you now in my life I feel complete.

EARLY BIRD vs EARLY WORM

Up from his nest,

The early bird fly’s miles

In search of the early worm,

It never gives up,

Until it catches a glimpse of the early worm,

The early worm,

Squirming up from his slumber,

Gets moving,

In search of its food,

Unaware of the day’s events,

The injustice is this,

The early worm was up early to search for food,

Unfortunate for it,

It gets eaten, becoming the early birds,

Breakfast

MY NEW BORN

We saw your first movement inside your mama’s tummy,

And felt your first kick when we held each other,

We saw you play inside my lover’s tummy,

And were anxious to know you,

When you came out,

A cry you let out as we received you into this world,

Your tiny fists, you clenched so tightly,

Your petite eyes, you were so afraid to open,

As you nestled in your mamas bosom,

Every so peacefully,

Ever so angelically,

You were,

As our friends held you,

You have brought so many smiles,

Into our world,

As we take you home our princess,

We are filled with so much pride,

At having such a beauty into our life,

We love you princess.

HOSPITALS

How I abhor antibiotics,

Alien abutments which enter my bloodstream,

Leaving a nauseating feeling,

Injections I abhor even more,

Excruciating pricks that break my skin,

Leaving painful recaps of the ache,

Visit to the doctor is even worse,

Searching for the right words to explain how I feel,

Doctor’s inquisitiveness of my last period,

Questioning my outmost secrets,

Asking me to lie down,

While he scans my body,

Making me so mortified,

How I detest hospitals,

I wish there were natural remedies.
