A cry in the void

-
My eyes wept every night
My heart throbbed every second 
My lungs felt like exploding in pain
My pillows strangled my wails.

No one cared for my pain
My Years of waiting,
Counted useless and worthless 
By the  useless and worthless society. 

They saw the people around 
But not a burning heart 
They cared what the people say 
But not my side of life.

When I needed a shoulder 
I saw only fingers pointing at me
When I strayed for empathy 
I heard only tongues cursing me.

I wished to be heard 
But I was totally ignored 
I  cried to be felt
But I was alone in my agony.

They went on imposing customs
When I was begging for my love.
They said you reached your glacier 
But they never saw my thirst.

Their glacier was like sewage 
Which never quenches my thirst.
Now I feel like a pile of flesh 
With an empty heart wailing for love.

I cried till my tears died out.
The pain savoured me
There was no one by my side
But then my blood spoke up.

He pointed fingers at them
But they called him crazy
They did the same at me, as well 
They called me unstable.

They tried to give medicines 
As they thought I was mad
When the only medicine I need
Was a hand of love.

I told "Women can never be free" 
They argued what's wrong with me.
Haven't we given you enough of it
Oh! Enough is never the whole.

I told" I'm not ready for it" 
That's not even an excuse 
You are old enough to be ready 
And we don't really care.

They pitied my thoughts 
Rebuked my insights.
Even when they saw corpes around 
They believed theirs won't be one.

I said "I feel numb,
I don't feel any thing 
I felt like staring 
Into  lifeless images"

Shopping for man in matrimonials,
Like keeping the better in wishlists
And saving for later 
And Never wish to buy any.

Body shaming to the ultimate 
Big and small, rich and poor
Fat and slim and fair and dark
Being criticised for doing no wrong.

I've no job and no money 
I want to be settled for once.
If love comes knocking by
I'd think about tieing the knot.

Words are just alphabets 
For ears numb to wails.
They boil us in a cooker
Till we explode in the pressure.

Your Lime Green Smile 💚

-
The first ray of sunshine, in my day's light  In Emerald hue,you shine so bright  Your Golden old eyes , So deep and wide Lures me in like an Ocean tide. Your eyes met mine in an instant's time Your face lit up or were they mine! Your lime Green Smile whispered out your mind And your eyes so gentle and kind . Your silver strands like a snowman's dare Neatly knit to your dusky hair, Drew me close to your messy might Like a warm embrace in a winter's night. I'm young and silly  but you're  cool and older  I'm naive and lost but you're wise and wiser Yet in your gaze, I'm already seen And in my heart,you always reign. Your short legs, an alluring charm, Your tiny hands, with curly locks so calm. Your tanned skin and yellow eyes so vigilant A perfect blend of love and beauty so radiant. Years,like rivers, so fast and cold  Splits us apart, as young and old. But in your presence,time loops me in  Love's grand illusion, forever within. But to your ears...

Paradise is in the eyes of the one you love 🍒🌍

I had a dream  Where I was in love  Or so I thought  My eyes spoke love My heart whispered hope  I waited years  To get a glance of love  Rowing back to me.  I preached of togetherness  Though to part was my only way I longed for a hand of care, But silence and ignorance Became my friends.  They found me stabbed  In depths, by the deceit of love. They compelled me to let go Like all good friends do.  But my heart-made-hope Gave no choice but to wait.  When all my hopes got killed  By that haunting ignorance  My heart made plans for new.  When all my efforts  Strayed without even a node, I managed to revive more. I prayed ,I waited, I fought  I cried, I tried, I hoped  But love has always been a stranger  A stranger who wished to walk away. I was my own one man army, Lamed and shattered, In a war to get my kingdom back A kingdom that was never mine.   I woke up with a sword of ...

By The Window Side

By the window side, the world unfolds Of joy and hope, of pain and isolation. Every view is a story untold Life's ebb and flow like its rolling horizon. Inside the window is never different Same stories! varied shades of grey. Some explored, some yet to be. Some fading, some silenced by pain. The car moved slowly, houses ran back Haunted by the woes of past. Losing hearts to the never-ending miseries, Courage faded like a fleeting light. I saw a face with wrinkles and tears Under the golden hues of twilight Like a silhouette of agony, in the balcony Of a house nestled by nature's bosom. Whispers of Departed beneath her gate People hung on her wall, numb and lifeless Her face, a map of trials and strife A testament to life's uneven self. Passing by, I felt an ache, My window pane drenched in rain, A pang of sorrow, a heart that breaks, For the stories untold, the pains unspoke, I glide past, the window's frame A horrid canvas, etching life's flame Each ho...
