Her Life

Yikes!

Undesirable guest in the family

Washed away the dreams of their life

Frozen wish for a baby boy to love and care

The guest grown up over a period of time knowingly or unknowingly,

Obscure of the coarse life

Caged for the past twenty seven years,

Thoughts chained from roaming around the colourful world

Un-hatched dreams suffocate without ventilation,

Legs interlocked and twined to the window bar

Sharp cornered weapon without license chopped off the wings of dreams

Fixed paternal gaze outside the window, mind ponder

Listening to the rain drops falling on the earth

Wool-gathered the fragrance of freedom in long run

Turned the pages of books to find her world,

Classic silence vibrated in the ear drum

Darkness melanised her vision

World around her smile, dance and sing for merry

She taps to the tune of songs for wealth

Hidden wishes and dreams popped up at times

Learnt to suppress and lock them

They practised bows and arrows on her

Depth and intensity of pain immeasurable

River of tears flow from terra incognita

People approached for selfish needs

Punched her heart and she fisticuff,

Crunched her life but she not a pugilist

Tore her into pieces, and threw in trash barrel

Pretended to smile in public, proved to be a good actress

Sleepless nights covered with nightmares

Neither man nor God gave her relief from the hard core pain

Her life floats along the sea waves, wandering sea shores

In search of a land to build her lovely cage,

With a beautiful green lawn, fragrance spreading flowers

Attracted by multi coloured butterflies and tweeting sparrows.

Moulded in to a money making machine

Denying her right to dream, to love and to live

Friends, colleagues and the entire world fly higher

To land on the celestial point

Her life alone stands still.
