PERHAPS...

One day on the crossroads of life,
He’ll walk in.
Dazzle my eyes with the aura of his arrival,
And rush into my being.

Perhaps its happening now ..

I’ll swoon in his sinewy arms
And he’ll carry me into
The land of our dreams.
Of colourful tapestries and soft feelings.

Perhaps its happening now..

He’ll place me on a plush corner
And I would blush and be his muse.
His hand would run through my hair
And that would feel real great.

Perhaps its happening now…

I can see that I’m sleeping now
Two men in white are bent over me.
They say-“Struck by a speeding truck.
Unidentified. Body no. 287.”

Perhaps I’m dead now….

Great ending! very original
Lucifer said…
i wasnt expectin that endin at all...wow!!!
Si_Lee said…
such vivid depiction of unfulfilled desires and discontentment .. !
at least i interpret it that way ..

I won't say its beautiful ...for that would do injustice the emotion of the poem .. I guess the word I am looking for is touching...

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….

CONFESSION OF A WOMAN...

When I'm born,I'm jeered at.When I'm a child,I'm made to believe that my reason for existence is somebody else.While I'm growing up,I'm discouraged to question.My brain and heart are numbed.I cannot die too,since it will bring infamity to my family.People would say,"At this age,what could have forced her to terminate herself ? She failed to materialize her fantasy.Such bad morals." I fast for the well-being of my father and brothers.When I outgrow my frocks,I'm let off to another household.There, I work for others, without pay.I have children but they treat me like a door-mat.Here too,I fast for my husband's and childrens' long,peaceful life.When the man of the house,who happens to be my "husband" dies,I shed a part of my soul.I have no right to live then,I just breathe and sit in a corner.Rest of my life is spent in praying-for death.They say, "Woman needs a man.In childhood,its father.In youth,its husband and in old age,i...
