MIDNIGHT DREAMS


Each night, long after the moon shimmers,
I see you with my eyes open.

The stars seem to tell me that you are
Watching me all the time.

I toss and turn in bed
Wondering what to say if ever
I get to meet you.

You have killed my slumber
And aroused the lover in me.

How do I punish you for that ?

You torment me and I allow it.
The sweet taste of the poison -
Keeps me alive in anticipation,
That one day you would plunge
Into the depths of my heart.

I shall trap you there forever
And be avenged.

My midnight dreams end with
The first rays of morning sun.

It swoons me into the sleep
I’ve been deprieved of in the
Dead of the night.

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….

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...
