Of selfishness and motherhood

Self-centered I had been Throughout my youth Beyond my interests I had not seen My life was the only truth- Maybe I gave my attention away Briefly, when in love I fell But once love matured back in the day On my love I could no longer dwell I was restored to my former stateContinue reading “Of selfishness and motherhood”

Broken

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Broken”. It is in the nature of everything To be broken repeatedly in pieces fine For every breakage is destined to bring The pieces together in a novel design With a massive breakage the universe began A giant mass of matter broke with the big bang AndContinue reading “Broken”

Anger

I hate being angry at the one person who cares the most about me in this world. Unknown I trudged along life’s pathway Angry at myself every single day For falling short of expectations Of others and my own-in combination For every minor failure myself I berated My desire for success never satiated Disappointment constantly followed me FailureContinue reading “Anger”

Shades of grey

I had lived life all along In various hues of grey The world to which I belonged Had night blurring into day, And the day morphing into night With indistinct borders all around No sharp distinction of black and white Innumerable shades of grey I had found The lack of distinct hues, the blurriness FuelledContinue reading “Shades of grey”

Compliment

“A compliment is verbal sunshine”- Robert Orben I cannot help mention that the poem was inspired by my four-year old son who complimented me on my jewelry today! The compliment that made my day How encouraging it was, words cannot say To the grey clouds populating my sky It brought a silver lining, I won’t lieContinue reading “Compliment”

Life’s judgment

Judgment pronounced By life, unfair may be Without any ounce Of reason that you can see Frustrating are battles That life puts you through You may prove your mettle Only for life to defeat you Why is the fight So tough for some souls While others sail right Through roads full of potholes? Mysterious are theContinue reading “Life’s judgment”

Natural history of obsession

An infatuation germinated In the depths of my mind It grew in size, and instigated Me to turn an eye blind To the warnings of reason: Unchecked and untamed With each passing season It got deformed and inflamed Turned into an obsession Threatening to tear apart Bringing, in succession Joy and despair to my heart The obsession catapulted me OnContinue reading “Natural history of obsession”

Wired

What is this life if full of care Throughout the day we continue to stare At screens electronic, texts, e-mail Afraid that without them we are doomed to fail In this competitive world, in this rat race There is no room for a snail’s leisurely pace Deprived of our smart phones, we feel incomplete Wish allContinue reading “Wired”

Fear and hatred

I see the world change around me An atmosphere of fear surrounds me Fear- naked, primeval, intense Dousing the last embers of pretense- The pretense of equality among men The hollow claim of love among brethren Fear borne out of deep-seated mistrust Simmering hatred that in a flash can burst Releasing a lava of loathing profound Singeing humanity,Continue reading “Fear and hatred”
