When are you coming?

Look at my kohled eyes
It’s a frame for your face
See my rainbow bangles
Its to colour your life

Tinkling of my anklets
Shyly calls out you
The red in my forehead
My pride in you

See my nose ring
You won’t come out of circles
And my hennaed hands
Come find your name

Come,

The kohl is flowing out
The bangles all pieces
The anklets so harsh
The red scattered
The nose ring engulfing me
The hands are burning

My veil is still drawn
When are you coming?

Woman

My voice sweet
Am a fine orator
But I can’t speak
My ears sharp
Discern words
But am made deaf
My path lies ahead
Steps are strong
Still left behind
My mind keen
Senses acute
Still stagnating
I breathe
I exist
Still no existence.

I am human

I am human
Give me a chance
A chance to live
A chance to fulfill
A chance to nourish
A chance to dream
As I am not like you
You call me exceptional
I need a chance
You call me exceptional
As I am not like you
A chance to dream
A chance to nourish
A chance to fulfill
A chance to live
Give me a chance
I am human.

why

I thought the life was mine
But
Why eyes do bound my steps
Why are words stopping my pace?
Why are my steps chained?
Why
O
Why
Why can’t I spread my wings and fly

Prayer to Me

My dream don’t need wings
Its feet are on ground
Doesn’t wish to conquer the skies
Heart of fellow beings is the desire

Life doesn’t need day’s n years
Moments in hand are enough
Doesn’t have big goals
Little smiles to achieve

Death doesn’t frighten me
Come now or anytime
No rites, no penance required
Wiping tears is prayer to me.

SOUL

The river flowed
A lone boat
sometimes along
at times against
but, always on its own
the currents rebelled
threatened
but it sailed on
accomplishing, sharing
failing, learning
but never loosing itself
alone it travels
never lonely
searching
conquering new horizons
A soul travels.
