CHANTINGS OF THE HEART

Tears flowed down her cheeks Like a stream of salty water From eyes which were blue with Hope Of a reconciliation- a new beginning Eyes which weaved dreams of happiness Eyes which hoped of a life like a queen A queen in his heart He did not understand her, her pain, her agony He crushed her beyond his feet Her dreams crushed therewith The dream of a happy life  

Yet again! Humanity was shocked, tattered and shattered. Where am I living? In a state where people can't differentiate between the right and wrong!! 

  Her long tresses and her twinkled eye Beauty hidden in the dark He loved her; wanted to own her She disagreed, proud she was… She continued her triumphant walk Pairs of eyes followed her everywhere She resisted his presence.. But she was weak, he overpowered her She was lost… Now she covers herself… Long tresses and face all in a veil She wonders where she went wrong Has to no right to say no!! (Tribute to the many acid attack victims who were jittered by their vindictive lovers)

I don't know what silences thou!! But this silence is terrifying Why does it indicate something? Of Omens and Losses! I cried, not for bereavement! I cried, not for grief It's unphantomable!! It's unphantomable!!

You worship her!! You address her as MOTHER!! She is Divinity for you!! She is a MOTHER She bore YOU!! You grew in her womb Her blood mingled in yours. Why do you despise her then?? When she bleeds... Is it wrong to bleed?? Why are you so indifferent? Do you know how it feels to bleed? Why is she not allowed to worship? To mingle, to touch? Is it wrong to bleed? Isn't it blood after all? The blood which bore you .. The blood which nurtured you.. How can one blood be pious? And other irreligious? You cheer the birth of a child The same blood you shun... When she bleeds monthly. Isn't it the same blood? That bore YOU!!

PAIN what PLEASURE do you get haunting me? Why do you appear before me in some form or other? Why do you crush me beneath you?

Behind those smiles I can see the PAIN Long stretched, unyeilding Loneliness writ over the face Heartbreaks, personal losses I don't know what it is!  Somehow, I feel connected Maybe because I had my shares too I was miserable, alone No shoulder to turn to No hand to console No one to share Many sleepless nights  Wet pillows in remembrance Of my shattered dreams Of hope, of love, of desires Of broken hearts I overcame everything ALONE I won't let it happen again! To anyone who is near and dear To my friends and foes I am there forever The shoulder, the hand The one who genuinely care Remember me Talk to me I indeed Care Your friend FOREVER!!
