My Love, My Life

I want to wake up
In the middle of the night
And look at you beside me
And sigh at the sight

I want to wake up in the mornings
And listen to your
Love filled heart beating

I want to spend my evenings
With you beside me
And a cappuccino between we

I want to take a Stoll
With you
And enjoy the glow of the moon
That's new

I want to spend every minute
Making and creating memories
Which.will make me.smile
During my worries

I want to make this
Life beautiful
With you, by my side
Who will also be
My friend, philosopher
And guide

Visiciousness

I saw her struggling
Putting efforts of mingling
Put a facade and move on
The real one
Somewhere gone

Like oil and water
Which mix but
Doesn’t matter
She mixed but it
Hardly mattered

For she was always
Aloof and apart
In spite of being a part

That’s when I decided
I will be better than her
Rebel and fight for
Me and her
I would break the shackles
And give her a few moments
From her dream spree
Let her live and make her choice
Even if she feels
Too old to rejoice

And that’s how I grew
As her daughter
And that was the only
Thought that mattered

Seeing, watching, noticing
Promising myself
One day I would
Let her
Breathe, feel free and
Live the life she dreamed with glee
Even if it means for a few hours
Among the whole plethora of
Un- individualistic years

I respect and love her
Because she gave me this
Beautiful world
And forever a special place
She will hold

Days changed into months
And months into years
I felt I was moving close
To break her free from her fears

Little did I know?
I would be married
And the same resilience would be carried

I became a working wife
And mother
And amidst life
Lay the shards of
A shunned bother

Years later, as I sit on the rocking chair
Reading about eve- teasing, rapes, female feticide
And the world being unfair

I realized
I am the same woman
Even if it bothered
I didn’t speak, I didn’t care
And I somehow expect the world
To be fair
How fair?
If we don’t let the world know
We really care!!!
