The invisible woman


She is still there, staring into the wide navy blanket,
with diamond stones strewn all over,
she sits there with widened eyes moist with pearly tears,
lips dry and speechless she is,staring into nothing,
that rules everything underneath.

She slowly walks out into the sandy shores,
she rattles the waves with her tremendous arms,
but straightens herself on seeing the silvery bliss,
the silvery bliss pouring out from the huge hole in the nightly spread,
the pathway to heaven, welcoming her into innocence.

She ignores the rare invite and drowns herself
into the joyous cloak of transparency,though a bit salty,
she plunges fathoms deep into the solemn main,and
rolls herself onto the coarse shores of powdered gold,
thus she brings the shores in communion with frivolity.

She leaves them behind just to dance with the denser green,
she rocks forward and back, shaking off the heart of every man in there,
their hearts fall at her feet, in colours of green, yellow, red and brown.
They are swept across by her gentle moves and dart into the nothingness,
then the men stay unturned like rocks ,heart-barren and grief-striken.

She flies like a bird, though with much ease,
in here and there, everywhere,soothingly pats the stream,
and swirls happily, plucking flowers, fruits and even trees, at times,
in her journey, she ransacks, but never sacks a thing for her own,
she breathes life into the living and makes them smile.

She makes them smile and close their eyes,
she darts in and out of them making them survive,
she flies into the saddened soul and soothes it with her innate bliss,
she drizzles into the hard ground as fat drops of rain,
she makes joy out of anything, guess who she is?

  1. Quite a poignant and well-wrought verse, Gayathree. I especially like the way you have used precious metals to speak of THE woman but the jewels don't serve any purpose except for adding to the image. Very thoughtfully written.

    Joy always,

Remorse

I am underneath a mountain of deeds, heavy and with grime it is, insects teetering  on it with their antlers held high. There is a little gleam of the jubiliant sun, hard on the plains, but never seeming to look at me. ever glowing like the fireball of faith. Not able to put down the mountain, Not able to enjoy the sun, I am, Not able to rid the insects that scurry into me. As time passes by, the mountain arches high, burdening me down into the earthen plains. The beings I meet, heap more trash onto it, they ride down with their valleys, after a maniacal laugh. they riot into my life, plunging deep into me, bringing the thousand insects in me into light. while their's crawl right onto their faces. The song-like breeze riding gently on the plains, pat me to a smile, dampening my woes. While I plunder into my thoughts, beseeching for the lost memory in time, I find nothingness, sheer nullity. My happiness is lost in mere faith of seeing light, th...

Freedom on tenterhooks

The winds howled like the midnight street dogs While the moist air caressed my cheeks,  It cooled my brow, brought me back to the then.  Lying on the stony pillow, I was, My balcony wide open, lending my privacy to anyone passing by,  Did I at the least care, ironically not.  Back from a long lost reality, I was, The time when I had found innocence in every child’s smile, Truth in every friend’s word, A blend of passion and talent in every artist’s hand, Bountiful faith in every theist’s eyes, There were green, brown and the transparent,  Boundless and not possessed they were, The unclaimed lands of a generous king.  They replenished and were so.  It loomed on me, they barely exist, And in the turbulent present, They dissolved like snow under sun, The chill lasting longer in memory. Rather there is, brimming coffers behind the artist’s success, Greed and uncouth desire in many theists’ eyes, The ghosts of innocence in the c...

Love you dear mom

Several years ago, you were born today, But for me, you are born fresh everyday, your smile never seems to fade, and your eyes never stop to greet, your arms never stop to embrace me, and your heart never, denies a special place for me! even when I am sad, your enduring smile, makes my inner blissful, and makes me smile gracefully! I know that even when, you scolded me this morning, you had a valid point in your mind, At my dark times, you have always reached out a caring hand for me and consoled me when I was struck with sorrow, you protected me when I was in fear, And you shared with me all merry and made me ever smiling and blooming... no matter how many people like or dislike you, you are always held in a special place in my heart.. for a sweet person like you, I have to be thankful to you.. till I live..even after my death! I love you dear mom...
