Change from the edge

Innocence was good
there were no fears
Childhood was a period
We were free to let flow our tears

Mind didn't have much to worry
All grudges one could easily burry
Life was a feast, of colourful days
Lots of choices and myriad ways

No manual of happiness guided anyone
No timelines to chase and get stuff done
Silly acts, too made us bloom
Frowns had no fixed room

Stars were pure magic
Moon played the trick
It's periodic waxing and waning
From shapes of a disc to a deformed ring

Then the knowledge was imparted in institutions
About the actual stars and the world
Which had an impact that was mind-bending
And gradually innocence became an ephemeral thing

As we grew up, with implicit meanings
We got wrapped up in worldly things
Now we are lost in a labyrinth
Mutually coexisting in a myth
That the world will change and then will we
Till then, just wait and out we see

Why not look within yourself
and let the change begin from thee
Do you fear the wrath itself?
Why not take a spree?

Start the change you wish to see
Let your caged innocence be free
Take not a step but a leap
Take a fearless dive that's very deep

Reach extremes and then you would get
Either a pearl or a star, one can surely bet

Weird Modern Women

They are called modern in every era For they dare to be different Push the social boundaries Ask explanation for traditions That paint them weak, Keep them away from power, Burden them with responsibility, Curb their right to choose  and push them to just follow- the mores and customs & practices most of which they despise. She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.

Kavita / Poem

  The journey of my poems Some of them gush out as an outburst of emotions Others cling in my head as a punch line Many are result of unconscious observation Some are based on my values and inclination But each of them is special As a conversation with myself Reflection on society and communication between like minded folks They reveal my concerns, my desires, my fears, my state of mind My encrypted secrets, my fantasy and obviously my love too
