This started from the day,
I planted the white lily....
near the river bay,
around the area which seemed hilly.
I saw her then,
I saw her,smiling with the bud.....
heard her,chirping with the mainah nearby.
My lilies grew,
getting tender,softer and shy....
out of em one of the bud,
never left my eye!!!
it had something in it,
something very naive.....
after all this work,
I was glad,i found a lily with life!!!
I saw her again,
walking on the roads.......watching everything with her head held high....
speaking her heart.....
I knew then,shes not just the bone and flesh of old Adams thigh!!!
she was heart,
she was love,
she was the ultimate life......
after a decades passed.....
m glad...i found a woman with mind!!!!
flowing like a free brook,
making swift n lovely movements,
easy with the way of valley!
she fought when she wanted to.......wept when she felt so......she laughed when her heart flew!
no manipulations.....
life was present in her in the most uncomplicated way!
And then,this happened.....
I saw her talking to the my lily......
Lily with life talking to woman with mind......
one in every way....
shining with the morning suns ray!
Seasons changed....flowers blossomed....
she did too!
again i saw her.....
walking with the crowd.....
they were her beloveds...I believe!
turned to my lily......saw it drooping with pale green leave!!!!
I looked at her....
shocked!!!!
where is the life????
she was smiling still.....but with heavy sad eyes.......
I heard one of em say: Dont laugh loudly.....they are seeing!!!
one voice came : Stay away from him....he will hurt in the end!!!
another said: Dont speak your heart....nobody will understand!!!!
Nobody said.....be yourself.....do whatever your heart says....n mind dictates.....after all i am always there for you!!!!!
They said...they love.....
they said.....they care.....
and i think she believed!!!
they kept walking away......
loving her on their own conditions and clause!!!
she kept pondering over.....
her own loss,faults and flaws!!!
the mind was wise....
but kept singing the baby heart a sweet lullaby......
They care....they care.....they care....
coz it knew the heart will never be able to bear the plight!!!
Shes now never seen smiling with the sky.....
talking with the stars.......
the woman with mind still walks with her head held high.......
she now just smiles but doesn't talk to my lilies nearby!!!
she cares for them and their cares too.....
thus stays mum n keeps passing by!!!
The brook got stagnant.....
the rivers dried......
I saw her killing herself daily......
and alas finally....the lily died!!!

ReplyDeletewell emotionally speaking the theme of the poem is touching... the pain that is portrayed in the woman is remarkable...but skeptically speaking it doesn't go with the title..." Woman with mind" this poem has nothing to do with the intellect... its all about the feminine emotion and tenderness... overall its a good poem and the thing i liked about it was that you could really make the reader feel the trauma and the pain... but on the other hand the poem lost its rhythm at times that was distracting.. and moreover apinch of femininty more could have made me fall for the "woman" ... well all i could say i remarkable work indeed.. you can really dig more of it...
ReplyDeleteThnx 4 d cmnt noble bhaiya....i wil kp dis in mind!
ReplyDeletewell....i dont know it is needed or not....bt still lemme gv u d rsn behind dis title.
ReplyDeleteAcc. to me....wenever ne sort of thot cms in ur heart.....b4 spkng it publically ur hrt always seeks permission or approval frm ur mind....depends upon d kind of prsn u r. nd only if ur mind approves u spk ur hrt.....rarely ppl do so.....they dnt say wt they feel and end up in living a dual life.....the woman of my imagination hs a heart n a mind 2 which always approves her to say watever she feels n act accordingly.....so in dis context it cn b said dat every woman has a heart bt rarely they hv d mind whch approves them 4 spkng dere heart.....thus dis title!
Beautiful.......keep writing
ReplyDeleteall the best
very nice poetry
