New Dawn, New Blooms by Angel Mary | A Poem

Part of What is a Woman?  Series CHAIN UP NOT, WOMAN! By Bindu Unnikrishnan Break free of the invisible chain, Oh woman! you too are born to fly! Look at the strong wings you got, you might as well explore the sky. The tenderness you show, the warmth you exude You deserve the same, and of course, some respite Breathe some, for the laundry can wait, it is your monotonous life that needs the spice. Walk few steps, dance few more, listen to your heart, if it wants some more In this lovely weather, leave that chore, bask in the sunshine which men adore. Let him pack your picnic bag, while you go for a swim, or trek for a while, Let that dinner be a surprise for you, the way you always did for him with a smile.. Chop that hair and style it through, don’t keep it long ’coz he told you to, Wear the colour you always want, without conforming to your clan. It is difficult to be always righteous and true, you can be sometimes vulnerable too. Let the tears flow and make you light, the smile w...

Weeping Willow by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

With the outer attire; comes the inner soul. It's the appearance of mine Which makes people think of me in their days of gloom. The dead shady leaves hanging down, Carrying the weight of people judging around. A moment then comes! Portraying the divine purity of nature, A strike of reaching cloud 9! Taking me apart from the worldly chaos; A cold breeze flows taking away all my sorrows. Fluttering my dead leaves; a beautiful hope it fills. Here comes another moment! Leaving nothing to lament Striking the garden clock 11:11 I realised The awakening was straight from heaven Wiping away my sorrows, Saying goodbye to my days of gloom A ray of delight began to bloom. People still think I'm weeping Little do they know Happiness is what I'm keeping. Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer of human thoughts and emotions. Her poetic style is as unique as every existing star in the Universe. She believes embracing every existing and ...
