Why does it still hurt?

-



Unspoken words,
screaming loudly.
Unflinching gaze,
piercing through.
The soul stirs,
broken as it is,
as i witness the 
monster in you...

I try to hold him,
pacify and sooth,
words fall out
shallow and curt,
Monster raises its
ugly head again,
I wonder to myself,
why does it still hurt?

I wonder why can't 
i let you go,
Despite the hurt and 
emotional pain,
I find my answer
as i gaze back,
Behind the monster
i see you and your love
and its still the same!

    There are times poetry stares back at you as you stare at the lines. Something stirs in you and you can't tell what it is. The words swirl with the answer yet hold it back from you. Face of love lurking behind the monster? Come, tear me apart and let us be at peace!

    Yeah, we look even at the tiniest ray of love and care. Isn't hard to be with such a person?

      It is! But the time when the monster is asleep and the human awake, its worth it!Unless and until the monster hurts you!Then you just get up and leave!

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
