The Vertical Limit

They asks me
You you want to scale heights?
I will smile clandestinely
and tell "I love to"
But the truth is not so simple.

I seek vertical limits
since no lateral ways exist
I am not strong enough to
create one to go
Easiest way is up and up.

When the chains tie up
the limbs, I can only

Go up up and up

not looking sideways, its constrained.

When I bleed

When my muscles crush,

I wish I could get a massage.

I imagine a friend

Who will pat my body
with his magic fingers
around my waist
and relieve the pain
from the muscles around.

This is the only time
I feel  less stronger
than the male counterparts
Can feel their muscle power
crushing me around
And fells un powered
I envoy the strong muscles
and the carefreeness.

And when body ached,
My crushing muscles
longed the finger touch of
My partner on my stomach
But it was only a dream.
For my periods
has remained till now
A private affair.

Once Upon a Time there Lived a Girl

Once Upon a Time there Lived a Girl
who dared to eat the forbidden fruit

For her that fruit was her birth right
to question and think out loud
She asked why and why not
But was told to shut her mouth

Will any girls questions elders?
Will any girls hurt men even if
They are harassing you?
Will any girl climb the trees
and play the boy's games?
Come inside here are the dolls
and books for you.
Will any girl participate in sports
Mind it will hurt your soft body
Protect your body, its your duty.

But would she have seen this world,
if she hadn't ate that fruit?
She would have been comfortable
with her partner and the nature
But what is the life - without
joy, sad, fear, excitement and fun
And what else is above the feel
of exercising your own freedom?

The Lone Traveller

I asked him how was the day
His tired voice told it was hectic
He reclined on sofa and his
eyes was getting closed in a nap
I thought, I can share my plans
along with the tea
About an exciting weekend in planning
But with tea in one hand and
mobile phone in other, he
was busy in calls
I thought we can watch a movie
together in quite night
But he came late night
home after the work
Finally when I told
that I want to travel
He told in tired voice,
I am not coming you go
I looked at him in despair
And at the two shoes I
kept ready and the two
back packs waiting eagerly
And back again to his eyes
It has gone to sleep
What can I do now?
Travel alone - it is my destiny
Nobody will be there to
travel your life dear,
you have to walk alone
the difficult paths
Quietly I took the shoes
and wore them;
secured the backpack
Came back to kiss on
his forehead and whispered a bye
Here starts the journey of
a lonely traveller
through the lesser known paths

Hey Krishna

 Krishna, 

Please come to me tonight 

Holding your divine flute

Soak me up in your enchanting music 

Let me loose myself and dissolve.

This night, I want to dance

Forgetting myself in your love.

Let the time stop before us,

For I want to be beside you forever. 

Doing nothing, simply adoring 

Krishna, your magical caring

Just the glow in your eyes

Wondering what they whisper.

To just be in your presence 

How long I am longing for this.

Oh Krishna

At least this Sharad Purnima

Please come searching for me

Drench me in your Raas Leela

For, I wish to loose myself again.
