This is Where She is Meant to Be!

 © Shilpa Sandesh,

 Those dungeons of sorrow,
And the darkness of ill fate,
The fowl whiff of burning hopes,
And those blazing hollow lands;
Exhausted and stressed,
Trying arduously to strut,
Her destiny drags her back.

 What are those glittering somethings?
She espied some glimmers,
How happy must she be!
Running breathlessly,
Hastening wheezily,
To get hold of,
those glistening objects.

 She perceived them to be,
the stars of happiness,
Least did she know,
Those were the memories,
the remnants of which lay scattered;
The impressions so beguiling,
So beauteous,
So gleaming,
That even the pieces,
lay twinkling all over!

 'Oh! Where are you?'
Says she,
'Hold my hand'
She pleaded,
'Pull me out of this fury'
She cried,
But her voice was unheard.

 Repressed and downtrodden,
by her destiny,
She laughed hysterically,
'I am no princess,
and there is no Savior,
No prince of the distant lands,
Would come to rescue me
This fiery land is my home,
This is where I am meant to be!'

The Feet in Blood !

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Her gaze is set, At the wide spread ahead, Lights glimmer, Racing motors on the road, And noises undefined, From far away; But no landscape can collate, With the bruised patches, in her heart; No motors are at par, With the speed of her hastening thoughts, And no clangor as loud, As the shrieks of her caged soul; Blaming is like, Plucking the petals,  of a blossoming flower, To take the blames, Is like being pushed, To walk bare foot on thorns; It's a puzzle, it's a jumble, Her inner self is, Disarrayed, cluttered,  It's a muddle; Those moments are no more, When she was, Besotting to his eyes; When her tears made his eyes wet, When seeing her in pain, His heart ached; She is a reflection, Of the fate's rebound, In the broken mirror; She walks, On the scattered glasses, And Oh! My feet are in blood!

A Puppet

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Born a free soul, With wings to fly, Bound she stands, Entwined in compromises Tethered are her hands with the strings of liabilities, Muddled are her steps, in the lashes of limits and boundaries; She loved once , with all her heart, The tenderness and fondness, that's doomed today; She smiles when she's sad, And cries when happy; The tiny wonder, Is her sole sustenance, All that she has won, as the fruit of love; An emotional fool, And destiny's blunder, She calls herself, The hell's wonder; She craves for that warmth, that unconditional love, A whim for those vows, a desire for that embrace, And, In the hands of time, A puppet she is, In the fate's haze!

My Brave Knight

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Handsome and pleasing, Like some prince, In a lore, A striking sight, He's my brave knight; Sanguine and certain, Commanding and sturdy, furious yet calm, Like the glistening sun, And the stars so bright, He's my brave knight; A warm embrace, A gentle heart, Resolute and steadfast, Aiming the dart, With a scrupulous sight, He's my brave knight; Audacious and fearless, Valiant in the stormy winds, And the winter's chill, The searing sun, Or the rainy nights, He dauntlessly steps forth, Heroic he is, He's my brave knight.
