Celebrating life!

I believed the ever-elusive happiness would find me when I would receive the mum-in-law’s love, a love that would desperately replace the searing ache I felt when I heard the words Mother’s love. I hoped to finally be cherished you see by someone who would see more than just faults and defects and a table to unburden load upon. I hoped they would see my warmth and recognize the depths of my passion and proudly highlight my achievements instead of disapproving glances. And when this didn’t happen I lost all  hope. And that’s when While wallowing in my misery with the force of a butterfly wing you nudged me and then encased me in the whirwind of your love, my beloved, my paramour, my all – my divine. It was you I had wanted and needed all those years ago and still do. My mine. 

Misfit misjudged abandoned sent away cornered raped left to die, she fought back with every broken bone till she could heal enough to stand on 2 legs and become her own person: SHE.

With faces of stone Seated comfortably where they are Like Ganapati and Siva They declare fates And we the hapless people Are forced to run in circles As per their dictums and laws That make sense alone In a universe they alone know of Till either our backs or our brains Give in And we too join the long que Of those awaiting their fate.
