Being A Girl

Scared and in her own
Walking on the side
Walking with head down
Just walking on the road

Too shy to look up
Too nervous to share a glimpse
This is how she was brought up
To be proper and be prim
To look down
And not have a voice
To just walk on the road
Shown by others
Just walk in unknown of known

She always feared
Not someone else
But herself
Coz she was aware
Aware of her rising desires
Aware of her persistent thirst
Of knowledge
Of questions
Of reasons
Of whys?
Why was she treated like that?
She was born a girl,
So what?
Being a girl,
Was it that bad?

 Gloomy Girl by chaosbringer99

She knew it was only a matter of time
Her voice will find its way out
Her life will change forever
She may not be able to survive the tyranny
If she did
She may not be able to survive the irony
Of being finally free

So she was scared
For the future
Black or white
Dark or Bright,
Will come only
After a huge battle
A lone war

That she may not survive

Alone But Not

Warm glowing in the heat
The thirst that never quenches
The burn that never burns
She held tight
With all her might
Hoping against hope
To remain united forever
Still longing to be free

Free
To wistfully flow
In the air
To become one with
Many others like her
To be her own lover
But how could she
She was born
Where she is now
She was always the part of it

Together they have seen everything
The heaven falling from the sky
The rains soaking her from inside
The moisture of love
That is eternal
Yet would leave her alone

The white descending from above
Covering her whole being
Erasing any other color
Yet being serene

The orange, the red
The yellow and green
Of beautiful spring
Abundance of love
Though she should be happy
But she remembers being aloof
For spring marks the beginning
The beginning of the end

The warm scorching heat
That feels like a blast
On her face
That fills her with warmth
Enough for her to survive alone
That gives her the signal
It is time to go

With a shock she moves
Fearing she might fall
But the wind carries her in her arms
Taking her to the dream
Where others were waiting
Who were just like her
That’s how she became a part
Of the yellow gold stream..

She was no more
A lone golden leaf



(C) Juztamom

Writer's note: The poem is in the voice of a leaf, which is dreading autumn  and is reminiscing all the seasons gone by. But in the end it cuts the string and becomes one with the golden stream of leaf.

The Road

What holds for us in the future is,
what we build
What we leave behind is,
just foot prints
The road comes from no where
And it leads to no where
It walks with us
We carve it
We build it
we lead it
And finally we leave it


(C) Juztamom

Shared with NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to write a poem for one of the four photographs shared on the website. I have used the above.

Light From Heaven

Shaken by the disbelief of my heart broken
and shattered I ask heavens and hells together
To answer my plea and show me the light, for
I felt lost, left alone in the debris of lost love, bruised
and broken drenched in my own tears and dampen soul


You hold me in your arms, I feel light, as
a feather flowing in the breeze, unknown
of its origin and unaware of its purpose
you guide me to the light inside you

I find me


(C) Juztamom

Shared with NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to write a poem in the form of a curtal sonnet. The curtal sonnet is shorter than the normal sonnet, fourteen line sonnet. Instead it has a first stanza of six lines, followed by a second stanza of four, and then closes with a half-line.

I Run Around

Round and round I run around
In circles

I stop here
I stop there
Not knowing here
Not looking there

The sparkling white
The lovely light
The dancing clowns
The golden browns
In circles

But I don’t stop
And I don’t look
I am walking up
And
Walking down
in circles


The fire in the sky
The beautiful bride
The naked kids
The lonely tides
I pass through them
I look through them
But I don’t stop
And
I don’t look
I just keep my eyes
On the road
And move ahead
In circles

Where am I going?
Who knows?
When will this end?
Who knows?
What I know is that
You told me
I will find you
At the end of this circle
So,
I don’t mind
And
I don’t care
I just walk away
I just walk your way
In circles
Round and round I run around
In circles

The Wall

What divides you from me?
The red sweltering mount
The endless lines of bricks, and
infinite mounds?

Who built it and why?
Did they put a heart inside?
Can it feel our love?
Can’t it feel our pain?
Would it cry if we leave it alone?
Would it wonder in the unknown of,
Loved and lost?
Can it feel the warmth of our souls entwined,
through it?
Can it feel the cold of our tears submerged, and
lost in it?

 File:DickseeRomeoandJuliet.jpg

May be it will start breathing our breaths
May be someday it will come alive with our love
May be someday it will bleed and cry
And call our names
then melt away with the heat of our heart

Uniting our remains

Me

Go ahead define
Put me in your confines
Build a bracket
Draw a line

But I promise you
Everytime
I will defy
If I have to,
Everytime
I will decide
Because I have to


I am not you
Just like you are not me
Don’t step in my shoes
Don’t wear my heels
They are MINE
And only MINE
It can break,
It can hurt
It will break
And it will hurt
But I know
How to get up
How to heal
I don’t need you
Or anyone
To teach me
How to live

I am me
Not you,
I am free
Just like you!

Shared with NaPoWriMo. Just felt like yelling these lines with all my force, on top of my voice. I am glad my pen did it on my behalf.

Questions And Answers

Why can’t I fly you ask?
Oh yes you can sweetheart
Just close your eyes
And open your heart
Your mind is your wings
And your words your arch

Why can’t I float you ask?
Oh yes you can sweetheart
Let go of your reserve
And leave any charade
You will glide like a fish
And float like a bard

Can I be you right now you ask?
No hold on sweetheart!
Why not? I can’t wait to start!
You can be whoever you want to be
But you will be you my love
A little of me, a little of us
But a lot of you
And believe me you is enough

But there is still time for that
There is still time to grow up
You can hold my hand for some more time
You can be just mine for some more time
Be a piece of me for some more time
Till you become you
