I am not my body, I am my soul.
I am not my body, I’m much more.

I am not the ice creams, that find their way to my thighs,
I am not a thing to be objectified.

I am not the pimples scattered across my face like an unaligned constellation,
I am not bound to always provide you satisfaction.

I am not the stretch marks that you so playfully shun,
I may not always be finished when you are done.

I am not just a pair of *******,
I am a hurl of emotions in a tempest.

I am not just another juicy ***,
Think twice before you say another condescending sentence.

I am the moon the sun and the stars freely dancing to the rhythm of the wind,
I am the flowers blossoming in the season of spring.

I am love and heartbreak art and music ,
I am the glimmer in your eye and the comfort when you fall sick.

I am the eye of a hurricane,
And the celebratory glass of champagne.

&
My body is a temple
A place of worship

A story of two
lovers from past,
I write to you
of a love that didn’t last.

Estranged & aghast
In an alien land,
A memory of past
their footprints on sand.

Every crashing wave
carries the last shreds of their reflections,
As their fractions float
on the swirls of the Oceans.

Their dying wish
to reunite,
To be greeted again
with arms open wide.

But the universe
had plans written ahead of time,
They wished to be together
but fate wasn’t as kind.

I still remember that mid-summer night,
I sat up whole night writing,
Of a lovers unrequited plight.

The morning dew kisses
Yearning leaves,
As the first rays of the sun
Bring me relief.
Flowers bloom
In the month of March,
Chirping birds hum
rhythms that recharge.
And with the first sight
of your arching face,
I fall back into
teen ways.

You spill magic all around,
By your allure I’m spell bound.
Your words work like elixir on me,
Filling me with inexpressible glee.
You make me your marionette in an instant,
From a 22 year old girl, I follow you like an infant.
Your touch leaves me frozen to the ground,
I want to know , if I’ll ever be more than just your rebound ?

Soaring eyes meet,
In a moments fleet.
Butterflies & hurricanes,
In my heart’s adjacent veins.
Then came the whirlwind of emotions,
Each with their own set of notions.
We lay together cheek to cheek,
Dread our formers as our souls squeak.
He struck me on my Achilles heel,
A fool in love I thought it was real.
My pillow is drenched in tears tonight,
Meekly wishing we’d reunite.
Condemned to the fate of Sisyphus,
I carry my heart uphill in a muss.
Only to twirl it back up all over,
Hoping for you to someday discern my manoeuvre.

She needs no help,
She’s enough for herself.
She stands tall,
She’s her all.

She’s going to come out strong,
She will prove your chauvinism wrong.
She will plant flowers in barren land,
You’ll regret making her feel like she’s secondhand.


She will wear a halo so bright; you’ll need an extra pair of eyes.
She will claim her winning prize, while you beg and apologize.
And now to summarize,
She’s strong, independent and wise; you should probably try to compromise.
Or find a suitable disguise and this is my last piece of advice
pragya santani Mar 2019
We spoke of wishes
And past regrets,
Of friendships gained
And our favourite cigarettes.
We spoke of dreams
We’d soon forget,
Of lovers lost in
Our midnight bed.
We spoke of hearts
And the letters we dread,
Of how we still yearn
The things they said.
We spoke of wonders
And the magic above,
But most of all
We spoke of love.
