Meera Baasuri May 2020
The waves of sorrow lash against me
As I stand deserted, forlorn
The waves foam ashore the thorny memories
Of my afflicted yesteryears in agony
The sores of my grim past pulses with a keener sting
The solitude beckons me to its lap
It offers solace and refuge in its eternity
As I wait to embrace the solitude.
Suddenly the balmy breeze soothes and blows by
The fatigued sun is all set to merge with the sea
As it waves its hands to plunge in a slumber
Could I wish to see another daylight
Arising out of the sea with the day of hope and happiness?
Meera Baasuri May 2020
Children; the droplets of love
showered on Earth from God's abode
dampening the barren earth
breeding flora in the arid, dreary life

Children; the tiny buds
blooming out into vibrant, gaily flowers
disseminating the aroma of their sweetness, mirth and charm all around.

Children; the foamy waves
Sweeping away the rubble of melancholy
surfing ashore the waves of delight.
Children; the diverse colourful kites
soaring high, unbridled
piercing into the boundless firmament

Children; the luminous constellation of stars
shimmering in the darkness of vicious world
They mend our broken wings of despair
festoon our bleaky visions with
myriad hues of bright dreams
spinning a unique fabric of life
Of unique shapes and patterns

Children; the spring of life
fostering lush foliage
chirping, singing the euphony of
melifluous song of peace
joy and love all around the world
Children; the perpetual harbingers of perennial happiness.
Trailing the indelible imprints of
God's miraculous, marvellous angels on Earth
Meera Baasuri May 2020
The waves of peace stroke her feet now
Balms her to the shore of tranquilty;
Caught in the entanglement of solitude
Swayed by the slings and arrows of  outrageous fortunes of a miserable life
She sailed in the sea of turbulence
Wrecked into pieces by the storm of ill-fate
Of persistent misfortunes and hardships
But the sea as a saviour refuged her
In its abode of silence in darkness
It cradled her with its fathomless love
She felt its hands entwining to shield her
The din of the world out there beckons her
Reminding of her ******* to the material life
Bound by wealth, relations and commitment
Who doesn't know the fragility of worldly life?
The empty, barren life which is a monotony;
A servitude of persistent economic drudgery,
Slavery of fidelity in marriage, struggles of motherhood, battle of survival amidst subjugation and *******, the exploitation of naive and untainted people by the wicked souls.
Lashed by her own insecurities and fears
Of constant abuses , she shrinks into darkness, nurturing her bitter memories of the past when her feminity was slaughtered
She realizes that life is an endless labyrinth with no way out
An unsolved riddle with no clues
A language  she can barely understand
Caught in a maze of perplexities of harsh fate of life
She delved for a way of light, hope and peace.
She finally chose her serenity in the deep sea
In its eternity, unperished,uninhabited,
By the assault of the bustling, monstrous world
To lie in peace and happiness forever

— The End —
