Curiously cozy

Tucked away in a corner

Engulfed in a story of sorts

My books and I 

Are inseparable consorts 

And those are the perfect days

Of  calm and quiet times

When I read and read some more

Indulging in me-times

Lazy morning of weekends

And late late at nights

Books take me wherever 

In creatively dreamy heights 

An invisible force in-between 

Attachment seeping in

A story holding us together

Like a magnetic pull within 

And I should say this atlas 

With a great well-read peace

Curiously cozy at heart

Books are splendid indeed

I miss those days and I miss you

Waiting in my balcony -waiting for your call

And running downstairs to give you hi-five

Holding your hand and chatting all the way

At school, in the classes and back at home again

Meeting in the square to share all the buzz

And laughing out loud for God only knows what

Caring for each other with all the good and the bad

You were my world - my friend- an angel that I got

So now when we are miles and miles away

I miss you and I miss those days

Athlete

Rise and shine and run and squat

Sweat is swirling yet there is no stop

You set up your mark

And a crisp focus 

A heart of steel

You are an Athlete 

With each breath you take you breath determination

With each leading foot you bleed honored passion

With each muscle fiber and each mitochondria

You are an Athlete - an iron fist

A show of strength with a limitless will

Disciplined mind and commanding seize

A powerful and gracious soul- You are

You are an Athlete

It’s a Beautiful Day- I say

 It’s beautiful day 

I say- it’s a beautiful day

A book in my hand and no one around 

A dull achy sky and a muffled afternoon 

And no care for the world- no plans for the day

It’s a beautiful day - I must say

The slippery rain and house is messy 

Warm cozy blanket makes me even more lousy 

And that’s just perfect -as that’s what I say

It’s a beautiful day

A spiraling mystery with a touch of a romance 

Misty rainfall and a muddy aftermath

Just laying here next to a dull window 

Me and my book and that’s all- I say

It’s a beautiful day

Pressure cooker and Whistle

When we meet with grief and sorrow

Or we feel anger or shame

We feel that uneasy feeling within

And that's when we seek the support that we need

We feel the pain and we share it with others

We cry to release that pent up emotion 

That just feels good ...isn’t that right

As that's the need of that situation

And we feel better as burden is lifted 

And we move forward in our life with grace

But sometimes we feel still stuck inside  

So we talk about it one more time

And then it may just become a pattern

Of building and releasing an emotional cry

And we release that pressure again and again 

Like a pressure cooker with whistle to sigh

Or here is our chance to quickly shift gears

When we bring faith instead of fear

When we know higher purpose exist

And we approach life with an energetic shift

 

No energy is good or bad - we say

Let’s get rid of excess and strengthen the weak

Balance chakras, meridians and bio-energy fields 

Correct the energy flow within

Feel meditative peace and transformation 

As we are an infinite beings

Need to vent vanish as we flow

As we are an infinite beings

No wonder India has high rape rate

 As a daughter you are taught that parents are there for you

As a wife you are taught husband is there for you

As a mother you are taught your son is there for you 

No wonder India has high rape rate

Son doesn't take care of his parents

Who to blame? daughter- in- law

When you don't care for your parent

Who you blame? sister-in-law

When you can't bear a child

Even when the anatomical problem is in your husband

Who society blames? "you" as a wife

And when your husband has an affair

Well, something maybe wrong with You

And when you have an affair

Then something is definitely wrong with you

And just in case if you are not married, you are lesbian or something away from norm

The society wants to "fix" you

It never leaves you to be by yourself to grow-to enjoy- to laugh 

Every step of the way what society "teaches" you

Especially those men and women -who have everything laid perfect for them

Or who pretend to be on some higher moral ground

That You are at fault

 You are the Fault

With each Fear in your mind- You crush your first chakra

With each Guilt that society puts in you- you crush your second chakra

With each shame society puts in you- you crush your third chakra

As Society makes sure it remains that way

Making you some Goddess for name sake

And when you try to stand against these crazy societal norms

It resist you- as its good for Men to have this world just the way it is 

And then you waste your precious life 

Putting make-up on to make sure you look good - in societies eyes

You work hard to make sure you come across strong

As you have to prove to yourself and someone else

That you are worthy

As your worth depends on someone else

No wonder India has high rape rate

Dancing with you

Cardio is not what I want -you know So strength training is what I do Yoga mat and I have a meditation binge I jump on the trampoline slow You come over and start a song on my phone And give me a wicked smile Hold on my hand and bring me close And then we dance in style Man, you are my love and show me some more Will follow your lead all the way Put kids to the bed and whisper slowly While playing some silly game Let’s gossip a bit about our lives While sipping on a hot cocoa Put on that music track back on And let’s dance to the beat some more
