MADHUMITA SINHA

When I Am Gone .....

There will be a time

When every poem I write

I shall leave them all behind

Even if I am gone far

I will look down as a bright star

You will find me through my poems

The innumerable pages of my diaries

You will know me like never before

When you read me through my verses

You will find me in everything around

Everything that I touched

And that which touched me in turn

Read me through my dreams,

my aspirations, my world

Read my verses loudly

So that I can hear them clearly

Each of my poetries will tell you about me

Someone you would have not known truly!

Woman-She The Warrior

In the journey of her life as  a woman

She started with a smooth sail

In the calm waves of vast sea

The sea , where she had her family

Protective parents and loving sibling

Life was happy and joyful always shining

Little did she know about her destiny

The storms which were in store in future

As a loving daughter and a sister

She was the pride of the family

A lovely lady with beauty and brains

Then came the time in her life

When she wished to touch the shore

with her Prince Charming

With loads of dreams to make her home

In the sands of contentment

But all love stories don’t end up in fairy tales

Few unfortunate stories hit the tumultuous storms

At the age of 23 with big dreams

Of happiness and love

She is hit by the ugly reality

Falling flat from the fantasy world

The world of shocking truths

Doomed to drown herself

In sadness and depression

She remained as a woman

Caged in suffering and pain

Living life of abuse and humiliation

She had no one to fall back

Life looked meaningless and dark

When she suddenly realised that

Her inner soul was still alive

And if she rises to the occasion

She can change her destiny

She didn’t want to die like a coward

Nor did she want go through the torture

She finally decided to fight her demons

Because she knew if she tried

She can surely conquer all fears

Dejected, broken and depressed

Still with the WILL to start her life afresh

She rises and takes the courage to fight out

To walk out of the hell

To breathe freely once again

Today many years later

She is a symbol of strength

An inspiration for many

Having fought her battles alone

She has uncountable scars and bruises

Which still remind her of her struggles

But now she looks at them as her milestones

She is ready to take the flight of fantasy

Touching the stars as she succeeds in all her endeavours

She is the woman who lives her life on her terms

Only that she is on her way to break free

With an immense pride and glee!
