hi guys,
i had written some poems a year before when the famous delhi gangrape had happened. i was very moved with the young girl's struggle with life and her bravery in dealing with the repercussions...sigh...well now a year has happened and i feel like i should respect her for her brief but courageous struggle...so here is a poem dedicated to not only her but all other victims of abuse, rape and torture...
so, here goes nothing...:)

There he was standing before me

In his hand a book and a cup of tea

He kept those aside and edged a little close

I smiled and took it as a friendly dose

But then he took my hands in his

And tried to force me into a kiss

Shocked and startled i pulled away

Only to realize i was blocked in everyway

He stepped forward, murder in his eyes

I tried to escape inspite of useless tries

Even then for my respect i fought

But i was his prey, bound to be caught

He held me and touched me hard and wrong

I cried out in pain and screamed loud and long

For someone to help and someone to come

He covered my mouth and kept me mum

He ripped and wrecked and hurt my heart

I gave up and let him finish his start

At last he stood up and smiled and evil grin

He kicked my bare body ecstatic on his win

I lay there low a while after we went

Not crying, not speaking, not knowing what this meant

Was this the punishment for being a female?

Were we really that weak before a male?

Was there no respect for us at all?

Was there no one to help me after this fall?

All l my happiness, liveliness was it all gone?

Or could i forget and move on?

Those horrible images were still etched in my mind

Yet the answers to these questions i wanted to find

And prove to myself and others suffering this way

That a rapist could NEVER escape and get away.


i know it is a sad poem... but i tried to end it on a positive note...hope u guys like it!!

And here is another one...it is just a random thought but it is sad too...

ME AND MY LONELINESS

I hold my open arms

Empty and bare

In hope of holding you

With love and care

But the cold and hatred

Still haunts me time to time

The day i lost you

Reminds me of my crime

It was a market place

Filled with crowd

People pushing everywhere

Too busy, too loud

Your tiny hand squashed in mine

As we tried to find our way

You couldn't keep up with the rush

On that dreadful day

Your hand lost mine

And i kept running on

Not once looking back to see

Where you had gone

Bot soon i stopped to turn and look

And i found no one

Horrified and frightened

I searched for my only son

I searched and searched

But could not find

A single sight of you

Fear and terror

Gripped my mind

As i continued to search for you

Alas, i gave up and sat

Down on the floor and cried

I could not remove the guilt

From my heart however hard i tried

And even today...

I hold my open arms

Empty and bare

In hope of holding you

With love and care

But the cold and hatred

Still haunts me time to time

The day i lost you

Still reminds me of my crime


let me know what you guys think...!!!!😛
