Ah!

Ah !

how I relish

the silence between us

that speaks

a thousand words

Advertisements

it’s all in the mind!

I may have aged

but

in my heart

I will always be

a young girl

live dream achieve

go, leave

make a life for yourself

live dream achieve

say those words to the world

thanking us

your parents …

…visit the home

when we are old or gone

tell all

we meant the world to you

but

no one will know

how each minute of our lives

we missed

you being with us

her avatar

a simple metal pendant

faded red lips

sun tanned skin

old sari

chipped nails

discoloured nail paint

threadbare shawl

but those eyes

looking around

for someone

who would

like her

in that avatar

un-beautiful

it evolved slowly

or the mindset changed

of beauty

for

I was un-beautiful before

and then

one day

it changed 

no love

can you

ever

love the one

who

eons ago

bruised your body and mind

in love with myself

I have loved others

to the point of madness

but

now is the time

to fall in love

with myself
