Slaughter!

Deadline nears….
A voice deep inside cries…
Neither dawn
Nor twilight is mine
My wish to see thy face
Taste thy nectar shalt remain unearned..

I heard thy Brine…Mother mine!
Stealthy shedding in solitude
Pining for my shine...
Ah,Boor designs my fate
Thy prayers and hopes…
In vain !

I leave the world…
Without leaving a mark…
I depart thy womb…
With ache in my heart…
None sensed sting
In thy nidus and my heart!


Whom to blame for my crash?
Destiny’s choice?
Mighty’s wish?
Impotent force?
Monstrous culture
Slaying a gender ?

sorry for this much delayed comment... oops.. i shudnt call it a comment... rather its the compliment... ya..compliment it is.. for the poem is worth more... as i always say... a blog like this is not the canvas for this poem.. this deserves something more... something much much more... i spent hours trying to phish out a mistake here or there..so that i can point to something.. but :( i couldnt find any...! this one is perfect!!!!! keep up the good work...and expecting more such ones.. even if i end up late commenting on it...!!!!

waiting for the next one..!!!!

... a word on teh content...ya.. this is surely meriting a wider canvas of discussion...ya.. people shud take note.. people means. who all..? its not enuf that men shud alone take not of this.. its the society that shud take note.. and that includes women too... women who succumb to the pressures.. the women who are part of hte society that does this murder...
