Women

The fume swirls, and her heart burns

Like joss stick, but for words of empathy, she always yearns

Pain and agony sometimes destabilize the mind, but she always gets ready,

To get lost in the labyrinth of a daily grind.

*

Though living in the plethora, still sometimes agony rules

When the clouds of their harsh words fall

The irony of life swirls and twirls

As those words are like thorns, sharp stabbing pains.

*

She swallows bitter-pills though harsh words break her fragile heart,

Still, in its abyss, she keeps the button of a restart

Every day, she wipes her tears in dismay

But make pools of hope and bright rays.

*

Every day on the wings of twilight,

She slowly slides and creeps the night.

Admires the journey, whatever it is from dusk to dawn

And then with a promise, She rises to a beautiful morn.
