MOONLIGHT AND DREAMZ

Welcome to my world of dreams where imagination and reality, fancy and truth, laughter and tears move hand in hand. I will let you have a glimpse at the share of my own sky, sometimes sunshine bright, and sometimes with rainstorm. I will take you to memories that are like a serene glow of moonlight, a whisper of mountain breeze, and a rushing gushing brook.

    Surpanakha's soliloquy

    My much-loved friend,
    my most despised friend! 


    We loved the same man
    rightfully yours and
    oh so wrongly mine!
    It's a chance that you stood
    behind the protected zone of
    the lakshman rekha and I
    on the neglected other!
    But you became the Goddess
    and I the whore!

    Your unwavering love
    became his support
    and my unconditional one
    his deepest secret!
    My dearest friend,
    my most despised friend,
    I weep for both of us.
    Your silent scream matches mine
    my darling sister
    my most hated sister
    we are each other’s hidden secrets
    we are each other’s secret pain.
    I cry for both of us
    for the life that gradually drips away
    from your fingers
    and the illusory one that I struggle
    to hold in my palm,
    we the beloved and the betrayed
    you the Goddess and
    I the whore
    we are the She;
    day dawns the same for you and me.

    :)I really liked the way you have used " lakshmanrekha ( a Hindi Phrase). Rarely do we get to see such a rare and beautiful combination of Hindi and English poetry.

    You have described a very painful situation so vividly. Your closing lines are especially powerful.

    Powerful poem about two women loving same man. You have expressed the feelings of "the wrong one" beautifully. The last sentence shines brightly. Women who love are no whores; a woman who is married to a man just for his money IS the Queen of Whores to me.
    A hug and Happy New Year.
    :)
