By Annette Philipose K
I am a woman
Made of Earth and Fire
Born with an immeasurable soul
Abandoned to name my own destiny
Mysterious? Creative!
The author of countless tales
And endless sacrifices
I have shrunken the universe to my bosoms...
Tasting the sweet and bitter fruits thrown along my path.
I am a goddess and a paradise
My divine walk blessed and royal
When mechanics of my brain arise...
I believe and fulfil thoughts.
Like the waning and waxing moon I infuse surprises into this tricky world.
I am a woman
I have dreams...
Fearless and mesmerized by the senses
So sublime than worldly norms
Desires like strong wings persists throughout my life.
Yet, I am so fragile when caught in the web of confusion, emotion and pain.
Yes, I am a woman
Moulded by years of struggles, thorns and shattered ruins
But proud in her ways and adorned by roses
My consciousness so tender and complex
Patiently comprehends that...
Whether it's a calm sea or a strong tide
Sail through the solace and turbulent waves
Because you are a woman made of Earth and Fire.
