Unbeaten

Women care Birthing Suite at Fortis Hospitals, a photo by fortisHosp on Flickr.

Had enough crying
Had enough complaining
Got to stand up
Got to be a woman
Unbeaten by tragedy
Won’t die with pain
Meant to bear the aches
Conceiving a child
In midst of pain
An ultimate joy
On arrival of ones kin
So nothing can beat a woman
As she can stir her pain
So here I am a woman
Unbeaten by tragedy

Keep Smiling

Its not falling that keeps us courageous  

It is smiling that behold us

Its not tears that speaks for our sadness

It is smiling beyond our pain and tears

Then comes the voice of anger on a double rages  

It is smiling that hold us against our weakness

Thoughts of revenge submits

Within the spells of forgiveness

Yet the heart does not  forget the trails

It can not help it but being cautious  

But bravely smiling to uplift us  

Parading true colours 

Life is over-daring; one has to stand beating falls 

We keep smiling to keep us simply courageous

Enough of Fake Tears

Golden tears, a photo by andrea francesco on Flickr.

Hush….
Don’t spill crocodile tears
I’m no longer moved
I’m no longer torn apart
This woman is done with your lies
You are dead and gone in my heart
So where are you positioned
A history with lessons vigorously learned
Trig all your threats
Nothing pierces this heart
Once again, hear it from me
I have fallen deaf to your lies
Now turn around: Head back to where you came
You are dead and gone in my heart
Your chapter forever closed

Wordless Poetry


Wanted to write since I was in hospital but not getting the time to pin my thoughts. I'm grateful for the life that I have. I'm grateful for miracles that I'm seeing every day, the simplest one blessings through the hard times and acknowledgment that no one is immune in facing trenches of life.
I'm also learning many other aspects of life, the main one is motherhood. Here I am a mother of two now with a baby girl about to be two years old and a 20 days old baby boy. I come to appreciate motherhood, as the journey that shuffles in many ways at time it is not easy ride. Hope I can do my best of it, in teaching them good values, tolerance in life, respect and humanity but above all acceptance of who they are and willingness to learn lessons of life as they ride its waves.


So if someone asks me where am I now? My answer will be, still trying to be a poet, a student of life and motherhood and here I am reshuffling my life one step at a time.
So where is poetry here, it is the magical weaves of living creating

~Sentence on Woman~

Judge hammer, a photo by ssalonso on Flickr.

Sometime the life that I am in
It does not suit me
Beliefs and attitude seem to be so strange
So at times I’m so angry at our womanhood
How come we as women accept it, to be battered?
To be abused or used and agree it is a women fate
I wonder why womanhood is a fragile being
Then our fate are doomed or judged by those
Never lived in women’s shell
Or felt the anguish of a woman
Then we see him standing as a judge
With a sentence on a woman’s fate
