SMOULDERING OR IGNITING.

 SMOULDERING OR IGNITING.

Inserting wood in earthen stove

The girl tries to burn it

But instead of igniting

It just smoulders

 

Holding breath in mouth 

And releasing it like pipe

Tries to lit fire again

So that making some chapatis

Could be managed

Or else father will 

Yell at her mother.

 

The dame observes wood

Well acquainted with its fate

Either it has to ignite

Or to smoulder

At that very moment 

Two pearls

Flow on her cheeks 

Due to smoke caused by 

Fire-band

Which she wipes with

Edge of her Odhni 


What is her ultimate fate

Get burnt or 

Decipher her new fate

Sprouting from revolt.

She ponders over it.

Girl of today

Will have to think

For tomorrow.

    Insightful to think how the females have so much to bear and her tears become pearls of wisdom the women have come so far and rightfully so freedom from being chained to an ideal is the hardest yet rewarding journey you will take
    Thank you for the Trans.
    Thank you

VINCENT VAN GOG  AUTHOR SPEAKS: KAVI ANURAG ******************************** IN CONTEXT OF THE POETRY BOOK  'BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH' ' (RECOLLECTING OBLIETRATED') ******************************************************************************** The world is rich with many great artists who are remembered for providing new heights to art, on dint of their original, distinct skills. But Vincent Van Gogh holds a distinct status. He is remembered as much for his contribution to Painting as for his sacrifice and dedication towards Art. In spite of sufferings, agony and failures on every step pf life, he was always associated with colors and canvas, even during his lunacy. Not even for a single moment, he nurtured any doubt for Art. His craze for art provides energy and vigour to the artists even in present times.
