FREE FALL!!

With a baggage of two
Standing in a queue
Far away from home
In the rain all alone
I entered in a new zone
Full of unknowns.

I can see an empty room
Having silence with boom
Furniture with smell of wood
Everything seems to be good
Walls calling my name
Loose and shiny window pane

Little quiet and belligerent
From my past and present
A bit excited and half dull
Having hopes on full
Then we became friends
And the saga never ends.

Walking together in garden
Talking anything at random
You restored my faith
I would do anything to stay
Holding the ends of trust
This will never get rust.

We share, we hide
Every time on each other’s side
We giggle, we laugh
We hate, well love
From different blood line
We are sisters so fine.

We fight, we cry
All nonsense we try
My mistakes & your painful affection
I am safe in aura of your protection
My stupid ideas you always hear
My tantrums only you can bear

Running breathless in corridor
When we tease more
Punching and pillow fight
Entangled sleep at night.
A cup of coffee with marshmallow
Leaving smooth sweetness below.

We borrow, we gift
Each others morale we uplift.
We argue, we forget
We care for the best.
Forgive me if I ever hurt you
Believe me I never meant to.

That sweet sisterly kiss
My hair you caress
That huge bear hug
Will always have a tug
We'll not be next doors after few days
But we'll be together in our own ways.

Remember that you are awesome
May you get enormous stardom
Wherever we'll be
On earth or in the sea
Always be in touch
Because I'll miss you much.

SUMMARY:

Ahaan!! These lines drift out my entire life at hostel and this poem is dedicated to my beloved friend Krati who loves me a lot and I too love her with my whole heart. It interprets how I got enrolled to the hostel, shifted with my luggage in a place where I don’t know even a single person. It was difficult for me to adjust myself in such environment because before I stepped into the college I had black clouds over my head. I was in trauma and I could not afford to leave my parents alone and living alone between strange faces. I didn’t want to talk to anyone but she held me so tightly that I could not escape from her grip.

The hostel was newly constructed with fresh furniture. I was excited because my college life had just begun, but I was bit sad because of the black clouds over my head. She retained my faith in the almighty and I am so thankful to her for that. I have ultimate trust on her and I know this time I am in safe hands, I have no worries, no insecurity nothing because we are ahead that barrier. I am proud to call her my sister from another mother.

We fight playfully and she tolerates all my tantrums without any complaints. It’s impossible for me to hide something from her; no matter what it is a lie, a gift, tears, happiness. I remember the days when we used to run like PT Usha in corridors as an attempt to protect from getting a hit. Having a classic Nescafe with a marshmallow in winters at mid night gives an awesome feeling.

I am grateful to her because she always and always believes in me which makes me more confident. That sweet kiss and a tight hug just makes my day, I love it when she caress my hair it makes me feel drowsy and relaxes my mind.

I just wish we don’t lose contact after moving out of the hostel like others do. I simply wish that. Because I am habitual of being near to her now. Anyways! She is the best and I know I will do anything be stay in touch. Love to her.

BEING A GIRL TO A LADY

As inactive as a seed
Enormous care I need
Blossoming like a flower
Flowing free in the breeze

Enjoying the freedom
Playing games of ton
Suddenly I am now a ripe fruit
which can fall on the ground

Little scared and terrified
when I got red mark on my pure side
Unable to think under shame
Why my wings got colored?

I wish I was told about it
I would be prepared and rigid
But I am loving the curves
But I am hating "EVERYTHING"

I have to be conscious and bear the cramp
I have to quit and sit in damp
Restricted to some places
Again, as inactive as a seed

Breeze came along a symphony

I am blessed to pave a progeny

Blessed to bear a seed inside me

Blessed to nurture a life.

No! I am not an impure thing
New feathers are added to my pure wings
Wrapping and dumping the waste
Cleanliness is just to be maintained

Give space to these wings to spread
Never ever give any threat
Garden this lovely flower
otherwise it will get wilt.

 

SUMMARY:

In the introductory stanza the seed signifies the zygote or an infant who needs care and love to grow into a beautiful flower, where flower refers to a girl child who is free to explore the world.
The second stanza communicates the freedom of the girl child who can play in the streets with other kids. And then, one day that flower becomes a sweet fruit. Here the fruit refers to an adolescent girl whose confidence is going to demolish.
The third stanza reflects the fear of the girl when she sees a patch on her pure side, here pure tells us about the white color. The girl is unable to identify the reason or think because she is under the cover of shame.
The fourth stanza tells us that if the girl was educated about it then it would have helped her in better way. Though she loves her new body curves but she also hates everything around her. This loving and hating fluctuation signifies the mood swing of an adolescent.
The fifth stanza transmits the consciousness of the girl and the pain she have to bear. The sadness surrounds her because she have to quit playing and going into kitchen (as per a myth). She is again as inactive as seed that is she is just sitting in damp doing nothing.

In the sixth stanza the change come along the breeze and the girl realizes that she is blessed to give birth to a new life, to pave a progeny.
The seventh stanza invokes the consciousness of the girl that she is not impure rather she is now becoming a lady with new wings of femininity. In other to maintain this femininity she just has to keep herself clean.
The concluding stanza gives a message to the society and also to that girl. The message says that freedom should be given to every girl in adolescent age to explore the world. They should not be restricted to places, playing games, etc. The girl should be loved to an extent to prevent her from withering.
