Life is Short & Sweet

She is trying to be a daughter of her father’s wish and act according to his flowchart And a sister of her brother’s wish and offers him the toys that she loved the most A lovely wife of her husband’s wish, satisfying all his needs, forgetting hers But she really wishes to be a man, even in her next birth and to be himself and live for himself -Athira M. K.

Gentle breeze Countless stars Yet another dinner as in the daily routine chart.  Most things are predictable  in that school apart from the feelings that rush through the minds. I waited for him under the shady tree which hides me from the fluorescent lamp. And I remained hidden throughout my life.  -Athira M. K.

Colored kites flew over the sky, Coloring the curious petite minds. Waves taken away the castle, making The child architect glared in return. A gang of teens sensed the saltiness, When the sea had put them down. All the impressions left in them But neither in the sand nor in the water. He lied on the sand facing the sun She sat aside, and leaned forward Shielding the sun falling on his face. They walked along the shore Hand in hand supporting each other In their retired life. All are going through ages, having changes Only the sea remains eternal, Changeless watching the changes. -Athira M. K. #my first poem
