An accurate mind once said,
“That’s not a very womanly thought.”
Grammatical accuracy was busy comprehending
And inquisitive mind blurted out,
“Thoughts have gender?”

Words
Weighing words
Before spoken,
Insignificant.
Sometimes, when we are lost in the security of our mind or caught in the unknown space of absent thoughts, a friend or a stranger walks into our sanctuary with a simple, ordinary conversation. At times, we don’t realise, how we comprehend our thoughts and spoken words leave in a jiffy.

Mother
Mother,
When I sit to write,
I’ve words that assemble gently ,
at times with an unknown assertion.
Each one a sentence,
Pages to many short stories.
Selfless and unconditional
Words of love and care,
Spiritual and emotional milieu;
Oscillating between a situational teacher ,
Otherwise a friend;
Lessons unplanned yet taught,
Each one a description.
From your scribbled recipes
And shared values of tradition,
There’s never a day without references;
I seem not to have grown any bigger.
But, I like it when said,
I look like you.
