Poetry

Womanly associations

Nikita Vijay Lakkundi

Gentle
Pure
Divine
A "Kollam" is everything a woman is
...
How's do I know an Indian women isn't home?
Just notice the drawings on her doorstep and you'll know...
She left an "om" in hurry
Ignoring the urge to draw a few more flowers..

Flowers... Another sight for sore eyes
I never realized the power flowers have
To spread peace amidst chaos
Especially the lotus
Born amidst chaos
Born amidst dirt
Born amidst the harshest conditions
To survive and to multiply it wore its "hollows" like a jewel
To thrive in the dirt
It grew a. Little more taller
More slender
More lighter
And bloomed in my hands finally
To make my day happy and calm
And finally
Gentle
Pure
Divine
A lotus is everything a woman sometimes wants to be...
