I Smile.

Women -as we are!

I Smile.

I burn my body to ashes

But my conscience savors and yearns

I rot amidst my own ashes

But my soul transpires beyond the patriarchal tavern.

I burn and I smile

Beyond my submissive rage

For I have no dreams

Only a small selfish realm.

I burn and I smile

Even from my ashes, when he rise

Drowning me beneath my own existence

Setting my red hair- aflame.

I burn and I smile

From among the quivering ashes

Subsiding, submerging- dying

O God- Can I please cease the smile?

  Thanks so much. Honestly, I had my reservations about the last line. However, being my favourite too, I didn’t change it. Glad someone likes it.

This is so absolutely brilliant and beautiful Moushmi! The willingness to rise and shine is a measure of strength and the pain behind the smile that is held day to day is so evident. Indeed it takes a fire burning within for this.
