🌷 Being in teens…


🌷 Being in teens...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Being in teens with dreaming eyes
One remembers all of those stories...

D mountains look lovely from far
From near they're rough n bizarre

Behind closed doors we were scared
It was hard to face d voice in d head

Tracing d dying flame of d fire
That once we carried within desire

Often Der's a witness-like-feeling
From outside as if, we're watching

A time when One was a teenager,
Lying awake at night, thrilled n eager

Praying to make us adult overnight,
So it'll make sense of everything right

Adults do look sorted n kind of free.
Thought they resembled a huge tree

Then, we knew what exactly we wanted
Teenagers R pretty clear sighted

But nobody around seemed to get it.
They dismissed dreams n plans forthright

We thought let's pray n wait.
Until we'd grow up n reach an adult-age

Then they’ll respect whatever we’d say
Hence One started counting d days

As if waiting for a trip that was a dream
Once we get there, all will fall into place

All our questions will have answers,
We’ll be free to make our own choices,

N money won’t be such a big deal
Becuz One’ll be in charge of d life

Then years passed by, with hope in mind
Finally we got in d gear to face d world

Things started to feel off, with dizziness
We didn’t see coming, how it’s senseless

It’s nothing like what we had pictured
We’re not at all excited but totally bored

Truth is simpler, crueler than One thought
Growing up won’t give clarity of life either

Being teenager it truly complicates more
Though passionate, our ideas were clear

Though we didn’t know d outside-world,
But then we understood our-own-world

Teen-ager-rage n opinions that burned
Parents always got our heads covered

N that alone felt like pretty enough.
Now rain is constant but Der's No cover

One's expression used to be d power
Now feels pointless like a collapsed tower

Caught in our two versions that stare
We're not sure which one we miss more

  • 🌷शिकवा…

    हर इन्सान काफ़ी कुछ सोचता रहता है…पर वर्तमान छोड़े समय पर काबू कहां है…रौशनी अगर गुरेज़ाँ हुई तो शिकवा कैसे…चांद अगर छिपा हुआ, रात गुज़रेगी कैसे…ख़ुद ही से शिकवा करते…

  • 🌷मेंदी रंगली…

    रात्र अशी ही चंद्राळलेली, दिशा-दिशांत आसुसलेली…किंचित उमलली कळी-कळी, गोड गुलाबी, लज्जित झाली…दोन-हातांवरती गंधित ओली, शुभ-शकुनाची ही मेंदी रंगली…
