A Woman………

A laughter

or just a smile of mine

can make your day

I know when and how and why

mom will get angry,

where dad kept his papers and forget,

I know where to look for them

without even telling him.

I can guess

 if one is lying over the phone,

 can see tears

 before they appear in the eyes

I am blessed with ears

that can listen before a word is said.

Only I know how to cry

and laugh for the same reason,

value of unheard words, unsaid apologies,

I know I rule your world,

You may not actually

have the courage to accept it

But I can repeat it a hundred times

and mean it.

I have given you lyrics,

made you poet out of nothing

your definitions of beauty drab without me,

love is a scentless flower,

I know you better than yourself;

Though, at times I am a stranger to myself.

There are mirrors

All over in my heart

Nothing I hide, none can you

from me!

You can hurt me very easily,

Same I can do to you

even better than you,

still I never even try,

 I have created a religion

with a fallible God,

and I worship with all my faith!

Hard enough to fight this world,

to speak up for my beliefs,

Strong enough to embrace it

forgetting all the bitterness.

Rude, rash at times,

Falling over the shoulders next moment.

I am a woman……

Of course a proud one!

P.S. A small note of thanks to Rahul(Think Tank) for provoking this female chauvinist.
