Womb Woes

Her wailing womb waits
for repeating routines to fade.
As does the weary woman,
for her endless duties to pause.

All those eternal spells
of aching and bleeding,
shedding and rebuilding,
she revisits with earnest eyes.

Scars of the nine months,
she remembers yet again,
with numbed tears overflowing
for unknown last few times...

Wind whistles his way up
through loosened folds and cracks,
to hum stories of tiny beings
who used to live in that sacred cave.

For someone who has been
profoundly deep and full,
its difficult to accept
becoming hollow and shallow.

Empty and refill
has been whose rhythm,
being consecutively vacant
feels out of character!

O woe is her weeping womb
who fears
of being made redundant
in her own body's workplace.

Creative Contributions

I am honoured to have been invited last month to this special event “Stories for the Love of The UAE”curated by the Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence, Sandooq Al Watan and Austin Macauley Publishers, UAE, to celebrate the contributions of creative people, living in the UAE for many years.

I had an engaging conversation with Dr. Louise Lambert, through my first podcast, which presented a platform for me to highlight sparkling moments in my journey as a Landscape Architect, Artist and a Poet and experiences of the past few unusual months in the UAE.

My poetry book, AMAIRA the Little Woman, got a chance to be seen and heard, as a story through womanhood, with its beauty and struggles.

It's been a great experience, interacting with creative people from all over the world who have been calling UAE their home.
To get this equal opportunity is the freedom of expression, that speaks a lot about this nation.

Thank you

Interchangeable

Will you accept yourself,
empty -handed
as respectfully, as when in abundance?

Can you gracefully navigate
opposing thresholds,
with the same self-regard, without a doubt?

Who am I, when I am vacant
on this lyrical journey
of hits and misses…

Work and no work,
of the tired yet inspired Architect and
the relaxed yet worried Poet.

Being the leader or being led?
Taking care of or taken care of?
Up and running or in calm contemplation?

Dancing light, like no one’s watching,
Or heavy and bleeding,
eating the heart out in bed?

Can I carry upon my shoulders,
two opposite banks of the river
and still balance a steady flow?

Will I douse my inner fire
with a newfound zen
of the deepened mind?

When I am not the Warrior,
I shall become the Yogi.

For when I am not working,
I am working …
on myself!
