Raise Your Voice, NOT!



This issue is not arcane. Mothers had been ruling this world ever since God created Eve. Who would be stupid enough to disobey the Matriarchs of the World?

Be close to her and know her heart as you will soon find out that you will see and learn about yours as well. An Ode for Mothers of every calibre.

Why so Serious?

 Those cluttered spaces in your Huge Heart

 Resembles me, and me alone

 Words escaped from your mouth

 Nothing else, Brilliance and Wisdom

 Hips below your hands, such knitted Brows!

Forgiven, in mere minutes

Sacrifices of the Yearning Soul

Again, relished Thoughts of selfishness

Your brittle hands, stamped hard on my Face

Your howling fury, Hell to the No.

Put me up first, Food or Shelter?

Hath there not been any Curses from you?

My silly ears, immune yet enthralled

Your heaving chest, of Recurring Works

Patience, the Key it may not be

Way more, will I ever be blind?

 Muted silence felt the pangs of Guilt

 Deeply entrenched within my Soul

 A Miracle you’ve perspired, neither life nor Death?

 Morality and Tears, works well together

 My voice, won’t it ever exceed Yours? Forever.

 Petty reminiscence of my losing Games

 Your feet of Jannah, I swear by it!

 Forgotten, you may Never, Ever be!

 Cherish those sweats and Blood, my Ummi

 Realize thee not, of my humble Achievements

 So simple, may not fueling thy Pride

 Blessings of thee, Utmost Importance

 Respect’s such an Ancient word, Rejoice more and Love!

 The day you hit me meant nothing, a Trigger!

 My worth is well below thy Caste

 My undivided attention, Wife or not

 Channeled truly to thee, my Inspiration of the Hearts

 White lines of hair, Cascading down.

 Age is such a curse! One might say,

 But Not thee, experience had been the Greatest Friend!

 Nag me more, dearest Matriarch

 For thy Blessings are equal of His

 Always and forever, my Soul sticks towards yours

 Of Mother and Son, an Ode of Joy
