Oh Woman!

A woman-centric and a protest poem by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths.

Your eyes 

Vast Blue River 

Full of sweet dreams!

Your eyebrows 

Arched like a soft bow!

Your glance 

Full of grace and compassion!

Your cheeks 

Glowing like a lotus in bloom 

Your pink moist lips 

Speak volumes of your desires!

Your youthful bosom 

Waiting for a tender caress!

Your naval 

A hot spot on your stomach

In which you carry a life 

Someday!

Your waist 

Tender to hold on!

Your pretty feet 

The anklets sing 

Songs of love!

Oh woman 

You are a 

Wonderful creation!

Oh man how can you 

Abuse this beautiful 

Body and soul 

Crushing her under your 

Sinful feet!

Stop it 

Stop it now!

Love her 

Adore her 

Praise her 

She deserves 

Nothing less!
