Is your soul perfectly round,
chiseled and shaped to perfection?
Are you not rough around the edges anymore,
and all your flaws have been smoothed?
Did they cover and caulk all the holes in it?
Sanded and brushed
so that no sin can seep in
and polished you with love
masking all the defects.
Have they taped all the corners
so that no vice can stick out?
No mistake or no fault of yours
can ever come out.
Does all this hypocrisy
give you the everlasting sheen?
even if the layers inside you
are peeling within.
Does all this work
and handicraft
makes you emotion-resistant?
Are you are unswayed by the
fight underneath?
Air dried by years of your existence
Moulded by your coats of experience
Did they glue up and saw all the intricacies?
Primed you with love and its intimacy.
Are you really sure
that now you are the epitome
of divinity?

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
