After 15 years of hibernation, I feel an urge to travel light!...By letting out all that, That I in my 'Silence' bottled up inside. Some thoughts, some sketches, pictures & drawings...woven as poetry; the way I look at life.

The Boogeyman....

He asked me...

“Mom what is this...”

I said, Just a perception they call; “Boogeyman”

He further questioned “What does it mean”

I said, Seldom People are afraid to come near....For If they’ll Breathe the same Air as me...They too might contract the painful life I live!

& That very thought makes them

Fear & Flee!

He smiled & flung open his arms in an embrace; For now, he didn’t have to Share Me with anyone else!

As they say, when life meets you with challenges & the outcome is not in your control...

“Then Change your Perception!”

& Laugh it all out with A Song!

For the Boogeyman speaks more about those Who Fear...Then Love!

.

My Beloved says

“Every Lifetime is a mere Dream!”

The Blues that came upon you, too are my gifts!

I said but, pain often makes one flee,

As to them its nothing but tears that weep

He smiled & said- it’s just their “fears”,

That make them “forgetful of love”

& make monsters out of Blue

As pain is often seen misconstrued

The Boogeyman they fear outside

Is just a reflection of lovelessness within

Of their harrowed imaginary creations;

That make them Fear & Sink!

While Azure Deep in Blue, Thy spirit grows

For what they perceive as “Boogeyman”

There Breathes My Stars Of Faith, Love & Hope!

.

Through these 2decades of chronic pain, I’ve often encountered this boogeyman-mindset that creates monsters of someone’s pain

I Hope any pain that’s come upon you, only reminds you to love rather than hate, to grow rather than suffocate, to breathe rather than hurt!

I pray Pain only leaves you with more childlikeness in your heart & resilience to whatever it took from you as loss. & after all the horrors you’ve been through, your smile here, is only to sprinkle Stars of Hope

.

To Coco, who only sees me as himself, for he’s love & that’s all he sees, unlike the boogeyman-mindset that Fears & Frowns


PS: Why Boogeyman...not women...Cause Pain does not have Gender...Unless in the minds of those...who think...men through pain are more precious... .
