A Girl Thing Poem by Anoop Joseph

She chases a butterfly like an elusive dream
All roses get her touch and kiss
In moments of joy she never muffles a scream
As a child she lives in a lovely bliss


In matters of heart she is not so sure
When love finds her she waves him away
She turns down desires which were so pure
Blindly believing she will be free every day

The wedding bell rings to strike a deal
To please her mate she plays along
She learns scars take time to heal
Never so confused as where she belong


She gets new pair of eyes as a mother
Years mock at her beauty as they pass
She feels being changed forever
Yet she yearns for that child she was
