Schizophrenic!

She laughs like a mad woman
Cries like a child;
She frets like a teenager
Throws tantrums like a rock star!
She dresses like a diva
But behaves like a beggar;

She dotes like a mother
Cares like a friend;
She plays games like a toddler
And hurts deep like a true lover!
She curses like a witch
And heals like an exorcist.

She’s schizophrenic!

Reverberations…

The songbird sings outside my window,
The bard in saffron and the hawker cry out too;

RJ on the radio cackles
The phone incessantly vibrates;
The kettle gurgles with boiling water
Exuberance and innocence burst through peals of children’s laughter.

Tap tap tap… my keyboard clicks,
Ting Ting Ting… the school bell rings;

The airplane drones the foggy night
Mother sings a lullaby to put baby to sleep
Amidst all this I hear my heart silently weep….
