By the Window, She stands...
Posted in beauty, love, night, pain, silhouette, society 42 comments
The sun shines high,
The alleys stay deserted...
The night sets in,
Life brews...
They come in herds, men.
To buy what they lack,
A few, to find what they lost.
The alleys sell love,
A filth in light,
Treasured till dawn...
She stands by the window,
Looking for love,
Or selling hers?
Most savage her,
A few savour,
In the end, none care...
She takes them all,
A few lovers,
The rest lechers...
She is tainted,
For she takes
The sorrows of the day...
And yet in the nights,
The very mouths,
Seek her arms solace...
The day rises,
She retreats...
The night engulfs,
By the window, she is...

It's so deep..The only thing she does is wait for a moment i suppose..
It creates a illusionary yet real imagery..
-Someday-she-will-find-!!
The image compliments it just right.
Delightful write-up..though it talks of pain..
@Alcina
Thank you...
she has rather given in to the moment i guess... :)
Oh thats a melancholy, to wait for the moment to come... nice one
The imagery created is touching...almost heart wrenching or maybe today I'm only teary....
A starry night after a sunny day,
Brings nothing but gloom and dismay...
All I wish at this moment,
Is to blow with the winds far away!"
Take Care.
@Devil Incarnate (scary name Miss :P)
:) thank u...
@Fatima
nice words...thanks...
:)
Hey Eon,
I am not sure if I am interpreting this right. Forgive me if I am wrong ( my brain lacks the cells to write or understand deep words). this is how I interpret your words:
I feel so very sorry for HER as I think she is in that position NOT BY CHOICE. She is just helpless. Also, I am sad for the men for they DO NOT know that SHE is already dead ( well, not really dead. She breathes but there is no life in her).
@Always Happy
well well, it is true...the only difference is, its just generalized, not to any specific person...
the alleys of the night where love is sold... :)
:)
oh ok, glad i got the gist right! soooo proud of my weak brain cells!
Maybe the window she leans on is her only real companion! yet she delightfully gives in to the spur of the moment so that life could move on to greener pastures and somewhere, someday she will find the true purpose of it all :)
delightful read, its so deep and it actually created an impact on me..I sat here..thinking of d days n nights spend by her for a long time before i wrote this comment!

@Vaisakhi
hehehe, mee first.. :P
glad you liked it...
@*Dazzlingstar*
thank you.. :)
You know... The scenario has always made me sad... your words, i felt it as i read--- just brought together all of the sadness and spun them into words so beautiful... Yes... but sad!
beautiful. very.
Only if someone did show up during the day and let her droop on his shoulders. Love her, not defile her.
Nice read.
Cheers,

@Matangi
i understand it, thats the very reason i felt like expressing it. :)
@The Wandering Minstrel
Thank you. :)
@Blasphemous Aesthete
Beautifully said.
The men those come, with that filthy touch, rips her apart, but those lechers dont know they can never touch her soul!
The title you wrote, shows the hope that someday she would meet the one that will see beyond the outwardly look, the beautiful soul within through her eyes...
You have embedded a woman's emotions through your beautiful words Eon :)
@Poonam.doc
True, her soul remains pure...
hope prevails...may someone see beyond those eyes that gaze through the window...
Thank you.. :)

@Valli

@Pallavi
Well, thank you... :)
O, a victim of fate... i believe, this piece voiced out the modern day abuse of women's right and morality... poor woman, but brave she... for facing each day and seeing the world that brings her hell and darkness... she still sees a light after all... thanks for the poem.

Hey Buddy,
after a long time...good to see you here...
The poem is more towards the darker elements that thrives in the dingy alleys in the cover of the dark...
beautifully penned... evokes an enigma of mystique :)
@Mehak
Thank you... :)
what all does asks for.. the lil attention asking if she's fine.
Treated the way she deserves.. humane at least, not just as a matter..
by the windows she stands, waiting for the eyes that would admire and not just look, deep in her eyes. And heal the sore wounds..
@Deepika
hey mera momo aa gaya finally...yay....
ok, serious now...
hmmm, she waits for those eyes, or may be she has already given up on hope...never know.. :)
beautiful poem
your captured the pain
@SM
thanks... :)
Someone out there, only some angel will someday give her his shoulders to cry on, console her and love her...only if someone could share her life with her... touching lines.. :) :)
Cheers,
@Tanvi
May that day arrive in her life... :)
Amen.
As much as i love writing poetry, I love reading one created with utmost passion and beauty and I'm always thirsty for it..You did quench my thirst! Beautiful!
You've got a follower buddy! :)
@Amar
Hey buddy, thanks...am honoured.
what is poetry but emotions flowing through words...just tried to capture a few...
:)
Pure and plain words woven so beautifully, painting a picture of the woman's physical and emotional suffering...you deserve credit for making an attempt to write something like this.
Many sympathize,few empathize.
Nice one.
@Manshaa
Hey thanx...just tried to portray whats been inside for long...
:)
Thanks again..
