Hey There, Baby Girl!

This baby girl, her arms are short

Of prejudices she must go through,

Of the evil eyes she’s exposed to,

She does not know what she’s worth.

                                  

Hey baby girl, I’m here for you

You’re a goddess sent from god above,

A little trickster with lots of love,

Only if you knew.

Baby girl lend me your hand

We’ll diminish bias and feticide,

I’ll help you nourish that beautiful mind,

You’ll just have to take a stand.

Your consciousness is too high for this world

They simply just don’t understand,

Be in charge and take command!

Your safety is my word.

Hey there, Baby Girl!

You will grow up one day and then,

The world will be overpowered by men,

But you will have to tell them again,

That you are the greatest gift to this world!

A Photograph

You and I standing alone
In a world of false creed
In a world of no sympathy
Yet we feel as one.

You and I standing alone
In a picture that seems perfect
Away from all the racket
We are fine.

And I know that you feel helpless
But this photograph of us
Away from all the fuss
Has proved to be more
Than mere images of ourselves.

An Unforgettable Waltz

Her soft eyes winked at me,

And every bit of innocence rose.

Her hair as calming as they can be,

Came to life as the wind blows.

She might be just another face,

For all of the other.

But she grabs my attention to blaze,

Oh! How much I love her.

The music spread like simultaneous emotions,

My heart growing louder than ever.

She held my hand and close we were, the rest left my notion,

And danced with all our spirits high, I wished for this forever.

We swayed away, to and fro,

Whizzing past in a flurry.

The rhythm quite slow though,

Our steps in perfect harmony.

I watched her beautiful eyes for a while,

Her joyous face as ever.

And saw tears run down her smile,

Which said good-bye forever.

And now I think of her again,

And how she left me there alone.

I hope she still remembers me,

I hope things turned right.

If only, I could have known,

I hope she had the time of her life.
