Poem : The Glass Mould, one of my recent poems. The lines I could pen after reading this quote "A woman is like a tea bag and you never know how strong she is until she is in hot water"., and the brain behind this I have to find still.

The Glass Mould 


She was an exact glass mould.

She melted only in between-

2600 and 2800 Fahrenheit.

But it was quite easy to break her;

And quite easy to mould her back.

And she stood her ways, giving simple smiles back.

And she shaped and reshaped- 

To the mould that accommodated her.


Not for she was weak, but...

She was transparent!

She was honest!

She was pure and powerful!

And she could cut the finest Diamond,

Yet she was fragile and ought-

to be handled with utmost care.

Though many didn't care about it!


She could  magically transform-

The sun's rays to the most beautiful  Rainbow spectrum.

She came back ever after and ever.

Replacing the many unwanted!

To take positions as glimmering-

masterpieces shimmering in all gold.


She cut straight where she had to.

She weighed much-

When compared to all easy go's.

She stood for herself-

Moulding and remoulding her back.

In the most needy hours of dismay and distress.

And finally discovered her alone-

In a dilapidated world.


Let her be the model, say role model.

Let her be the right example.

Let her be the right symbol of strength.

Let the the hope.

Let her be the warning too.

Let her be my heroine too.

At last let her be the light that shows,

The world transparently to you and I

And, I adorn you my sweet heart!

Can something be Constant?

Can something be Constant? Nothing can be, not even you  can consistently be constant  to a person, a place or a thing. And we bring the changes  we bring the consistent changes  and embrace them  as it let's the unbound Liberty  to shift from a person to another  a place to another place  and a thing instead of another, of all  which you were so fond of at one time. © Parvathy Ramachandran

Yes, it's a fine age. She is in her 40's.

Her 40's I have known many times- my heart stopping the beat I have known many times- my heart beating much more it needs still I keep searching for, when I ever know it couldn't be found  it couldn't be found here and there it couldn't be found now and then  it couldn't be found  in no one else  than to me… Yet the search  is one fine beautiful journey that thrills and kills. I am a woman in the 40's And I ought to go through pain  and pleasure  The pleasure of postpartum, eased the pain of all tougher journeys  yet to handle  And if I couldn't, who can  and no woman can The pain can't just kill it thrills instead, as if you race a car  and run a machine  the machine only a woman  can handle in all thrill and she deals with the  throb of a heart  and listens to the cries of  postpartum, where she  discovers a new mother a new woman  a phenomenal new woman  and the phenomenally old...

I still retain my eight letter name. I know a day when You and I got to leave I have to finely decorate the space in all extravaganza.

My Eight Letter Name Clement was his name,  till sometime back. But now he is known as Ment! Who, why, when or whom- was it shortened? Nothing easy would leave it's mark, And I assume Ment too wouldn't. The sweet notes we exchanged,  never persuaded him for that. For I always loved my Clement, Exactly the way he was. And I never wanted him to alter himself even though fate accepeted him as Ment. But, soon I realized he too wanted to live  in a world that was easy, much easy. But I couldn't dare to find out the reasons Why easiness struck him too? Still I found the world turning yellow  Slowly, slowly and my desires died along. And many including my Clement, shortened their names. But I retained my eight letter name,  To be finely engraved on my grave  A day when you and I leave. Yet a day you and I should. © Parvathy Ramachandran
