Two Poems from our Narrative Poetry Collection

 
 
Unwilling Domesticity
   
Author: Li lian Chong
   
Poem:
Unwilling Domesticity
   
  Oh how I wish I could be free
from the sexist role of domesticity.
They all tell me
it is a sign of femininity, of growing up and puberty.

There is nothing remotely alluring or glamorous about it:
Scrubbing the floor with my arthritic knees,
trying to wipe off that stubborn stain and chocolate bit,
cleaning the baby poo off the furniture, checking the dog for fleas.

Then there are greasy dishes
and basket loads of soiled clothes to bleach,
clearing the fridge of sour milk and foul-smelling rotting fishes,
Cooking and serving up the food – one portion for each.

Running about with my hair in a mess,
shirt soaked through with sweat and grime.
I guess you could say I really impress
with my off-key rendition of household pantomime.

Eternal Bliss
   
Author: Mrinalini Dwivedi
   
Poem: Eternal Bliss
   

WHEN THE MIND IS LEFT SECLUDED
AND DETACHED FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD.
WHEN THE HEART,
HITS HARD AGAINST THE CHEST
LIKE THE TURBULENT WAVES
OFF THE SHORE.
THEN SLOWLY THE LIQUID EMOTIONS
POUR OUT OF THE GUT, THROUGH THE THROAT
INTO THE PEN OF INTERNAL BLISS,
AND STAINS THE PARCHED PAPER,
WITH THE INK OF PURE SERENITY
ALAS! I SUCCUMB TO POETRY.
