Neena's poem


A little love, a small share of affection,
a caress; just a hint to her that you care;
that's all it takes for a woman to throw away
a life she owned.
Give her the rope that ties her to trust
and she becomes the kite
and her dreams will soar
and scale the heights
and she will gauge the limits of the sky.
Give her just this much of yourself
and you will see her swing and sway
on the hammock
 tied to the branches in the rains.
You will have her pick up the scent of love
in the most hidden spaces
and then you will see her bend 
to weed out the thorns from your way
and spread them over
with petals of rose instead.
