SISTER

Since I do not have

my own sister

to play me around 

at my house

Earlier when I was a little boy

I used to chalk 

a meaning on my blank slate 

Drawing long and pony hairs

Braided, on both sides of the head

A long and thin nails

hued with different coloured chalks

A simple frock, and

A high heel shoes, strolling

A walk through my heart's playground.

Now that I have my own

Daughters and son

I sneak a part of their play, and

When they are not at home -

Probably to tuition or in friends house

Or watching TV, or eating snacks;

There I unfurl my heart 

in secrecy of my room

and dance my body

to it's full rhythm

Hitting heels lighter on the floor,

Jumping seven heights of a toy -

Playing mind and soul

Owning frolic and fairy

part of my life again
