A woman’s heart

She sheds tears for you,

Breaks down your fears for you,

Even while crying she only wants to wipe your tears,

And then she smiles with grace,

Hoping that her tears go unnoticed and disappear from her face.

She nurtures every one of you,

Sometimes she nurtures pain too,

By making herself endure it longer than she should,

But only a few can see her struggle,

Only a few can realize that she can endure only because she is strong.

Hatred can’t really stay in her heart for too long,

For her every moment is brand new.

She is forgiving, generous and kind,

A mirror for those who can see,

And a light for the blind.

A woman’s heart can enter your heart with ease,

Just like the flow of a wind breeze.

You’ll feel it happen, but you’ll never be able to see,

When and how she uncages you, and sets you free.

O man, never underestimate the heart of a woman,

If you ever hurt her, just remember,

She can be as loving as Goddess Parvathi,

But as fierce as Durga and Kaali too.

Don’t ever think that she is weak,

When the power of her love turns into powerful pain,

She can make the world go round, change your fate,

 And bring the universe at her feet.

She may also make you feel like you’ve gone insane,

In a good way only if you respect her,

She can heal you if you realize her power.

But if you don’t, then you might not enjoy feeling insane,

Without doing a single thing, she can turn your rainbows into rain.

So fear a woman’s heart, because the energy of pure love it contains.

And only in pure love there is God,

So if you hurt the true purity of her heart,

You hurt your universe, and you hurt God.
