A Queen Sans Crown

Ranjani Gangadharan posted under PenMuse-61 Poetry on 2024-03-21



Walked in fire to prove chastity Pledged to save the integrity Cursed to being a lifeless rock Woman, her essence a mock, void her dignify From Delusions of ups and downs To a stable realm sans the crowns Leaving behind traces of pains She burns to ashes past remains, crossing all bounds From the legacy of all lies She blooms from cocoon very wise Breaking shackles of servitude Soaring high with certitude, she still arises Augmenting respect with her strides With fervour drifting on the tides Profound as the infinite sky Beyond horizons dark and high, on hope she rides
