Dubai Raisin PDF Print E-mail

By Geeta Molahally

I am a dubai
sun dried
raisin
my youth 
evaporated
by desert years
of a 
fulfilled life

My material yearnings
long met
replete
my maternal aspirations
long realised
complete

I came here
forsaking family, friends and freedom
To find and form
A new sense of freedom
A family of friends

For long
I thought I
Lived in
Limbo
Not owning
A piece of
The earth

Until
I realised
That home is where
The heart is
And when your
Heart is ‘at home’
That’s home!

I am a dubai
Sun dried 
Raisin

Sun dried
Leaving lines of varied ilk
Bottom, laughter
Frown and fate
A sun dried raisin
Or better phrased
An 
Undated
Date.

I am a Dubai
Sun dried raisin
Though my youth’s dissipated
I remain
Essence-tially
Young
And core-perfectly
Sweet.

About the author:
Geeta Molahally 
Touchy-feely
Wordy wench
Pens poems
When she feels
The wrench

of
A thought
An emotion
A hug
A scent
A memory
Of a full life
Well spent

Anything
That brings
A smile
A spring in the walk
Heel-clicking in midair happiness
Something to visit
And revisit and enjoy
The  pore-permeating
Goodness of being alive.
