Desire......A strange word no? the dictionary says it's an act of want an act of badly needing something and hey i am none of it your eyes ask why i am the woman who would never dress up for the date i won't dance with you on your favorite song rather laugh with you when subway sauce spills up on your lips I could use more wisdom than grace I may talk you out from the panic episodes that keep you awake But i am not the woman you desire I have bruises from the past relationships I have scars, not the glorious battlefield scars rather an ugly cat bite that is as deep as a pit but i think it's gorgeous I am not the woman you desire I have faultlines fault lines that try to tear me apart every night But leave with multiple cracks cracks of an unsettling mind cracks of anxious thoughts cracks of an extra pound on weighing scale i will grow on you through late night conversations through ideas to communicate better through poetry that screams through sharing the unspeakable in inboxes I am not the woman you desire because i won't be writing poems for you my poems are my force field against despair my poems are the closest i can get to "love" I am the woman you won't desire or Will you? Love P.
Riveting poetry. Deep and telling. Almost Leonard Cohenesque.
Thanks so much Birinder for such a lovely compliment
If I a men…I want women like u..Not as desire but as inspiration…
Will you or will you not.
I love you Sakhi.
I really do.
Its tough to find friends like you
Hello pooja. Really you have said very meaningful words. Women are not to desire. In fact they have dreams which should be admired.
Exactly. I believe no independent woman wants to be only desired
Expectations from women being one who looks pretty, flawless, dances in your tunes; you can’t even see real her. Then, there are these women who are real, who fought their own battles and strive to be herself. Loved this.
Such poignant lines!
Hmm.. with that smile and those words? I am sure there are many takers..
Beautiful verses. This is a real woman, with real scars – she deserves to be desired
This is a beautiful poem. Although simple, the words have deep ramifications. Loved reading it.
I can see myself in these lines too, and to be honest any man would like a girl like that.
Beautiful lines.
Great poem. You have expressed your heart very beautifully. Keep writing!
Lucky would be the guy who realises you’re exactly the woman he desires. It is a real woman, not some caricature. Lovely poem.
Deep thought Pooja. Nicely written. Liked reading it.
Lovely poem. And this should be the letter you show to the one you love…
Simple and deep. Well written.
You are the woman everyone must desire : bold and simple 🙂
Indeed these are powerful words. Kudos to this strong desire!
Very deep and thought provoking. Loved it
That’s one beautiful poem..
Beautifully expressed. A man would be unlucky if he doesnt desire a person like u.
Good to see that you are expressing the real you and not faking it for pleasing the hearts and wooing the souls!
I’m sure its this honesty that will fetch the true love.
Wonderful !!! You have expressed yourself very well. Now let’s see how Men react!!!! #mannreads from http://www.orientalafterglow.com
Who would not want a woman like that? Such poignant lines .. dil ko choo gayi.
A deep poem…loved it! 🙂
People who go for desire arent true men… Men loves women of substance and not just beauty
I wish
Strong message in the poem. Stronger lines. Liked it a alot and I also liked your blog with the lil mix of hindi and english.
Such beautiful poignant lines, Pooja. Loved the way your words flow with effortless ease and tells beyond the obvious.

Such beautiful lines…very poignant yet so powerful. Loved it!
Thank you Kalpana
Good line- force fields against despair.
Thanks Nupur
Meaningful, revealing and fearless lines. Telling it the way it is.
Keep writing! You have amazing writing skills.
You are you. I think it’s this quality that makes the poem so appealing. It’s raw and honest. Loved it!
😊
I can relate to so many lines from this poem. Deep poetry with a deep meaning.
This is the actual woman. She is capable of doing everything but she is not desirable as the world wants her to be.
Absolutely
You can’t be just desire of anyone but everything of everything
True
Such a lovely poem.

What a lovely share..simple yet deep words .
Thanks Neha
This was bold and subtle, it was so attractive and simple, it was beautiful and ravishing- and all at the same time. It is lovely how you managed to bring all these qualities together with your words.
#MyFriendAlexa #literarylehareads
Real girl with all real thoughts 🙂 This was so deep.
#vigorousreads #MyFriendAlexa
That’s such a beautiful poem. If I were a men I would have vouch for a women like you.
Love you
Strong lines !! Excellent poetry talent you have. 🙂
Highly impressed with your thoughts which I could glimpse through your poem. Thoughts of an independent woman. Thoughts of a woman who is clear about what she wants in her life and what she doesn’t. If every girl is ready to embrace such viewpoints in their life they could live their life with better choices and less compromise. Beautifully crafted
#readbypreetispanorama for #MyFriendAlexa
We worship woman in form of Devi; we call her nav Durga. then why one should expect her to dance on tunes with him or dress up like a princess for a date. she can be herself and instead of laughing on silly jokes she can be a a try companion in terms of being the strength go her better half. Beautiful poem.
#MothersGurukulreads #Myfriendalexa
Exactly Alpana
I envy those people who can write deep poems easily. You have said a lot in very few lines. Relatable and very deep.
Very well written. Women are not object or obsession, they should be treated as companions and equally intellectual, than mere fantasy.
#MyFriendAlexa #momlearningwithbaby #Blogchatter
Quite a thought-provoking piece. You are someone who would just be herself and that’s what is essential.
Waw… That’s a fantastic poem. Very deep and one which will open the conversation..
Thanks Aditya
How beautifully you have penned it , it opens up plethora of discussions and talks.
#myfriendalexa #mommyinmereads
Your poetry resonates with the strong independent woman who has dreams and aspirations for herself too. Hope men desire such kind of woman and not one from fantasy land. Loved the flow in your poetry.
Cheers

Intense and heartfelt.
Loved it Pooja. Bang on! Sure you are a woman of substance.
Thanks a lot Roma
Beautifully written. Enjoyed reading it.
Powerful words to emphasize women are not objects to be desired.
Thank you
I am.not the woman you desire. The title itself runs a chain of thoughts in one’s mind. Women have always built curiosity among men and saying this you in fact, become more desirable. I quite liked it, pooja. #LiveItYoungReads #MyFriendAlexa
This one is such a real piece. I loved your words. Seriously. Awesome one.
Thanks sweetheart
How beautifully you have expressed the feelings in this poem. The title was intriguing. I love your writing skill.
Thanks Kavita
What a thoughtful and poignant poem… Loved every word of it…
Thanks sweetheart
