I still have a dream

dreams..

most of them are lost

barring one

that peeps out 

from the corners of the eye

threatening at times

to come to form

and be heard 

and seen

singing out loud

dancing on that stage

with no holds barred

no nudges

no one admonishing

nor judging

me for being my true self

the little girl

not wary of her curves

or her private parts

nor scared 

nor overburdened

by the touches 

of innumerable relations

my curls going haywire

the body and heart

both swaying

in pure bliss

just basking in the warmth of life

enjoying it

in sheer joy

yes i still have a dream
