Wishes From the Dark Waters

Dear Mommy,

I am your daughter,

I want mother and father.

I want to breathe, love and grow,

And I want to walk on my toe.

Let me enjoy the sweet flowers, monsoon showers and warm sunlight,

And allow me to grow without fear and fright.

Let me sleep in your arms and listen to your sweet voice,

And want to play with many, many toys.

Inside your tummy, I’m waiting

For all the joys and love you bring.

So,

Don’t reject me, don’t hate me, don’t kill me

As I want to be alive and be free.

From,

Your unborn girl.

Deep Running Waters

Her lids fall heavily like they were carrying mountain

Her drugged eyes open with same pain

To look at the face she adored that day

With whom she had started the play.

Like two floating bodies in the water

Mesmerized - without the world to bother,

Creating billows in cold winter air

With the stagnant furtive glare.

Swirling, swerving, twirling

The oceans’ center within.

Two converging bodies create

Some vehement current.

The silent waters beneath

Dance with the tempestuous feat

Caused by two wildlings

In mid-winter mornings.

When passion was washed away on bed,

Slept in arms of the other, all cared.

With her last gaze, she sneaked away

In his peaceful sleep there he lay.

The Spectacle

The wind outside couldn’t have been more kinder,

They whistled more wildly now than before.

The moon too, came out from the shadow of clouds

And witnessed whatever it could have.

The stars now shone so brightly

That the sky glimmered as a wedding gown.

Even the night resisted to fade,

And dawn seemed like a distant dream.

The silence of that lonely street

Was adapted from hers.

It was hers…

No one responded to

Her shrieks and her yells,

Her cries and her screeches,

Her squalls and her squeals…

Her body lay still,

Frozen but not dead,

Wounded but not dead,

Damaged but not dead,

Harmed yet not dead.

That supreme soul who inflicted the pain

Had no mercy to kill her.

He repeatedly, shoved his impotence

Between her thighs.

But when that wasn’t enough

He ruined her eternity and ejaculated his humanity.

The silent eyes watched her

All collapsed,

All decomposed,

All naked.

She took what she got,

So the silence was all hers…
