REDEEMER

I think about those fallen angels,
The right hand soldiers of God.
What plans they would have made,
To snatch his power in surprise.

Bewildered in the punishment given,
And all powers pinched,
They wait in silence
To conquer, one of God’s loved beings

All plans in vain.
And no remorse acknowledged.
Down in the burning lava thrown,
To live forever, forever

I think about those fallen angels
Who’s deepest sins never forgiven.
Victims of burning fire they became,
To this day punished.

They sought for the human minds
God’s most liked creation.
In it they sow the seed of greed and anger,
Slaves to generate.

For health and wealth they sold
Their souls to these tempting nerds
And sleep they lost instead
and lay peaceful no more

I think of those fallen angels
Not in hell no more
In our minds they stay
Tempting us every day

Fall not into temptation
And deliver us from evil
Said that Man of God
Who was laid on the cross.

For you and me
Was born
A Redeemer
Of all sins big or small.

You and Me

Little do we know about life.

we are made to feel secure
but security is never around

life is at a threat
at all times

children are abused
girls are raped

we think men are the luckiest

but how cruel can life be?
they are also being rapped

whom do we blame?
our elders
who fear to talk about gender

whom do we accuse?
our family
who dare to talk about sex

who is secure then...
you and me?????

MOTHER

Tenderness in your eyes
Love in your heart

Who could replace you
In my life, love

In my fall you
Shed tears

In my rise
You held your head high

Who could replace that love
In my life

They said
God created them
Because he could not be
Every where every time

How much I pride in you
Words are less to say.

This life is yours
Yours mom
Forever

ONE

We are connected
They said

We are one body
One soul

You share my blood
My flesh

We are connected
They said

In darkness
You were created

In swirls of water
You lay

Secure and cosseted
From all

We are connected
They say

Into the light of knowledge
You are born

Cut apart from me
My soul

From the womb to the heart
Distance short

We are connected
They say

BURKA

The last time

The last time I felt the wind on my face,

Was when I was a little child.

The last time

I felt the warmth of the sun

Was when I was a little child.

Now

Now I have darkness around me

And in the darkness I suffocate

The world around talk about freedom

Freedom to live life

In my darkness

Nobody hears me

The scorching heat of the sun

The clammy air

Enervate me

But nobody hears me

I am forced to wear this shroud

Based on culture and religion

All of it man- made

They have darkness in them

And they coerce it on me

So that I become invisible

To beauty around me

Yet

In my darkness

They plunder me.

That too in the name of religion

My darkness

My skin

My colour.

MENDACITY

The smell of tulip
Is in your hair
The smell of lavender
Your cheeks
The smell of rose
Your lips

I could conquer death
To be by your side

The hands that cuddle me
The fingers that rustle through my hair
The warm bosom
The even heartbeat

How I could die this very moment
Wrapped in your arms, my love

The mayhem of lie surrounds me
It poisons every bud when touched
This moment of warmth is fake

The dagger of lie pressed
Into my heart
Shall perforate your too

The benign love
Would be overpowering
And heart breaking

I AM A WOMAN

I am a woman
And I am proud to be one

I am a woman
The strongest one

They dragged me down to the deepest darkness,
There I was,
The fearless one

They tore me up in the wilderness
There I was,
The brazen one

How many Draupadis will you create?
How many Sitas will you put to flame?

Still
I would emerge
The Woman
The powerful one

NEWBORN

I could choke you to death
I could strangle your neck
But you are my child
Born in the hour of death

I could drop you down
And break your head
And cry aloud saying
It was a slip

Or, I could poison my breast
And feed you my milk
And moan stating
He was fast asleep

Why my child, why?
The hour of your birth has to be so.
Like toys they carry guns
For hunger they are fed odium

I thought
I could teach you love
But I am compelled
To teach you to hate

They have guns for you
To play with
And army boots and suits
To snuggle

How much more sacrifices?
Nothing gained
Nothing earned
Just lose and hate

Instead
I could bury you alive
Weep, weep and weep
Curse my breast and weep

No more shall I bear
No more shall I give
To death
And to vengeance

Song of War

How much can you harm us?
How much can you assault?

Aren’t we equal?

Aren’t we the same?

Born of the same mother

But you disdain.

How much will you kill?
How much will you murder?

Aren’t we brothers?

Aren’t we alike?

Made of the same blood

You and I

Go on, go on sweet brother
You can break me.

But my spirit

Would not go unsaid

Into the dark deep.

DEFEAT

Defeat

How merciless life can be

When all is won

Somewhere we loose

The turning point of time

Is

The realization

Of all things lost in war

How many noticed

The eyes with tears

The bloody gore

Hath made

All is insane and meek

Why the fight?

Why the bloodshed?

What do one own

That can be carried

Beyond death.

APART

I
Sat at the corner
Of my bed
Thinking about
Love

My heart pounding
Thinking about you

The sweet nothings
Whispered into my ear
And your arms
Cuddling me into you.

Would this moment stay?
I thought
And the words slipped
Out of my mouth.

Would you care if,
I told you
Would you care if
I shout

Let the world know
That we sing in the night.
And our shadows
Dance in the day.

Grimly I close my eye
Aware and Knowing
We are miles apart.

PAIN

Pain
The feeling of numbness;
As though
The earth below your feet has just moved,
To suck you into it.

Withdrawal
Reflex effect to pain;
As though
The cat felt the heat
Of the hot milk on its tongue

Brood
About the things
That could have gone right.
And yet
And yet…..

Comprehend
That nothing could change;
The past has past.
Leaving trails of pain,
To remember.

Till We Meet Again

The sweet words we shared
will never come back
My heart grows heavy that
we have to part
But, the memories are
always in my heart

You may forget me as
time goes by
But , how can I?

Here I stand at the roads end
To have a look before i turn the bend
To wish you all the very best, my best friend.

I wish I could turn back time
And once again have you as mine
Friend, you are really very sweet
GoodBye, till we meet again.

FOR MY FRIEND

I don't have much to say..
no big news for you today!
Still i want to keep in touch
because your friendship means so much.

its nice to think of all we've done...
the quiet talks
the laughs, the fun

And anytime I think of you
and all the thoughtful things you do,
i find, i just can't help, but smile
for friends like you
make life...Worthwhile.
