Poems

She waited for her knight Long-time has passed Even the light of lamp diminished Her hope is lost. She is waiting to shut her eyes But a glimpse of love had kept her awake The world has disowned her And her voice is fading. She screams in her dreams Sound of coming feet wakes her Her world is shattered And her heart has lost its blood. Her knight went for a quest Defending her country’s honour She now rests peacefully with her son For her knight came on a shield.

She used to drop a message once in a while ‘How are you’ she asked me twice. She used to tease me every time we meet But now the time is changed, we often talk We shared a special friendship We always felt a strong love But maybe our destiny was upset Now we just smile and wave.

A time will come you fool, You have to walk on thorns You will become so innocent and helpless That shrug of your velvet had to be changed into coffin Clean your heart with faith, Leave the dirty deeds. Still there is a time wake up else you will burn in hell Your condition will become so Neither money nor power will work And you will be thrown out of your own tall building.

I married a rape survivor She was terrified and broken Shaken till the last drop of blood She can’t even face the mirror now Now she hates herself for being a girl Just few seconds had stolen her identity Her respect her pride her value her existence Corner of a room was now her place Tears dried heart soaked smile disappeared Yes i married a rape survivor! Believing i could give back her effeminacy I hold her hands when no one wanted her Society expelled her,Why? Because she lost virginity Because she lost her dignity Because someone forced her played her Because someone snatched her feminess I don’t care, i love her and i promise to take care of her I will bring back her pride her attitude her smile Hoping i could take her to my world of peace Yes i married a rape survivor! I can’t touch her i can’t make her feel comfortable Suddenly at night she wakes up and cry That night still haunts her My beautiful bud was plucked Crushed and

Do you know about heroes They don’t act in feature films They deliver our newspaper and letters They fight for us sovereignty and dignity They grew food for us They pick our garbage They mow our lawn They repair our vehicles They guard our doors while we sleep! Do you know who else is a hero to us Who wash our clothes and iron them Who bring our groceries Who wash our utensils Who clean our house Who open the doors for us Who picks up our luggage Who washes our toilet and cleans our drains Who wanders everywhere bringing us the vegetables!
