Spotless Tribune

( Tribute to Cancer Patients)


I see her standing in front of the mirror
Striking her hair in fishtail
The moment she puts on a lipstick
She thinks she have just painted
Another story for a brand new day
It adds colors and sassy look
She models her scarlet veil and her crimson doll shoes
She likes the way her cup B sized bras are kept
With tags of memories of battling the battles within her battles
It is like her cry conquers the rhythms of liberty
Garlands of hopes reverberate in back to back trends
Of surviving the daily wars inside and outside
She makes her oncologist feel
She can stand and be back on her mountaineering
Her force is beyond a millionaire’s wish
Just like her, the host of outnumbered dreams
The reward is priceless- LIFE
Another life in joining miracles
When one-roofed litanies of women warriors
Trying to save the clans of goodwill and heralds of compassion
The milestone have just defined the voiceless
From the selfless
Even the yellow and pink ribbons could praise
The wakes of black and white in their deathbeds
That’s how she reflects, that’s how she fights
She displays her flag of courage on the finish lines
Before the billion innocents’ eyes
Transcending magical lanterns and parachutes
Wherever and everywhere
Because women deliver
The tribune of the braves

The Rewinding Chaff


You set the fire of fires
Gather the embers of your skin
That make you, the you that you never knew
From the unknown self knowing you
Is a growth of words within words
Syllabicate syllables by syllables of your darkness
As you spell the language of all meanings
And remind the synonyms of light in the dark
Of your days without nights and nights without days
But you are choking with misunderstanding
For what is like if you never like
The unsung songs
Of peace within peace
Love within love
Respect within respect
To Whom, Where, When and Why
Then How will connect all small steps
To keep that journey within journey
Just like your heart within my heart
And I carry You in Me, I in You
We will remake the unmade home of homes
In our ONE soul.

Newton’s Neuter

( For LGBT Community)


Carpe diem trans in a trance
Sway in both ways
Meet him escorting the orchids
Modeling the best Victorian skirt
He is she, the vice versa, the meme’s odyssey
Don’t question
Your answer is in question
Leave it as plants’ photomorphogenesis
As love-diamonds are worth more than zillion of golden enamels
As flowers defining the springs of magical offspring
Tell Misogyny to love Misandry
It is time to give more and more and more rejuvinating hugs
And where the means and meanings can multiply love inertia
So walls and mirrors can play the harmonica
In the parade of radiating unpainted love-lotuses
The paramour’s unconditional canvas.
