WE ARE NOT RIPEN YET

​Shells are soft

And pulps

Searching for sweetness

Stones haven't yet got

Their share

In God's miraculous artistry

Wombs to become fertile

Rooting about a serene tear

Deep into the soil

Covering unfathomable journeys

Yet the rays

Rush to sunder us

Deep jeopardise dark

Ambush to swallow

Our tender bones

We with our trembling hearts

Out gaze the thin arc

Dripping sweet sublime light

Beyond the horizons !!!

ABSURDITY

​Our bowls were empty

And our lips tasted

Neither a sugary delight

Nor a sharp bitterness

Still our crimes were unforgivable

And our ages were penalized


Thrown far away.......

From the moonlit nights

We forgot the caressing

Of the soft light beams

( A chick with its beak

Tries to break the shell

From inside

But can't tear apart hard coverings

Spread,layer upon layer

Freedom is a dream of

Every single genome

But dream ends up

Into caliginous depths)


We were tired

But couldn't stop to take a nap

We,the captives of our destiny

Lived with agony and pain

Hidden beneath our dusky skins


What was our life

And what was its worth

We were crushed and squeezed

For him,whose smiles

Were extracted

From the essence of our screams

His body had sucked our brightness

To become visible....!!!!
