Grow my children, grow!

My saffron My greens
My dreams, my passions
My greens my saffrons
I took them for a royal ride
To show them a world unseen
I had the rudder
Saffron’s did the sails
And greens mended my deck
Innocent were the saffron
Cute were my greens

Laughing at every jibe
Hands Patting backs
Hands holding backs
air filled with milkyness
Sweeter, tendered saffron mystifying atmosphere
And my greens, flourished with my saffron
Played a symphony of cuteness,

My little greeny leaf once woke me up
Took me on the deck
And we screamed along
Spring it is! It is spring!
And together we saw,
His majesty rising
Party it is!
And treat it was!

In the middle of the ocean
We were together

Before I could say another word
My greens turned grey
My saffarons spit fires
and winds did betray us
Crack! Shattering my deck, My mast came down,
Where do kids learn to fight?

Ribs broken
Corpses everywhere
Brothers killed brothers
Loved ambushed loved

Sky is no more blue!
No! its not green!
No! its not red!
Its black, shaded and tattered
Breeze sang Satan’s hymns

I watched my saffarons die
I saw my greens dying
Enough! That’s enough!
Don’t you dare fight!

But who hears this monk?
Nobody!
My little green was weeping
My newborn saffaron needed me
I took my two babies
Green in one
saffaron in other
dived in the ocean

to hell with your ship! To hell with you all!
And I swam a hundred miles
Reached this island

kids are best left with outsiders
and we are outsiders
refugees, who run away from pain, from sufferings,
from tears and from blood.

So here I stand, right on this rock
With my scratched fingernails
And laughing face
All alone, watching them rise again.

Grow my children grow!

cinderella girl

glossy lips,rossy cheeks,tiny eyes
madness it was
when you walked past me
back then, I could smell a thousand orchids
plunging my nose in your fragrances
I stood, mesmerized
was it heaven?

you must have heard my sealed lips singing
my heart dancing on your fingernails
flowers bloomed in a hairy chest
made my lifeless lip smile

swift you were
when you were leaving
was it humor?
for I laughed before I could realize
that dried tears could leave a a salty trail

calling it a day
heartbeats went numb
for they needed rest
for mending a heart where they belonged
for doped heartbeat can never comfort ones soul

Pilgrimage of an Atheist

They tossed an atheist
In the fire of theists
Broke his legs and made him kneel
He bowed, He Knelt

With his broken back
with tears in his eyes
he asked
where is god? where is god?

They slammed his face
on their deity's legs
he asked again, where is god?
and yes, his nose was bleeding

You are a non believer, you! Damn You!
said them all, echoing were the voices
and deafening was their noise

Thats what I am, He smiled,
and screamed
in your ocean of sanity I am the wild!
slit my wrists and hammer my bones!
make my veins bleed and dry up
let this bloodshed of mine make you merry
for, this universe needs humans
more than it needs your deity

He raised his bloody arms and cried
"I have traveled this universe many time,
with my imagination and my metaphors
found countless inspirations"
"and when fear burns my heart I remember them all"

Why should I believe a forced thought?
can I not be what I always was?
My mothers child, lover of this world, Thats all I ever was.
should I bow down for something ever
which is not even close to fragments of my imagination?
said he

and he bleed and bleed and bleed
and he cried and cried and cried
soon his voices were diluted
and everything he was, was lost.
his body, shattered
his arms, broken
his hope, hammered
and his life, gone, forever
