Pangs of separation
There were days
When we were together
It is now ages
Since we have parted
Sent no messages,
Nor have ever chatted
May be we shall never
See each other,
And even if ever happen
To meet again,
What shall we mend
Now with our days
Left far behind!

Pain
Once again a hard pain,
Eyes filled with tears,
heart with sorrow,
O Almighty what u did?
When we lose someone
We lose our soul once
Its very hard to comeout of grief,
But slowly the grief falls
And then it fades away.
Once again a hard pain
When we again lose someone
Who is close to us
The faded memories of grief
Come again and again
Once again a hard pain
Eyes filled with tears
Heart with sorrow
Almighty what u did?

LOVE
Where love was illegal,
I was a gay(queer).
Acceptance and love,
was far away.
Punishment! Punishment!
Rights no ways.
Sisy, Hijra, Gays,
Identity no ways.
Jails and rapes,
Not only by inmates.
Shame! Shame!
here and there.
Religious authority
take away attire.
Disgrace, humiliation,
so much discrimination.
Coming out- faced
Violence, Detestation,
Hatred and aversion.
Identity nowhere.
We were living in
the world of fear.
Now 377 is root out,
Everyone is happy.
I am still in my room,
thinking why 375 still there.
Searching an ally,
I am mood out and
I am not Gay (happy).

IT IS’NT SAME
Is the wind same?
That was thirty years ago,
If the answer is ‘no’
Then who feels the shame?
Is the water same?
In the time of your grandma,
If the answer is not ‘ya’
Then who is to blame?
Is the land same?
That was fifty years ago,
We don’t let a tree to grow
Then is greenery our aim?
But my answer is the same, ‘no’!
For all the questions I asked,
My warning is the last,
So, have abundant seeds to sow!
