Gourab Banerjee Feb 2016
I screamed but they're Merciless
As time passed
My resistance get loose to looser
And at last I surrendered
Before the merciless Beasts
They snotch me
They're getting fast to faster
I'm becoming fainted
No way to survive
Still I don't give up
And you shouldn't too please
Promise me you'll bring justice
Not for me but for You
For them,for everyone else
Don't hate your nationality
Being proud of a Warrior
Be Indomitable
Be me
I'm Damini-Written on 31.12.2012

I want you to remember,
That cold December
Her daunting scream
And your tired God,
The floor was wet
Blood, sweat and tears
Helpless beside her
A friend who loved

Forever remember
That cold December
When humanity surrendered
Before their greed
Sickness had struck
They said, **** was her fault
My faith died when women agreed

Never forget her
And that cold December,
The anthem they sang,
Weak women stay home

The city of men,
Delhi was freezing,
The vigil that failed to chase away the darkness within

Befriend those walls,
Few lunatics preached,
Battered, she faded in the mist of despair
2012 Delhi **** Case.. You can google the incident if you don't already know

love is a tug in the middle of the night, a fearful tap across the bed in search of a body who has not yet come, it is the trudge in the rain, a thin cotton blanket as a shield and lavender crocs that squeak with each step. love consists of 3 bangs on a windowpane and a bellowing yelp. it is the harmony of coughs at 12am, coupled with a few slaps on a table, and an exchange of looks that begs the question “another one?”

love is finger drawn hearts on a windshield; the ones you only notice when you’re backing up, and leaves you wondering “who did it?” it’s a frenzied dialogue in group chats, begging for lash glue, glitter, and a pair of spider-webbed tights. love is the utterance of my name in native tongue, a slick spilling of syllabus that clutch each other, as I await for the last letter to roll off your tongue; like a child in search of comfort they can’t quite explain. it is a verbal embrace, an imaginary set of hands wrapped around me; it feels like home.

you told me that love is to know, and i think of this often. Love reveals itself through questions, an interrogation if you will. a sudden appearance in a back corner studio, in search of a face that is every-present, yet not. atop a building, in a hidden crevice that only few can claim; we call it monday night specials. love is a strut and hard smile, with hands that hold a gift bought out of tender thought; “I thought you’d like this.” you’re right, i ******* do. love is a daily alarm that hits right at 8am, with three names that appear on a screen, and for a moment i forget of the 16 hours that separate us.

love is consistency, an unspoken ¡Presente! at any occasion ; a set of sweaty palms that cover my eyes before revealing a devious grin. love is a pack of strawberry nerds i tear open, and after several handfuls, we look at each other con una mirada que dice “pues si.” it is a carefully curated compilation of 62 songs, with a running time of 206 minutes. el amor es un pasaje oscuro, con luzes anaranjados, y fotos relleno de aqua.

love is repetitive, an ode to commit, it is a toast to all that is and what will be; love is the words “im proud of you,” a tap on the back followed by a 45 minute waterworks show. it is 4 makeup bags sprawled across my bed with Love, Damini dancing on the bass. it is the opening of doors, peeked heads and corn dip being served alongside a bag of Fritos.

i’ll keep repeating it until the words swell my tongue and inhibit me from going further. love is a testament, it is the conversations i have with God in a vacated parking lot. it is the prayer I send to my father each night with the hopes that his inner-child finds peace and closure from a past he refuses to speak of. it is the apologies and weeps i share with my mother, as we lament over innocence lost at the hands of one who swore to protect us. el amor es un angel que aparece a media noche, con un mensaje divina, es el pasaje entre dimensiones, afrontando el pasado, presente, y futuro.
