. * Do I have a tongue, Can I speak too? In this strange world, Am I a human too? Do I have a heart, Can I live too? In this strange land, Am I alive too? In the midst of Oblivion, I search my visions, I once used to dream, As a young teenager, In Sea of Paro s I try to remember, The faces of people I had once lived with Father, mother, brother Of all those people I had once called family. I came here as girl, I am shared in the family, I born plenty children, I am sold and re-sold In and around To any men who Can afford to buy, I am kept but Seldom married, Each street have it's own paro, They all have But the same story. After some years I cease to exist, For the people Who bought me I am an old cattle Who no longer give them pleasure, I am now a burden A liability soon To be shedded.. They don't throw me though, They leave me alone In a small room, I have become a mother Of a girl or two I have new family But no identity fits me ever, When I come here I became a Paro, When my times up I die a Paro!! Paro is short for Pardesi, a foreigner, I am the girl Bought for men From another land Into there land, To born son's For there motherland. This is ordeal of A soul that once lived, Now it's just a body With no role, No fiction this It's a real story A reality of some Distant land !! That land for you Is so very strange Where eight young man **** a pregnant goat! And the strangest thing is they go away and Roam scot free..!! Soon the elders in the village Will have a big meet, They will give compensation To the owner of the goat, And free from the sin There precious young boys The martyred goat Will also have new name, And so it will soon Be christened to A new species of "Paro"- a first of it's kind A Welcome from an animal world!! And so I ask again Do I really exist? What form of life Do I have here? In this strange land Are they human too?? Does even a little atleast A thing called Humanity exist??? * Sparkle in Wisdom. 1/8/2018.

Between now and then A lot has changed Or should I say grown In and out, in every direction Like it was just a matter of time Like the change waited for seasons The growth that need water and sun The tree shedded it's leaves It bloomed in the spring Covered with snow for Christmas Between now and then A lot has changed

Seed of change
Into the bubbling blue bath of my bliss my body breaks free of all bounds; enchanted melodies cavort across my tongue, unchained continents of merriment. Shooting stars; cool satisfaction coats me completely. I have lost all curiosity for torture technique, while this melody bounces across the cosmos. My imperfect lovely: Perfectly fractured, all my shattered pieces fit your holes, and even now, I glue pieces of you into the slots they fit. A singular petal glistening with dew, Deep crimsom; long stemmed tulip. Black eyes, its stamen. Shedded insight, I lowered my body before you, as offering. How will you devour this dream of desire? It is a feast to be consumed, in small bites, and copious servings of seconds. Do not allow this flower to fade, it may save you from yourself. Blessings bestowed before bedtime often fade away by dawn, give thanks for the present, draw strength from the past, take heart, what is meant to be will always last... in the end.

pros and cons of lycanthropy
Did I fall into a void for a minute while I was thinking? Did I suddenly disappear away from here while I was blinking? For so long my absence has played tricks on my mind I was living every second and yet I forgot to breath I was totally present and yet completely unaware I am here and there and everywhere Where am I now? Who am I? Have I lost all memory or worse Have I changed? Like the leaves in fall or the shedded skin of a snake I leave an old safe behind in my wake. And all I feel is fear.

And yet the sun still rises
Traversing in between that few sweet hangouts One to another in greater distance Inside the empty universe Having shedded ocean of tears For Keep the moist of life What life may feel Staring stagnated beyond horizon Earnestly towards a vision which can not be seen For knowing the ingredients of life The eye has being : Exhaustede

The eye in the picture
And dreaming of Inisfáil, I was raised on Bolivar Pond. Sheltered in my wake, I’d coo as the dewy’d morning dove And fern in my bed, I rose to greet The song-splayed sounds of light And work, I made it dropping slow Bright in the summers swoon, I was adorned in forest eves By rings that rang from tree to rook, and flung the wingèd down, Brambled in bay, garland in violet When blades could ***** and not make bleed, And I was brindled by the moon’d many shades, that liken To a brook, and mottled in my main, noted among moss In that glow, once knighted we must serve Wood, let me comb in peace! Colored in the mantled cloth of leaves And bonny and red, I was the brave and the boon, the deer- Ants learned me, and herons stood muck, on stands spearing all mite And the vernal song sang lowly Swaddled in azure’s unfolding dream. At each turn was a season, nascent life charming in marsh Forays that brimmed the hollow rood, in clover yards, I saw The lilt of bees, sallied in clearings Brown as the yellowed beech Colored in sounds that beat the heart. And forth into the field I sprang unto that shedded loam And high was the sail that bellowed the raft that raked my pond, Bullied by the har-umph of frogs I rippled, rowing cat o’nine tailed tunes. Windy and free in the hollowed bark round the ****** bay I trailed the bear sniffing **** heard the hoo of a swooping vowel And wild in hare, dug the fox-hole up! Damp fires hailed the rising Moon, as fire-flies dinted the troutling pools And nothing I saw in my drowning sun could nettle or thorn My piney ways, nothing could rot my wood-craving ears For the kestrel’s qweet-a-quee rang holy In the skunk-flowered fields of Bolivar Pond.

The dress left little to dream, a stained red her sable hair veiled a porcelain skin. A body well-toned to beauty's visage, clinging to its youth in gentle fervor. She danced with eyes, aloof of the madness She danced with lips, a smile never faded. The night felt as if it never faded, despite that coming sunrise colored red. With it comes a certain kind of madness: that furtive creep and crawl under the skin, that dark attacks all good sense with fervor, silent beneath a cool and calm visage. How I gazed on her elegant visage! How she seemed to glow and never faded! That way she danced, enthralled in sweet fervor, twisting, turning hips below a flash of red. How I wished a taste of that supple skin! Temptation leading, leaning toward madness. How hard it may prove to resist madness, quick, short glances break a stoic visage. The blood runs warm beneath my pale, clenched skin. The space around her blurs, faces faded, till nothing exists but that flaming red. Hands convulsing in maddening fervor. The hotel room shakes, same violent fervor, With naught to do but give in to madness. The bets are all off when the bull sees red! Screams painted mute on smile-less visage. All drowned out, all of everything faded aside from the taste of porcelain skin. The sheets peeled off slowly like shedded skin. Quiet specimen, amidst the fervor, lays unmoving on the mattress, faded, left without signs of receding madness. Sunrise reflected on a still visage: Smooth porcelain, white now shadowed in red. That desire for ripe skin, the madness built in fervor, broke sanity's visage. Till the smile faded, the dress stained red.

My shedded tears cover the earth coating its green wonders in water ice, a word representing demons ice like your stare crystal blue eyes penetrate my soul digging deep reaching in grabbing what's left of me in your clenched fist Ice cold, Sliding away with my heart

A low monotone ‘snip snip snip' Drooping heads as in slumber deep The mirrors reflect telling it all The shedded strands quietly fall. Goes on the buzz ‘snip snip snip' Are they awake or in deep sleep? Getting off-loaded here's no hike Lines of souls sit vampire-like. No one speaks it's nobody's call Heads mildly roll, tissues fall Shrouded white from world disguised The snipper's spells have them hypnotized. The stupor breaks once ends the ride A cruel world is waiting outside The spell was so short, it's a pity Time again for reality!

The Spell
What is between your thighs? Empty stares hidden behind masks of confused faces, those who are brave enough to speak out. Wavering hesitation in the questioning of names, locations, attractional appeal. Do I even seem real? Does my body "pass" the notion binaries with lingering questions of male? Female? Of course, but who am I to decide the way I should live my life, or how I've "become" when I've shedded the skin of someone I once was. I am nothing, if not a charade.

*Dark tracks of you follow me, Taking the breath out of my lungs. I choke on the thought of you; Till my heart uplifts To let you go. Although you may think, I'm Never to shed a tear for a past love; I have shedded many And felt unworthy of... If you knew How it made my heart feel Each word of criticism Peeling a layer of me off leaving my soul left in the dark* "Never to be loved for the scars of past loves."

Sheltered in my wake, I’d coo as the dewy’d morning dove And fern in my bed, I rose to greet The song-splayed sounds of light And work, I made it dropping slow Bright in the summers swoon, I was adorned in forest eves By rings that rang from tree to rook, and flung the wingèd down, Brambled in bay, garland in violet When blades could ***** and not make bleed, And I was brindled by the moon’d many shades, that liken To a brook, and mottled in my main, noted among moss In that glow, once knighted we must serve Wood, let me comb in peace! Colored in the mantled cloth of leaves And bonny and red, I was the brave and the boon, the deer- Ants learned me, and herons stood muck, on stands spearing all mite And the vernal song sang lowly Swaddled in azure’s unfolding dream. At each turn was a season, nascent life charming in marsh Forays that brimmed the hollow rood, in clover yards, I saw The lilt of bees, sallied in clearings Brown as the yellowed beech Colored in sounds that beat the heart. And forth into the field I sprang unto that shedded loam And high was the sail that bellowed the raft that raked my pond, Bullied by the har-umph of frogs I rippled, rowing cat o’nine tailed tunes. Windy and free in the hollowed bark round the ****** bay I trailed the bear sniffing **** heard the hoo of a swooping vowel And wild in hare, dug the fox-hole up! Damp fires hailed the rising Moon, as fire-flies dinted the troutling pools And nothing I saw in my drowning sun could nettle or thorn My piney ways, nothing could rot my wood-craving ears For the kestrel’s qweet-a-quee rang holy In the skunk-flowered fields of Bolivar Pond.

Bolivar Pond
And dreaming of Inisfáil, I was raised on Bolivar Pond. Sheltered in my wake, I’d coo as the dewy’d morning dove And fern in my bed, I rose to greet The song-splayed sounds of light And work, I made it dropping slow Bright in the summers swoon, I was adorned in forest eves By rings that rang from tree to rook, and flung the wingèd down, Brambled in bay, garland in violet When blades could ***** and not make bleed, And I was brindled by the moon’d many shades, that liken To a brook, and mottled in my main, noted among moss In that glow, once knighted we must serve Wood, let me comb in peace!

i know my grief was born when i stood before a thousand deaths of who the people i loved used to be; i made a home to tuck myself in within the depths of their souls, i have memorized the corners of their being; their stories, their scars, and their dreams. now all that i have known and loved lay peacefully under the caskets in the graveyard of who we used to be, almost like a shedded skin most prefer to forget. i walked in this graveyard for months— weeping in the flowers i leave before them, until a slender hand laid on my shoulder, "it's about time." she said softly. "leave me flowers before you go." i replied. IA

in the graveyard of who we used to be.
Battling against a tide of cars and trains, Counting the lubs and dubs that grow faint. Penning down each tear that dries on my paper, Concealing the eye bags from every night under an intense kohl layer. Braving the fences and trenches that hurt my feet, Archiving the conversations that now go obsolete. Witchcrafting the blood moon of its glee so deep, Staining the red from my eyes to your feet. Crawling down from where you let others push me insane, Ripping me apart with the echoes of 'I'll never be the same' Uncovering the sunken eyes, shedded oodles and revealing cheek bones, Trying to be worth a coin in a city of precious stones. Still leaping miles towards you when a step you take back in repel, Tickling you in fantasies to cast on you a laughter spell. Watching those hazel eyes drool in sleep, Embracing your aura when even my pillow does weep. Pressing the backspace everytime I scribble verses, Replacing the oxymorons in us with oranamental metaphors. Letting my veins go cold n numb enough to form a rope, Hanging everything I have n to grave shall I elope.

Just verbs
On the first day of the year I woke up on the wrong side of the bed This year Nothing changed And yet everything changed The bad obscured the good Completely. Governed by disorders Trials galored Tribulations were scarce Shredding me were my emotions As I ricocheted between mood swings I took permanent residence in the doldrums Walked on the razor’s edge Sank deeper The chasm is endless Tripped by sorrow I fell on my **** Staggering, I rose Fell then rose again Only to be handed Another ******* pill Sempiternal thirst For internal calmness Remains unquenched Refusing to take anything Away from myself Veering off the pessimism lane Allowing the optimism To settle in my blood I feel compelled to admit Irregardless of the turmoil This has been a year of Milestones Transformations Achievements Realisations And fractional clarity On the blinding forest that is life I shedded my second skin As I went along Not completely renewed Almost... Or not at all I don’t know I grew some ***** As they are essential in life I blew out the candle Lit for the one Who will never be mine I watched the flame fade away But the thoughts of him did not The road ahead is the toughest yet I am placing the  few good memories Of the year in a jar To carry with me Into the forthcoming new year These memories, it seems Are for keeps.

The year that wasn’t but was.
My body is my only canvas, but my tools lack the love and bristles of a painter's brush. I am a masterpiece, an abstract of scars and freckled skin. I draw lines of blood along my arms, carve words into my thighs. I tell a story in broken lines because my voice and hands waiver. The picture I paint isn't pretty; it's coated in tears and shedded make-up, veins forever pumping blood down my cheeks. But the tale it tells is beyond skin deep, down to heart and lungs and moving limbs, the way we walk and the way we sing, how we love and are loved, despite titles and the color of our skin, the meals we've skipped or how many times we've made ourselves bleed. You may take the knife to your wrist, or pour the bleach down your throat, but you are no less beautiful than the models on TV who bear their bones and cover up the imperfections, the girls at lunch who eat whatever they want and still are as thin as the toothpicks that hold their sandwiches together, the bigger kids who learned to accept their bodies before you could ever accept yours, or the face in the mirror you've failed to associate with the one looking back.

For Those
A brief sense of history takes over my olfactory lobes Sniffing, I smell ancient burnt bricks and lime mortar My hands reach for the uneven floor piled with ages of dust and the ragged walls portraying a dull grey... Reminiscent of the times lost and stabbed by cruel hands of destiny... Pieces of carvings of flowers and animals lay scattered on the frozen grounds An eerie stillness presides over them causing my heart to tremble in an unknown sorrow... Statues, full and broken seem to lay all over as if knocked out by the ravages of time... Time... What enigma is this time? Like a vain ruler, it rules over the ruin...unaffected by the lost happiness of this once glorious kingdom... Darkness is the new king and silence the queen That reigns terror in this empty palace day and night Roots seem to have penetrated into its giant stone of a heart... And wild birds have found a shelter in its once forbidden chambers... I wander aimlessly pondering over the sights I see... The full moon shines on my face through a crack in the roof... As if wondering about the purpose of my visit into this empty land I remain silent feeling the chill of mystery that surrounds my soul... I suddenly realise that I feel solace in this vacancy... That same vacancy tries to reign over my heart... shredding it into pieces... Maybe that is why I can so much sympathise with this non living entity... It is as if my mind and the mind of this ancient structure are one and the same... We seem to connect to each other, like old lost friends... For who better can understand the essence of a ruin other than the one whose life feels like a ruin... Tired I lay over it's bare ground feeling the memories of the days gone by...The ringing laughters,the shedded tears ,the spilled secrets and the peace lost forever... Time passed over on the wings of a bat... And finally an ancient sleep took over...!

No frills tonight,I'll tell you why we hold so tight, to yesteryear and yesterday and...and last fuckin' night... before the sky broke open, lately I'd been vaguely sorta hopin'(not doin shit,just hopin')... that we'd get the magic back,that we'd bring back all the craic when it was you for me and me for you again' the world, I'm starin at the wall my mind aswirl, Then I'm starin' thru a window to the past when we KNEW that we would last forever,never ever fall apart, never ever pulled apart, by life and time and fuckin' work, we knew we were the ones to make it work!, and now I'm staring through that window to the past, like trying to piece a champagne glass, back together when it's smashed, *I'm kneelin' here with ****** fingers, tryin' to make these memories linger* REALISIN' how you'll linger there, your scent...your smile...your shedded hair(seriously I find it EVERYWHERE!) sorry hon I lost it there(but seriously your frickin' hair!) your company was past compare, I close my eyes and see you there, I pound my fist against the glass praying that you'll see the danger see the future Nuclear blast, but you're just blissfully gracefully strolling past, holding me,enfolding me emboldening me like nobody past or present ever did or will, the thrill begat the skill begat the quill of you so deep in me, thought we were our Destiny. you're under my skin like a Sinatra tattoo, but enough bout me...how bout you?

Looking Glass.
The single tear gliding to the ground landing with a plunk That no one can hear but you That single tear sailing down your cheek that tear can tell its story the story of heartbreak death sadness life and loss That single tear that you friends and family can see with clarity they will know the story of that tear as soon as they see it slide down your pale face just that one glistening tear says it all
