Flowers

We’ve seen flowers
Of all colours
Flowers that are bright
Flowers, blue and nice

Flowers that invite bees
Flowers that kiss breeze
Beautiful flowers

Flowers are different
Some hold strong firmament
This flower radiates fragrance of scent
Opens its petals for my sake
Kindles my heart
Knows not the word ‘hurt’
Passionate and loving flower

Beware of phony flowers!
Which pretend to fulfill heart desires
Flowers with uncircumcised petals 
Blooming flowers 
With smouldering pollen
Burning anther and stigma 
Unforgiving flowers
In turmoil; fighting with hard lines
Opening mystery drawers
Where they hide concoction 
Poisoning your soul without remorse
Macabre flowers

Forgive Me

I’m sorry for the decision I made
I’m sorry for abetting your fate
Forgive me as I vomit the truth today,
As it might be hard to digest
But for the sake of my peace, allow me to confess
Because If I don’t do it, 
my troubled soul won’t rest

I’m sorry I threw you in a battle with pills
Which you failed to endure
Your life was prodded before it had the chance to greet the world
Your corpse was transported in a pool of blood
The same lane you were supposed to travel alive

I confess I found trouble in your presence
I confess I was afraid that in few months,
My middle part will broadcast to the world
Papa will beat me
Mama will be angry with me
My sisters and brothers will reject me
My future will be crumbled
I will lose my dignity
That’s how I defended my stupidity

For silly reasons I saw you as a mistake,
I judged you as a fruit of little worth
A condemned fruit
Not befitting in my days of fun

But son/daughter,
From your heavenly window,
Look at me, 
See the shame in my eyes
And fear of reality
Memories haunting me day and night
Realizing what I did wasn’t right
Forgive me

Beginning of End

Let me write about her recent behavior
In an attempt to put mine on her lips 
She wipes my mouth with resentment
Sometimes landing fingerprints of anger
 on my cheeks

When I try entering her doors
She barks at me like a hungry dog
Freezing me with cold air
Outside the gate of confusion
Exhaling me as if I’m a mist
Ruined on the city road

I’m only a man
Weeping silently 
But no one sees my tears, 
my pain
As I’m crying in rain
