between the Indian Army
with the soldiers from Pakistan

My name is Yogendra Singh Yadav
a grenadier awarded the Param Vr Chakra
the highest honour for gallantry
this is how...

Am I a body? Am I a mind? Or bundle of both?
Does blood, as though ordered, only through single channel flow?
Is heart seat of mind? Does mind to dwell-in heart take an oath?
Do veins, like...

Euphoric, I rush to you, Lord, unaware I'm naked.
In your presence, my physique and psyche are elated

Known for arms of a lovely lotus stem,
Visage of moon’s sleepless silver,  
Eyes like smiling lilies in lake, 
And smile of  a full moon’s sliver,
To win as wife, a woman of such fame,

Extrude sorrow for the ones that are still living,
Should we not be the preacher who is never distressed?
