                      Wake up, Woman 
                             and other poems.



     Wake up, Woman

    woman was created, second born.
    not from feet, so as to trample on;
    not from the crown, to be reigned  upon;

    but from a man's ribs, to be equal.
    yet, abused and treated so casual,
    made to do all the duties manual.

    family is a woman's weakness
    becomes her invisible harness,
    until, she dries up from the harshness.

    yet, I believe women are abused,
    because they, somehow, allow so.
    fight! and the control is reduced.
    we are not born, to be slaves of woe.

    mothers and wives, so do sacrifice,
    to keep all her family suffice.
    yet, young ones say, it destroys them more,
    to see their mothers suffer torture.

    we, as women, have the right of choice.
    there's a way, let them hear our voice.
    if we really open our eyes,
    there is no need to live with the lies.



    Where Are You Now?

    where are you now, my sweet flower?
    when all my pains and grief gather.
    when tomorrow seems much darker.
    and my wish to fly, would falter.

    Where are you now?

    where are you now, my sweet flower?
    when my current life, I ponder .
    when all my friends, are now strangers.
    and your love, I start to wonder.

    Where are you now?

    where are you now, my sweet flower?
    make my dreams sweet and much brighter .
    help make my pains a bit lighter.
    and be with me, all forever.

    Where are you now?

    I am right here, my true lover.
    I know where you are, my sweet dreamer.
    you are in my heart forever
    and I promise to leave you, never.

    Where are you now?

    Knots of Gnats

    A repulsive gnat for you I maybe
    too insignificant for others to see
    boring and irritating as can be

    but I have my individuality
    each gnat has its own personality
    certainly proud of my identity

    I may not fly across the open sea
    I may not sit with you, have a cup of tea
    but I would not mind a bite of your knee

    wings that cannot go higher up a tree
    life span that goes no longer than day three
    yet we surpass you in numbers so free

    with little sharp swords to prick you easy
    to fight, protect and fill our tummy
    sorry but your blood do taste so Yummy!

    harmless we may seem for being tiny
    our stings brought death to humans so many
    gnats we may be but we are not puny!


    The Banquet

    once in the banquet of nymphs and goddess
    all are yearning for ambrosia's sweetness
    simmering desires are boiling ardours
    within those arms give them hope for favors

    watch the flowers blooming with awareness
    feel the thirst of the flourishing forest
    of present situation meditate
    fervent needs to be quenched  they supplicate

    once one is enticed by nature's fragrance
    unknowingly depleting endurance
    where is it now, warrior's famed prowess
    sharpen your senses to gain an access

    should the Vulcan have his lonely tantrums
    lavas flow from disturbed doldrums
    pleading understanding and attention
    release the fire from its mounting tension

    enjoy the banquet of nymphs and goddess
    fulfil their yearnings for nature's sweetness
    match their desires of boiling ardours
    within those arms give them hope for favors
