The justifications you give this time is not enough. They can hardly fill the void this time in greed for your greater needs. And let you be forgiven by the progeny.

When Honour Kills…

Slaughtered, slaughtered, slaughtered!
In a nation, where beasts are worshiped.
You get killed in the name of honour.
Aa! What a progressive state of mind?
We, pity you!

Honour and dishonour battles alike-
During the time of death.
With no sentiments,working in between.
It's the same O2 that fills the lung,
And leaves it empty.

I wished to live many more years.
I wished to taste every dip of life.
And when you made me leave this early-
It's not just my dreams have perished,
But it was my promise too.

The promises I made to each around me.
The promise I made to the beast and the berry.
The promise I made to the progeny.
The promise I made to the dead, who gone before me.

And you made me leave, 
In my initial race with rare things done.
And you say it's for honour.
In a world where honour and dishonour battle.
Yet in terms of not love, truth or compassion but differences.

Can something be Constant?

Can something be Constant? Nothing can be, not even you  can consistently be constant  to a person, a place or a thing. And we bring the changes  we bring the consistent changes  and embrace them  as it let's the unbound Liberty  to shift from a person to another  a place to another place  and a thing instead of another, of all  which you were so fond of at one time. © Parvathy Ramachandran

Yes, it's a fine age. She is in her 40's.

Her 40's I have known many times- my heart stopping the beat I have known many times- my heart beating much more it needs still I keep searching for, when I ever know it couldn't be found  it couldn't be found here and there it couldn't be found now and then  it couldn't be found  in no one else  than to me… Yet the search  is one fine beautiful journey that thrills and kills. I am a woman in the 40's And I ought to go through pain  and pleasure  The pleasure of postpartum, eased the pain of all tougher journeys  yet to handle  And if I couldn't, who can  and no woman can The pain can't just kill it thrills instead, as if you race a car  and run a machine  the machine only a woman  can handle in all thrill and she deals with the  throb of a heart  and listens to the cries of  postpartum, where she  discovers a new mother a new woman  a phenomenal new woman  and the phenomenally old...

I still retain my eight letter name. I know a day when You and I got to leave I have to finely decorate the space in all extravaganza.

Image
My Eight Letter Name Clement was his name,  till sometime back. But now he is known as Ment! Who, why, when or whom- was it shortened? Nothing easy would leave it's mark, And I assume Ment too wouldn't. The sweet notes we exchanged,  never persuaded him for that. For I always loved my Clement, Exactly the way he was. And I never wanted him to alter himself even though fate accepeted him as Ment. But, soon I realized he too wanted to live  in a world that was easy, much easy. But I couldn't dare to find out the reasons Why easiness struck him too? Still I found the world turning yellow  Slowly, slowly and my desires died along. And many including my Clement, shortened their names. But I retained my eight letter name,  To be finely engraved on my grave  A day when you and I leave. Yet a day you and I should. © Parvathy Ramachandran
