Hann and Beth

when beth and hann had to leave

I thought I might just well forget them

as the others had told me

they would never be back

hann came and kissed my cheeks

leaving a trace of her scent

it was quite hard

to tell her she was special

but it was more hard when

beth told me she would be going away

away and forever away from me

the same usual nose to nose touch

and she ran ...ran as fast as she could

may be i was crying

may be she was

I wasn't quite sure whose tears were rolling down

my cheeks

and touched the spot where hann had kissed

it burnt

burnt so hard that i had to wash my face

and realize i wasn't myself

any more

or was I like this always

and had just changed with their

presence

beth

and hann

her name was hanna beth

she was my love

my first love

and now she was gone

dwelt back to the darkness of reality

I was not sure where I belonged

I had to pinch to know

and landed up in the brothels of London

and stood aside

with the spotless white camisole

to cover the last remaining dignity

I could run away

like beth and hanna did

or I could stay

like hanna beth

like me

my name

my identity

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat

Smile

Smile And the world shall laugh at your face Cry And the world shall laugh at your face Run And the world might still be laughing at your face How synthetic this emotions seem When a girl cries or smiles Or runs with joy or fear Here and There And everywhere When Death is so near Let alone this world feel ashamed Of her chastity might proclaim And if she is not to be true Honor killing will do To save our names and bonds And the status we built upon The walls so high To not let her fly And chain her down With red bangles Fly my friend And let the world know You are free Free to be Me - Saswati Barat
