The man with no face!


The day never died.
My night never woke.
Sleeping together , like us;
For him dusk was the dawn.

My life never ceased,
With the weather or disease.
My night was his day;
He would come,
         come  what may!

A bite on my neck.
A kiss on my lips.
As his hands slip down;
A tear slips down my beliefs.

The man has no name.
No face, to be ashamed.
A thousand different choices I had.
But the door opened this way.

A bastard, my baby boy.
Sleeping under the drugged sky.
Through the moonlight that escaped.
I see the man with no face
                   -feeling  me all over again.

As my baby stirs,
A 500 ruppee note slips under my bed.
And as my girl opens the veil,
I live in dark , all over again.

Tomorrow the face would change,
The same hungry soul with a different name.
And as I feed my girl through my scarred chest, I decide;
Her body would never be for sale!
