IT'S RAINING, MA!

Ma, remember the rain?

You and I under one umbrella

Walking back from school!

You laughed while I skipped in joy,

Indignantly jumping on some puddles

While you reprimanded me!

Ma, see...it's raining again

Today!

I want to take you on a long ride

And see you reprimand me sternly again,

When I force you to get wet in the rain!

Ma, I deliberately lost that brown umbrella you bought for me 'cause today I want the rain to wash away your pain!

BLACK!

Somewhere in the depths of a distance

The clock sleepily struck one,

While you writhed in a pain

Unimaginable!

I couldn't feel you….your pain!

Only helplessness!

You told me, "I am in extreme distress,

Give me respite, Lord!"

In your wish to break free

You also prayed for more life,

To laugh more,

To love a while,

To watch the rain,

To croon babies,

To smell roses…..and then?

Ma, was it the moment when I caressed you to the warmth of my breasts that you became my daughter?

FORGET ME NOT!

The purple and white orbs

In small and big,

With petals in shapes of the heart,

Soft as a baby’s cheeks,

Haloed in green

I wish to grow in your garden

Will you ever forget me

When I am long gone?

And when your hair turns grey

And you can but hardly see

The beauty of you and me

I wonder

Will you still reminisce

The warmth of my womb

And breasts?

But aren't mothers and daughters supposed to grow old together?
