Limitations

Farooq
What?
I have a realization that
all power comes with limitations;
Like the limitation of superheroes
If you carefully take the examples
of Spider-Man or may be the best
example is Superman
-Kryptonite....He smiled
-Yes, Kryptonite..We all know.
Similarly, my feeble power (given!) has
great limitations; 
What is revealed is half of the truth;
And the other half is never shown.

Ugly Babies

She said
babies could be ugly
Do you know that?

--Yes, I know.
Definitely, not all
babies are beautiful.

While coming back from
a new mom's home
we had this conversation.

Then I said
but you can't tell that
to a new mom!
You have to just lie
Awww! they are lovely
such a cute face..
Awww! that will be the harshest
And we giggled.

We both were walking
with our thoughts. 

And I said:
But every mother knows
if their babies are ugly
They just know it by their heart.

And they try to fix it
the way they can
She said.
 
We were silent.

Thin Lips

Both of us have
thin lips
Your mom and I;
Her hair is curly
Mine Straight
But becomes wavy
While in the air.

Another Twist

There is another twist in my story
The story of Sam and me.
Sam, wanted to make me jealous
So, he started giving importance to
another girl of his own cohort
I noticed...but he didn't know
that I am made of another type of clay
The strength of mine is others' flaw.
Seeing this, I felt may be
he wanted to get rid of me!
I took the hint
I made myself stubborn
And decided to move away
He didn't want to lose the friendship though
But it was hard to continue
'cause, I knew
we were more than friends
So, I quit.

Strategic Move I

Finding my foundation
was difficult, and will be;
Since the lockdown
they have made their strategic moves
to understand my future goal!
First honeybee buzzed, then the silver fish in bowl
and finally they wanted me to be trapped
set by the sweet candy of Bengal.
But I remained silent
and quite successful in my diplomacy.
They too know
I don't deserve this
and that is the basic reason
they tried hard to make me a volcano
who would erupt
and information would pour out
like a lava flow.

Attraction

I don't want to write it as "conversation."
I am tired of that mode
got bored actually.

Do you know
there are different types of attractions?
--What are those types?
Sensual, Sexual, Romantic, Platonic, and Aesthetic
She replied.
What do you think works more between us?
She asked.

Hmm. I think romantic, sensual, and
a bit of aesthetic too.

YEP! we are hetero-romantic asexual
And you are right
You have aesthetic attractions
especially to other women.

--Do we reproduce through budding?
NAY....(both laughed)

The battle

There was a leopard;
Reared by another leopard
Let's call it leopard mother;
Leopard mother reared the baby leopard
Not with good intention
Rather, the intention was to earn profit.
The baby leopard was in oblivilion
And never had any doubt
The baby leopard also lacked
power of analysis.
Now, when time came to have her first prey
Leopard mother came in the forefront.
It was an easy prey! She was happy!
The baby leopard was happy too.
Now, some time passed.
The Bengal tigress arrived in the scene
By the blessing of almighty
To tear them apart.
But in the battle, she got wounded
And became more angry
However, the battle was not a single one
There were multiple battles going on...
So, the tigress gathered her last strength
To give them the final blow.
The mother leopard retreated
And decided not to disturb her again.
