You stand stark Tall, unflinching and defiant Against a canvas of menstrual red That heralds the coming of your womanhood That lures the hyenas and human wolves That seeks to turn your beauty into shame You stand stark Tall, unflinching and defiant Against a canvas of vermillon red That swaps maidenhood for matrimonial shackles That…

There are a million capsized days when I see you floating in the distance just before the horizon hiding my defeated sun with your cloaked mist.

You stare back at me, In thousand forms, Smiling, Laughing, Sometimes annoyed, Sometimes exasperated, But to me, Lovable in every way, Like myriad images from a broken mirror, Like a thousand moons reflected through puddles, Like sun rays reflecting from each  shining wave , like numerous stars shining in the Milky Way.
