Concealed Cries (Poem) : Rajesh Adhikari

Aptly a pitiless nightmare, my mom goes to heaven
making me orphan when I was only of seven
My cry for the moon for regaining my lost mother
My widower father gifted me a step mother
Step Mom! I know I am not your own blood
Thought, for you my heart ejects loving flood
You are my godly gift presented by my father
fulfilling the emptiness of my departed mother
I greet you as embodiment of my deceased mom
who is peering at us from the heavenly tomb
I passionately beseech your kind heart
overflowing stream of motherly love
God gave you to me for my comfort zone
and to wipe tears of mine with sweet tone
I wanna hug your safeguarding chest with darling zeal
Drizzling my daughterly hidden dreams ever to unseal
my heart begs to be cleansed with your motherly cares
but you shut your eyes to smash my cravings for interheart shares
I conked out to gain mildly motherhood from my step mom
My often go to heart runs to the tomb rejoining my buried mom
I offer tears to my entombed mom coming from my melted heart
I disguise being happy with incarnated mom in a family drama bit part
I couldn’t endure menarche pain when I stepped on youth world
Neither could share you my occurrence nor bear it so I myself furled
I ran to the graveyard to meet my dug mom pondering my unbearable pain
I revealed her my volcanic emotions soaking and hitting by thundered rain
circumstances forced me to sacrifice my cupid nights to crucial days
I am living life in hope beyond hope wishing yet to see cheerful rays

The end
