Tightly curled pink hands
Bundles of delight
Swaddled in pink blankets
Cherubic Angels with ruby lips
Baby girls made of all things sweet and spice
Daddy’s little girls and mama’s heartbeats
Rosy hues with fairy wings
Gossamer shimmer on dainty tips
Long haired Devis in temples of yore
Adorned with tiaras in Nepal’s mountains up high
Goddess incarnate in Indian legends
A Sati , Savitri or Veena Pustak Dharini
Shakti today and Kali next
The slayer of demons astride a tiger
Who would have known that the land that worships you
Will treat you so harshly ?
Gang raped and throat slashed ?
Whipped , beaten in the shelter of four walls
Your body marauded , your spirit crushed ?
Servile , meek and left to die
With full blown AIDS in halls of hell ?
No , you don’t give in ,you wondrous one
You awake from your ashes and snarl at your deflowerer
You arise like the Phoenix and devour the demons
You are the beatific light of love
You infuse the streams with the milk of love
You perfume the desert with the scent of musk
You are love , love , love
Grateful to have you my baby girl !
