PROFOUND LOWER LOVE

For She rarely dreamed
Of passion and accomplishment.
For her life was ruled with
Love and affection.

While He was one of the truly
Passionate people anyone would meet.
Always burning with hope and progressive ideas.

Maybe she couldn’t have flourished with him.
Maybe he wouldn’t respect her love and affection.
Maybe she couldn’t keep up with his burning fire.
Maybe they’ll both die in the same fire.

But they rised!
For she learnt the fire out of him.
And he learned the warm blood with her.

Profound as it may sound
For they burnt and rised
With each other’s strengths
Instead of sucking on each others weaknesses.

For She would talk and talk and talk
And He would stay mute and mute and mute.
For even when she was Fil-l-ed with all the weeds and mud,
She would talk.
And he would stand mute.
For when she grew tired of talking
His silence would provide some solace.

For when her words
Were thrown back at her
By The Elders,
He’d ask her to stop.

For she was better of a fighter than him.
But never would he leave her alone.
Silence and calmness is all
He could speak with.

For even if they were too embarrassed
Of the heat of love,
Their words
Were love enough!

She studied but had to stop.
He was a better qualified scholar
than Her.
Even if their standard qualifications differed,
Both,
Were the faces and voices
Of Struggles and Fights.
Just different spaces
And different ways,
Fighting for common rights.

Having no much time
To touch and behold
To feel each others arms
And fingers
And lips,
Their heat
Would still find solace
In the heat
Of their struggles and fights.

For such is the profound lower Love
With uncommon ways
Of humour and intellect
But only aligning fights.   

ALPHA MALE: GLIMPSE OF AN INSPIRATION

We all have met men who have well formed strong physique, upright posture, who are confident and outspoken, BUT many of who tend to be very dominant, patriarchal and misogynistic. Such men tend to channelize others’ narratives around their own and have a certain disregard for others’ narratives and opinions. Such personalities can be unhealthy and condescending for other people. Sounds familiar and relatable!

Perhaps, yes. However, that’s not the story.

Recently, I met a man who had such an alpha male like aura around him and was nothing like those stereotypical kinds. Not that I was prejudiced against him, but my mind got skeptical and curious because of its experiences with such men. I was there for a group discussion and so was the man. In the group discussion the man performed wonderfully and not even for once did he interfere or dominate other people or a woman specifically. But hey! That was a group discussion. Anyone would play nice when it’s about his career. Well, that’s fairly believable.

How about I tell you about the talks I and him and other people had together after the group discussions! Not even for once the man sounded arrogant or dominant towards people who seemed to know less, towards people who spoke less, or tried to mold anyone’s narratives. The entire experience left me leaving the place with unmeasurable happiness.

Physical appearances tell us a lot about people but not everything about them. Nor is anyone really restricted by the negative theories and concepts about their personalities or physical appearances. We all have a choice- to go by “natural” conceptions that We Humans have created to fit in a stable social structure, OR we could break the stereotypes and improve ourselves to create a better social structure. Every person has that choice and she (/he) must take responsibility to break such stereotypes within herself (/himself). 

So who says, “boys will be boys“, or “men are all the same“! No, they are not. They don’t have to be when, instead, they can be better.

For it gives rise to curiosity, direction, acceptance and love.”

Stephen King in his autobiographical book “On Writing A Memoir of the Craft” writes,

“Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay?

Getting happy.”

Stay liberated, Stay lovely
