Awaiting the mellifluent music, my ears were flunked
Like an ignorant fool with long lasting echoes of silence
Trying hard to distinguish the rhythm, my heart failed
Failed again in the race that made me run like a mouse
Looking at me, someone called the name blind mouse
With broken heart, I realized that I can’t see anymore
Trying to scream on my fate was the succeeding move
Once again I broke down to articulate even a sound
They called me a dumb as I can’t even cry on pains
Consolation came from my heart trusting an arrival
An arrival of the new me, the me who rises from me
My baby, who will be me myself to live a life of desire
She will bring ears that can hear the music for a deaf
She will bring eyes that can see the beauty for a blind
Her tongue will speak the truths of the world for a dumb
Trusting at this solace, I kept me waited outside my hut
There I recalled my wait for music, vision and voice
I taught myself to forget the losses by waiting for joy
Still waiting at the time of sun leaving its day’s work
I could feel the sterile area of reproduction in body
I waited in vain; it’s true that my heart portrayed her
But my womb also failed like my ears, eyes and lips
Being a blind, my inner eyes looked at her portrait
She is smiling; I could not distinguish her intention
She must be laughing at me, for being a big failure
My inner ears could hear her singing a lovely music
In that rhythm, I also sang a song that made her sleep
