This poem explores the unsaid parts of love and healing! Much more than just expressive love.
Let’s Lie down, next to each other Straight with our backs facing upwards
Naked, bare I will let you feel my spine, It bruises and bumps, everything in between From my neck till your back Connected, like puzzle pieces And see the dimples it creates on the bottom of your back
Let’s, Look at each other And count the light in our eyes The tip of your fingers Tracing down my neck Soothing my scars out of illusion
So, let’s, Lie down, next to each other With our backs facing upwards Neither side showing the offense And slowly burden each other with Your freckles and my bruises One above the other Laidback, feel the weight build up Of emotions and weapons
Till you’re no longer soothing the scars down my neck This isn’t about love This is about delusional competition And trust me, you’re not the only one With hold of my thoughts I’ve got my back (and yours too)

Yuvaraj Shele, a small-time worker from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, did battle many odds and arranged for his mother Ratna’s wedding a few weeks ago. The main point that he put forth was that he felt his mother was lonely and saw the need for her to live happily.
A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
