MAHBUBA SHAMA

Shard dreams cry overnight
Camaraderie of us two
Night owls sing for our wedding
As we embrace out tight
...

I have lost your love now
You have never loved me
It was only carnal desire
Fulfilled by imo, WhatsApp, fb camera
...

You took off my undergarments
You took away my virginity
Now I am impure according to you
I am not worthy of you
...

Why do you hide your true feelings for me, my love?
Why do you stay aloof ignoring me
I can read your heart
I know your soul
...

Wearing tight hot burkha
Red lipstick
Eye makeup
Tight bottom tight
...

Yes, I am jobless now
The burden of my family
1-2 lakh is spent on me
So all are panicking
...

They have burned my body together
Like a carcass I screamed I panicked
Still my in-laws heard nothing
As if I am a lifeless candle
...

The worm of body
cutted me sharp
as deep melancholy bites me excruciatingly
my husband lives abroad
...

This is the platform of sleepless nights
As owls spread their big wings
the dark dearth desire drowns deep
I use men for my material gains in nocturnality
...

The scars inside bursts out weeping
it was a heinous murder
at 15 I committed this sin
Who will accept a teenage fatherless child?
...

Thanks for the luxury items daddy
Car, bag, jewelleries, dresses, shoes
I love the exotic foreign trips
Thailand, USA, UK, Malaysian views
...

It is an age of career for men
Bangladeshi boys are still children
Some having girls others single
Parents want them to work hard
...

My whole body is dark
Skin looks like kali goddess
She is respected but me rejected
Who will marry me?
...

My bra strap peeks out, plain to see,
A white one, round cup,38D.
So large, it draws every man's glance,
Captivating eyes at every chance.
...

Homemaker or housewife,
a 24-hour restless life.
No increment, no promotion,
endless chores in constant motion.
...

You died at such a young age
only 28
This was not the time to let you go
but…
...

My existence is now at stake
I am thinking of ending my life
i trusted you with all I have
but you?
...

You are women's best friend
always found in the purse
Prostitutes use it red
to connect to their customers
...

every night i cry
within me you enter
a beast within me
i cry out loud
...

at 29 after post graduation
i had no job
family rebuked me as if i am nothing
...
