Woman’s resoluteness
Guilt, qualm, shame, stigma or repercussion:
None of them will weigh with a woman as much
As her feelings that she is not that cheep
And that let him not snatch her that easy,
When she refuses to yield corporally
Even to the man of his choice outside.

Pursuit is in vain
Guilt is her guard.
Qualm is her ward.
Shame is her watch.
Fellow women are a threat.
Repercussion is a sword.
Above all self esteem is a dog.
Neither privacy, nor proximity,
Nor secrecy can help man rob
A woman’s body in his pursuit.

Shame must be supreme
Repercussion might threaten you.
Guilt and qualm might forbid you.
Self esteem might block you.
It is shame that bridles you
From committing adultery.
Shame must be supreme in a society.

The hard nut to crack
Guilt, fear, qualm and shame
Took leave from modern woman
From standing against her modesty.
Notwithstanding proximity,
Secrecy, and independence,
Her self-esteem has taken that place.
She has become a hard nut to crack
Though soaked in free water overnight.

Smoke without fire
Any woman of repute,
however it might happen
that she was close with a man
of her choice or liking,
will not throw away her
fame, name and virtue,
more over her self esteem,
and have her husband cuckolded,
to commit the crime
to get the stigma of shame
and stand ever scathed.
But the world refuses to believe.
The scandal spreads like fire.
A smoke without fire.

The self esteem
No longer stays the guilt.
No longer sticks the qualm.
No longer sits the shyness.
Shame too has lost its shine.
Yet modern women
Are inaccessible to men.
It is their self esteem
That stands in the way.

A woman’s peril
A woman lives against her will
And kills most of her thrills.
Guilt, shame, repercussion and self esteem.
Would stand against her thrills.

Civilizations Matter
Stigma, shame and qualm are the warnings
Built by a civilization in human minds,
That all form man’s conscience that controls
Man from committing all immoral acts.

Not to be cheep
A man takes it granted that a woman,
Whose mate in his view seems low someway,
Could be approachable, and thus reaches.
To prove that she’s not cheep, she’ll spit.

136 Syllables at Rocky Mountain Dharma Center
Tail turned to red sunset on a juniper crown a lone magpie cawks.
Mad at Oryoki in the shrine-room -- Thistles blossomed late afternoon.
Put on my shirt and took it off in the sun walking the path to lunch.
A dandelion seed floats above the marsh grass with the mosquitos.
At 4 A.M. the two middleaged men sleeping together holding hands.
In the half-light of dawn a few birds warble under the Pleiades.
Sky reddens behind fir trees, larks twitter, sparrows cheep cheep cheep
cheep cheep.

Cheap and used
Not a widow, nor a divorcee,
Neither a virgin nor a princess,
Neither an estranged nor a sidelined,
Neither one on revenge nor one sporting,
A woman still refuses to sleep
With the man she is interested in,
In spite of proximity, intimacy,
Secrecy, opportunity and drives,
Not from quilt, nor from qualms,
Not from fear nor from shame
But from the innate feeling
That by that she would put herself
As a cheap and used one..

Women are unfortunate
You may succeed in eliciting
Love from a woman, putting efforts.
The stigma warns and the guilt scares.
The spying eyes are everywhere.
The love of most woman withers
Like seeds and flowers in the forest

When is sex more interesting.?
Stripping of the clothes against shyness,
Tearing of shyness against resistance
And raping modesty against pretence
Will make sex interesting to the pair,
Which a stranger gets from her woman
And which a man from a harlot is denied.
A paramour will be a step higher
In that he drives out woman’s guilt and qualm.

Woman, a stored lust
.
Two men when in chat more often than not refer
To a woman of their interest. No shame.
Two women when in gossip never refer
To a man of their interest. Full of shame.
Qualm seals the libido.

Conscience is silenced
Butchers have no guilt that they have slaughtered.
Choppers have no guilt that they have chopped
Fishermen have no guilt for their catch.
Soldiers have no guilt for their killings
Killing as profession will silence one’s conscience.

The victim of rapes
But for a little force,
Can a woman be brought to bed?
But for a little yield,
Can a woman be entered?
Man is the victim of rapes.

Another day to remember
That day is the day with rebound of joy.
She waited as I told, and had my call.
The same flavour was in her talk, I saw.
Her love hasn’t gone stale by time and space.
To love out of contest, one is contrite.
To leave any evidence, one is afraid.
The stage of guilt, she has passed.
The stage of qualm she is yet to pass.
Whether the qualm withers or not
Let the summer come to wilt it out.

Men would wander
Stigma attached to widowhood removed,
No woman would care to nurse her husband.
Disgrace clung to divorce taken away,
No woman would tolerate her husband.
Shame of infidelity wiped out,
No woman would mind ditching her husband.
Glory of virginity fast dying,
No woman would stay pure for her marriage
Shackles attached to her broken away,
Men, insecure by nature, would wander.

A cock’s triumph
A woman refuses to yield
To a man as in him she sees a cock
That will flap his wings with triumph
Over his down trod mistress after.

Wasted Moments
There are wasted moments
when I was afraid.
Afraid to set myself free.
Free from the stigma
that had been implanted in me.
It was for someone else’s guilt,
but I lived with it and suffered,
never letting myself be me.
I was constantly told
if you do this or that
you will bring shame upon the family,
but they were frightened of their own shame
and wanted to burden it on me.
I grew up afraid of being me
and setting myself free,
doing the things I should have done,
but never did.
Now I live with regret
for the wasted moments in my life.

Resurrect the old culture.
The culture is rich
Where guilt, conscience and shame warn.
The culture is fair
Where repercussion and prosecution warn.
The culture is poor
Where escape is the root to success.
Culture stands for name.
Greed and insecurity have marred it.
It is high time for parents
To ask their children to resurrect the old.
