I swam 
in ocean of difficulties 
infested by the heartless 
sharks of hate 
and repugnant reptiles 
of social norms 
The mountainous waves 
of taunts chided me 
the twirling 
twisters of taboo 
threatened me 
The undersea 
volcano of criticism 
gnawed my very soul 
But, 
I steadied 
my wavering ship of will 
The sun of hope 
was beckoning 
me at horizon 
Gasping, 
I, clasped 
the reflected sunrays 
with both hands
like a summer-dried fountain 
awaits those raindrops
just to remain afloat, 
I burnt 
my last dropp of
blood to 
keep my body engine  breathing. 
At last, 
the stubborn 
fate succumbed 
and genuflected 
to my immobile will 
Ah, I reached 
the shore of love 
the divine love
Anjali
