without a camera she watches
through
the aperture of her eye
she knows she is ready
I will click the trigger
by and by
two photographers
master and disciple
changing places
you know why
a poetic pause
held captive
that wont fly
marziya shakir
successor
to my heritage
when I die

Marziya and My Camera Eye
Happy Motherless Day
pain of being motherless
hits us hard on mothers day
on the pavements of mumbai
we beg live and play
Happy Motherless Day
being motherless means
never having to say you are sorry
even when you are having a bad day
come what may
we always find our way
Surrogate Mothers Day
given on rent and hire
thats how I spend my day
carried on the waist
of another child
surrogate mothers day
Happy Motherless Day
A borrowed school uniform
I beg on the streets
where I stay
Mother
is only a tag
Google Searching
my sorrow today
Happy Motherless Day
Mother
Oh Mother
Sweet Mother
No more than this
Can I say
you made me a mother
by the way
with gratitude
I look after your new born
now that you have
passed away
Happy Motherless Day
i was a burden
to you
to father
now you
have left me and gone away
a pavement my life's shelter
happy motherless day
