EMBRYONEMESIS


EMBRYONEMESIS
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

It was a molecular and chemical event
Where for the first time the egg and sperm met
They developed a bond very strong
Then a fresh new embryo was made
Over time and blastulations
It turned into a fetus of cells
The tissues and organs gradually formed
With the chromosomes determining its genetic fate
In this story there was no chromosome "Y"
It was a double X fetus, a female child
The story could have continued with chapters more
But some morons stopped it at this juncture here
They dont care! The illiterate ones
They can't hear a little heart beat in there
How else could these ruthless psychopaths..
Forget that they were born of a female mother's care?

Nocturnal Psyche

NOCTURNAL PSYCHE
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

After a long day of an usual life
The night lullabies you to sleep
And although you rest your flesh and blood
The mind may not be at peace
Physically you lay still and free
But mentally occupied in thoughts
Reflect on the day gone by
Smiling at gains or reminiscing the loss
Then walks in through the doors
Reasons, songs or some poetic rhymes
You keep them to yourself in your mind
The nocturnal creative psyche
Heaps of stuff thus gets stored in there
Some other nights you may again rewind
But when does the sleep overtake?
And when chronicles of dream unwind?
The mystery is yet unsolved to me
As it is…. Dawn already? My wake up time!
