She was wild wind full of vigour that he had never seen, he was embracing cloud in wind of spring.


In the merryland , he sprouted the seed of betray.


Ray of love was betray,  showers of teary rain he gifted. Her growing feelings were 
thunderbolt to his heartbeats.
Amalgamation of songs and 
they never understood the symphony.

Amongst the weeds which got wrinkled
with timely twigs, 
there was a dawn of love in his speech, 
which she mistook and nothing was known .


Reyad you told me long back at City center park,
where days were too dark .


You want me to embrace 
thunderbolts of your heart and end them, 
as wind do clean pain of forest and go beyond pars ,
who reveals and melts the cloudy and hazzy scars.


Where did your strength faded tell me 
O, egoistic man !!


Yes, I became calm and still,
Cause I saw how scared was that beast.
Whose heart was blunder, and 
beats were thunder to her 
chaotic calm seas. 


The blocks and pits on concrete streets,
from where I walked away 
reminds me of oasis amidst the sand
and tells never to stop & look back.


Eye to eye, 
When two became four, 
he craved for more sand in her merry land.
It should be filled with thorny cactus dwelling on
her  salty rainy splash.


" Due drops on his her head,
Yes it's "his her" 
It's oneness,one body, one nest
Due drops on chasmogamous head"

"ne pas plonger apprendre à flotter"
One of the best thing  learnt ever,
"Don't dive in, learn to float" through the
Lively pool. 

The beautiful scarlet hibiscus with
all those intense emotions,
Stood there in solus,
A chasmogamy is strong enough.

 You and I  
Chasmogamy and Cleistogamy  .
You bloomed, I gloomed,
But now I am sun, stronger I stood.


Noma you were naive,
Softening your smile .
So, he could kill you,
with that soft wordly knife.


Now as she is killed,
No more in those barren fields.
She runs in winds ,
which flutters the sky's wings.


So now he couldn't catch her,
As whole world she bounds.
Still free and furious 
As wind so curious, she sprouts.


So hibiscus and sunflower
Scarlet and sunny shower. 
Sings the songs of 
Him and her.


But they never knew
the two different echoes
They hum,
Were same, single and one .

He is she ,
Was cloud and wind herself,
Was male and female both sex,
Chasmogamy !!

Note for readers :


 CHASMOGAMY & CLEISTOGAMY are terms used in plant reproductive mechanism. 

• Chasmogamous flowers - are cross pollinating flowers.

• Cleistogamous flowers - are self pollinating flowers.


The poetry revolves around a life of trans boy & inner battles that he faught to embrace his true core and existence. Before facing the chasmogamous society and  confessing his truth there were so many thoughts and battles to be faught and gain victory over his paradox thoughts.

You ~ refers his physical form as man
I ~ refers the core of his hidden existence which he feels and he actually fights for (woman/female).

So, the voice of his heart and head contradicts, in Chasmogamous society, Cleistogamous flowers finds it's existence difficult. 


Chasmogamous society articulates a monotonous and very rigid mindset and attitude towards people who are different from rest. Different in whatever aspect, but still this is fact that society doesn't accept these things easily but before fighting "for the self" there is also an undefined battle of feelings faught "with the self"

Which makes them different, unique, generous and stronger than rest .
