The cell named orphan!

At last
My diligence paid,
As I
Passed the peril,
Inside which
you were laid

The SPERM

I lay here
Pining your arrival
And
your advent denotes
my survival

The OVUM

Eventually
fusion is
done
And the two cells
become one

The ZYGOTE

Alike others
nurtured in the womb
for the same span
but
thrown into the
trash can

The ORPHAN!

Condemning parents(?) disowning the new born rather than aborting at an earlier stage

CLASSIC

Stumbled inside
the barriers,
toiled until it
left the carriers

Now,

Endurance rewarded
and it saves lives
Cures ailments, sans
blood and knives

Light
turned
.
.
.
LASER

CLASSIC

P.S. Barriers refer to the two mirrors used in the production of laser and carrier to the medium in which laser is produced before being let out [:)]

D(R)ESERVED!

Neither do i drink elixir
and breathe neon
Nor did God gift me
with additional neurons

Didn't your genes bear
the literacy that mine did?
Then why is it that
I am being forbid?

We went to school
dressed in similar skirts
but, you have no clue
how much it hurts

When I deserve it
more than you do
and they say they
have it RESERVED for you!

P.S. No offense meant to the deserving candidates of reservation. This poem is for people who have been well educated for generations but still make use of the reservations!

Bloody betrayal

His ghostly eyes
denying solace
Sucking life out
in a slow pace

Teeth of betrayal
piercing my pelt
Despite the tremors
pleading, i knelt

No heads tilt
No blood spilt
Yet
I savored in silence
The vampire kiss
