How do I say this? How do I convey in coherent means This booming tune that plays in my depths? How do I describe it? This doleful, restless tune That does not translate in to words? In what language does sorrow sing? What syllables do loneliness utter? What letters can spell raging, venomous indifference That twists and turns creating [...]
How many secret tears to be shed Until these drops are kissed goodbye? How many barbed wires to be licked With a bleeding tongue that dare not miss Already marked with traversing scars. How many more good friends to be lost? How many years will pass us by? Trapped within suffocating walls Of stinking corpses [...]
The sun Mocks and teases, brings one to their knees Licks the face with its fiery tongue Burns, comforts, The warmth. Alone Watched the essence of life evaporate In the infernal, dreary fog of the mind. Behind The glazed eyes, the words, the smiles There hides an emptiness that words cannot define. The distance Grows, familiarity fades [...]
Sometimes, Insides go numb. Sometimes They burn. Indifference flares the best of us sometimes On a deserted land I stand, memories swim in the surrounding water Fangs sharp, noses pointed Seems like they’ve just smelt bait, defenseless, vulnerable. Words fall on inattentive ears, drip away Like rain drops on roof tiles Losing their worth. Dripping to the ground, down [...]
I am paper Blank, yielding paper I am yours To scrawl hearts all over, to scribble, to paint To ruin, to burn Burn to cinders. I am yours To tear up in pieces Crumple up, walk all over As you see fit When you see fit.
Accused of a distant past, Painful old memories flitted across the mind, Memories long buried emerged out of their graves Stabbed with their soiled daggers, pointed chest-wards Their crystal blades, Shattered inside the flesh, left splinters Stuck inside the festering wounds. Whispered conspiracy oozed, feelings Of estrangement, loneliness long suppressed Insecurities raised their rotting [...] ...
Darkness came Yes it came, on an unsuspecting day Uncharacteristically nimble on its great clawed feet. It whispered Through its clenched teeth, hateful whispers Abominable whispers Its breath stank of wasted lives, its spit tasted of minds lost It whispered, sent thousand spiders scuttling through the ears, A mind whimpered As spiders spun their crafty [...]
Rain drizzled, they said That the little rascal drops caressed the tinkling leaves Tickled the tree bark nipples, aroused The sleeping world. Rain teased Cascaded in silvery streams, they said That rain was exquisite, and that Rain soothed. Bull crap I’d say Rain screamed, As its putrefactive juices overflowed From its long aching wounds As bloated cloud bellies swollen [...]
Night closes in, smothers The living with its heavy, wet blankets Of tears, of longing Presses to the face in all its dexerity That sly, ugly thing, suffocates As breath quickens and Slowly comes to a halt. When smiles don’t brighten the day, when The dawn breaks glass splinters All over the face, when all [...]
Fire burned,burn Burn to cinders, life Disapears, fading Fading,fading Now a mere shadow With no meaning Growing cold,cold Like a a broken wing,helpless Scared,scared Fragile, breaking Life ceases breathing Slowly,slowly Yet surely Tick,ticking life Ticks away,gradually Like a dying man’s heart Stops beating.
Perfection reeks, coils around Serpentine fake smiles Hiss. Hollow words Drop. Emotionless eyes Devour. They Seek to lure. A mind Perches on a leafless branch Barren. And wonders Where have all the flowers gone Empty words Resonating through the ears,comforts Provokes that first angry word Directed at a sincere heart,a poisoned dart First dazes,then paralyzes [...]
Future smiles with outstretched arms I, Run like a child,seeking warmth Of its mother’s safe arms. But in my careless haste,sometimes I scratch myself on the briers that line my way I trip,feet bound with lies, I fall In to snares laid with deceit, Run a stake or two through the heart, I bleed I cry, I [...]
Yes, we are, but walking shadows Not knowing when the light falls When the light goes we disappear We are wanted no more. Candle light,it flickers We watch moths die,burn In the flame,we try To save them,at times We lure, we kill For our own gain too.We are But human. Out,out brief candle We deceive [...]
Mermaids’ tears Lie glistening,glittering jewels on the sand These tears do count,yet these maids of the sea Have stone cold hearts,they could not feel. What happens to the tears we cry? The we who feel,the we who hurt Do they gleam? Do they glisten in the sun? Does anyone see? Do they even count? The [...]
Mind creates pearls Of things that prick, memories That jab,stories That can tear apart. Mind decides to cloud The ugly that stares right at the face, swath it in sparkling shawls Dress up the grotesque, the painful Decides not to believe what is clear as the day Decides to live with what pricks What stabs. [...]
Rain spattered across the cellophane, I Cried. I cried for the moon That shone up in the sky. We huddled together, the night Was cold, the sheets Tattered. We shivered Yet not from fear. Each Fell asleep to the lullabies Of stomach rumblings,tuk tuks whirring Water [...]
In a city Of smiling,toothless beggars rattling tins Of pity In a city Of thousand scorching suns, merciless iron faced monsters on wheels In a city Of dust-caked hearts and dust-clogged brains,sinking dreams rotting in Clogged-up drains In a city Painted with remorse,built with pain In a city of debt, in a city of the [...]
Dark clouds creep in, threaten To throttle the horizon, thunder growls Lightning menaces It already struck once, once upon a time Almost killed But we live with the belief That it never strikes the same place twice. Coldness reigns, chills the bones, indifference Oh indifference, carry me away Did lightning strike again? I hope not, because [...]
C’est un monde catastrophique Une catastrophe des papiers froissés, des pensées melangées, La différence entre ce qui est dit et Ce que je crois d’être vrai. La terre est une cimetière indifférent Où marchent les morts-vivants plastiques De douces paroles trompeuses Que certains choisissent de croire. Parfois, il vaut mieux de ne pas savoir l’ignorance est une bénédiction [...]
Overcast skies, wrought With pain,clouds Writhed in agony,lashed out Blasphemy in silvery light Drilled holes Through their injured bodies Thunder groaned, havoc broke Ripped the sky apart, spat out A wailing, churlish babe from a mother’s womb. Water broke. A tortured butterfly wing Stabbed, chopped and crushed, shivered Trembled on to the earth, twisting And [...]
