Begone oh Promiscuous

Oh promiscuous, your ambiguity has baffled me 
The thunderous cacophony of your dreams
Has awoken me and rendered my nights sleepless
For you have to conquer the battle you started yourself
No, do not try to fathom my life into your promiscuity
I shall neither be thy prey, nor your mistress 
You have played enough games
And won each and every one of them
Why, oh why do you have to then
Play with my holiness and pious generosity?
I forbid you to behold me with thine eyes
Monstrous creature you, now begone!

A letter to my mother

Dear mom,
Remember when i was little
I told you i wanna be just like you
Daddy smiled at my words
And you enjoyed it too
I have grown up now mom
And I know I have let you down
Not once but a hundred times
But you never gave up on me
We had fights, i cried all night
I made you cry too, but you still fed me
Everytime you had faith in me
And everytime you encouraged me
All those times I missed your presence 
When I was about to perform on stage
I have realised how much you have done for me
I have realised how much you have given up for me
I have been mean, I have been heartless 
But you have always forgiven me
And all my mistakes
And all those nights when i cried in sickness
You stayed up and look after me
And all those days you were bedridden 
I made sure I took care of you
Just the way you did
I hope I am your reflection mom
I hope I am like you
Bless me, and love me
Just like you do
Forever, because I love you.

Castle On A Hill

I saw a magnificent castle on a hill
Its towers up high piercing the clouds 
Conical roofs with slight golden shimmer
Brilliantly covered with a sunny shroud

But the walls looked old and tarnished
And the big metal portcullis was rusted
The moat was definitely all dried up
And the ditch was grime-crusted 

I wonder if anyone lives up there
If there is a princess on one of the towers
I'd like to be her knight and rescue her
If only I could climb above that flimsy bower

But this castle looked way too old
And abandoned as it lost its glory
My fairytales had a different picture
They did not look this profane in the stories

Instead it looks like one of those castles
They show in horror movies and cartoons
With a thundery night, full moon and a wolf howling
Housing a big frightening buffoon

Yes, that must be it
Its nothing but a scary old mansion
I'm glad I didn't linger there long
So much for a monumental attraction. 












My virtue is my duty

With the morning begins my day
Different roles I'm ready to play
Again and again I am perturbed 
But nature and emotions are undisturbed
Silently, without a word, all needs I suffice
Day to night, unsaid unconditional sacrifice
What do I gain from all these duties?
Deteriorating my health and my fugacious beauty
Still, I don't pretend, I take my job seriously 
A homemaker and a mother, working audaciously 
If I don't follow my virtue as my duty
Who else do you think will prove their loyalty?

I bespeak to let me go

I bespeak to let me go
On my quest to find my destiny
Subsist my own enduring 
Where my true self wants to live

You and before you
Words were said and deeds were done
None to stop none to object
Why am I your guilty subject?

Your natural tendency
Is to devour my identity 
So fragile, so docile
You know I'll never speak

I'm looking out for the silver lining
I can see the stallion among the clouds
You just need to let me go while I'm still young
Trust me I can do it alone

Its now or never
The autumn has begun
Before the spring comes
I want to be home in all my flourish

I beg your fidelity 
Let me prove myself
Taint will not be your glory
I promise you father. 

I can't stop thinking about death

Pessimistic thoughts 
Wind me and unwind me
A way out of this abyss
Is all I seek

Calamity strikes me
Or monstrosity consumes me
I don't care what misery
I just want to stop breathing

Ropes lying around
Blades lost and found
All I see are means to end me
Nothing else makes sense now

I don't have the courage
But still all I want is this to end.

Ghost of the Past

A phantom chased me 
In the dark blue midnight;
My leg caught on the silk gown,
And I tumbled down the road. 
When the phantom got closer,
I could not see his face. 
Veiled in black he was;
But he called out my name
With such intensity,
That I knew at once, who 
The voice belonged to. 
I got back up and ran
Towards the mansion on the high hill;
The phantom stopped chasing me,
I thought I lost him.
I opened the cobwebbed doors;
They creaked and groaned in defiance. 
"Who's the intruder?"
Yelled someone from upstairs. 
"I'm lost and scared"
Replied I. 
There was nowhere to go,
So I spent the night on the floor;
I wasn't offered any food or drink,
Nor did I ever see the face of the owner. 
When the clock striked midnight,
I heard the doors groan again;
A single flame was approaching me,
I trembled and asked "Who is it?"
The face got closer to the flickering light
And there was my dead lover
"I've come to take you My Love";
Now the ghosts will be heard from the overhead mansion. 

When the time is right

When the time is right
I'll tell you all my secrets
You'll know who I really am
There will be no regrets

I'll tell you all my secrets
I'll tell you my history
There will be no regrets
I'll no longer be a mystery 

I'll tell you my history
And maybe a little biology  
I'll no longer be a mystery 
You'll understand my psychology 

And maybe, a little biology 
You'll know. Who I really am
You'll understand and my psychology 
When the time is right

Emotionless.

I'm not pretty. I need makeup to look good. 
I'm barely a good artist, seeing good artists makes me feel ashamed of myself. 
I'm insecure. I feel I'm good at nothing. 
I constantly fear failure and i do constantly meet failure. 


But I wasn't always like this. 
I was known for my confidence and versatility. I was inspiration to my juniors and me seniors were proud of me. 
I was a good leader, and a good disciple too. 

Now I'm just a waste of time and energy. I don't want to blame anyone for this. I've become someone i never wanted to and i am ashamed of myself but it's not anybody else's fault. I have done this to me. I'm always annoyed and irritated. I don't like people anymore and I don't feel like talking to anybody at all. I don't like my parents either. Even their voices and their existence annoys me. I do dream of my nephew some times but he just seems like a distant memory now. I don't talk to him when he comes on skype. The poor kid loves me, i can see it but I can't just give anything back. I do want to show emotions but they just don't come out. I have become almost emotionless.

Oh what have i done to me?

Splinters

Shards of hard words in my soul
Are piercing in me a big black hole
I'm bleeding out the chemicals

Digging deep through the ground
I've been trying too hard to make a mark
The shore was washed away again

I think I'm losing all my patience now
I've given all my best somehow
But I can't carry on now, Not anymore 

The epiphany has striked me
And the longanimity has departed me
I'm no longer a part of this conundrum

No wonder the placebo didn't work
I was aware I was being tricked
Jokes on you I'm done listening 

The splinter's hurting
And I'm running out of sanity
Let me rest now
