Succumb
Let your fire burn me ’til this longing is quenched,I’d be thrilled to submit to your passionate torment;Let your flame melt this frosty spell ’til I drip in elation,I’d be delighted to succumb to this ecstatic possession…

Abandoned
You grew weary But here I stay faithfullyWith my fatigued soul You wandered farI wait for your returnPerhaps you’ll never come back Our storms were giganticYou were lanky and weakThe vows I spoke made you sick You left, I stayedAnd your words torment me moreEven when you’re gone Why did you make oathsYou cannot keep?

Art of Deception
Hungry for power. Abuse. Fear. It’s dissipating like a virusPlaguing our chaste purposeThe more we try to curb the infectionThe more we are infectedStealth dispersion of infliction.We are downtroddenWe are doomedWe become victims. Abuse of power. Fear.They spread like wildfireAnd we are burningWhat’s the use of our struggle?Indeed, we are but lowly servantsBut do we all…

The Abyss
The curse hasn’t been brokenwhen you tried to liberate mefrom the vicious clutch of misery,the misery you inflicted on me.Your promises were sweet,your kisses were addictiveand your warm embracefulfilled my heart’s desire, yet everything was ephemeral And I didn’t find my wayto dance freely with your fire,and your warmth didn’t permeatethrough the freezing darknessinstead, I plummeted into…

Ghoul
Prophecy has it, you are no longer yourself.But, a hollow, an unnamed identityYou do exist but you do not live. As foretold, you are no longer complacent.Though you believe you are simply divergent,Everyone branded you the maleficent. You became the ghoul that extracts joyAnd resistance to ignominy you are not coy.You became the demented or…

Affliction
This afflictionIs perpetual torture.Cries clogged my throatStingingBloodshot eyes,Heart-wrenching reality,Repressed lamentsAnd muffled cries… As I crouched down on the cold floor,Hugging my trembling kneesI let my tears fallUnder the cold waterWishing all this burdenWould go down the drain.But it didn’t.It torments me more.I covered my mouthTo suppress a screamYet my heart agonizesSeverely.I felt its faint beatingAs…

Cursed
From a deep slumber, I rouseStartled and scared I scurried awayWanting to escape, to run far awayFrom the invisible monsters trying to vanquish me.With hurried footsteps, I left my roomUncaring if outside there was a storm.The need to get away heightened my spiritI must leave this cursed place at once.I run outside, it’s quite dark…

Pills
I took the blue pills and downed a coupleFor it says it will stop me from feeling blueBut I guess it was a hoax and I had no clueSo I question what is a fallacy? What is true?If I took the red ones would the pain goI need your smart opinion on what to doFor…

The beer got me good this time
Felt my head pounding with an excruciating sting.Wait, did I just hear someone whistling?Yet I saw visions reflected before meFlashing night lights, well, are they?Maybe I long to see a thousand visions of theeNot the dancing fireflies, not St. Elmo’s fire,But your fire that’ll consume the whole of me.Still, my head hurts like hell, such…

Web of Doubts
I found myself mourningFor a love that has never been,Shattered to bitsFlown with the windLike it was never meant,For I was never once and never will beThe rhythm and the rhymeTo complete a masterpiece,For I was never once and never will beA whisper from your lipsNor a cry from your want and your needs,For I…

The Gallows
Laid out all my cards like there was no tomorrowBut that bitter-sweet game only gave me sorrow.If I had stayed within the confines of my keepPerhaps I could still enjoy a peaceful sleep.But as selfish as you were, you wouldn’t let me beI took the fall, but my suffering, you wouldn’t seeWho should be blamed…

Change
Seasons change and life seems an endless journeyAnd though we sometimes wish otherwise,Life ceases but time ticks by unceasing.And oh, the rain pours down unexpectedlyWhen just a wink ago, the sun was blazing,And who knows what might happen nextWhen life is full of surprises in betwixt.We witness the dawn break into new hopesAnd watch the…

Ghosts
There’s something in the night that she fears.There’s something in its silence that torments her.There comes the rain, it terrifies her moreThe raindrops feel like needles pricking her torn heart.

Cursed Lover
If this curse can only be broken by a spellWhere I have to write tales of you,Should I refuse such a chanceIf it meant our eternal togetherness?If tomorrow is assured to be spent with youYet I have to scribble more love notes for you,Should I refuse such a sweet ordealWhen I find pleasure in writing…

In the arms of the shadows
(Will she ever find comfort out in the lightWhen she loved how warm it is to be in the dark?Will she ever feel safe out in the lightWhen she found compassion in the dark?)… The intoxicating chill nips at her soulThat slowly numbs her inner turmoilLethargic, she found a new obsessionSpellbound, she succumbed to addiction.For,…

Fragments of Yesterday
[Fragments of Yesterday It’s Sunday morn and the sun’s up and brightThe throbbing pain in my head doesn’t feel rightFlashing pictures in my memory now an agonyCold sweat, too dizzy to get up, I might throw up.I am alive. I pondered staring at the ceilingBut where am I? Clueless with this sickening feeling.My thoughts seem…
