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?

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…

Tirades of a troubled soul
Tonight I lie down quietlyIn this cold hard bedWith this still nightAnd deafening silence.Yet my mind’s noisyToo loud that I can hearMy thoughts, my rants.Agonies from reminiscences,Tirades of a troubled soul.They’re screamingIn my headRestless, boisterous.I covered my earsWith my trembling hands,But I can still hear themGrating, gnashingExcruciating.I shut my eyes tight,But I can see themClear…

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…

Rant
-Now what? Starting again is not easy. But letting go is liberating. Walking away is not cowardice if you walk away from those that destroy your confidence and self-worth, from those that kill your peace and happiness. It’s not easy to purge something that has been in your system for so long. It’s some sort…

Train Tracks
In those bewitching moments, I admitMy will was seduced, I lost track of time.But what can I do when it’s too late to whine?That wasted luck, from my fingers, they slipped.In this wicked world, the weakest do not surviveDreams went awry, chances I cannot revive.Love drifted off, but this broken heart stayed;Yet hopes faltered, courage…

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…

Your Nightmare
I noticed how your face twisted with disgustWhen you saw me enter the room though with careful steps.Your lips curled up in irony, it made me wonderDoes my presence make you unwell?I tried to draw my face with a friendly smileBut you turned your head as if you loathe my existence.I tried to greet you…

Tell me why must I slacken
Tell me why must I slacken, why must I stopAnd I’ll tell you I got no hold of my forbearance.Forgive me if you are fed up with my slopBut this wont cannot be held in abeyance. At times, I may be rebellious but with a heartConquerors I face to portray defianceA sworn duty I mustered…

Doomed Fate
Yet the glimmering lights fade into the nightShe vanishes into thin air, taken by the dark knight.As it was written in the stars, her breath expires tonightA fate she cannot rewrite, a doom she cannot fight.

Thank you
There’s a lot to be thankful for… Though every day is a challenge and every step we make is a test of how far we can go, where will I be tomorrow is yet to be determined based on my journey today. I may halt at certain moments, and take a break but the most…

Memory Lane
I lost count of how many times I missed a step and fell scraping my knee.I wasn’t stunned at all about how much it pained me.But I found the peace I have been waiting for,My everlasting desire has finally come to me.For quite some time I kept on traipsing down memory lane;The battles I fought,…

That Thursday Afternoon
Thursday afternoon I went on a trip with my friends. I was hesitant to go because I was sick but I went anyway, lol. It was all set so I didn’t want to miss it. But while we were driving along that long bridge, an accident happened. I think everyone was screaming and panicking. Thank…

Ramblings of a sick heart
I didn’t ask you to carry me on this journey, all I wanted is for you to be my guide.You knew from my past journeys, I got lost along the way trying to find the right direction.And when you found me you said you would lead the way.I didn’t tell you to smooth out my…

Starting to befriend the devil
Had packed some stuff and put my sneakers onAll set and ready, gotta hit the road one more time.Headphones on turned the volume upReady to course through the effing odds.I stepped outside, greeted by the glaring sunForced out a smile, crossed my fingers tooAnd with a hopeful spirit, I heaved a sighWishing this day won’t…

How are you?
“Are you okay?” They asked.“No. I am dying inside and you don’t know. I am not okay in every sense of it but when was the last time you truly cared though you’ve been asking me how I was? When was the last time you listened when I needed someone to vent my grief? When…

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…

Dope
Poured wine down my throatTo drown my wicked thoughts but,My heart cried instead. Tried to sober up I was already drowningIn pain and tears, tragedy. Nightmare tasted sweetFine poison aged like wineBut I puked it out… ‘Cause I will sufferFated to agonize moreTorture, sweet torture. The pain and pleasureOh, started loving itPain and pleasure more If…

When he held me captive in the dark
I didn’t hold back the tears threatening to flowWhen the sunset did glimmer its final glow,I watched as the dim curtain drew inAnd felt its strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle off his steel hold,Tenacious was he, so I’ve been told.Oh, I recall a few wanted to put out my fire,Too obsessed to…

Dark Phase
The day it started… A while ago I experienced that feeling I never wanted to feel again. I wasn’tcold but I was trembling. I didn’t know what triggered it, but it scares me. I crouched down, curled up like a ball in my bed, puff some air a few times to slow down my breathing.…

Fading to black
Her mournful sobs doth echo in the night,While the crickets sing hymns of travesty;Her heartbeat faltering like the fading lightFor your affection, her soul’s thirsty.Then the church bell starts tolling death.Alone in the dark, she was shivering.Cursed she was, her illness was not a myth.Doom her life met, she was withering.

Smudges
I wish I could paint my skin with sunset huesSo I could look bewitching even in this darkness,But these monstrous scrapes and scars, and lesions,Embellish my sky.Some tried to cover it up with lies and left even without a goodbye,And in the canvas remains the smudges of thoseWho tried to repaint it but fled with…

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…

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.

Final Destination
I thought you were just a figment of my imagination,Fantasy in a dream-like world but you became a reality, my reality. I thought you were merely a fixationThat got me hooked up abruptly. But you become my salvation, my savior. I thought you were merely a passing obsession,That gives me goosebumps and butterflies. But you…

Memory Lane
In this nameless street where sorrow and joy meetWith a tempestuous mind and unsteady heartbeat Quite dull and feeble, battered with exhaustionI walk still very unable to contain my emotion. Traipsing down on memory lane perhaps,Recollection of the gleeful past perhaps,Though wearisome as it may seem, I mustWalk along, rest if need be, but I mustn’t stop.But,…

The Road To The West
I’m in the middle of the roadThat to the East, there, to the WestWhich road must I chooseWhen I often think I am lost?Must I take the road to the westMaybe I’ll find peace and solace,There in the land of the dead,There in that forgotten land,Maybe I could rest.This exhaustion is gnawing at mePerhaps it’s…

Shall You Find Me Not At The Necropolis
Shall you find me not at the NecropolisSearch for me, maybe, on the shoreFor I may be sitting on the dockI’ll be waiting to be found by thee. But if you let me a-wander after thisKnow that I will still understand you moreI’d tarry till night-time to try my luckI’d be waiting still until you…

Quarter to Six
I got off the bus for luck wasn’t on my sideCould it be that the premonition was a lie?With these weary legs idly I stepped asideSat on the wooden bench, just knapsack and I.The sun was shining lazily the whole day,Though with a heavy heart I smiled thankfully. Maybe I must continue this journey laterOr tomorrow…

Meet me at the Necropolis
When the final breath escape from my parched lipsAnd this frail, cold and lifeless body demiseWill you weep and cry a river upon this lossOr will you rejoice and be gratefully joyous? When my body finally meet its resting placeFreed from the torture of horrible monsters,Will I then obtain my dearly desired peaceOr still, be…

Nameless Street
Took the ride off to the countrysideEven without you by my sideStill hoping you’d meet me somewhereBut you were never there.Sadly, I couldn’t see you aroundYou were nowhere to be found.I was alone, lost and torn andTears cascaded like waterfalls.My knees gave up, down I knelt.Hopes flew, courage did melt.Might better be numb, thought I.Might…

Bullying: a reality, not poetry
At daytime, it hunts me like a stalker.At night, it haunts me like a nightmare.It cuts deep through my soulThat leaves scars, an everlasting tattoo. It preys on my confidenceAnd binds me in decadence.Have I been told to clapback?I was. For I, too, wished to bounce back. But as frail as I was, I crumbled.My…

Her Final Wish
“If I were to vanish from the face of the earth,I wish to convey my message to the people I cherish.And I shall commence it on this note;Do not shed a tear for my passing,’’ “And if I shall be granted with my request,On top of the mound, do not plant red rosesFor I prefer…

The Heart That Once Loved True Lies Here
You proclaimed your intent too sweet for her liking,Perhaps it was one of those scripted litanies.Her naïve heart swooned over your tender words,Unaware her peaceful world would crumble. For quite a while she danced gayly,Oblivious to the looming malady.She sang melodies, laughed her heart outLiving in fantasy, without a hint of doubt. But one day,…

A Million Reasons
This heart knew pain, had suffered worseAt times it shows no mercy, just remorse.But what’s mightier than love itselfWhen it came knocking at my doorstep,And without me knowing I befell in a trance.Your potion worked on me, you had me under a spell.I couldn’t resist, I couldn’t get awayAnd I found myself bewitched by you…

Last Sunset
I blinked away the tears threatening to flowWhen the last sunset faded its glow,I watched as the curtains of grim clouds drew in,Felt your strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle-off from your steel hold,Could do nothing but to let the story unfold.You stoked the fire, lit me up with a single sparkWhen you…

Remember Me
Remember me…Through the breeze on a cold morning,Through the crisp wind on a warm evening,Through the pale glow from the moonlight,Or the flickering neon lights on a lazy night.Search me through the crowd in the bustling streets,On the crossroads or passers-by in front of your car, When the red light is on while you’re behind…

Journey
And if by chance, I’d meet you down the road,I pray you’d help me with this burdensome loadFor, my feet are weary, this journey is scaryThe road is long, exhausting, and tricky.But I’m ready to face the consequences, I must say,Aye! This quest shall go on, come what may.

Escape
If I could escape from my demons by being with you,And if having you could make me forget the torment,And if this borrowed moment would be perpetual,I’ll have you near me often or be wherever you are,And If this fleeting time with you would mean forever,I’d choose to bask in this glory ’til it obliterates…

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…

What am I?

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,…
