POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The world of poetry is perhaps the only place where I can truly express myself and be in touch with this chaotic universe inside that few around me know the existence of.
Endless Wait
Deny me your love?
Oh, spare me your hate
For did you not see Crimson
In the wake of my rage?
Or the black hands of evil?
Both death and decay,
The ever present aide
residing in the shadows of my face.
My first breath alone,
and last shall be the same.
The sliver of passion,
Oh, ungodly love did see your grace
And turned to ashes my flickering flame.
As the hour of life passed
and gone were the days.
Nothing left to give,
Nothing left to gain.
Silence through the murk,
It is an endless wait.
Oh, spare me your hate
For did you not see Crimson
In the wake of my rage?
Or the black hands of evil?
Both death and decay,
The ever present aide
residing in the shadows of my face.
My first breath alone,
and last shall be the same.
The sliver of passion,
Oh, ungodly love did see your grace
And turned to ashes my flickering flame.
As the hour of life passed
and gone were the days.
Nothing left to give,
Nothing left to gain.
Silence through the murk,
It is an endless wait.

No friends
There are no friends
Just illusions that betray.
Another drop in the ocean,
Another morn, another day.
Tired of your fables and your lies,
Your eyes on me stay
as you sharpen your blade
and shoot daggers through your gaze.
I remember still the pain,
The bruises, the scarlet stains
Now scars just remain
As a reminder of my shame.
Once I too was full of light,
Full of grace.
As I fought against your demons,
And drove away your bane.
Mercy, my weakness
I was the last one to stay,
And so I learned the hard way ...
Just illusions that betray.
Another drop in the ocean,
Another morn, another day.
Tired of your fables and your lies,
Your eyes on me stay
as you sharpen your blade
and shoot daggers through your gaze.

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you
at the threshold, as Angels flute
On the bridge, whispering, "soon"
And I'll sing along, keep up the ruse.
I'm a broken shard, love bleeds on me,
I cry every night because it's true,
I have fused to you, but you already knew
That my heart is brittle and icy blue
Even as my skin melts away in scorching fumes,
But your face is alight, you softly croon.
Your smiling eyes, stars,
your laugh, bright as the moon.
The centre of my world is where you grew,
And in the soft silence, I understood.
I'm a bad...

my Guardian
For you are my relic and my shrine
my garden of bliss;
My vision when I'm blind.
Like a celestial kiss,
Make me soar higher than the skies
Hold me through the thick and thin,
Bare me to your holy and divine
Don't let me fall in the abyss,
The endless dark of my mind
For the snakes beneath hiss
They nag and they whine
to release them from my lips
As the Devil is confined
And my will to him submits,
Where, then, will you run and hide?
When the world around you dims,
Will you help me see the light?
Or will...
my garden of bliss;
My vision when I'm blind.
Like a celestial kiss,
Make me soar higher than the skies
Hold me through the thick and thin,
Bare me to your holy and divine
Don't let me fall in the abyss,

to release them from my lips

Bête Noire
There's an anger in my heart,
Thick sludge in my veins,
There's blood in my scars,
My soul bound in chains.
As the urge to rip you apart
Swells and I let go of the reins.
My wrath will leave its mark,
Your Will brutally slain.
Follow me into the dark.
For now your mind is my domain.
Think, and think fast
Before your thoughts have all been drained.
And you slip into an eternal coma;
your doom foreordained.
Helpless, just with your charms,
I crushed them with my gaze.
Now you're mine to harm,
As I please, I'll bind your...

Fe Fy Fo Fum
Fe Fy Fo Fum
I hear you tried to run.
It's so cold and so dark
Didn't think you would get far.
Slowly carve you with my knife
First your ears then your eyes,
Then I'll kiss away your pain
And start all over again.
Baby, when will you learn,
That each time I will return.
As rubies adorn my fingers
Red, quaint as my touch lingers.
You're begging me to release you,
How can I when I need you!?
Don't recoil from me!
I love you! Do you not see!?
Monsters prowl outside the door,
You're safe here you should know.

Don't want to be
Know not me,
But what I leave.
Moment by moment
I fall deeper in grief.
I am not caged, nor am I free
For if my soul I could see,
I'd destroy it until it seizes to be.
I stand tall yet am weak,
I have it all yet can't breathe.
Demons torment you,
but only in the eve.
Mine dwell in me,
They fight and scream
and whisper sweet.
As they lay me to sleep,
My nightmares their dream.
They prick my eyes,
until tears fall free.
It's true I am caged,
I don't want to be.
But what I leave.

A Creation
Safe and smiling
At a distance, yes
you're safe, admiring
my work of art, yes
The fresh Crimson drying
At a glance, shades of a mess
It's easier when you're dying
Under my gaze, undress.
Eloquent quite, darkness underlying,
Your state picturesque.
The reds intensifying
Can't even guess,
Where your fate is binding.
With skill and finesse,
The bleak lines testifying
To an inner torment repressed.
As you stand safe and smiling,
The world will witness
your screams terrifying,
The night, my work at an end.

Masks and Shades
Behind all your masks and shades
Of cruelty and hate
Is a child, unloved, afraid
A lover burnt, betrayed
A soul that shivers and aches
I see the cracks in your gait
Push away love as you deteriorate
The monster who scared them away
But through your icy Blades
That destroy anything in their way
I see a heart slowly break
Its a child crying, alone and afraid
Behind all your masks and shades
Of cruelty and hate
Is a child, unloved, afraid
A lover burnt, betrayed
A soul that shivers and aches
I see the cracks in your gait
Push away love as you deteriorate
The monster who scared them away
But through your icy Blades
That destroy anything in their way
I see a heart slowly break
Its a child crying, alone and afraid
Behind all your masks and shades

Cold Blue Sky
The fledgling has learnt to fly
Watch how it dives
Head first into the winds of life
The clouds will be my bed
As I watch you soar far and high
Yesterday, you were in my nest
Do you remember the lullaby?
In my arms as you slept...
Nothing to you I could deny.
But I remember, clearly, when you wept
Unbidden, tears ran down your face
And I just stood by,
Crystal clear this memory in my heart I have kept
Like a scar I cannot hide
As I dance to the songs of my regrets ...

Freedom
Oh, Freedom
What a rush of life
The thought itself a nectarous plum
Like sickly sweet honey,
fresh from the beehive
And yet her brows are glum
A sister, a mother, a daughter, a wife
Down her wistful eyes turn
Averted, her gaze falls to the side
She swallows, tempted. How could she succumb?
Oh, Freedom. Yes it is...
The taste of new breath, so divine
A sinful drop on her tongue
It is a battle of wrong and right
But what is wrong and what is right?
When naked under the moonlight,
she twists and writhes and yearns
Yet, when...
What a rush of life
The thought itself a nectarous plum
Like sickly sweet honey,
fresh from the beehive
And yet her brows are glum
A sister, a mother, a daughter, a wife
Down her wistful eyes turn
Averted, her gaze falls to the side
She swallows, tempted. How could she succumb?
Oh, Freedom. Yes it is...

Deadly and Sublime
Pretending to live,
Dead inside
What must I give,
To feel alive
I've sealed my lips,
In silence I'll die
With a burning kiss,
Bring me back to life
As further and further you drift,
How once you were mine
A warm, loving bliss,
Bodies and souls entwined
Now my soul is stiff,
A heart still pines
Something is amiss,
A deep ache reminds
My love you forbid,
While yours is enshrined
From afar, like a sin,
Your touches at night
I dream of your skin,
A...
