POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
SUGAR AND SPICE
What do you want from me,
All the lies,
Looks like time flies,
All of my pride,
Left when i cried,
I'm ill
But I still got the skill.
The skill,
To kill,
And devour your meal,
Last I checked you favourite was veal,
Or was it just a prank to hide what was real,
Real,
More like reveal,
It was always about your appeal,
Yet here I am standing still,
I've even tried to take a pill,
All I seem to want,
Is to tell you that I can't,
Keep living like this
I wanna make peace,
I want our...

King and Queen
Don't fall for me,
For their is none to catch you,
None to patch you,
Join the line,
Or pay the fine.
I need not to pay the fine
For your already mine,
So let the rest pay,
Numerous dimes
To atleast be participants,
And not Antecedents
On the line.
Commit a crime,
I need a dime,
A line so long,
And look they each have a prong,
It seems i will capture,
This structure.
Darling is that your dream,
All I hear is a scream,
Here is what I bring,
Please do...

Today
At times i think back,
I think of the way things should've gone,
The way things should've gone,
What i could've done,
What i should've done.
In the end all i had was today.
Then I realised,
All these episodes,
All these scenes,
It was a one hit wonder,
None would ever be aired,
I've been scared,
For it was a one time offer,
In the end all i had was today.
My head its raining thoughts,
Abit more than a brain storm,
it seems my eyes are the storm drain,

If only,

Master or Servant
Fire, Fire, Fire,
To destroy is up to you
To burn is up to you,
To teach is up to you,
To serve is up to you,
To cook is up to you,
To guide is up to you,
What will you choose?
Will you be the servant or the master?
Water, Water , Water
Beautiful you are,
Mysterious you are,
Dangerous you are,
full of death you are
Full of adventure you are,
Full of life you are,
Everywhere you are,
What will you choose?
Will you be the servant or the master?

One life many chances
A little rain,
A little shower,
Let's take shelter they said,
Now they say nothing,
For death has come upon them,
This might not sound as major,
For luck was not in their favour,
But it all depends on how you look at it,
Life so short.
It's funny how,
The successful wish for life to go on,
and the poor and the suffering wish for life to end,
Two sides of the same coin,
Two different points of view,
Life so short.
Sleep you'll do it tomorrow they said,
There's always tomorrow they said,
Do it later they said,...

I'm thankful for our little infinity
I'm sad it ended,
I'm glad it happened,
The latter seems better,
I remember everything,
All the memories we built,
All the adventures we went on,
Such a happy time ,
Our little infinity.
Now all is said and done,
One of us still hasn't let go,
One of us is still clinging ,
One of us is using the experience badly,
Darling when life gives you dirt grow some flowers,
Our little infinity.
I'm happy now,
I'm still smiling,
Despite all the hate and all the struggle,
I'm still happy,
I was happy with you,
Our...

What about me?
Journal after journal after journal,
one after another,
Each better than the last,
You make me look like a monster,
You tarnish my name,
And only a few select know,
You know what I did,
But you dont know why,
You dont know what Ive been going through,
You don't know my struggles,
Only yours seem to matter,
And only a few select know.
It's just about how you feel,
How you got hurt,
How i was worse than bullet holes,
And only a few select know
one after another,
Each better than the last,
You make me look like a monster,
You tarnish my name,
And only a few select know,
You know what I did,
But you dont know why,

FEELINGS I THOUGHT I NEVER HAD
A new publish,
A new tear,
Everytime I read,
I seem to bleed,
My eyes filled,
My 'humanity' comes back,
However I will not turn my back,
My word is my truth.
The emotions are a trigger,
I see something bigger,
Your words are like fuel,
They help me write,
But still burn my heart,
This is my plight,
My word is my truth.
At times I'm at my happiest,
I seem to have found love,
At times I'm filled with sadness,
I seem to have messed up,
At times I'm all alone,
I seem to be doing something wrong,
My word...

The sound I heard as the rain,
Came down,
It seemed to drown,
All the sound,
I wish for the day I will no longer be bound,
By certain agreements,
That don't seem to compliment,
Much has been done,
Most according to plan,
What if I ran,
All these burdens will be gone,
I can finally be in my zone.

A story so great ,
It's been subject to debate,
Here's what I learnt,
Listen or you'll get burnt,
There is no light without darkness,
No rich without the poor,
No good without bad,
No blessings without a curse.

In the end
Here I am wanting to make ammends,
Yet I still end up with dead ends,
Eyes filled with tears ,
Seems i have reached the frontier.
A glimmer of hope ,
To me is like dope,
Expensive ,
Yet intensive,
I sacrificed all for her ,
Now i have all but her.
They say experience is the best teacher,
Looks like now I need a preacher,
To guide me on my way so I may not stray,
I will seize to capture ,
No matter the fracture.
The world I will not blame ,
Though it cometh with shame,
I will take up responsibility,
Let's...

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH
I sat in the cold,
Feeling all but bold,
Then i came across a song,
Alas! It seems I was wrong ,
No pain no gain,
Occasionally abit of a strain.
When I left I had no fear nor regret,
For I had once made a bet,
I gave it everything,
At times I had nothing,
None to hold,
When it was cold.
