dark tranquility
In the silence..
As the crimson sun rose
She sat,gazing out of her window
She had an imperious desire for solitude
Invoking the dark clouds to explode
But the Gods had no mercy on her
as they sadistically watched her fall apart
They judged her,mocked her,shattering her will power..
While she strived to find the pieces and put them together
You could see her struggle as she fought the melancholy in her eyes.
She immersed herself in a sea of desolation
Only to find a murk
A murk so deep and infinite
That the vastness consumed her...

The Darkest Moon
Today didn't seem like the other days.Today was cold,dark yet hopeful.It wasn't like I walked for a thousand miles but i was breathing which gave me a little hope.Even in the darkness,i felt so bare.The darkness hid nothing,nothing at all.'I 'couldn't be kept a secret anymore."So,we meet again"she said.She was too sure of herself.This time she wasn't going to keep mum.To her I was nothing but a dead weakling.She failed to see what made me this way.I was compelled,but a part of me needed her,I' was nothing,absolutely nothing without her....Or so I thought."Why are you here?,I...

For the love of books
On the shelves,over the tables
wide open,face down.
From a series of World books to the perpetual collection of Classics
Walls after walls,the varied colours and proportion of books form a mural
Each book with it's own personality,
Each one having a different story to tell,
Each one taking you to different places with different faces.
Each author having his innermost thoughts to share.
The hardbound cover reveals nothing about the essence of the book,
until you turn the pages over,the fragrance determining the meticulousness with which the...

An Ode to thee,megalomaniac.
Oh,how high you soar!
So full of might!
While men of your kind despise you
Your flatterers ready to kiss thy feet!
inflated with your own little pride
Such unfathomable narcissism.
bravo!to your fine disguise.
what if I cut offboth of those wings
Would your feet ever reach the ground?
Could you ever be human?
Would you ever care to step down....

consciousness of thought
Benumbed i am
in this world of hate
i have no place,i am nothing.
But a shadow which disappears in light.
what lay betwixt you and me has faded out..
Maybe I was disillusioned
Maybe you’re just a ghost
a phantom.
so spare me this pain you burden me with
enough with this labyrinthine
let me be
set me free.

untitled!
She waits silently,she prays
She prays for all her pains to go away..
Her thoughts encroach upon her
Her mind entrapped with boundless fears..
She shuts her eyes,she looks for clear skies
But is blinded by the fog that overshadows the light
She gets lost in the ashes of time
The good and the bad memories flash across her mind..
In pursuit of captivating the good ones...she makes an attempt to escape from the others...
She strives to cry out loudly,for agonising memories have been stalking her for a while
She could evade the situation but that would...

The Looking-glass
I see you
You.
freak of nature
shards of glass
introverted.Cold
silent.
Delusional.
Judgemental,You are.
Awake.Not quite.
Oblivious
Dreaming away.
Ego,You are full of.
Envy engulfs you.
You superficial being.
vindictive.
caught up in this vicious circle
Distorted.Ugly aren't you.
Shocked.what do i see?
a reflection of me.
ME.
You.
