Woman in Green

Day’s end, as I retire to my room,

I am struck by her herbal perfume,

Woman in green waits for me,

Burning desire to burn for me,

I am struck by her selfless love,

I caress her like a dove,

She crumbles in my embrace,

In her fragrance I revel,

Rolling up in a sheet of paper,

She smoulders to the next level,

Her kiss made me lose all sense,

Burnt in bliss, the past, future and present,

Her warmth is a new hope,

Our love aflame,

Her embrace is like smoke,

While she draws in my pain,

I drift to a different world,

I am awake as I sleep,

Holding on to my girl,

Indefinite time passes,

No better lover,

Woman in green,

She won’t stay forever,

I take care of ashen reality,

She leaves with a promise however,

Every night, she will wait for me.

EVOL

I am sick of hiding,

Often I cry inside,

I've given up the fight,

Some of me have already died,

I wonder about my purpose,

Thought of future brings dread,

What have I become?

After all this time,

Is survival my only feat?

I can’t take the way out,

Too proud to admit defeat,

I dreamt of love,

Dreams are the enemy,

I am scared to sleep.

Under the pretence of honesty,

All the lies weep,

Person in the mirror laughs at me,

What kind of existence is this?

Each one of you will love me,

But I've to let go of being myself?

For love I concede... I lie, I hide,

Some of me have already died.

Hate Speech

I've been drinking,

Getting this feeling,

Only emotion that’s left,

Is anger and hate,

And I lie to myself,

Know it fair well,

I pretend I still love you,

When I really want to kill you,

And kill all that you represent,

I am filled with resentment,

For being a weakling,

For always pretending,

That I thrive on love and faith,

When I am only filled with infinite hate.

They all went away

In the end, they all went away.

One wanted the world,

Felt she settled for less,

All of him too was never enough,

Both lived with regret.

In the end, they all went away.

One wanted the playmate,

She lived for the day,

His emotions seemed unseemly,

Mistaking love for play,

In the end, they all went away.

One wanted that who cares,

She was broken inside,

Mending his own heart,

He couldn't fill the divide,

In the end, they all went away.

One wanted reassurance,

She was the true friend,

Expectations plague this bond,

She was never convinced,

In the end, they all went away.

One wanted to look beautiful,

Truth is beauty,

Her truth was never his,

So he failed to see,

In the end, they all went away.

He was wanted in parts,

His person was never wanted,

Lost himself part by part,

None left when she departed,

In the end, they all went away.

Dementia

Why don’t you let go?

Do I really need too?

Are you in love?

Not with you!

Then why do I have to stay?

You want to go away?

Surely this is what I need,

I will agree indeed!

So you do care?

It is only fair,

Spare a straight answer?

Answers won’t matter,

You keep me intrigued,

You choose to stay belied,

Care enough to disillusion me?

I was never in love with you, never will be,

I don't like this conversation,

Suggest an appropriate deviation,

Do you wish to answer a question?

I am in tow,

Why don’t you let go?

Lunch Break

A man sitting at roadside eatery,

Sad or tired I can’t say clearly,

An indifferent weather-beaten face,

Feeding out of a thin paper plate,

Its content apparently irrelevant,

Random thoughts crossed my mind,

I don’t know anything of his battles,

For each there are different shackles,

Is he living a life of hardships?

Will mine be a luxury compared to his?

A few minutes passed over pondering,

My lunch break I was squandering,

So I decided to assuage my appetite,

Joining this man at shady joint,

But much time was spent and duty called,

I had to leave without any meal at all.

Twin Flame

It is a story of old,

Of twin flame it was told,

One soul created to perfection,

Destined to wander in separation,

As twin flame in this material world,

To meet and part in cycle of birth,

In multiple planes across time,

To seek the union of emancipation,

Hence I counted my days,

Hoping no desires left to sate,

Sure, there will be no closure,

A void that stays put forever,

Never knew you will come again,

Albeit another face and name,

Here again I am in love with you,

Yet again I am left alone too,

Wasn't this the curse of next life?

To what do I owe the relapse grief?

This anomaly brings me mighty pain,

Weren't we the ‘twin flame’?
