To the stars

What would the well staring at the sky, ask the stars? 


How does it feel to be set free?
To float amidst dark blue skies, heavenly?
To stare down from miles, into lives, lonely? 
To know every secret and yet let it be?

To fight to get closer to the moon, lovely! 
To disappear each morning to the sun, at hours, wee?
To brighten every night, by burning selflessly...
And end up being nothing - just forgotten debris?

Chasing Chaste

It's depressing how everything we quest
comes undone before ungodly lust
Some skin show, cleavage, some lips luscious - 
and we let go, and we forget the rest.

Promises over candle lights
Kisses under the starry nights
Debates on why one should choose
This love over other dreamy knights'.

A ravishing beauty, a scarlet blond
Sizzles in her ravishing form
The sight of a sculpted, heavenly Vernon
Ignites fantasies of never ending moans. 

Belittling though, that's all it takes - 
To disrupt, to displace, or to disengage 
Years of happiness, immeasurable faith
Turning heavenly bonds into bondage.

But why is it so volatile - 
this ever wavering human mind?
Which makes promises one cannot keep
To break and blame it, on ill times. 

Perhaps we, the treacherous mankind
Were always meant to stay unconfined.
Romance and love, otherwise dead -
Revives itself only on lying, raunchy beds.

She

She dropped a tear
For all the fear
Garnered in herself
Over many, many years.

They soon dwindled
And came running down
Like displaced streams
From mighty rain clouds.

Each touched upon a phase
Some, she'd skipped in haste
A few, in disgrace
Some, not so much in distaste.

Like the ocean 
Gathering storms
She festered wounds
Within her, beautifully deformed.  

It hurt her deeper now, 
Herself - broken and torn
Yet not wanting to mourn
Over another heart, once more ~

She faked her smile 
And mastered pretense 
She was dying within
But had to live, and fend. 

A vicious cycle
Of peace and pains
Heal and hurts
Love and hate

Turned her into a being 
She could no longer be in -
Either a fairy in disguise?
Or plain evil, filled with vice?

Let Her Be

Leave that child
Let her be
Don't taint her mind
Don't take her side.

Let her explore
Don't slam her doors
Now that she's here
Let her not know fear.

Let her keep her head high
Let her also swallow her pride
Let her bawl all alone
And stay up whole nights.

Don't slap her cheeks
And don't stand beside
She might get knocked down
Let her sulk, let her try.

The world is cruel
People are unkind
Don't keep her warm
And do her more harm.

Let her walk away
Let her bloody stray
Let her body fall
To vultures, to prey.

Let her leave.
For now, bereave.
She will learn
And she will return.

Overnight she'll turn
From a girl, to a queen
Embrace her then
But until then, let her be.

Conversations

'You are beautiful',
she said
'To know what
beauty beholds,
look at yourself
through my eyes!',
nibbling her ears,
he sheepishly replied.

'I love you! Do you love me?'
She asked again,
He'd lost count of
how many times.
'More than you'd ever know'
But he stayed silent this time
And pulled her back instead,
into his warm embrace.

'I'm fatter than yesterday
My eyes are puffy
My clothes don't fit!'
Assuring no girl
was prettier than her -
he wiped away her tear.
And at the party she turned
Cinderella over night!

'But why is she pinging you?'
'She's again liked your pic!'
'Oh! She's on your last dialed?'
'I'm going to kill that bitch!'
He sat through her tantrums
Avoiding getting hit
He'd knew she'd come around
And apologise in a bit.
