Scars embellish every inch of me.
Ornamenting each memory
                              Vexing with anguish,
                               I shrink from them and flee
                                                                         Wishing myself godspeed--
                                                                          My legs carry me
                                                                             To the farthest lee.

                                  (Of unfamiliar lands)

I am a proud rose
I adore my lovely thorns.
I have an ethereal halo,
With two little horns.
Therefore, I warn you Mortal
Do not make me cross.

Must you cut off my thorns?
Must you make me harmless?
Like a newborn.

I curse thee!
To bleed, forever and ever
Whence thou touch my thorns,
My Crown of Thorns.

Your cold body drifts away
      Far from the hapless shore
              Far from my wretched hope
I once held so close

Your blood still stained my hand
No matter, how fast I ran--
Your ghost haunted my dreams, my reality
And warped it into a spectral entity.

Ought I not to,
Lose myself in a maze
And, become half-crazed
In the solid mist of haze
Of illusion and madness.

Jaws of angst graze my neck
With a blessing of deep regret.

In a world where,
Only dust is left--
I breakdown in a heap of envy
As I continue to,
Lose my mind in a frenzy

We played a game,
Where neither of us--tell a name
And yet, submerge in a ravine of shame.

We agreed to this perilous gamble
In a morbid hope of a beast to tame;

Which crawls beneath my skin
Set to devour everything akin--
       To happiness and love,
That was stowed away hidden
      In a secret trove.

I was in a trance of oblivion
To think that Sol's blessing
Was a bane and woe,
And Night was a granted gift
Bestowed upon my very soul

Enlightenment reached out to me,
Banishing the darkness
Where I drowned in ignorance--
I ought not to surmise
Virtuous or Nefarious
