“The Forbidden Fruit”
Word Apr 2018
With time, all wounds heal, and lesser the pain we feel
The bleeding heart stops, but not to beat, yet!
We live on;
and we live long after…
Some of us with only the scarred hearts reminding us of the past
Never to forget the memories of you, until the last breath
Only then,
when time is called and the rest of the body gets cold

Only then, may we forget

We were two innocent beautiful souls
Unknowingly destined to fall in love
Fate would not have it
An abomination,
Nature would not have us
Rejected were the wishes of our hearts
Prohibited were the passions within us,
Forbidden like the apple of Eden,
and Our sin denied us a moment in heaven
We are sown from the same fabric. You and i

Standing together arm in arm yet worlds apart

Our minds connected by invincible wire
You dream of I, and I of you
You are a beautiful sight I can never forget
I carry the memory of you on me like a tattoo of a taboo
Ashamed I cover my pride
Your image imprint inside my eyelids,

Yes I do, it’s hard to think
But I see you every time I blink

SOLACE
Word Mar 2018
I FEEL FOR YOU, MY DEAR ONE
YOUR INNOCENCE ROBBED, IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
YOU GROW WEARY FROM ALL OF THE ACHES OF THIS LIFE
YOU HAVE LONGED MANY DAYS FOR PEACE AND YET MANY NIGHTS FALL WITHOUT QUENCHING
ONLY VAMPIRES LIVE HERE,
THEY SMELL YOUR FEAR AND CRAVE YOUR BLOOD, THEN, THEY ALL TAKE BITS.

YOU HURT FROM ALL THE PAINS OF YESTERDAY, I KNOW
THE EYES SORE FROM THE CRYING OF THE NIGHT BEFORE
YOU BLEED STILL FROM THE CARNAGE OF THOSE YOU LOVED BEFORE
HEARTLESS THEY DUG INTO THE FLESH AND TORE THEIR WAY TO POOR YOU
AND WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, THEY CHOCKED THE LIFE FROM YOUR SOUL.

NO PLACE OF REFUGE AS LONG AS WE ARE ALIVE, YOU AND I
So IF IT PLEASE YOU, LET’S WALK TOGETHER TOWARDS THIS EDGE
RESOLVED TO TAKE THIS LEAP IN FAITH
I WONDER IF WE SHALL FIND PEACE WAITING IN THE AFTER LIFE
MAYBE THERE, LOVE ALSO AWAITS
OR IS IT JUST THE FURY OF THE GODS, AND THE SCOTCHING HEAT OF HELL.

ALAS, NO SOLACE FOR YOU MY BROKEN HEART

A Beautiful End
Word Jan 2018
Ripples journey for miles and miles on to the beach, to die
The trails and triumphs of their journey will never be told
It is finished, as soon as they land, so does their tale
A rare sighting for me, so exciting to be with, there at the end
You can hear the tired yet soothing sound as each one lands
Never to flow, or glide the sea again        

 

It disappears further into the clouds and more beyond the edge out of my sight
The sun sets, just as beautiful as its counterpart does
With it, goes hope of all that is good, as light it no longer illuminates
The darkness brings its demons, thank God for the stars that guide us
We remain resolute in faith waiting for another sunrise
A briefly stunt with two beautiful ends while it lasts
I wonder if it has, the same fight as the one tomorrow will see

 

The wind decides whether to be a breeze or a storm

The sun’s rise is gradual, yet the darkness falls fast

What is clear to sight reduces each minute

For the more I know, the lesser I understand

What I think I see, could be my memory telling me what was

Reality is relative

 

Such is our story if we lead an ordinary life
To have existed;
To have endured;
To have travelled;
But not to have excelled
Rushing towards our end wishing we dominated
For we could have been documented, maybe…

This Blessing Is a Curse
Word Jan 2018
The hole enlarges each time the heart breaks
So deepens the emptiness with it
Deserted lands dried with no form
It is as if the soul has long left
Seeking its rightful place in the afterlife
Searching for where to belong
Unlike my body which is already doomed from inception
No matter its journey, its path ends in distraction
Death will be the end
None can escape the ordained fate

I now question my knowledge
Because my heart longs for all that I know to be wrong
How can all this be sin when it feels so right?
My body craves the lustful passions of the mind
Yearning to take bite of that forbidden fruit
My hands stretching only towards that which is sinful
Thirsting for the evil wine
I wish to dine and feast on all this beauty in my sight
My eyes see only that which tempts
Every confession is the genesis to the next one
No sooner as I am whole, do I sin again


Often I ask why it is I feel at home in this folly world
This condemned place, home to righteous men.
Why is it that its strangeness excites me this way?
And its darkness attractive to me
In the depth of silence i hear her voice in the winds calling out to me
In the loudest of noises, I can hear her celebrating with me
And in the morning when I can see her beauty, I appreciate each day I wake to see it
Enchanting goddess of love, bound with this righteous of men?
Perfectly curved edge to edge, each curve more enticing, more arousing than the last
Ever teasing pleasures, she presents
Never allowing me a chance to get used to the warmth of her embrace
In that moment, all is good, the yin and the yang are all coloured white, all is right
In harmony we move back and forth in a circle
Moreover, I start forgetting the pain that this life come with
Surely, this love is a curse

Departing Hearts
Word Dec 2017
I reminiscence our starting out, like blossomed flowers on a spring morning,
We were young and youthful then; everything about us was exciting,
Loud and cheerful, bright and colourful, we were always smiling,
Confined and restricted, and soon we were not breathing;
The fire of love had quenched, the desire and lust was lost, and we both started dying;
It is like we are falling off a cliff, but steadily we are floating,
Defying the inevitable end each day, we keep on surviving,
The sadness slowly grows to hate, the seed we have been sowing.

We can feel it changing,
Instead, we remain resolute and say nothing;
Feelings of love and hate, we keep covering;
Distances form from the pains that we harbour, it will not be long before we start drifting,
Further apart with every unspoken word, as these unexpressed emotions keep on piling,
Deep down inside, we both are hurting,
Hearts torn into, and the sores do not stop bleeding,
All from the lies we tell each other, to keep our dream living.

Bound together in chains of our own past, we kept on moving,
Slaves to our desires, wanting to take and not bothered with giving,
Lustful in our ways, we keep on craving,
Selfish in our own light, we keep receiving and never saving;
We always want more, until the source starts dying,
Then we move on, not even a glance behind we spare, or a brief moment for grieving,
It is the vicious cycle of life, and we keep on killing;
Cold hearted, warm-blooded, the combination is chilling.

"Dish for two"
Word Dec 2017
Constantly fighting with my innerself, begging my mind to forget, this my heart is weak for what it yeans,  lord knows no good can come off this.

That swèet smell of you;
The aroma always daring me to get closer;
And you, such a devil you are, you deny me not.
A stare into your eyes urging me on, and you keep drawing closer to me, I feel your body heat entering inside of me. I feel you possessing me, it’s crazy I know…

That vanilla taste in you, memories reminding me to want to bit your lower lip, just to see your eyes bubble out in a fright of me, routine way i move my finger on your arm, magic trick, always seems to work.

You always saw my next move, it’s like you knew my every intention, and I recall your every reaction

It was all too easy, my heart paced as i made my move, but you, so calm and collected, expecting my every approach, meeting my kiss half way each time, so perfect we could rhyme.

I was thinking am playing, but maybe there, I was the one being played

So I just want to forget, but...

My face fails to ignore the bliss that your memory brings, I smile and it’s all because of you.
Frequent laughter most times in silence, from memories of then, now.

I cannot get used to this, a mad man in the eyes of many, I am definitely insane, but how?

I won’t lie, I never saw this…never even hoped for it, my wishes never got this far
And I could never have a dream this wild, not in any day dream or romantic thought in all those lonely nights, all loving with no fights?

We walk too close to the edge you and me, I love the fear of falling, it’s so arousing
Maybe the only time I feel alive, being alive is excruciating, but for sanity I will walk away
I go for only a short while, you know very well that I am addicted, and i will be coming back for more

Moving towards an end is so stimulating, it’s like walking to your death, seeing your body transforming into a godly being, all in your conscious, priceless!
What most fear we embrace,
What most hear from whispers as taboo on dark corners, we enjoy in our lustful ways

This cannot be love, it’s too real that it is surreal.
I am now suffering from these pleasures that you bestow on yours truly,
Man was never made to love this strong,
I tremble from the touch of your finger,
I reach out to your departing shadow, I can feel the warmth of your perk in my memory, and i hear your voice wake me from my dreams.

Impossible but true, we have been served a dish for two…

— The End —
