Millions of years of existence
Earth carries layers of history
Abundant and bountiful
They thrived during their peak
Happiness and coexistence
Turned to rambunctious ambitions
Valiant hearts turned violent
Severing the ties of humanity
Colored the layers of history in red
Tyrants and traitors marred the existence
Of the beautiful fabric of mankind
Stained fate, never to recover
Sometimes nature turned foe
Obliterating life from this Earth
History is the silent custodian
Testimony to the many facets of humanity
We bring our downfall
Mired in controversies and revenge
Saga of shameful acts and own dereliction
Sifting through the layers of history
It’s not for the faint-hearted to endure
The rough tales of disasters and annihilation
Millions of years and many more thereafter
At the crossroads of humanity
History is waiting to add many more layers
To the annals of its testimony

When we met
You were yet
A Princess.
Snow melted
On your younge tongue.
Winter seasons
Kept the secrets
Of your cold cacoon.
When you emerged
It was obscene,
You morphed into
The Ice Queen.

The white expanse
Of glacial thighs
Led to an ice-cave.
******* that once
Snared and trapped,
Have melted like
Polar ice-caps.

Your icicle eys
Stay frozen
In summer sun.
And all about
Your condition
Smells stale as
Franklin's Expedition.
Like Midas,
Minus the gold,
All you touch
Turns cold.

I'm not here
To lampoon
How winter's blubber
Made you baloon;
But on a walk
In Arctic noon,
Wear whale grey
And get harpooned.

Poetic T
It wasn't what was expected, never was
It meant to be as was seen,
"Where would you hide darkness"
"Where would it be unseen"
In the sight of all
In the sight of the seen,
For the best kept secret
Is that we are but husks
For the darkness lives in-between.

We were always afraid,
We had a phobia of the suffocating
Essence of darkness of all unseen.
But it looked through the cracks
Like a window we were showing
It things other wise never seen,
It feeds in here, in those it tainted.

Pride
Envy
Gluttony
Lust
Anger
Greed
Sloth

Each twisted into their purposed need,
We all had a bit of one a little of the other,
Its us, with out these who would we be,
But feed they did, for its own prize,
For we thought it was within the dark places
When it was already here.

The pupil expands like ecstasy, where
Purity was, only darkness sees. it gestures
Our thoughts hiding within, Free thought
You think but the whispers not heard
From deep within.

They will never be in darkness, where we
Think they live, for there greatest trick is
That we are their doors, opening and closing
A protective skin. They are of twilight of
Those voices that made us do it, no insane
Moment, uncontrollably driven, where does
It hide, through the crack let in, the darkness
Is in the light, beware of what is really seen.

Secretly we touch
Such ache and sorrow waiting
Eyes under lashes

lekhram meena
And here I’m, lost
Wondering
With each ticking of clock
Pondering

Searching for the reasons
That I already know
Walking on same path, boring
Still I will go

Full of contempt
Discouraged
Even the reflections
Confused and Razed

beliefs seems lies
and trust is ruined
eyes full of dried tears
heart like freshly wound

death is ultimate
silence and satisfaction
with no more thoughts
& no more rejection

I spent my life
trying to please my family

It didn't work

I spent my life trying to
Please others


I spent my life......
Be yourself
