Don't Cry
Seema Jan 2018
Don't cry
      If I die
Don't laugh
      When I cry
Don't stab
      When I talk
Don't love
      When I've seen
Don't pretend
      When I ask
Don't lie
      When I caught
Don't judge
      When I go
Don't act
      When you've lost
Don't beg
      When it's over
Don't mend
      When I'm torn
Don't cry
      When I'm gone...

Pitch Dark
Seema Dec 2017
It's pitch dark outside
Like how my soul is from inside
Day brings in the light rays
While my spirit has its own ways
Known I am for my force
Some have lost others at worse
Sinking in this darkness of night
Till we see each other soon at light...

Sneak Peek Of Hell
Seema Jan 2018
I hear the ringing bells
My eyes close tight
To avoid seeing the rising hells
This darkness, I try to fight

The beating drums in my ears
My heart throbbing fast
Am melting within my fears
This breath seems my last

The awful smell of hell
Now I open my eyes to view
Anyone could tell
That most of us are in the queue

The ugly faces staring still
Standing behind each
The conscious mind notices ****
Ocean of red, bony beach

Hands and legs in chains
No mercy shown
Only verge of pains
One by one the heads blown

A sneak peek of hell I saw
With many that I know
Under the blades we bow
That was enough for now

I still remember this visit
Everyday roams in mind
Something I can't resist
Something that lures this find

Words To Please
Seema Aug 2017
A word, written to please
With a black charcoal ink
Scribbles on paper, erase
Drops of tears sink in

With a black charcoal ink
Sketches of your beautiful mind
Drops of tears sink in
As your shadow lingers from behind

Sketches of your beautiful mind
Scribbles on paper, erase
As your shadow lingers from behind
A word, written to please...

Hope you see the repetitive flow.

Some Wine...
Seema Oct 2017
Pour me some wine
As I'm not feeling fine
Just coz of that swine
Who's no longer mine

My eyes are not numb
As I am not crying
I just feel so dumb
Forgiving and trying

Lessons learnt quite well
As this wine sooths the pain
My feelings, I will not tell
Coz I can't bare the hurt again...

Pricky Dream
Seema Aug 2017
Dreaming a dream within my dream
Riding a crane with a handful of grain
Wearing a husky helmet to cover my fragile brain
From the storm bringing in crazy rain
Diving down towards the meadows and plains
Calling out my own name, again and again
Unable to hear myself, I call out again
This time I wanted to prove, I am not insane
Surprisingly, I somehow fell from the main
Landing on a thorn patch with aches and pain...
Towards midnight, my eyes opens wide
Finding no thorn patch as only my pillows beside
O' what a dream of falling from great heights
I am thankful as it was just a dream, alright!!

Life

In ashes was I and then referred as "it" again

Stained Pages
Seema Sep 2017
The room was empty
Apart from scattered pages
In a distance, a pantry
Deserted for ages

A country area, a promised place
I know he'll come
We are not parting a race
Or acting like a dumb

Picking up the stained pages
Written in ink his heart's cry
Captivating the words in cages
Some stains yet to dry

Reading each page with tears
As he was battling his aches
For the past so many years
Keeping alive for my sake

Memories of younger days
Flashed through my mind
We went our own ways
Yet my heart longed to find

The paintings on the wall
The stained pages speak
My knees weaken, I began to fall
My emotions started to leak

As my eyes searched for him
The wait is like a thousand years
The day has gone dim
Now grips on my lousy fears

Love poured in flavoured inks
His staring at me without a blink
My heart swells and sinks
I am blushing going all pink

No words to say, just tears of joy
The flame of love engulfing us as prey
His my man, his my lover boy
Our days and years blossomed from gray...

Taken For Granted
Seema Oct 2017
I'm waiting to see, at my front door
As you want to set things right
But this rain of tears seem to pour
Cause you shut me off last night

Slammed the phone, cancelled the call
You broke my heart all over again
Unconsciously, I began to fall
You never realized my shattering pain

Days have gone, as months pass by
Something is killing me from inside
You took me for granted upon a lie
And pushed me out, to stand on a side...

For I had powers

And with that
sealed our deal...

Empty And High
Seema Aug 2017
Holding my breath
To feel being dead
My pulse kept going
Aches in my head

So anxious to feel
Yet, too scared to die
I must be going insane
Why would I lie?

When I close my eyes
Many reels play in frames
I wouldn't utter a word
I am drowning with shame

Feelings and emotions
Mixed and confused
I wish for a bitter potion
But everytime get refused

I feel empty and high
Like my brain was erased
I often wonder, why
I'm not yet deceased?

My Beautiful Painting
Seema Aug 2017
My beautiful tulip flowers
Red, blue, yellow and white
Tucked in a flower vase
That I've placed within my sight

Away in some floral valley
In my dream, that's not true
I am picking lovely flowers
The ones that I just drew

So bright, the petals shine
Amongst the desperate weeds
Butterflies enjoy the nectar
And gather their feeds

A sudden gist, broke my dream
With a brush, I began to paint
A vase, with my favorite tulips
That looks kind of a quaint...

Or paint me black
Over my face
And around my neck

Show your hatred
Show your anger
Spill those lies
Until you can't recognise
The painted portrait
Of me,
my love...

Pronounced Insane
Seema Oct 2017
It's my fears...
That track down my tears
Long been years
Yet no one hears
Listening lies through my ears
It's my pain...
That drizzle like rain
Who else was at gain?
By pronouncing me insane
Here am held inside this room
Questions and questions
My colorful world, now a gloom
A fresh flower, lost its bloom
Now I rest with painful treat
Tomorrow another sorrowful greet
Death where are you?
Why am I standing away from the queue?
I am getting better, ain't I?
Please don't give me false hope, don't you lie!
Smiling away, hands in cuff, covered in blood
Drooling like a dope
They gave me a false hope
So I killed the robe man, thinking he was Pope
No escape, am doomed for eternity
Poisoned my food, later they blame the security
A hell on earth, now kneeling to my death
Happy are those but they'll soon feel my wrath...

Each drop soothes and mixes with my tears
Sitting in rain, perhaps after so many years...

Unknown Guest
Seema Aug 2017
Blood spurred over the floor
Stabbed with a metal claw
She laid still with eyes opened wide
No one knew, how she died?

When turned over, her heart was gone
The post mortem showed, her chest was torn
The obsession of hatred ran off the peak
FBI tracking any clues they could seek

The killer left no clues to be tracked
A hideous crime of this season
An alert on search was immediately raised
Everyone came up with their reason

Years passed, FBI stated they did their best
With no evidence, the case was put to rest
But it's still out there lingering like a pest
Who knows, it can be your next guest!!

Washed Away...
Seema Aug 2017
I was writing a poem
Sitting under my favorite tree
The weather was cool
And for a moment, I felt free

As I was scribbling my write
On the pages of my notebook
A gust of wind blew to fright
And ripped a page of my book

I began to write about my pain
The challenges, I face each day
Rushing, pouring came the rain
I left quickly to get away

The rain stopped after awhile
And the sun came out smiling
My notebook was all soaked in
Drops of water started piling

The ink drowned within the pages
All smeared, not one write escaped
The white pages, now all black
My thoughts rushed to escalate

With a smile, I picked up the book
And felt my inked pain being washed away
I think it's time to bury this book
Until then, I must find another way...

With Him Only
Seema Nov 2017
The string is tight
Loads on head
Cried whole night
I am so sad

Shall I just hang
Without a thought
Shall I just bang
Without a doubt

What's in it
I wonder now
Shall I open it
With what and how?

A scissors maybe
To cut these strings
Let me see
What this brings

He sent me this gift
A memory scrapbook
I brushed the cover to lift
How much time it took

To get all memories
Together look
From playgrounds to ceremonies
Every moment he hooked

On this scrapbook, a gift
How I miss him now
He wasn't on invitation list
Shall I call him now

Yes, I should
It was my birthday
But he could
Have wished me this day

Moments and smiles
His number I dialed
We talked for a while
I felt love blooming wild

A date on tomorrow
With him only
Gone are the sorrows
No longer lonely...

In The Dark
Seema Oct 2017
Alone in the dark
It awaits
For the people with a mark
Are its bait
The cold wind sours
The smell of blood in the air
Its been few hours
Since am struck over here
Near the sacred lake
My champ fires out
I begin to shake
As something came flying about
     A HUMAN HEAD!
     A BLEEDING HEAD!

What was out there?
How many dead?
This night is unfair
Crying slowly with a shout
It's too much to bear
I want to run out
But I could be the next prey
Groomed in blood, skinned off flesh
Kneeling down to pray
As I hear the branches clash
It's on its ways
O' sacred lake
Leash off this dark mystical sways
Hide me in your arms for heaven sake
The fear hovers nearby
For my death must be near
Silently I nest up and lay
My eyes shut, dripping in tear...

Most hearts
Sink in an ocean of pain
Most minds
Spill thoughts stress and drain
Most eyes
Cry, till the tears are no more
Most sit
And watch the sunset by the shore
Most beg
For the old love to stay
But then,
They all find way and ways to go away...

Your Spirit With Mine
Seema Jan 2018
When the wind blows
And the rhythm flows
My spirit glows

When the tide is high
And blue is the sky
My spirit tends to fly

When the sun is bright
And dark is the night
My spirit turns to light

When you are near
And consume my fear
My spirit grows to hear

Your beat within mine
Your love within me
Your voice tune fine
Your spirit dwells with mine...*

The Unnamed Gang
Seema Aug 2017
Grown, blown
The field of children
Warn, torn
The soul of mothers
Men, women
Slaughtered bitterly
Girls and boys
Then ***** easily
Missiles and tanks
Hover every corner
Blood and decay
No claim, no honor
Green grass polished
A playing field ready
Why feel so astonished?
Dead bodies lying steady
Sprayed red on field
A gruesome planned scam
None survived, all killed
By the unnamed gang!!

I Need Some Time!
Seema Aug 2017
I have learnt to forgive
And I've learnt to forget
So with peace I shall live
Without any piercing regret

Wasting my precious tears
Over impossible gains
No one cares or even hears
How my broken heart pains

The sadness in my voice
Is nothing but my inner cry
I don't have much choice
But to move on and try

I know I'll break and fall
For my soul has grown weak
But I'll break that wall
And then I will speak

......all I need is some time!

Unable to erase my thoughts

But the hurt is just too much
I cannot love you again...

Last Rose

I stopped to watch,
The gaze of sunset upon his face
As a drop of rain,
Sparkled and rolled down his cheeks
Like a tiny waterfall,
Ledged to spill, the tears to let go
What was once so dear,
Kept in so close
Left him broken
As he laid the last rose
On her grave...

Only hate is what I get

Looking back again
For the years have long past
The pain is still fresh
Memories pour in to blast
My lonely days ahead...

For a good liar
Saw from far
He entered a bar
I punctured his car
Running late
To his next date
I laughed out
To this fate
How much I hate
For he walked
Away from my gate
But who knew
I was just a bait
Now he pays
Cause his late
To meet his date
Who is at wait
In the rain
Outside her gate...

Love In Red
Seema Oct 2017
My feelings so deep
You handled it cheap
No way you can keep
You always made me weep

Gone are the love days
Forget about the kisses
Now we both have our own ways
None of us ever misses

Then why you called in
To say "Hi" the other day
You admitted committing a sin
In the most childish way

My heart melted hearing him cry
I suppose I can meet up for just another day
I doubt my feelings, even if I try
To hold onto what I vowed for, the other day

Him, with teary eyes standing with a rose
Me, looking at him with a torn heart
He knelt down to propose
Holding my hand, for support

A forgiving smile and a slight kiss
We made it up together slowly
As now both full of bliss
Standing before the holy

I do, I said as the promises being read
Love in the air flowed all the way
A slash on my white gown turn red
Both of us shot, while we sat to pray

None alive as the attackers raided
Our living dream dead, all now faded
I lost him and he lost me at the site
Death inhaled us, in the dark night!

Breaking off with all your usual ties
For your words do not  match your action
You placed this relationship in a section

With lost thoughts and confused mind
You reminded me that I was your kind

Soon I might drown being insane

Why are you dragging me in your world?
You never listened whenever I called
Please grant me freedom to leave

Burn slowly O' flame of love
Fragile-as-glass dreams may melt
Think carefully before you light the fire
Coz once before, you've been burnt

What has to happen will happen
Like the sky can not bend
In the light warmth of your body
All my life, I wish to spend

In your eyes I've seen the dreams
That you have weaved all this while
In my eyes are the splinters,
Of dreams which ***** and pile

Given a second chance to love
Else it's all darkness and haunting fears
Like the mendicants eyes brim to burst
To drink their own perennial tears...

So I stopped
While others bumped
And crossed
The light turned red
So I walked
While others stopped
And looked
PEEP PEEP
TOOT TOOT

I hear the horns!
I hear drivers shouting
Some calling out
Some just yelling
Yet I finished the cross
I lost my walking stick
While in the park
That made me sick
As my vision is dark
My stick, I couldn't find
People around so unkind
Here I weep, cause I'm blind...

A broken leg
A blind eye
I hate to beg
My life isn't a lie

Thrown by my own
On the streets to survive
Such generosity shown
Even death doesn't arrive

I had money
I had fame
Life turned funny
All played game

Accident made me impair
I could feel hate everywhere
If only the truck hadn't hit my car
But this grudge, I got to bear

Lone, restless, I only fear
Friends, families pass without care
Each moment, a drop of tear
Sheds down, this is not rare

I do wish to disappear
But I am not a coward to take my life
Each day on the same street, I appear
While bitter words cut like knife...

I know you are deeply hurt and unspoken

We shall have a happy family if you allow me
Together our life will glow and beautiful it will be...

New Beginning
Seema Jan 2018
The lines from my palms were ripped off to make a graph. A plan of my future deeds then am pushed on a raft. The flow of water took me down stream and left afloat. No medics, no boats....no coast to meet. The daring sun shot direct rays in my eyes to blind. The winds did no good and nature became so unkind. Laying half dead with muddy skin, I was caught in a whirlspin. Inside I screamed cause I was alive, outside was ragged and dead then alive. My palms no longer bleed as its been washed off. My face no longer cried as the emotions drained off. Am left in this unknown place, I hear no one...I see no one. I wished to be dead at the end of this day. I have fought but now there is no other way. Am pulled out of water by a great force. A gain of instant energy in my body, I rouse. A new life, a new beginning...all is well, that was my past dwelling.....

Walking till the end
Your silence kills

No more kisses
For you proved fake
No one misses
Then why am I still awake?

The pain in my heart
Sinking my soul
You thought you were smart
Are you comfortable in that hole?

Your grave seems empty
Flowers, I got for you
As now you're among plenty
Death too soon, came upon you...!

He hid the head
Under the bed
Not letting known
Of being a crimson clown
He sat wagging his tail
Without any fail
He jumped up and took away another head
This time I followed him and he led
To the hide out under the bed
I saw three fish heads stacked
Knowing I found out, he wagged
My dog, saving his meal
With his expression he ain't making a deal
On the floor he made me kneel
To check the food
That he hid for good
My boy
With his fish head toy

A beautiful shooting star
On which, I close my eyes
To make a wish upon the stars
Forgetting the notch of whys,
That hangs like a cliche
As if, it is all full of lies

But upon all my wishes
None has come true ever
Maybe it's just a tear drop
Of the midnight sky
A broken gem that none could stop
From a lonesome cry...

...and it seemed like his eyes, were sipping away my silent pain. from where i stood, he was just few paces away from me. i got drawn towards his dreamy mystical eyes like being charmed by a spell charmer. it felt so pure, embraced with grace, as i took my steps, my crazy heart danced to race. an invisible thread wrapped around me, was being pulled by him. his smile and that sign of care on his face, binded my feelings together, to be poured before him. he held my hand and led me to a mesmerizing sight, and everything felt so right.
his philosophical thoughts and undoubted bold talks, opened the doors and windows of my clouded mind and timid heart. he said he admired me from the start, the time he first saw me. we talked till the sun hid itself in the deep horizon. so easily shared everything that i never thought could be understood and told to anyone. i thought for once god stopped making such masterpieces but he was no dream, he was and is a reality of my life...

Within Blinks...!
Seema Nov 2017
You sound same
As you were then
Gained your fame
But, this was when?

Those happy days
Singing of songs
Shattered in million ways
Now, it all seems wrong

My eyes still blurry
It's hard to open
I was gonna marry
Yes, but what happened?

Within blinks, am new
Collecting each piece
While recognizing few

This comma lasted few years
And a lot has changed
Brushing away my tears
And you, became strange

You moved on
I was told later
From my life, long gone
Now, it doesn't matter

Accidents don't happen by choice
