It was flawed
Less love, more physical,
It was naught but infatuation
It was superficial,
Discreet yet magical
Phenomenal at times but still lustful,
Feigned feelings, dark soul,
It was naught but infatuation
It was superficial.
The world is filled with liars and cheats.

I thought that if I'd go in depths,
Extract out all my emotions,
Spill words and pain on a paper,
I'd feel my pain fade away,

I thought if I was alone,
If I was hurt and my soul, remorseful,
I could write a few words of love and abhor,
The ache would subside and fill up my hearts emptiness,

I thought that if you were away,
If i was inexpressible,
I could feel adrenaline rush in my brain,
To exterminate the distance that's keeping us away,

Lately, I thought a lot about us,
About him, as he too is away,
Then my family and her, also distant,
So I wrote down this poem to feel better, but still I feel dead from inside because I'm so faraway!
Being away from home and the people you love is an awful nightmare!

I've stayed quite long in despair,
Lurked my fears, faked my emotions,
I've been asked by many if i was okay,
But I kept myself composed and engraved,
So many times i fell in abyss,
A different dimension with hopelessness contained,
I cried alone in the darkness,
Everytime that i was pale I'd say,'I'm okay!',
Slowly and gradually i lost my faith,
In burdening up sins and choosing to be left stained,
On losing a part of me i realized,
How alone i was and how regretful i was,
It was the emptiness in my soul that struck me hard,
It was the fraility in the choice of my words that sunk me in the dark,
Every tear that  I shed,
Every memory that i had,
All but a lie pulling me to my own death,
All the guilt that i had,
Scared of what I'd done and i how I'd face God,
I lost myself half way and the other half just faded away!

I was told the first time you lay your eyes on me,
It was not attraction it was love,

I was told about things you hadn't felt before,
For i was the reason that made you feel more alive,

But this time if something happens to me,
I'd say I'd be the reason of your salvation!

This worlds needs to change,
It needs revolutionized minds and sanes,

Politicians corrupt and misuse resources,
Voices of people interrupted and ignored,

What has this world come to?
Where have all these Mavericks and Dissidents run off to?

How is it that one preaches them?
Maybe a few of these can help reshape, remold and restructure the world.

Let
Let not be rebuked
by what the society says,

Let yourself spark
and ignite like the incandescent light in a dark room,

Let there be words of wisdom
let others minds be blown away,

Let not despair stab you
or the crude harsh words back you down,

Be the guiding light of your tunnel
because it's you who can help yourself,

Of tyranny and brutality
let not your pride hurt someone's ego,

Let not others deceit break you down
always remember that every scar has an even deeper lesson to it!

Possession-ed kisses and passionate marks
under sheets of skin and layers of bites,
a shade of bluish and greenish bruises-
vibrantly sparks delight,

****** swoons bring in an urge
an unwanting sigh escapes
and leaves my trembling lips in thirst-
of a desire not yet suffice,

be it love or romance
the heart suddenly collides
shattered and beguiled by this beauty
replaces an arousing love bite.
