Edith Wharton
On a sheer peak of joy we meet;
Below us hums the abyss;
Death either way allures our feet
If we take one step amiss.

One moment let us drink the blue
Transcendent air together—
Then down where the same old work’s to do
In the same dull daily weather.

We may not wait . . . yet look below!
How part? On this keen ridge
But one may pass. They call you—go!
My life shall be your bridg.

I've learnt that..
you can miss the memories along with the butterflies fluttering in your stomach
but not the person responsible for them

you can love the idea of a certain someone
yet mistake it as loving him whole-heartedly

you can choose to refuse to give up on your loved one
but
even that determination is invalid when fate does not permit both of you to work out

I've learnt..yet it does not necessarily means that it
gets
any
better

We are told that monsters only appear in our dreams,

And that they could never really hurt us.

To be safe we keep the light on hoping that will keep them away

But what about the monsters who come when you’re not asleep

The ones who hurt you over and over

And no amount of light will keep them away

in older days we were not fazed
to tarnish precious coins of time;
to drain the sea, to turn our cheek
with faith in opaque lies.

the mines were dug, the grids were plugged
in endlessly. we erased all thoughts of ends.
beyond our reach, the future breached
filthy seafoam; surely not the fault of men.

the warp & woof of history
met blades sharp with centuries
(inevitably).

there was laughter when we saw the tide -
now "..." grows where green has

died.
Different is synonymous with undesirable
An egg hatched by the wrong bird
The story of an ugly duckling
Ugly because he is difference

Environment defines what is attractive
A monkey in a gorillas cage will seem weak
Even a lion amongst deer will be rejected
A diamond amongst plastic is an outcast

No matter how beautiful we are if we are in the wrong place we are ugly
To be where you do not belong is to always miss a home never known
A longing to be free from the bonds that keep us down

To leave, to run away into the darkness in hopes of a better future
To smart or to scared to give up what we have for an uncertainty
We struggle to grasp at straws when we seek to conquer all

A ugly mess today
A beautiful arrangement unseen
But tomorrow when none are left to mock
We stand seen immaculate, pristine in the light of freedom

Everyday a new chapter
With every chapter we are given the chance to end the book
Or we can write a story worth reading

Two generations sit aligned,
In the home of the Eternal Father.
The people all pray for the cleansing of sins,
While I neglect to even bother.
I see the passion within their eyes,
As they steadily walk the line.
Cross thy arms or cup thy hands,
To receive the bread and wine.
Through the motions I pace myself,
For my faith has disappeared.
The prayers in-scripted inside my mind,
Revive memories I immensely fear.

It is not just I,
Who's connection will never restore.
But applies to the woman who gave me life,
Our beings have transformed.
“The Lord” no longer shepherd's us,
Beyond our wants and fears.
So when it comes time to bow our heads,
In deep cognition we will appear.

Wake up!
You suicidal imbecile,
Before you close your eyes forever.
The Lord questions your existence,
You answer cowardly.


Throw away,
The poison you concocted,
Miseries don't end in a gulp.
The World where change is a desire,
You welcome disappointment.


Give up,
Your pretentious love,
You fancy everything carnal.
Spifflicate the make-believe world,
You're no artist.


Mourn,
For friends lost, love forgotten,
Identity stolen, families abandoned.
The Universe harbors treachery,
You're no survivor.


Don't run,
From which you cannot hide,
Ignorance is not always bliss.
Bury your head in the sand,
You're in denial.


Be fair,
To those who cared,
Whether you're with them or not.
Humanity has no bias,
You're no monster.


Muster,
Your strength for the days to come,
You'll need it to thwart the negativity.
Always a reward for the early bird.
You're no opportunist.


Shove it,
The logic that you impugn,
This inhuman trait of yours.
For someone as rational as you,
You don't make sense.


And when you accept what is real,
Don't forget to tender exact change.
For the Fare share of your sins,
You are solely responsible.


Don't go by my words,
It's just me and my thoughts abound.
For I seek the truth and nothing more.
Where The World relies on seers and oracles,
I'm no soothsayer.

Revenge

Shaurya Pal
Once bitten,the poison intensifies.
Once fallen,the angel cries.
Once corrupted,a nation dies.
Once betrayed,Revenge survives.

Look at you,
your aggravated agony,
it flows through you,
the lust for indemnity.
You no longer hide,
the pain,it outlives you.
The humiliation inside,
Revenge,it seeks you.
Regain the selfish pride,
else suffering,it awaits you.
At long last you must decide,
if not,
this sense of shame,
it'll **** you.

You couldn't hurt a fly,
now you must dispose off the swarm,
it would only be fair to try,
and cause a bit of harm,
to those who hurt you,
to those who deceived you.
Time for bitter coldness is nigh,
enough hiding in the warm,
it won't help you.

No friend or foe,
shall follow your quest,
alone you are now,
do what you are at best.
Think not,follow instincts,
for all that thinking has slowed you down.
Your conscience is your enemy,
for all that morality,
has made you look like a clown.

Its the very code of life,
do unto others,
what they did to you.
Mustn't you suffer,
for such brave men are few.

Follow your heart,
finish what they started.
Crush those cretins,
for the vile they crafted.

Go out there,
show them what you're made of,
with all that scheming and plotting,
there's nothing to be scared of
so unshroud your fears,
abandon your courtesy,
put the fear in them,show no mercy
