Isolated Screams
KP Apr 18
The silence is carving out my heart
Pitch black,tight ropes,lost roads
Mind in a functionally confused haze
Separating my voice from my own
Inner monologues are carefully woven
Seeking company deep within the void
I shout out and listen to the echoes
Echoes of pain, tears and hurt within the heart
Tonight I hope for someone to return
Tomorrow, I still might get a call
Yet I wonder years from now
When I am completely inside the walls
That I build for myself now
Would there even be that hope?
Could I even expect company ?
Or a soul to hold me back from insanity?
I am embarking on the darkest path
Even shadows wont follow me into that depth

SHE
KP Apr 15
SHE
Please don't awaken her
Cease your drumrolls and applause
Please let her be
Do not pull her out of her slumber

She scares me
to my very existence
Her presence
should not be sought

Every night I had quenched her thirst
Listening ardently
to her never ending accusations
and pretending to care

I wish not to go back
to that state of utter dismay
I wish not to hear
one more song of pain

Without her
I have been at peace
Do not disrupt
the tranquility that I achieved

You are unfamiliar
with her constant bickering
for those were reserved
for me and me alone

Her hate and disgust
coated with sympathy
had more than once
driven me to a knife

Her insanity is a secret
that I tried to hide
To keep her within my head
was a mistake, it seems

Chaining her up
was my last resort
She screamed and clawed
but at last she was gone

So do not wake her
the one that made me question my sanity
the one that made me cry for reasons unknown
the one that I have buried deep within my mind

For she is me
but the version that scares my very being.
Please leave your valuable feedback. Thank you

The Intertwined Fates
KP Apr 13
There once was a kingdom of gods
Far into the world beyond our deeds
Two sons to the king, who ruled in truth
Two sons, two kings, yet none to rule
The kingdom awaited its king of new
While the eldest frolicked in pleasure
The youngest brooded in thoughts of court
Both as distant as the moon was to sun
Despite the king's commands to ascend his right
The crown prince dared to descend to depths
He fell in love with a maiden down there
Drawn to her withering life from far
He followed her as the breeze in her hair
Moving mountains to pave her way
The gods above saw the golden chance
To rid the throne of the prince forever
They fed the king with lies and truths
Making him command the second prince in haste
"Bring back the mortal’s head tied to your brother’s wrist.
Soon, the crown awaits the rightful heir."
He left to carry out his father's word
Yet he too fell in love before soon
The girl he thought he were to end
Became the one he would end himself for
A mistake so divine that he considered blessed
The brothers lived days of peace
With their lovers, but it was a quick breath
Soon kings and gods descended upon their joy
Giving the ultimate test of love
One was asked to give up his dreams
To ascend the throne and rule in pain
The younger prince bowed his head to it
He wore the crown though it made him bleed
He erased his traces from his lover’s mind
And became the silent god in her life
The older one, on the other hand, gave up his life
Of power and divinity and immortal truth
He became the lover and not the god
Mortal and weak beside his love
Both brothers gave up their lives—
One for love, and the other for life
Just to clarify the second prince fell in love with another girl, who is mistook to be his brother's lover.

The Desire to remain
KP Apr 13
The destination confuses me
My desire to conquer it, even more
When did I decide to leave
Every comfort that I had ever known?
Why did I want to break the walls?
Walls that kept me in desperate bliss
What drove me to this insanity
That now I cannot turn from
The journey is almost at its end
While I just want the road to bend
I did reach the heavens desired
But lost my footing on the ground
Moments, now I cherish
For they may be the last innocence
Memories crumble at my feet
My vanity well punished
I mourn everything that I had ever known
Yet you cannot turn pages torn
My life until this fleeting moment
Runs down my dying eyes
The poem reflects on the agony faced in leaving behind the comfort of familiarity to conquer new heights.
