Black and White
My demons came last night
They caught me when my sword was
In its sheath and my armour hung
On the wall, didn't I loathe myself?
They came in black gums and white teeth
Could it not lend some respite

For a distressing spirit?
My demons mirrored my piano last night
My fingers were gateways to torment
And through my arms they gloated —
Black and white betrayed me
Until my guardian angel came

Through the mist of my eyes
And the fog in my brain —
She clothed me in my armour
Oh! They did tremble in that hour
From whence they came they fled.
Tale of how haunting shadows of the past came and were conquered

Shock
I have walked in this city
Calmly lethal, it is electricity —
Do I, dear heart whisper it to my head
That you will yet again on this path tread?
Current ripples run through my spine.
How do I defend your irregular beats
The deafening crescendo and the mercurial
Diminuendo hand-made by the shock
Of this very hour?

You had seen her before dear heart
The butterflies were just eggs
Did they grow in gloom of the night?
For the voltage flies like a kite
I have walked in this perplexity
Deja vu! It gags my spirit —
You will break again and she will
Take her share of the shard like others,
Run, and leave me in shock!.
Contemplating the risks of a new beginning

Seabed
Once an ocean of disgust
Now I dive at my own freewill
Reaching for the seabed
The irony of life — compromise sometimes is the gateway to turnaround of habits

— The End —
