POETRY WRITING CONTEST

There was a time
When I would have believed you,
And called myself muck …
But that was a long time ago.

I’m sorry you haven’t yet
Fought your demons,
But now that I have,
I’m asking you to get out of my way – once and for all

Because, you are not
The center force of my world,
And I’m certainly not
Gonna let you be.
So better pick up your bags
And go back the way you came in.

I may not pay back in kind
For all the insults you shower me with -
But please, please don’t take it for cowardice.
It’s just that I don’t have
The time or the inclination.

Because, you are not
The center force of my world
And I’m certainly not
Gonna let you be.
So better pick up your bags
And go back the way you came in.

As I sit on this pyre
the walls scream, as if stopping me
as I step into the yellow scintillation
my heart grasps, into an agony of solitude.

I shall die of a nascent murder
it did not succumb into my palms
Rather, a devotional sacrifice I give tonight
to a horrid life, I silently whisper.

These marks of engraved cruelty
adorn my skin into a tumult extortion
as I surrender my jeweled reality
into the hot anguished embrace.

The sufferings shall subsume soon
and you shall be free, from my cleavage
Renounce my concoctions,
They do not belong to you, anymore Darling.


Words betray me too often, unlike you
You have shown me, my end..who else could
I sat at your feet, dwindling with pain
as you made it numb by squatting me, again.

Now it hurts, no more
relishing the mist of acedia
That often sermons the itchy surface
beneath the burnt skin of smoke and ash.

Tempered footprints and willowy reflections
tarnished tapestry of thoughts
This is now my home, O!Lover
where nothing can be burned, anymore.


This tale is written by the charcoal of vengeance
it cannot be erased by the elements of abscess
I write this farrago, of not too long ago
of a marasmus woman, who perished, too soon.

Within these walls, I sit in this pyre
while you are gone, I dance on a sad tune
I see you in the smoke arising out of me
I see your hungry eyes, in my fire, aglow.

When we first talked to each other,
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing,
And I'll be there for you till the end.

You listen when I have a problem,
And help dry the tears from my face.
You always take away my sorrow,
And put happiness in its place.

We can't forget the fun we've had,
Laughing till our faces turned blue.
Talking of things only we find funny,
People think we're insane-if they only knew.

I guess this is my way of saying thanks,
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend,
And being with me through it all...........

I woke up one morning,
With a rose by my side,
Thy dulcet smell invigorated the jitters
Of an arrival very unknown,
A new life awaits in anticipation,
May be a brighter sky effaces the murky past,

For I can feel the rain in the air,
As the fragrance kissed my lips,
And moistened my heart forever,
Pour thy love and deluge me into thee,

As the day slowly starts to fade,
The essence too begins to jade,
My heart has been painted today,
With colours Red and Blue,

Thy time has come to bid good-bye
My eyes would be staring at the sky tonight,
Waiting in anticipation, again.

I
It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s way beyond tolerance
In a fresh pool of blood, a man lying on his face
Hell broke loose, Gosh who did that
Here, there, everywhere, I could now smell a rat
A half-torn letter was lying by him
The two words legible were ‘hatred’ and ‘extreme’
II
She breathed her last for she was dying
The pot-bellied officer was busy prying
“Ahem, where is her husband?”
A prickly man replied –
“She lived with her lover-friend”
III
The boy was stabbed last night.
After a furious fight
with his dad -
He was upset, he was sad.
The girl next door looked broken and shocked
She remembered him shrieking at night,
when he was brutally knocked!
IV
You win, you lose, the spirit should be high
You lead, you trail – never say die.
The street-play contest was a Great Success
The ‘girl-next-door’ emerged the Winner Murderess!

Love Conquers All
For love is blind, and lovers cannot see, the pretty follies that they commit,
All they wish for is the person and only more love to remit!
So all you lovers out there, jump in the pool of love just once,
The worst that can happen is either a deep seated death or the love commence!
-SILENCE-

There are moments in life, when everything seems dark
Time seems to run slow, and you want fate to make its mark
You walk without hopes
And trust seems to slide down the slopes
But it’s a fact that life is mystery
And it can’t always be a straight trajectory
The curves in path all you learn
So learn to bag them and let’s not turn
Experiences and feelings will be your treasure
For they will be all that you can measure
Feel and wish and learn and grow
That will cause your soul to glow.

Do you feel all alone
Do you yearn for my clone
Does your heart hit you hard
For those beats were on my cards
Just remember, I can never leave you
For how would universe make the moments few
When you need, feel my name
I would touch your heart in pain
To heal it with my thoughts and love
And caress all feelings that you had to curb
Touch your heart and feel my life
I would walk with you for miles
Wherever I am, I would wish to see a smile
That rekindles my spirit and help all while

If he knew
If he knew about the depths of my love, would he really love me or be the same?
If he knew about the innocence of my feelings, would he greet me with open arms or still just that smile lame?
If he knew about the crazy doodles I make, would he take me seriously or laugh it off?
If he knew about the romantic dreams I have, would he still be my friend or cut me off?
So many questions, so many doubts, so many feelings, all unannounced,
If I were to get any answers would I still feel the love or die of a heartbreak in the crowd?

Time
They say time heals it all,
But can it bring back the smile that lit his face?
Or the giggle that now his heart erased?
And the shine in his eyes that brightened the room, that now lays in a darkened gloom.
They say time heals it all,
But can it ever erase the memories we cherished together, that seem to haunt him like forever?
Or the fact that I’m no more with him, and all he does is wish to not be grim?
The night still stays alive in his mind and all he does is curse it wild. Had he not been drunk, had he not been sullen, had he not swerved so hard, had he just looked at me for once…
I’m no longer around, but I still see him and I still feel his love And I still sit by his side and tell him, it’s all-right.
But he can’t feel me, or hear me, or know that it’s ok… It’s just destiny that put us this way. It’s been 10 years and I’m counting on, and they say- Time heals it all.
