The Abyss
Every dream shattered
Bruised and battered
Inhibitions shed
As innocents bled
Still clinging
Clutching
To my eroding faith
I envisage
A telling death
Bejewelled with a wreath
Of dignity
Not a trace
Stranded
In a chasm
Of disgrace
I cry in anguish
Writhe in pain
All hopes
Brutally slain
Apathy plenteous
Intentions hideous
Repugnance galore
Comes to fore
Obscene, atrocious
Promiscuous demeanour
Nothing to delineate
From a vapid lecher
Encore
Is it?
Or desires more pernicious
Beware of
Designs vicious,malicious
Speechless I stand
Amidst the abyss
Aghast
Apalled
Strangled
Struggling
To breathe
The air
So perverse
Lest I estrange
My own chaste
Friends?
Foes?
Oblivion!!!
The Shallow Depths
Flamboyance
Or thus you pretend
So hard, just to apprehend
It is but an art
To traverse
Through the deep bowels of your heart
Wish
You were only a friend
But that is
Not the trend
That façade
It ain’t gonna last
For all frivolity is
A thing of the past
This dialogue
A prologue
For the years to come
Together we’ll hum
The tunes of ecstasy
I ideate
It’s still not too late
To start afresh
You’re still my crush
How hard I strive
To contrive
My strengths I harness
To rid myself
Of all insidiousness
Those who think
Such feelings are scarce
Their life is
Nothing more than a farce
Accompany me
To a higher plane
The world unknown
Free of profane
Your benign soul
Like the sound of a koel
Whispers softly
As barefoot you tread
Wish I was
The grass beneath
I, a puppet
Tied to a thread
You pull the string
And along you sing
The purity of thought
My mind distraught
You caress, you tickle
I squirm
A flame so fickle
My heart aches
For all it takes
Is your captivating smile
I never felt so vile
Oh! how I miss
The brush of your tender lips
Against mine
I still seek
That peck on the cheek
The aroma of your hair
Leaves me in despair
The pearl in your eyes
The trembling hands
The delectable lies
The silent moments
When the rules were bent
When nothing was spoken
When everything was said
A dream fulfilled
When you went red
I want to hold you tight
I feel so light
Embrace me, hug me
Out there, it’s a dark night
How much I yearn
How much I pine
Just to learn
Will you be mine?
