THE MORTAL BEAST

Unpredicted explosions of the inglorious of beasts,
She relishes the substance, on heads she feasts.
Prowls on the inner child destroying the eye,
She tears up the guts, and unknowing the genius dies.
My self is the fuel, like a tumor she grows,
All set for an outburst when another beast roars.
Victorious in the battle, she predates them all,
While some bow in fear, some in appall,
Bow some beasts anxiously, anticipating her fall.
Atrocious is the laughter, with the humane deceased,
Such are the instincts of the big headed beast.
Realization came by my ferocious one,
Mutilated was her when the battle was done.
The self took control at the advantageous hour,
Taught the beast pardon, an all enduring cover.
Thus healed by time and tamed by the spirit,
Never does she roar, why, she doesn’t even cry,
Now rests her in peace, in sleep she must die.

RECLUSE

I fear the times when you are far,
The injured heart leaves a scar,
Frantically I head no where the darkness has me all,
Just want to hear u love me, please reiterate my call.
When you deny me darling the whole world is gruesome dark,
Where I wriggle to know the reason why, my love couldn’t spark?

I try and try to be the one, always to my disdain,
Every time I make you smile, I feel I give you pain.
I feel deserted, feel forsaken when u leave away with the setting sun,
I have no friends only those who toss it just for fun.

Your ambiguities and equivocals kick starts an ardor pursuit,
For something which I long so much, known as the forbidden fruit.
Every time I want to offend, God I really want to sin,
Lest despise, I end up; taking it on the chin.

I try to keep my mind in place but the heart conquers it all,
Always giving me a scintilla of hope,
Some day the heart I yearn would reiterate my call.

SECOND YOUTH

Wriggling through the night, Want a touch of u tonite,
Dont know what it is, But im missing your kiss,
Tears flooding down my cheek, The whole world looks so hazy,
Crying the whole dark night, I ve really gone crazy,
The long lasting hours cannot be dealt
The love in my heart cannot be felt,
The feeling is so quiet, and the words are so tacit,
Its really easy to say,
But I guess I know why u withhold,
Cause there’s someone else,
For whom a commitment you behold,
The mere thought that you know him scatters me apart,
Like a thousand darts that pierces my heart,
You give our relationship, a face of friendship,
But I know darling, there is really something more,
I know the fact baby, we love each other to the core,
We have tonnes of memories to remember and cherish,
Till our mortal bodies die and perish,
But there are many lifes I believe the soul has down the line,
This time I’ ve lost you though; sometime I'll make you mine.
