Ego - a Strangulating Serpent
Shutting the door on my face
He showed his dominance,
Raising his voice on me
He reflected his control,
Cutting the phone before my reply
He nurtured his ego.
He perpetuated the same
Blooming his masculinity,
His miser brain and elite ego
Fueled her insanity.
She kept tucking her thoughts
At the back of her brain,
Eyes as beautiful as sapphire
Were flooded with rain,
The rain didn't quench anyone's thirst
But emptied her pain.
Those sacrifices were arcane
Her smile as pure as dew,
Those deep sorrows , shallow smiles
A soul piercing view.
He was a recidivator
First sorry , then get out,
Stabbing her, lashing her
Not with words but with core shaking shouts.
He himself broke the pristine jewels
Throwing the pearls one by one,
All alone in his deficit life
He was feared but respected by none .
Now counting the scattered pieces of her heart,
He realized he was striking her part by part.
The parasite found a new prey
His ego darkened his way,
Struggling to find milestones
He stumbled,rolled and ran.
But how could he ask her
After all he was a Man.
He found a desert
Desperately waiting for oasis,
Should I turn left or right
They became important choices.
He found one
But the water tasted salty,
Alas! He couldn't catch -
In his desert life
Her tears were forming that oasis.
On reaching home, he couldn't find peace
He laid himself in her arms,
Sanity, satisfaction and jubilation he felt
Which he couldn't attain in any realm.
It hit him hard-
Those tears were not of smoke but of hope,
He would emancipate her from that strangling rope
When his ego would elope.....
