When the entire world excoriates you
And people you trusted the most, betrayed
The outcome that you predicted fall through
Friends and neighbors call you for a crusade
And if success of yours getting delayed
There comes a new ray of hope, Prayer
Remember God is always there to hear
Just trust him in all miserable times
The almighty will wipe away your tears
He will give you the potential to climb
What have I become; no more can I recognize myself.
In the dark my shadow burrows beneath my skin in stealth.
When I look in the mirror there's a phantom of evil.
I have sucked in eyes, blood dripping fangs and ruby halo.
The skin I wear feels no pain, pressure, warmth nor perspires.
This skin is cold, pale, old and its my counseling attire.
I'm with apparition like hands and have ghostly fingers.
The touch I bring excoriates and always lingers.
I'm with frozen like breath that coats the glass mirror in white.
I am more than a demon, I'm the Devil inside.
Famelocked,
sometimes he was talking to flowers,
asking their names.
In the house
that never sleeps,
infidelity brings the charm.
Intense gravity
excoriates the crotch.
A supernova is born.
Worlds apart,
I am there,
where you were not.
A burnt-out wall and broken window
were left to tell the tale,
but door was still there shut.
SATISH VERMA
As solemn curse extracts the entity of worse,
so moderating to a lesser verb
excoriates to slang of verse.
And so it is derivative's adverse,
is anger, that I cannot love thee - terse,
with gentle thought as in some morning's nurse.
I love thee, there it be, in violence or curse -
I love thee, love thee, love thee - no reverse!
