Ray of Hope

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

The Devil In the Flesh

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.

Locked Door

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


Reverse

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!
