Premium Member Halloween Horror

        Octopus spinning twisting terrifying tentacles.
     Witty witch showing black magic doing miracles.
    Vampires flying all around displaying wide wings.
    Kids of ghost with long teeth laugh loud and swings.
                                                                       
              Ghostly gibbous Moon peeps through clouds, winks wizard.
              Nocturnal owl whirling  eyes turns back to attack limping lizard.
              Lovely lioness left lazy  lion embracing lonely  leopard.
             
                Unicorn washing curvy horn in blood with glycerin soap
               Demons playing tug of war with venomous python as rope.
                Opponents were gang of giants: Scary monsters notorious.
                   Black spider crawling, jumping, running rushing ferocious.  

         Eight eyes of black widow sparkled through wide window .
         Moon cast ghostly shadow on shrubs in adjacent meadow .   
         Weird witch cunning most sitting with scary ghost
          eating rotten mutton roast and burnt butter toast.

                   Kids of ghost carve sweet swollen pumpkin 
                   Valorous vampire , howling wolf jumped in.
                    Gang of ghosts danced merrily with kith and kin.
     
         Vigorous going on scary Halloween dance
         All are exulted , hated to miss the chance.
           Kitty cat danced standing on its  paws
             exhibiting strong spiky curdy claws.
           
         Violent viper, always hyper continuous shedding tear
          ' I love you, Dear ' to whisper close to my ears.
       Jumper Vampire hugged me swift to inspire,
        gifting me a shiny sapphire : Me about to expire .       

        Green-eyed black cat chasing macro mouse wagging tails.
     Vultures and hawks coming in flocks ringing jingle bells   
     Me in party at  haunted house trembling and heart fails.

Premium Member What Keeps Me Going

Life, like a practiced comedian on the stage
Keeps smiling and frowning in turn.
Under the embers of joy that spark from our hearts,
Lies the pulverized heap of charcoaled dreams!
	
Sometimes I find life, a tight rope walk
When a false step can prove so very fatal
And fear it might land me in some bottomless abyss
Demanding me to proceed with utmost caution
At such times, I raise my heart in prayer
For divine assistance and godly intervention 
Sure, this abidance in God keeps me on 
When life turns a trek through labyrinthine paths

While staying at the Himalayan heights of joy
Sometimes I feel hurled down into the nadir of despair
Soon after proudly flaunting my trophy
I see myself smashed into utter defeat…. 
When trials and sorrows, thus dominate my life
And joy, I find is only a passing phase,
I turn to inspirational books and biographies of men
Who have dared and won against all odds
And thus fuel my mind with fresh hope 

Sometimes when I feel moody for no reason
And am weighed down by an inarticulate ache
I make a stroll into nature, to the silent shade of trees
To hear the nightingales sing, to see the bees collecting pollen
To feast on the beauty that surrounds, 
And inhale the salubrious air that comes wafting 
Then I am filled with a new vigor and renewed zest
Brightening every corner of my darkened mind

In all ups and downs, when life becomes full of care
I withdraw into a lonely corner with my pen and paper
And tap at the fountain springs of my imagination 
When a cascade of feelings plunge down from my heart,
Spurting out in broken jets with or without rhyme 
Unveiling inmost secrets and thoughts of joy or gloom
Then it quickly hands me down with a therapeutic effect
And the storm inside ceases and a divine calm settles

Took Two To Tango

It is disasters like these that give
Good old love a bad name.
Blame the one who cheated
But believe me you,
It took two to tango. 

From a painter's testimony, 
She had a spark of purity 
And a twinkle in her eye that hinted dark desires.
Her voice was a midnight thought 
Uttered in a whisper to the soul.

She made promises  beyond imagination 
And her voice was without remorse. 
Each time she whispered my grinding horses 
Tied with a rope of self control to the tip of divine scriptures
Kicked their hoofs and threatened to  break free.

She took me to the depth of the abyss 
And quenched the eternal fires of lustful demnation. 
Hand in hand we explored the thin boundaries
Between curiosity and blasphemy. 
We crossed the blurred lines between faith and stupidity. 

She crucified me to the cross of my ignorance 
And spilled my folly in a fashionable way.
When I woke up the next morning
I was before the judgement sit of my beloved.
Answering for crimes I never knew were possible to commit. 

My beloved,
She promised to rip my heart out.
My beloved wanted me to watch my heart die down
As it lay helplessly outside my chest in a gruesome way.
She promised to hang me as a witch afterwards. 

It is disasters like these that give
Good old love a bad name.
Blame the one who cheated
But believe me you,
It took two to tango.

i do this to myself

i feel stuck
tied to a chair
forced to sit in the center of a busy crowd 
unable to move
just tapped watching everyone pass by
doing everything they should be
staying on the perfect path 
the rope that binds me is rough
it's the harsh reminder that i'm useless
sitting in a chair in the middle of a crowd
everyone passing by
having a purpose 
and then there's me
i'm the only person in the chair for a reason
i have no purpose
nothing going for me 
the chair's cold, hard seat reminds me
this is exactly what i deserve
no matter how hard i try 
i'm still stuck in the chair
but the thing is 
the rope that binds my wrists
isn't tied to the chair
i'm free to leave whenever i want
btu i choose to stay
worrying about everyone else around me
when i could be free to join them
if i could only take a moment 
to look down at the rope instead of them

Suicidal

This is not for those with weak stomachs.  

She pulls out her teeth
One by one
Feeling no grief
Just a job to be done

Alone in her flat
Supported by a wall
A malnourished cat
Together they crawl

Starved for a feeling
More stout than despair
Nothing to bring
Not a soul to care

An irritable guard
Positioned outside
A cushion of lard
Softens his hide

He dares not glance
When she passes by
Fixed in a stance
She wants him to pry

But she knows he won't
He just doesn't care
Most people don't 
Even those that stare

So there she remains
Two floors above
Bound by chains
Rejected by love

A rope, she places
With a Birdseye view
Staring dead at their faces
Her lips are blue

That Unpromising Smile

You give me that unpromising smile
I hear your murmurs and cries
Please stay awhile…stay awhile…
You’re a lovely child in my eyes

Angels do fly
Like eagles in the free-spirited sky
Darling, don’t worry – 
Don’t be afraid of the currents of the wind
Baby, I’ll carry your load – 
Release your happiness 
Promise me you’ll be like this
As long as we both depend on each other
I won’t deny that I think fondly of you
Oh, and I don’t know the reason why
We fly so high
In the aqua-blue sky

You give me that grumpy frown 
And it signals something’s wrong
I give in to gravity – we’re spiraling down
Spiraling down…and you’re wearing a woeful gown
You’re everything I love
You are the miracles that sprinkle from up above 

Angels do fly
Like eagles in the free-spirited sky
Darling, don’t rush things through – 
I’ll swallow my pride…
There’s nothing to hide
There’s nothing to hide
Don’t be afraid of the currents of the wind
Baby, I’ll carry your load and I’ll be by your side– 
Release your cheerfulness every single day
Promise me you’ll be remain this way 
As long as we both depend on each other
I won’t deny that I think highly of you, my darling angel
Oh, and I don’t know the reason why
We fly so high
In the aqua-blue sky

Promise me one last time
That you will be brave
And grow like a tree flourishingly
You didn’t lose hope and you held on to the rope
With a good grip
You’re a strong child
You made my heart dance to your priceless tune 
I feel so soft and distasteful like a prune 
We will hold each other tight soon
Before the afternoon…
While you took wing, 
I watched you soar away…foolishly
I won’t bid
You a farewell!
Where does your heart dwell?

Melancholy of Misery

Haven't I loved you enough?
Then why do you have to be tough 
All the time and hide 
Your vulnerabilities that reside
Like a happy family inside
Of your heart, oh, heart, alas! your heart!
Why did you become such a cold bard?
Your heart's nothing but a broken shard. 
So, tell me, why wasn't love sufficient 
And why it was always deficient?
Forgive me, I couldn't save you
From you, cause I already knew
Deep down that you would be
Nothing but a melancholy memory 
Fleeting away slowly from me. 
From me to you, I loved you,
I truly did love you, I know you knew,
But all the love was in vain,
it was just miserably mundane,
It couldn't, appease your suffering and pain.

I'd rather die 
Than bidding goodbye
To you, only you, yes,
My feet returning to your house,
Again and again as a mess,
My heart that apparently allows
Me to you, to you and I,
Contagious connection,
I can't, I can't say goodbye 
To your love and my affection. 

Please, I beg you, please,
Don't push me away,
Nothing it won't appease,
At your feet, let me sway 
In the melancholy of misery
Of my folly for being in love,
The feeling's warm and wintery,
I worship you, put you above
Everything else, I hope 
That you know your love 
Is tying me to you like a rope
Unbreakable, unbelievable, unbearable.
I have loved you so long,
I can't even tell what's right and wrong.

Premium Member Three Chords and the Truth

Biting on words
 so hard knuckles crack; 
You should have told me; 
Warned me every broken verse
would be something shattering, new; 
That it would be three chords and the truth; 
When my thoughts close like walls
catch me, hold me, don’t let me fall;
Choking on a lump in my throat 
tip my chin and say ‘No’;
Turn those eyes and throw me a rope; 
Biting on honesty so hard it burns,
the melody as that record turns;
Setting me on fire and I can’t breathe,
all I want is for you to tell me
 ‘I’m not going anywhere’;
That it’s ok to let this song play through,  
That you aren’t going to turn and go
as soon as I turn up the stereo;
Drowning in a rhythm smooth as ice;
I thought I knew, but everything I didn’t 
is leaving me longing, dizzy on words; 
Dizzy on three chords and the truth.

My Love Cannot Be Told

My love you are not with me,
My love I am so cold
My love I love you deeply
My love cannot be told…

To come to me and hurry
For I’m wrinkling like a prune
My hair is now half silver
With much despair and ruin

Once we are together
To drink from loving cup
Will you hold my walking cane
Or simply hold me up?

The dream to merely marry
Is fading like the sun
Counting on the lottery
Which I have not yet won

The dentist does await me
You don’t have his degree
Maybe when I see him-
He will marry me…

You have no competition
For me you are the best
If you shall not come to me
I surely will protest

It’s becoming so ridiculous
Pull your finger out
Guess it does not matter...
Now with so much doubt.

Thank God I have this pillow
And on my wall a moth
Again once more-emotional;
Upon my lips some froth.

I blame you for my fatness
And my broken wing
This residence is evidence;
Blame for everything.

It’s all your fault the sun came up
Your fault the sun went down
It’s all your fault the moon came up
And left with such a frown.

It’s all your fault- the oxygen
Your fault the rain does fall
It’s all your fault you are a stud
Your fault you’re really tall

You're to blame my hands are old
Your fault I am so wilty
All your fault my back is sore
You're absolutely guilty

My love you are not with me,
My love I am so cold
My love I love you deeply
My love cannot be told…

To Walk Beside You

"To Walk Beside You"


I met you in the silence
Between laughter and retreat,
Where fire met still water
And wild hearts dared to meet.

You saw the storm inside me
And called it too much flame,
But it’s the heat that forged my spirit,
Not a thing I’ll ever tame.

You asked for open softness,
For a love that wraps and mends,
But love is not a binding rope,
It’s where the breaking ends.

I’ll walk with you through sorrow,
I’ll hold your trembling hand,
But I won’t step out of myself
To help you understand.

You crave a safer rhythm,
A song with gentler sound,
But mine is sung in thunder,
Still sacred, still profound.

So heal, love, and I’ll witness,
I’ll be there, brave and true,
But I can only love you fully
If I’m allowed to be me too.

Not to fix, not to follow,
Not to shrink or bend or hide,
But to meet you in the middle,
Whole, unmasked, and side by side.
