Slithering and Creeping Along the Moonlit Path
Where Dark Desires Permeates the Hidden Caverns of My Heart
An Enchanted Road, A Supplicant Ritualist Journey
Beyond the Seas of Perpetual Agony
Confronting Sinister Vices In the Canyon of Piteous Wails
Seeking The Crossroads of Equilibrium Where Virtue Prevails
This Path Navigates the Depths of My Soul Harbor
Abode to My Grotesque Daemons Balanced by Angels of Blissful Splendor
Goddess Luna, Witness to Submission and Surrender
Mystical Luminary With Her Reflective Glow
Reveals the Doorway Pillars of Emerald and Gold, Arch of Ivy Hanging Low
Precept by Precept Steps on the Battened Cobbled Stone Road
Paved with Desire, Despair and Hope Inward Pilgrimage To the Moon Sage's Abode
For I Am a Wanderer of The Dark Night, Purposely Endowed
Untangling Threads to Complete My Soul's Contract I Vowed!
Hecate Whispers Songs My Shadows Sing
Of Liberation, Perfection, Growth and Healing.
OH THAT COLOURFUL DESIGN…
That colourfully designed paper that can make one insane…
Crazily sought after by young and old,
Humans live on it till they die
Always throwing men into mayhem.
Preferred above nature
Preferred above love
Preferred above the beings
Even above the universe.
Religious houses,homes,society are in trouble,
Can make you powerful with it
And hopeless without it.
A scarce tool which everyone need…
Readily available for murderers, robbers,
Assassins and ritualist…
You might become a ritualist to have it in surplus.
May heal but can destroy
You can only survive with it in hospitals.
Elders no longer live long,
Children destinies thwarted.
Please go back to where you came from!
Let us live in peace and harmony…
Its more harm than pleasure!
Mr M...
Boundaries untouched-
I held your hands.
Peer to peer.
The highway apart-
we will become strangers,
when life would beat the flower beds.
From mountain top-
the moon will come down,
to ask for the way to martyrdom.
How will I find you-
riding on a hurricane,
when the deluge underwhelms the bridge.
Not made public-
I took you in moonlight,
celebrating the arrival of the cage.
Satish Verma
1.As land tolerates diggers
great does ridiculous.
2.Pardoning infinite harms good
forgetting betters it
3.Poorest poor deny guests
great bears idiots.
4.To be determined preserve
Patience for ever
5.Impatients, disregarded but tolerants
prized as gold.
6.Intolerants enjoy a day
others for ever.
7.Though others did unbearable
better evade unrighteousness.
8.Succeed those impolite prides
by condoning nobility.
9.Bearing acrimomious words, pure
of the renounced.
10.Fasting ritualist, second best
bearing worthless words

Nude, she stood alone in a copse of trees
Brine taste of sea air brushing her skin
Distracted mind, thinking of him
Should not be here, in this place
Circle glows somber green
A single misstep
Misspoken word
Tentacles
Drag her
Down
