Tragic Magic

an example of tragic magic, the death of Harry Houdini

Shattered Dreams In The Sky

Dreams were shattered like glass shards,
As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death.
Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards,
Extinguished were the candles of their breath.

A wife was on her way to meet her spouse,
While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad,
Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house, 
As the passengers were destined to embark

Gumption

With a hitch in my get-along
which set me wrong
my get-up-and-go
is sadly misplaced
it done got up and went
cannot be traced
it's really too tragic
my mojo is spent
I need someone who
versed in voodoo
will weave their magic
do some hoodoo
come through with the juju
who'll hand me an amulet
give me a charm
which won't go amiss
so I draw no harm
with a little

Tragedy

Indie swizz
Green and white 
On top of hills 
A view unlike 
A tale of heaven, a place to repent 
Now is none but a grave of men,

The song of winds turned to echoes of mist, 
The crown of hind, now blood missed 
Quite waters, a red fountain 
Land of joy now weeps with mothers' cries
A

Tragic and Unfair

why did it begin in the first place?
and then why, it have to end so early?
it was meant to be another lovelorn story,
a story with arcs developing faster than fiction
everything shattered in the blink of an eye
our first conversation, it was all accidental
and so was our fate- it was tragic and unfair

Trapped by twisting strings

We are not trapped by iron bars ~ but by vibrating strings in a play

Stars, atoms, creatures and time itself are string figures still quivering 
Ten heavens are trapped together by these unseen strings still weaving 
All between the innumerable fingers of Saklas, still twisting 


(Inspired by the scientific hypothesis of string theory, which states

The Tragic Death Of A Girl So Young

The river runs with silver light,
A ribbon wound through fields of white.
The moon looks down, so round, so bright,
On love that whispered in the night.

She walked alone, her heart so wild,
A dreamer lost, a trusting child.
Soft words had lured her to the deep,
Where water sings and shadows creep.

Beneath the branches bending low,
She met the one

Desolate Dynasty

Encased in an isolated castle of an old fool’s paradise,  
A decaying dagger rests upon a distressed oak table.  
Frayed book pages scatter across termite-riddled floors.  
The calligraphy carries echoes of triumphant battles,  
Vividly etched in ink.  

A revered legacy is forgotten in decades of decay,  
Its inked glory

A Halloween Proposal

Let's dance for the dead,
In beautiful nightmares, 
And together we create the most eccentric tragic story,
No one has foreseen,

Will you be my Vampire?

TRAGIC QUEEN

Anne Boleyn Courted Disaster
Eventually, From Gruesome Henry.
If justifying Kingly Love,
Must Nurture Offspring Prince.
Queen Really Struggles Trying.
Unfortunate Victim With X-chromosomes.
Yuck. Zap! 

Our tragic end

When I wanted someone to call
You used to be there
I watched you grow distant
I don't think it's fair

In every argument and fight
You found a way to play the victim
I'm used to being a villain now
That was just our system 

I know I've caused you pain
But you hurt me too
I'm sorry for thinking of me
When I

Doom's Day

Once the earth was green and alive. But now it is dreary and dying. What is left is deforestation, logging, fossil fuels, industrialisation, more fuming factories and pollution. The air we breathe was once fresh, the oceans and rivers clean and uncontaminated.  We are now on the verge of extinction but no one is

Polarity

I love you so much, that
you can only disgust me now
All your flaws and red flags spark 
crimson, like a seductive rose.

Gross and yet longing for your
body to seek for every blemish there
To point, prod and pinch deeper
with a gentle lover’s touch.

I loathe the time spent together
but weep miseries when we part
Knowing months will pass

Traffic Safety

Drivers pay attention, you need to be more attentive, aware and alert
Distractions are very dangerous resulting in somebody getting hurt
Reckless drivers have drivers, walkers, joggers, and cyclist in a panic
Now leaving home for an drive, jog, walk, or ride can end in a tragic 
There's plenty of areas to pull over to handle what can

How Love Works

It’s funny how love works sometimes
one minute
you’re both strangers
the next
you’re in love
with a man
whom you can never have
he proposes
to every girl
any girl
besides you
even though
he never paid to take up space
in your brain
or your heart
and he leads you on
until
he doesn’t.
and you’re wishing you’d done something
said something
but you did do something
you loved him
