Barren

To vanish from this impious era i 
mind less
conceivably recognised as a vain 
guest
To the toiled years i duly  reminisce
as futility proved my paramount 
best

To this world i pleaded with a wail
upon my arrival on its terrain 
To serve me right till my departure
but this it did did in miniature
 
To this world i pledged my 
prospective days
but this it shattered in various ways
To my exertion i'll personally extol
if no being cites and applauds my 
effort

To another realm
i'll get deposed unceremoniously
To what awaits me in the  
subsequent world beyond
i remain optimistic

To the fatalists i now resign
as their belief  obvioused in my 
instance
To this notion i duly adhere
perhaps my irrelevancy would be 
remedied at death

Ambushed I

The deserted pathway 
witnessed no patronage
as she wanders and stares all 
around the free cage 
tripped,halted.....
and she's  up again with quite a 
strange feeling

sinister wind aggravates her 
tension 
the dark cloud gave an evil grin 
her heart beat imitates the 
expeditious bolt
and yet the expendition could 
not be aborted 

she gradually regains 
consciousness
felt a  snappish grope
frightful and overwhelming
and there she goes.......

vulnerable and helpless
caged round by the strapping 
claws of  a male beast
the continuous thrusting of the 
phallic object
literally killed her slowly.....

lo and behold
she's been devoured
shattered and helpless
whats next?.......

an ignominy
by spilling
a suicide provoking act
by keeping mute.

The Passion

The passion 

The passion to face your fears
And not run and hide
The passion you have to be 
everything you need to be
Awake the passion once again
Life will take a hold and lift u up 
Grab the passion to succeed and 
never give up 
The passion that bleeds and 
runs to your soul 
Grab the the passion only u 
have control
Let the passion rescue you and 
Set u free 
The passion it lives inside u and 
me — feeling determined.
