BETRAYAL

BETRAYAL

 Corrupted by sleaze

All he can think of is my niece

My friend who’s no longer a friend

Has chosen his path, can’t pretend

Warned him all his life

Yet he jumps back on the knife

Knows the ending is painful

His actions still disdainful

I know he’s my friend

Shared life’s best moments together

Sadly this is all I can take

Our friendship must break

His fault or mine

I really don’t know

All that I do is… this is it!

Far too long have I been in the back seat

Another woman between friends

This happens to be a common trend

He fell for her luminous flux

All this really, just sucks

Why does love generate so much hatred?

Why does love only come between friends?

This thing’s over, I’ve got to quit

Go to the corner and pretend to sit

I’ve stood up so many times for you

Been punched in the chest

Just to get your back

It’s just common courtesy you lack

You’ve known me so long

How could you do this?

Tell me what symptoms did I miss?

What had gone so amiss?

INFANTILE KILLER

INFANTILE KILLER

Infantile killer

Slays people in their sleep

Think of all that you’ve done

‘cause now, it’s your turn son

Don’t try to avoid sleep

You can’t even sit and weep

He’s coming for you tonight

Go ahead and switch on every light

Your behavior is your death

Hurry up and grow up

Take up your responsibility

Hurry up; he’s in your city

Do you like to be strangled?

Lie in your bed all mangled?

Let’s count some sheep

Make sure you sleep deep

Wake up! Your windows open!

A wicked tree grimaces from your window

Run and hide in your secret closet!

It is what is the closest

Swallow your scared voice

Close your frightened eyes

Be still, this the silence

Which follows the kill

Did you see that?

A shadow just passed by

It’s him, he’s here for you

Can’t see you, he has no clue

It has been hours into the night

I’m all cowered up in fright

My blood has run cold

Just as the man across’ soul

He has left me tonight

I promise, I’ll live my life right

I’ll kiss all the puppies and babies I see

Only then my future I can foresee

SOLITARY MAN

Solitary Man

Solitary old man, seventy six years old

Always has been tired and lonely

 all day long, Sits on his chair

Besides his late wife, no one has sat by his side

Had three children of his own

No one's ever called up on him

Sits rocking in his chair

Looking straight into nowhere

The neighbours walk by

Shaking their heads

They unwillingly wave their hands

Offer a fake cheerful smile

Yet he’s as lonely, as anyone gets

Time keeps slipping by, slowly at best

No garden to tend to, the weeds have the court

Shadow of ages, keeps choking his heart

Solitary old man, still sits there all day long

No one to tell, if he were dead

Yet no one checked, no one cared

His chair rocked all day, no children to play

He’s missing from his spot

Hours went by, no one cares

Days go by, still not there

He’s found his peace, rid of this disease

His children showed up, not to his grave

Just to settle matters, on who gets the house

No one would live this in this mouldy old place

It was left to die in servitude, as its lonely owner

IN SHACKLES

In shackles

Hail to the lord of the twelve tribes

Hail to the lord who forgives

My sins uncountable, unaccountable

I bow my head down to pray

Born as the savior to his people

 He went ahead and saved the world

Showed us why love is so important

Delivered us from our ways of hate

He was the one true uncorruptable man

The devil tried many times in vain

Brought back the dead from their sleep

Cured every other man alike

No prejudice was in his heart

Always preached that right from the start

Broke the shackles that withheld society

Changed the laws where they needed to be

He was tried in an unfair court

Punished severely for nothing at all

Was called mad man and spit upon

Yet anger never did trump on him

For three hours, the skies were dark

The day our lord and savior was killed

He did return after three days

To tell his disciples the word of peace

COUNTRYSIDE LOVE

Countryside Love

 Pretty as a picture

I smile  at you for a while

You trick me into kissing you

I’m happy to oblige

Tender and soft, so fragile

So fragile, yet agile

I take you in my arms

Feel your soft warmth

Let’s take our bikes out

Go along the countryside

I’ll lie in your lap, at the campsite

We’ll count the clouds, till the stars arrive

Just you & I, alone and high

Keep me alive, till we divide

Stop teasing me, you know what I want

Don’t blush; it’s the truth nothing more

Keep looking into my eyes

I’ll keep you warm all night

We’ll make love by the campfire

When the cool moon shines

Let’s tie up your dreams and worries

Keep them aside for a while

Keep staring at the moon and stars

Then get things set right

DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES

Dire Circumstances

 What would you give up?

To save someone you love?

What if what you did made no difference?

Would you still do it?

Will it give you satisfaction if any?

Don’t take too long to answer sonny.

You stick the blade in my back

Just as I turn around

How could you do this?

We were friends, two minutes ago

Did something change just now?

Or did some seed of vengeance since long grow?

I stand corrected, as you’ve directed

Man is a complex being

Our thoughts and actions never did match

Some other factor makes us act on instinct

It makes me do, things I’d never do

I can claim to be innocent, it’s just not true

Conflicting actions in everyman’s doing

Say something and do something else

What is in the heart is never disclosed

Right from the very start

What would make someone choose this?

How could anyone know this?

Dissented, disgruntled, annoyed but alive

At that moment life won’t matter

Lashing out is all they do

But when it comes to your physical presence

You run and take cover like a little Polly girl

While all around you, things start to swirl

I went down the rabbit hole, saw the mole

We drilled all night, so couldn’t run the poll

All stood in dismay, the vultures all play

We were too depressed to stay

I tried speaking to them of this situation

My words however had no stimulation

It still haunts me on some vary night

I could’ve set all things right

She had feelings I couldn’t comprehend

I was just frustrated at this dead end

What would you give up,

For someone you love?

HARVEST TIME

Harvest Time

[Dedicated to Terrence Malick]

Days of heaven

I’ve spent on earth

I’ll tell you what

You can listen from the start

I walk by fields ripe and ready

They brush against me and pull me in

I can’t help but smile at,

The Nature’s beauty bestowed upon me

There was a huge canvas tent at the centre

Where the busybody harvesters lived

Their beady eyes follow me as I walk

I reply their nods with one of my own

Feasts for the almighty are offered everyday

No sacrifice by day or night was ever made

Peaceful people lived on my land

Just here to gather the crop and disappear

There was this spring that I recall

Kids used to hide and watch

As the fair maiden took their long bath

This amused them a lot

The herdsmen let the cattle graze

They chattered on something that barely mattered

Nothing here ever went wrong

Yet they stood guard all day long

No worry never woke me from my slumber

No thieving grunt was of concern

There was harmony all day all the way

Children played, donkeys brayed, as I strolled

I lived in a mansion unlike the rest

The sun starts to rest as the night invades

I sat on the verandah and gazed

The Brilliant colours of the sunset blazed

With all work done, the land left looking bald

The workers were packing to be back the next fall

I was busy counting crop, while they dispersed

I too did the very same, on my bright blue biplane.

BABY BLUE

Baby Blue

I am just a stranger
But you could’ve known me longer
You sway to the music I play
I too am havin’ a good day

You glide across the room, closer & closer

But baby, I am just a roamer

You make me feel like, you and I belong together

You touch your lips, honey dew drips

Down your lips

All the way!

Oh lord! All the way!

But baby, I can’t stay

Let’s just call it a day

I was a happy and a naïve fool

My guitar strummed along the neighbour’s pool

I saw in awe as you took a swim

I was never the same again

You play with my heart, don’t give me a start

You smile at me, you work of art

But I’m really just a fallen bird

Your silken voice was what I heard 

Then,I fell

All the way!

Oh lord! All the way!

Babe I really can’t stay

I’ve got to go away

Go away

All the way

Far away

Please let me stay

A WARRIOR'S PLIGHT

A Warriors Plight

Long ago in the land of winter
Where the sun never shone
Lived a warrior, whose profession was to kill
It rained at night and the snow glowed bright

He leaned on his wife

She cried all night

Nine months went by and his wife died

Leaving behind her legacy crying in a rag

War lasted forever, snow everywhere

The warrior struck his spear through every other man

Blood froze in the snow and looked aglow

The village was massacred in a single fight

Oh, what a sight to behold!

Women lie listless, mishandled and mangled

His mistress met with the same plight, he cried that night

He prayed for darkness, so he could rest

Taken to the west, to slave for men

Who looked not like him

When he was freed, he ripped every heart apart

Until his own was plunged upon

He shook violently for once, then laid still forever

No tombstone was ever made

We can never know his name, just the same

His brothers of the village met with same fate

Far away, A withered leaf falls in the spring

Carried far off before being lodged

In a crevice not so large

It’ll stay there forever till it is returned to the maker’s hands

May he rest in peace

TAINTED SOUL

TAINTED SOUL


[A Man Ponders real hard And Realizes His Destiny in The End]

Rivers of scum

Pass through my town

The very sight

Reminds me of the blight

People who could care less

Pass me by all day

I could stand and shout

No one would turn about

I wish I could leave all this

This pseudo city of cities

I could be lost forever

In the forests of fairever

Will I ever find peace?

From this eternal hatred

Just some release

From this ragged disease

Is death really the answer?

Will I finally find some peace

Or will this treacherous place

Even dig up my grave?

Please let me be

You sure can see

I want to leave

Please ye olde reeve

Just forget me

I’ll never come back

You don’t have to taint my soul

Or eat me up whole

Mind over matter

How will it make any difference?

I must accept and resolve

Or I could never evolve

Prying eyes feast upon my soul

Sleaze and filth fill up the street

Thrust this pike in my heart

Run away if you’re really smart

‘cause I’ll go on a rampage

Kill you all I can find

I’ll tear you up whole

And glare at you soul

ha
