A Plea to Lost Love

 Love, don't come to me again

False smiles eschew

Love, don't poison me again

Don't bring deaths anew

World's a wide open space

I'll walk away

Wander at will in wilderness

A hundred miles a day.



Love, don't hold me close again

Grant me respite

Love, don't burn me up again

For your delight

Life's a beauteous place

I'll drown in new hues

Come afloat once more

In emeralds and blues.

Gaslighting

 Everyday I hear them say

That didn't really happen

You got it wrong

It's all in your head

Understand, come along

You misintepret

It's pretty simple, youknow

Your life is kept in control

it helps you grow 

Expiriences you speak of

They never hurt you

You're weak, it's unsafe

Not too bright to boot

et you demand rights

Give up this useless fight

We say your on a pedastal

That should suffice

You have your roles laid out

Mother and wife

Yet you insist you'll break free

Cross that magic ine

Believing you are harmed

That thought's not worth a dime

Just take it easy

Sit back, enjoy

We're there to think your thoughts

Never despair.

Dangerous

 I hear I;m dangerous

At least you say so

I wonder what kind!

For dangers are varied

Am I the one that lurks

An ambush ready to spring

Attacking the unwary

A gorilla attack

Or one that crashes head on

Not a thought in mind

A wham and a crash

Stunning the mind

May be I'm more devious

the Janus head type

A foe garbed as friend

Oce well loved, now abhorred

Could I have a different style

Unique, you could say

So I stand by you, yet you're afraid

And I drive you away.


Asifa

 Asifa, we beseech you

Do not fade away

Make us drink our tears

Let our ears ring with your screams

May our senses imbibe your pain

Our beings tremble with your terror

Maybe, just maybe

That will rouse dead souls

Maybe, just maybe

That will penetrate stupor

So that we pick up

Blood stained stons

That bludgeoned you

To hurl them back

To make you the new Sati

To begin a new dance

Our own Tandava.

 

Asifa, it was your age

To play with dolls 

To run and skip

To imbibe the world;

They turned you into a rag doll

 Grabbed and kicked

Your blood they spilled

To fulfill filthy aims:

Your screams mingled

With their chants

O may this give birth

To voices filled with rage

Asifa, dont't fade away

Stay behind, show us the way.

Soul Ever Burning

 What Hell is this?

Why do I live here?

My soul ever burning

My limbs stone cold

What sin do you chastise?

That I loved too much

That I loved too pure

Loved without restraint

Submerged myself

In your dreams.

Flesh and blood sucked

Hollow shell you discard

Neither cremated, nor buried

Disowned, thrown to wolves.


Beware! Beware!

I am living Death

Death I have conquered

My life untouched by Time

I live on beyond your bounds

And the day you venture forth

This scepter will rise

Devouring your safe built tower.
