The Knock

Lo and behold that feeling

once more has returned

 

To tease test and torment

dead past willfully spurned

 

From window shut forever

heard unmistakable creak

 

A portent of ensuing havoc

and destruction it’ll wreak

 

Dilemmas deemed sorted

in archives since then lost

 

Will augment latent agony

with much heftier paid cost

 

An arduous uphill dr...

Beset current despondency

goads me again to express

 

Reason for disenchantment

and issues crucial  address

 

It’s not just plain strangers

but ones considered as own

 

Despite all indulged civility

apathy in return got shown

 

Kept seeking sane rationale

 searched the very core inside

 

Answers did never justify

with none to stand be...

the red regret of Thomas

the red regret of Thomas

my fingers drip crimson apologies
but now it’s far too late

I wanted to feel the red in you
to let the steaming  coils
wrap themselves around my disbelief

so when you offered your wounds
I was cautious at first
but needed to satisfy fears

apprehension turned
to blood lust
even as the sticky mess of truth
congealed upon my skin

tears dribbled down my ...

Relective Grudge

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trying to put brave guise

deep down within I burn

 

In quest of eternal bliss

notoriety I got to earn

 

None were expectations

or any of bartered trade

 

Folly proved true essence

of calling spade a spade

 

Gave in to most situation

never wished any return

 

Response stayed hostile

sans as much of  concer...

supping at the Silverback Inn

supping at the Silverback Inn

the glass stops halfway to its destination
and the sands of time are quicksand
as you survey the crowded saloon bar
in the gently creaking Silverback Inn

see him
the one with the paunch
I remember him
he was a bully
at school
a right hard case
look at him now
fat and old

the stained and sticky floorboards agree
whispering taunting mocking
all that...

Conceded Reality

 

 

 

 

 

 

Few moments desolate

often get you to think

 

How the twist of events

push you over the brink

 

Streaks of fleeting joy

abruptly come to end

 

Sans even little caution

or time to comprehend

 

Just split of a moment

it hits one ever so hard

 

Striking at susceptibility

when entirely off guard

 

Once past the insta...

Hindsight

It indeed turned a folly

telling wrong  from right

 

Each came out a winner

with me conceding fight

 

I’ve reached a juncture

doesn’t matter anymore

 

On face may seem loser

but wiser since before

 

Likely never transpired

surprising didn’t emerge

 

Accepted all dished out

veiling own latent urge

A Longing

At core of it all is yearning

to someone similar belong

 

Another there to relate to

and walk  distances along

 

Bond in sort of perpetuity

till  infinitum which extends

 

Joyous in times favorable

 supportive in nasty bends

 

Tolerant of most nuances

offering emotional bind

 

Forever whetting intellect

as stimulus for the mind

Annoyance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Confounds very purpose

 in the end what it ensues

 

Logic macabre it nurtures

plain irrationality accrues

 

Those closer tend to shun

all unknown you befriend

 

Despise meant well being

disinterest try to pretend

 

The time will pass you by

in  state sorry to repent

 

Unaware you’re of perils

uncertainties it’ll pre...
