Fallen

The eternal evanescence of the soul
Coupled with my corporeal ascent;
This life, the farce;
With the false poet, the protagonist.

The heart yearns for love, yet
the unscrupulous brain churns out ruthless ambitions
The idealistic psyche and the machiavillian mind
Wage a constant crusade for control of the being

The ronin searches for his cause
Amidst the wasteland;
Unaware that each step he takes
Serves to veer him further from the path of honour and glory.

Wasted:

Bruised ego

Tattered pride

Broken hopes

Futile dreams

Scarred memories

Faithless love

Empty bottles

Cigarette stubs

A cocked revolver

Awaits the russian roulette.

Unrequitted

The cloud, touched by the moonlight to his core
Longs for her
Blissfully unaware
That his quest for her is to remain unfulfilled
Forever.

Lost & Love

Earth
Ravished, scorched
To dust
By the merciless gaze
Of the summer sun
But now, relief has arrived
In the form of rains
Soon flowers would bloom

Rise again!

The darkest night ever,
When all seemed lost
The Knight sank to his knees
Broken, shattered;
The hour of despair;
When suddenly
The clouds somewhat parted
And the moon shone across his face
Touched his heart
And he, uttered a soft prayer
Stood up, unsheathed his sword
For the battle to redemption

Heroes

They soaked the ground with their blood
So that others may live
May reap their blood-soaked harvest.
Patriots
Heroes of the nation;
While the nation basks in their glory
In a corner
A famished orphan and a sick widow
Shed tears
Silently.

Introspection

I stood before myself
naked;
in nervous anxiety
Waiting for my judgement.

My eyes combed every inch of my body
Thoroughly,carefully
That's routine-
To make sure I hid nothing.

Then started the interrogation
Merciless;
Attempting to crush me
But I held on:

And thus was pronounced the verdict,by me;
Unto myself;
Accompanied by a warning;
I was an innocent man again.
