Black and White

Life is black and sometimes white

Is what I’ve known in weak and might

But then at the end I saw the light

That life is not always black and white

Life is not always black and white

And not every man realizes its plight

At first one might think he’s right

In the end he’ll realize he’s all but right

And here I am helpless but still alive

Striving to find those thoughts I once declined

To find those colors that never aligned

To grasp the world in its clear mind

I remember the days before, the days I used to slay

Heartless killer they called me, for behind me the dead lay

Oh! How I strived to keep my murderous dreams at bay

But as if a frenzy, I only see the sword in my hand play

I’m an artist; art I create on my foe with red

Am I not gifted? For I stand while they lie smothered in red

I’m a musician; my music is where my sword is met

This is my symphony, for my enemy that l brought death

The silky night dawns for us to breathe again

Fear subdued the caged as their eyes led pain

Slowly they rose, with hate running through their veins

May be not today they prey, though they know in vain

Its pity how these creatures struggle for a single night

Kicking, punching and cursing hoping that it might,

Hoping that it might save them from beast, perhaps tonight

As with every creature it’ll be a long night of taming, tonight

It’s the sweet fragrance, the scarlet color that I craved

Not glory nor riches, like others have me enslaved

Even if the Greeks fell and the Trojans are to be saved

I’d still be slaughtering all that’ll stand for earth to be paved

But Troy fell on one moonless night and Greeks stormed in

And I killed and I slew all I can, not knowing what it might win

An arrow was aimed and sang to me, as my armor took it in

As it sang its final “tidings from Hedes for you I bring”

I heard a silent sigh beside me, as I turned around

To find a man who I thought I killed without any doubt

He was a priest and what he said left me astound

For I finally understood all that had me bound

“I am man of god; devoted to all good that man can see

And you as I heard as merciless as a man can ever be

If I am to be pure as white, dark as black you should be

If white and black are only, how dead can we be? “

“Son life is not always black and white

There are many hidden beyond our sight”

And he fell with those words from his plight

I will soon follow, for now I finally see the light

Counseling with a Prostitute | Thoughts that left behind

What’s wrong? She asks me

A question I’ve been wondering myself

If Only she knew, If only I could tell

But it doesn’t matter, not anymore

She looks so baffled, staring in to my eyes

As if trying to read me, yet failing so far

What’s wrong again she asks, you can tell me

And maybe I will, I told myself

Have you ever thought about dying?

No she replied, why should I?

Simple enough, I thought, for a simple being

Thought is futile, where lust dwells

But it’s not easy being this, this self she confessed

It is easier to collapse and no one might know

I moan when I’m not, and scream when I’m not

May be death is not that bad as everyone claims

It’s surprising how people never cease,

Never cease to amaze me, I thought

As a smile dawned upon me, may be

Just may be thoughts still dwell in her

You must be so lonely, to pay for audience

Are the questions it, or is there more?

And she stalled in to drops of awkward

Inviting me with her longing eyes

With that we plunged in to an ocean of pleasure

Our naked bodies grooving to sounds we make

Sweat is just another coincidence that unite us

As her screams of silence left my heart

I was pulling my pants up, when she asked

So what’s your story? You never told me

It’s not likely it’ll ever leave her, I thought

May be, just may be only this time

Life is filled with turns and twist you don’t see

And sometimes you see the end, right through a turn

May be, just maybe it’s not what you expect, to face alone

Here’s the money, and with that I left

Counseling with a prostitute

Another glass of margarita, no may be a tequila

To get through the night and its vile beasts

They walk in, they walk out; but not me

No; not tonight, not till dawn

Here comes another, it’s been a hectic ride so far

Can I keep on? I have to,

It’s not as if I have an option otherwise

Each has their own part to play

This one seems to stand out from the rest

With his weary eyes and forgotten gaze

They say that a man’s eyes talk better than his mouth

So far they have told me nothing but the truth

And I laid down inviting him in, inside

But he seemed confused as he sat beside me

He was questioning himself, reaching for the stars

It was another that he was seeking; not what I had to offer

This was not what I expected, the watery eyes

Usually they are filled red with lust

But in him I see otherwise, something unlike

Something I’ve never seen,

throughout all these lonely nights

He looked ragged in his shabby clothes

And worn out with his passive presence

Something about him made me sad

His mere sight reassured my feelings

I tried to comfort him, as I laid my hand on his back

He looked alarmed, yet he accepted it

He pierced in to the depths I hide deep inside

When I asked him “what’s wrong?”

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time I was a prince

Wandering along the fairy tales

A quest to find the one, my true love

The quest was thorny; though I did all but to fail

All in vain for I didn’t find you my love

Snow white, you are paler than the snow

We started dating and then began the show

I was head over heels in love with you, thought you were the one

But later only I realized that this is just the chapter one

You were my first love, but with a dwarf you ran away

I used to wonder almost all the time, how did that make way?

I was bitter, but I had to move on

My love; she was still out there, so I moved on

Cinderella next you were

The night we danced is still a blur

Oh! How I loved that night with you

Pity! It’s the only one with you

Why, oh! Why did you leave the glass shoe?

My butler found and sold that shoe

Guards they say, they never saw you

And all seem to ruin,

Ruin the chance I had with you

So next as I sat on to find you, beauty as they told

You were no one to compare with , behold

So true their words, for all I left was with wordless

Hideous, your face was all I remembered

As I dashed away leaving you clueless

Mermaid you be the one for me I thought, I hoped

Lying naked with men encircled was the one I sought

50 bucks per hour they said she charged

After all that men? I’d rather eat a thosai and fart

And so I left, convinced that you’ll be the last

The one who sleeps beneath the woods so vast

I pierced through the woods, making my way through

Thinking of all I’d do once I get to you

I slayed the dragon, killed all who stood in my way

To reach your chamber, so elegant as the legends say

And there you slept, touched by no one

Waiting for a kiss, a kiss from someone

Fear not my love, for I am here; the one you’ll marry

Together we’ll raise kids, that one day will make us happy

To make her forget of her worries, I kissed

As I did I found out that I’m kissing a dead body

My New Constitution

I thought, I thought a lot

I thought of a new constitution

Something new for me

It’s quite simple once you get to know

A vision so revolting no one can say no

It’s for the heartbroken and fools

Who thought that girls could guide them through

Know this is not for the faint hearted

For it breaks many hearts after it gets started

It consists of just four rules

Which makes it so fool proof

First, make it nothing but sex

Or else you’ll be left with a hole in the heart

Second, never mess with your friends ex

It always ends with you torn apart

Third, be swift with the start and in the end

And be long gone before she even has a clue

Never mind the start but be slow in the end

You’ll have a girl sticking to you just like glue

Yes it’s awesome I know

So awesome no one can say no

Follow it and you’ll never be sorry

Coz you’ll never have anything to worry

Oh! The forth I almost forgot

Most important of all I got

Make love, but always with a glove

Or start changing the diapers from now

Aphrodite |The sonnet of Love

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

Be it forever, infinite shalt not stand in my way

Though hate were to roam in its rightful place

Ti`s love that burn my heart in vein

I’ve trodden by far and beyond one’s strength

Yonder thy heart perished mine with no breath

What paints the nights, ever I have pondered

Beneath thy beauty I found my answer

Love’s first love, thine own self be

For thee bring forth the Eden’s eve

Let the gods curse, their wrath let it fall on me

For I’ve held thy hand, destined with beauty

Poets shalt linger in thine eyes so deep

Lost in thy gaze, a poetry that seep

Words of thy art better left unsaid

Thou art more than words that ever laid

Thee be my worship, my solitude hymn

Thee be my love

The love that maketh the cupid’s lines

Poet in love

Shall I compare thee to the moon?

Serene as an infant

Mild as the dew that falls from leaves

But no; for even moon veils herself

Behind the shadows

Shamed by the radiance,

Radiance of the

Enigma that surrounds you

Let it fascinate me

Let the gods be intoxicated

Let the misery befall upon them

For they are no mortals

To be beside you

May the angels envy

The beauty that conspire thee

May the angels conceal themselves

Before you; May they crave

Crave the grandeur you possess

Unreachable you are

But I still hope

Untouchable you are

But I still wish

For I am but a firefly

A firefly in love with the light

Flames of a candle

Knowing it shall be the end

But to get closer I must

For you are the lines

Lines of my unfinished poem

Poet I am; Poem you shall be mine

Poet I am; A Poet In Love

Loner | The Outcast of Love

I dream

A dream with you and me

Dancing amongst the stars

A dream, we are flying

Beside the clouds

Free as the birds

You’re not mine

And never be mine

But I still dream

Friend I am

But a lover to you

Everything you are

But a friend to me

You, a queen beautifully divine

Let it blind me, your beauty

Let it leave me senseless, bewildered

For you it is you I long

For it is you I wait

But never the day

Come along you feel

Feel how I feel for you

Know you hear them a million times

From him; never from me

I love you

But you’ll never know

It hurts me

To see you being with him

Know you’re his though

My heart does not

Is this betrayal

Or is it just love?

Confine me

For I not know this

Guilt surrounds me

For this is forbidden

If not with you

Am I to walk alone?

Outcast of love; loner

Alone I shall walk

Love | The unseen side

Is love and greed are different? Or are those the same just in different forms? Does true love exist? Humans made it their mission to seek answers for these questions from the beginning of time and are still continuing in vain. Below are my views, my thoughts on this matter.

Once there was a man, who was blinded by the love he had towards his gem collection. There was nothing in the world that was dearer to him than his gems. All he cared about was his gems and his sole purpose of living remained in those gems. He would fight with his life to protect those gems and would die of grief if the stones were ever to be stolen, because then his only purpose of life will cease to exist.

If we are to compare this greedy man with true lovers who are nothing new to the romantic movies and books, one can say that the both parties posses similar properties. As the gems to the greedy person, the true lover has nothing dearer to him other than his/her partner. All he cares about is his/her partner and he/she is the sole purpose of the lover’s life. He/she would also give his life for his/her partner in a similar way the greedy person would give his life to save the gems. Without the partner, the true lover will also die or live as a zombie just as the greedy person who lost his gems. Considering these arguments, one can claim that love is but another form of greed.

If one, inspects the tale of Romeo and Juliet (the most critically acclaimed romance of all time – or so it is told -) carefully he can see that there is nothing but just an idiotic duo – Romeo n Juliet – taking their lives in the name of love. Romeo killed himself thinking that Juliet had died but when Juliet arose from her so-called death, she finds Romeo dead and she too kills herself. None of them thought that their partner would have desired to see the other to live not die. But the truth is that neither wanted to live while the other died. Neither of them wanted have the burden of losing the other. They only wanted to spare themselves of the suffering and the pain that was left by the other. Since it is easier to avoid the pain and the suffering as it is rather than facing them strongly, they took the easy way out. However, in the process of making that decision, they never thought about the suffering they would bring upon their parents and all their loved ones. They never thought about the consequences of their actions, but thought of themselves only. The story to me only narrates a tale of a cowardly, selfish and utterly ignorant duo (which is most likely the same case with the other romances) who makes all the wrong choices that one could make.

During my short span of life this is what I have understood, we pursuit momentary pleasure obsessed by greed, lying and trying to convince ourselves that it is love. This is my perception of love.
