Hypothermia

It is winter in my heart
Icy gales blow through my chest
Tearing me apart
Leaving me to my demons' behest

Shrouded in an opaque veil
The fog falls on my soul
It brings along whispers of a tale
Alas! It only makes my soul wail

My breaths, lost
For my lungs are coated in frost
I heave time and again
And each inhalation spikes the pain

The snow falls and blankets
My memories, it covets
Pearly white and shiny
Frozen underneath, blue me

Crux

This enslaved heart
With all of its beats unheard

Like the silence of a caged bird
With its vocals torn apart

To break that cage of solitude
Seeking riddance from this servitude

Alas! An impasse!
As the heart is the servant of a lass

And when it comes to freedom
The heart has not that wisdom

Famine

Too many words were put to paper
In your name, my only lover
I tried detox over the summer,
Yet in November, there you were

Once more a beggar,for a little love
You're what dreams are made of
Castles in clouds, I keep on building
Desperate, I keep on clinging

To that twisted something of a bond
Hoping you will someday respond
Believe in me, this is no facade
Don't take my feelings for a masquerade

The few memories I have of you
Made my dreams and sanity go askew
No false hopes, I just put those in my head
Or was every part of me being read?

More than these words I've expressed
How to tell you this, without seeming obsessed?
Do you feel the same? I guess I'll never know
Yet I'll try asking you next time we say Hello

For I am but hungry a slave
And you are my only crave

Dogma

Chasing time and again
Obsessed

Not worrying about the pain
Prey of a love confessed

Why doth the heart pine?
For that inexistent sign?

Listen, for the heart is but a swine
So shatter this meaningless shrine

And don't go breaking your heart over me
For it will be one sin too many

Wolverine

Immortal, I live on
Without any memories of my past
I seek redemption
For all those felled by my blades

This life goes by fast
As I roar through the decades
My smile is a facade
As my life, a charade

Haunted by the woman I love
Who cherishes another
My fist clenches in a glove
As my chest is torn asunder

Masked and alone I stand
Even though broken
I watch the pendulum
While cursing adamantium

My existence is a disease,
Without any vaccine
Feared by Hades,
I am Wolverine

Plagued

Born and bred
Of hate, pain and fear
I was constantly fed
Until I dropped that last tear

Feeling that disease spread
Disgust made way as fear fled
I could feel it squirm and scream
Flowing through my bloodstream

Filled with dread
I was taunted as I bled:
"I would never truly be dead
For my home is your head"

Puppeteer

Everything fades into insignificance
As she makes her appearance

Like a freshly bloomed daisy
Spring making it all better to see
Like the blossoms on a cherry tree
She has grace, majesty

She wasn't human, she was a deity
Such was her beauty
So lost was I, in my passion
That I didn't notice her deception

She was playing me
Her new toy
Still I bore the agony
For atleast I brought her joy

Until the day I broke
And I found myself in a corner
Trying to put myself together
And realised: I'm just a joke

Leech


The words are demons
Eating away at me

The phrases are weapons
Used for torturing me

They haunt, and devour
Always seeking power

Never the redeemer
Least of all the saviour

Feeding on my soul time and again
Giving me pleasure and pain

I restrain the urge but fail
As the syllables wail

For this is the needle
With which you never fiddle

An eternal riddle
My unsolvable puzzle

Ode to a Lady V

I knew not what love was
For mine was a heart behind bars

There was an unbreakable wall
With a glance every so often

And a smile every now and then
She came along and made it fall

Hers ways ever more lovelier
Compelling me to wonder

What if I got down on a knee,
Would she agree?

Ode to the Parents

So much to say
About this journey
From that day to today
You've never left me

All these years
So many laughs and tears
The love, care and affection
Made me the person I am today

You taught me the right way
Led me through the complications
Stood by me every step of the way
Until this day, here today

So today, I honour you
For all that you've been through
Only to bring me to this day
So I bow to both of you
And say "Thank you!"

Mother, father
We'll love you forever
Until our last breath,
In death, and even after

Decay

A heart alive
Undying, constantly thriving
It started feeling
You being the drive

Hope came along
It started dreaming, cherishing

It kept on wishing
Ignorant and wrong

Realisation dawned
Love dethroned and hope condoned

Such was the pain
Everything looked mundane

A heart's last beat
The cause of such deceit
A true love lost
The heart crumbled to dust

Ode to a Lady IV

Sky, lovely sky
You make my heart race you know why

Sky, cheeky sky
You're a feast for heart, soul and mind

Sky, stormy sky
If ever you do cry, my shoulder will be close by

Sky, cunning sky
I know now why your first name means "sly"

Sky, trustworthy sky
Become my lifelong companion, loyal ally

Sky, gorgeous sky
Let's have lie-ins together and let time fly

Sky, everlasting sky
Be by my side and never say goodbye

Nomad


No place to call home
For all this while
During this exile
She was left to roam

Striving to survive
Trying to stay alive
Mustering every ounce of will
In trying to resist evil

Her close ones never held out a hand
Showing just how much they cared
They only just smeared
So she had to take a stand

She weaved herself a cocoon
Closed out the world
Got labelled a loon
And inside she curled and unfurled

For so long she was left alone
Her chest now harbours a stone
In hate she is clad
As she lost the little humanity she hadq

Depravity

Living for fear
Hearing the fall of a tear

Ecstasy, exhilaration
Arousing, exciting

Lost in this affliction
Alone, cloning and conjuring

Blissful utopia of mine
Iniquity ruling the mind

Nihilism is indeed the real deal
As round and round, goes Time's Wheel

Reflux

A wind of roses blew
As I whispered a song for you
Whispering under my breath
My veins bulging with meth

Dark and deep was the abyss
When my love for you went amiss
But still I kept on singing
In hope you would hear something

But then a wind of thorns blew
One which I couldn't get through
For you, I fought on
Even broken, I held on

Even after so much and so long
I don't even know where I went wrong
Never did I stop whispering my song
Even though, maybe to you, I didn't belong...

Loathe

This is something shitty, for the people who can't let us be
So here we go, with the flow
A description of them, hopefully their requiem

There are fakes, who know nothing of the stakes
And the hypocrites, devoid of any wit
Forget not the hunks, who have souls devoid of any spunk

Hopefully soon to die, the bitches, spreading rumours
Least of all, the blabbermouths, lacking in couth
You're not worth a buck, so we don't give a fuck

You're all eyesores, bores and fucking whores
If you had any sense at all, you'd hide in a hole
Don't ask why, for your own sake just die...

Hunger

Inspiration just won't come
A lack of momentum

An unsolvable conundrum
An answer none can fathom

Ebbed has been the flow
Venom engendering rage and woe

Stuck inside for the meantime
Frustration rules prime

Neurons without spark
Not a single useful quark

This is no passion
It's more of an addiction

And the ink flows on
Describing this verbal starvation

Veiled

The mask is there
For you not to stare
Not to look into these eyes
And find nothing there
Besides the things you despise

Forget not, remember
What I did to them in Winter
The heartless massacre
Judgement I had to deliver

Pinkish tinge of snow
Frozen blood that couldn't flow
Their carcasses food for the crow

An agent of chaos
I am the reason for your loss
Your lethal enemy
The only cause for this anarchy

So love me not,
Pity the abyss in me
Kill me, set me free
Gift me death and let me rot

Ode to a Lady III

My mind wanders
And a smile lingers

As I foster
A thought of her

A memory of the last meeting
Where she was just breathtaking

The clock ticks faster
Whenever I'm around her

I enjoy living
For she's within

Like sunshine,
She makes everything look just fine

She's divinity,
My only shot at humanity

Phobia

I've got heavy eyelids
It's hard to resist, full of skids

But I don't want to fall asleep
For it is then that they slowly creep
Gathering for another of those mental orgies
Those passionate yet fearful memories

They grab at every inch of my skin
They like not being forgotten
These are not dreams, nor nightmares
These are my deepest fears

I can no longer sleep
I keep on staying awake
Afraid of the pain
There's too much at stake

Staring into that bottomless lake
I let the letters rain
The words, true and fake
The price to never dream again

This is not insomnia
This is my only phobia

Reset


There was happiness inside of me
The something that made me content
For which there was no warrant
Through this feeling, intoxicated you be

There was love inside of me
The cause of jealousy
Yet giving me glee
Through it, heaven I could see

There was sadness inside of me
The tears of melancholy
Where despair and gloom rule
Suicide was the way for the fool

There was violence inside of me
Twisted anger and uncontrollable hate
Seeking only to break free
For too long had been the wait

There is nothing inside of me
For after you left me
I tore my dried up heart 
From my chest
I made a new start 
Became a demon at your behest

Suffocate

A heart aches
As it breaks

Like a melted snowflake
Now part of the lake

A soul fades
As the void invades

Denied humanity
Inherited uncertainty

A heart broke
As a soul was choked

Nothing but a worthless dime
With your "Maybe another time..."

Lycanthropia


So began the awakening
Of something beyond your usual evil
From man to beast
Readying for another feast
Another carnal kill

This is not just vicious
The blood, bile and pus
The razor sharp claws on those monstrous paws
The blood soaked fangs within those feral jaws
All that makes it the ultimate predator
Though powerless versus silver

Triggered by the full moon
The hatching of the cocoon
Mistake it not for your usual demon
For this is beyond
Shadow of what was once human
This is a Lycan

In[f/j]ection

Is this a cold or a flu?
Never knew the difference, it's true
Same chesty cough and the migrain
The leaky nose and the blinding pain

I need a remedy, quick and easy
Coz I am getting dizzy
And this looks like a degenerating problem
There's a medical cocktail bombarding my system
From pain relievers to antibiotics
I still think I can manage without the medics

Just when I thought I was getting better
I see looming signs of an incoming fever
Time for me to get the chills
So back on the bed, under the quilt,
In order to protect this body from the wilt

Another new symptom, the constricted throat
I don't feel I'll be able to stay afloat
And along comes the throwing up
Good thing it's not me with the mop

Tell me please
What is this disease?
Have a peek, in an artery or a vein
In my thorax, my limbs and my brain
And get rid of the pain

Ode to a Lady II

I fell for you
With the first glimpse I had
My pulse went up a tad
Seeing you, delicate as morning dew

You make my heart sway
Like the wind, the hay
You blow me away
Every moment of every day

I see that face of yours
Be my eyes open or closed
Are you a hallucination?
Or simply the deity of passion?

I love your playful gaze
And your cheeky ways
Your sight soothes and relieves
And your voice deaves

I know not if I deserve this happiness
But I'll do my very best
To make you rise from the rest
This, I promise you princess

Descent

There used to be a little boy
Always in the corner, deemed coy
Nobody knew what lay beneath
He was only a sheath

The horrors he had to witness
Cause he couldn't hide
Made him hollow inside
An empty shell with an abscess

A sinful being that kept him awake at night
The pulsing wrath, hate and spite
Squirming and screaming to be let out
Trying to make him give in, blackout

One day he could no longer take it
He had reached his limit
He gave in to the wicked voice within
Spread onto his face was an evil grin

He was no longer just a vessel
For he was now One
With the vile creature from Hell
The familiar voice from inside
The Unholy Guide
