Dark velvet

cruel skies snatched away
her dazzling moon from her
left her alone in darkness
and disappeared forever.

She picked up one by one
The night diamonds
Stitched them in her veil
And threw it across the sky.

The night diamonds sparkled
Played in the night wind
Sang soft songs for her
And waited with her for moon.

He came back slowly
Taking one step at a time
But she kept her tiny friends
They both simmered together.

illusions

every mother is not reflection of God
nor is every father a living saint
come down to reality my friend
or else the realities will come down.

Come down on you to crush the myths
created by souls who turned their back
faced away from reality and truth.
bewitched their own soul with own dreams.

Don’t paint them in divine colours
don’t expect too much from earthlings.
Thank God if they are close to angels
but forgive them if they act like humans.

Some of them even have a dash of evil
lurking behind that whitewashed soul
open your heart to logic, truth and proof
don’t close your reasons by fairytales.

masks

people often wear these
faces upon faces to hide
the real face, some are
harmless some are not.

One better should not
lay their fate on people
who wear masks when
they are with their owns.

People who put up masks
sometimes hide feelings
but sometimes they hide
deeper..nature or deeds.

Sometimes they hide
intention too, a wolf
hiding behind sheepskin
better beware of these.

They may not cause harm
or may crush you down
better not trust a person
who hides his eyes and face.

greed

A slithering parasite hidden in deep crevice
of our heart, feeding on our desires
keenly observing how much we yield
the more we yield stronger it gets.

If we keep on feeding it will change into
a monster from a tiny insect
instead of gnawing and pricking
it will swallow us complete.

It swallows every virtue which fights it
conscience is its first kill
then come restrain and others
man becomes its slave for ever.

Deeper it drags its victim in his pit
full of lies, cheating and disgrace
if a soul falls too deep in its pit
he can rarely come back, is devoured.

sorcerer

An evil sorcerer had a pretty daughter

and a rogue son without a soul to go

her son befriended an innocent  prince

who was in love with a distant friend.

 

A friend he has never met face to face

but had fallen for her deeply

he sought the help of his friend to help

him in winning the hand of his lady love.

 

The rogue said yes, he will help him,

he will go there himself and bring her.

He covered the dagger in velvet sheath

said noble words hiding the greed.

 

He asked him for some symbol so

he could introduce himself as his friend

and took his ring and went to the girl

and told her that he is the prince.

 

He harassed the girl so badly faking as

the prince that the girl started to hate

his very name. Finishing his job there

he went back to prince with fake dismay

 

Told him that she loves him but is an

old woman married to some one else.

Then he offered her his sister’s hand

like a gallant knight, the prince denied.

 

The sorcerer casted her spell on the

doomed lovers, slowly their love ebbed

on one hand she pretended as the prince

to the hapless girl and did the same to him.

 

They both started to believe that the other

one is vile, their love was misplaced

the prince fell for sorcerer’s daughter and

his love started to hate his very name.
