He Who Devoured The Dark


Walking in the land of the dead,
there’s a song in the head
that keeps humming.
What happened to all these corpses?
Where have their souls fled?
What’s wrong with bloodshed?
How can the devil earn his daily bread?
If he silences the red?
It’s not what he’s made for
He’s not designed to savor sweetness
He’s crafted, like art
To tear apart the hearts
To become evil, in his purest way
He desires to devour the dark
He indeed has the spark
to haunt the devil himself.
He cannot be nice.
It’s against nature,
Not at all his signature
Let darkness guide him
to his destination that defined
his nomenclature.

The end is just the beginning for him.
Where the world buries their pains,
he draws pleasant gains.
He dances to the tunes
of melancholy
beyond the light
where darkness reigns
his mind, body and soul.
This is his destiny,
to take everything in
and weep within.
But remember pal,
he will orchestrate
the deadliest of kills
with his magnificent skills,
the one that you will enjoy
as you breathe your last.

Waiting for a miracle

The mirage isn’t real, the moon isn’t near, the hope, probably feeble, and life, certainly terse. A verse, has to be written to tell a story. Because this fairy tale, is getting gory. You wished for a smile, and walked through the isle, you wished for the reveries to come true. A fine friend, you expected. A flawed foe, and a marred knot, you got. While I hopefully craved for the dawn, you eclipsed into despair with a resentful scorn. Emotions began to take turns on the weighing scale. My pains versus yours, versus our trust getting frail. Giving up may not be your forte, and winning may not be mine. Deprived and devoid of love, we live together, waiting for tides to change, waiting for a sign from Above, waiting for the impossible, waiting for a miracle.

Where’s the Middle Ground?

If you are a middle-class man and married recently, there must be an incessant turmoil going on in your mind. You must be thinking, “why me?” There were times when nobody cared what you did, or said. But now, after you are married, everyone questions your decisions and actions (even inactions). You are blamed for posing a “changed” (read,  spoilt ) behaviour and it is basically not you – it's because of YOUR WIFE, who has drastically changed you as per her convenience and necessities, just because you are like clay in your thirties. Anybody can manipulate you and make you their slave, right? That’s the intention of every marriage – to enslave all of “Man” kind. The mother-sister combo tries that for a particular period with all their love. To some extent they succeed without any resistance from you. Because, you too love them back equally for everything they did to you, right from your birth till your marriage. Now that you have become their most prized possession, it is nearl...
