Bitter Echos

iScriblr_poem

In the crinkled chapters of my past,
I sometimes unearth my solicitude,
Tangled in the cobwebs of reflection,
I reason my perennial solitude.

Reminiscing the diabolic chapters of my yore,
In grief I trudge through my present being,
Incapable of bypassing history,
I am stuck in an unceasing cycle of self-pitying.

With severed intrepidity I subsist,
My "amour-propre" is in shambles,
Awaiting emancipation,
I wait on cadavers of all lost battles.

This sorrowfulness is beyond my fortitude,
The suffering I can take no more,
The memories of my slaughtered past mauls me,
I yearn for this turmoil to cure!

Someone Is A Snitch – In Other Words

iScriblr_heist_poem

Breaking doors, looting riches; 
they were the infamous "partners" in crime,

Notorious for evading arrests; 
many establishments did they burglarize,

For 10 years they snaked perspicaciously; 
their heists were the talk of the town;
Until one fine day, Judas was caught 
and the 2-person gang was brought down.

People wondered, deputies speculated - 
how did the tables turn around?

Did someone snitch 
or was it Matthew who two-timed!

Finding My Voice

Overlooking my presence, 
Neglecting my existence,
You bask in the glory of fake pretense.

Breaking my pride in lieu of your vanity,
Counterfeit conceitedness you present.

Screaming my lungs out, 
I plead for some significance,
But these deafening words you fail to comprehend.

Muting my every desire to be heard,
You break, you breach my self defense.

When conversations turned numb, 
My words became poetry,
In composition, my solace did I seek.

My desires take shape of varied syllables,
Writing my heart out, in verses I show my true fabric!

Savage Rapture – In Other Words

iScriblr_dancing

Swirling and twirling to the
rhythm of your savage rapture,

Painstakingly "dancing" my heart out,

I attempt to sway this distress away.

Loving you is like
an eternal psychedelic experience,

Forever in your afterglow I parch!

Petty Disguise

iScriblr_poem_sadness

I have wandered through sadness, 
lost hope and failed,
Allied with despair and befriended hate.

With dark clouds, 
gloomy skies and hopelessness to my release,
I have cried a million tears of disbelief.

Walking habitually through the boulevards of broken dreams,
I have been mislaid, 
my faith did dim.

Shambled, broken and incurably dejected,
Full of remorse, 
my life has always been misguided and defeated.

My existence has been cruel, 
I have paid the price,
The smile that you see today is just another petty disguise!
