Iron Garter

She picked the lipstick
Pressed her lips against its smooth
What would he say if he really knew her
Would he be able to handle the truth?
She reached for his drink
As he tucked her hair behind her ear
She smiled and put the poison in
But felt a gun at the back of her
She threw the acid and burnt the eyes
Lifted her own gun and surprise surprise!
He was dead in front of her
The hall was littered with corpses
She ran out on full alert
And straight into the masses
Where was he?
She heard his laughter in her head
There again she saw a glimpse
Aimed and shot him dead
But she heard him laugh again
And realized it was just a mirror
He was behind her
And his hand about her neck
She kicked him where he deserved it
She hit him and brought him to the ground
And as he fell at last
She threw off her gloves and fell down
Tears in her eyes
For she'd never wanted this to be
Circumstance had killed the chance
And now all that remained
Was dust and a memory

Smooth Liar Sweet Talker

She walked up to him. ‘Where have you been?’
‘Always here by your side’
He softly said and smoothly lied
And once more she let him inside
If it must be then it will
I’ll give my heart to you
As I get ready for the tears to spill
‘Lie just one more time
I’m so ready to be fooled’
It was enough if it was all he could give
She’d find her bliss in his cruel
She walked up to him. ‘Where have you been?’
‘Always here by your side’
He softly said and smoothly lied

Men

The playboy flirts and flits around
The child can't make up his mind
The easy target is mostly the one
Which a guy is most eager to find
Easy enough to intimidate
Easier still to understand
Don't trust them fully, befriend them still
Coz there's an almost grown up in every man

Be Intimidated If U Hv 2

Who I am is the way I wish to be
So drown in envy wishing you could be like me
Overwhelm yourself in the fear of facing me
If you can't realize that you are the same as me
Smarter, yes
Quicker, yes
Bolder, definitely yes
Not proud just stating a fact
I'm exactly what I wish to be
In this moment of time...

Nothing of Love

(Fire and Ravage- Fire can create and control fire and self heal by turning herself into fire. Ravage can create sounds of any frequency and sometimes to manipulate people. Here he uses resonance to break the ice surrounding fire. This was inspired by Body of lies. I was touched by how Leo DiCap is so willing to give his life in return for Aisha's. It got me wondering about a girl doing the same for the guy she loves. So here is this poem- Nothing of Love- Fire gives herself up for Ravage)

Ravage walked out into the light
Freed from the cold he’d been forced into
Fire paid the price for his freedom
Unknown to him
For she loved him more than anyone knew
Powerful in her choice
Determined in her stride
A bargain trade
She was to pay with her life
What did these people know of God anyway?
Those who knew nothing of love

Captured, blindfolded, beaten
Alone in this desert she’d chosen to be in
She smiled as they twisted her bit by bit
They could break her but not her spirit
They could ravish her stubborn beauty
But she would remain resolved
She was unaffected as one with her God
She scoffed at her captors
They knew nothing of love

She smiled as the pain became a burn
As her flesh cried out, she prayed
She laughed even as her blood spilled
She smiled as they became frustrated
As they tried harder to force her will
She pitied the whole lot
What did they know of God?
They who knew nothing of love

She became distant from her body
The chemicals which held her together
She wished she could numb the nerves
As the pain again caused her to tremor
She thought about their times together
And she found the strength to be
She smiled at the fool who prayed to his Lord
What did they know of God?
They who knew nothing of love

Flesh was weak though the spirit strong
She would be a memory before long
They had buried her in ice
So even fire could not revive her glow
She could not use her power
But she would never let go
What did they know of God?
They who knew nothing of love

The enemy smirked at the state she was in
And laughed at the revenge he would score
She nodded as the gun came to her head
‘Go ahead you coward’, she cared not anymore
She closed her eyes to the bang of the door
They had come to save her at last
The enemy could only guess at God
As he could only guess at love

Ravage broke the ice with his voice
He was yet amazed at what she had done
He gathered her like the treasure she was
And warmed her in the rays of the sun
She healed herself through fire
And Ravage hugged the woman he loved
He knew heaven in that instant
And thanked the God above
What did they know of God?
They who knew nothing of love

The Holidays

The fresh dawn of a new tomorrow
Never brought with it such sweet sorrow
As at the end of blissful days
When I say goodbye to blessed holidays
Oh Sun don't set, oh moon don't rise
Oh time stay locked
The world fades to transient illusion
I get carried in the tide of a world's persuasion
Oh hard struggle to find the door to something more
Something beyond the tyranny of custom
I shiver and quake in the aftermath of realization
There can be no other way in wretched reality
Than to stay in obsequiosness to duty
Would i still stumble or dawn on the light in will
Make duty my loyal ally and monotony a thrill
By bending reality to my control
And in doing so break off tyranny
And arise like a phoenix to the adventure of my life
In all its glorious spellbinding color
And not cower like a man about to be hanged
But take it up of my own and be the king of my land

Voice

Politics laughs at the fools of its manipulation
Makes a mockery of the laws of our constitution
Are we to be represented by a flock of hungry vultures
Preying on industry, religion, caste
Messing with our futures
Are we to blame as well for giving it up to fate?
I wish to use my limitations for the happiness of a whole
Its selfish- all I want is the peace of my own soul
I know what I want and I know how to get there
In the interim I shall do all I can
Not fall prey to my own self righteousness
Uphold equality, value diversity and be a medium
For the voices of the world

For The Love of Lucifer

'Who are you?' She trembled
As she felt his presence draw near
'I am the one who loves you
There is no need for fear.'

'I feel like I've met you before
Tell me how can that be?'
'We were meant to be together angel
From genesis to eternity.'

'Don't you remember my Father's home
My brothers and the games we played
Don't you remember the fight we had
How things could never be the same?'

'I should be angry that you left
I've taken the anger out on this world
But now I've seen you I can do naught but love you
You are the one who can save me girl'

She was transported back in time
And then she understood
The devil, he had no evil
Only a heart that broke and shook

She felt the connection surge
And all her doubts fell away
She nodded as he took her hand
'I'm ready, you may show me the way'

And the heavens opened up
To swallow them in white fleece
As her heart shook with the love she felt
The world lit up with peace

'You have my love' she said
He answered 'Darling, you've saved my life.'
As heaven erupted to thunderous applause
For the Devil had brought Home his wife.

The Bella and The Rogue

She lifted her fan to her face
And blushed her winning smile
The gentlemen rushed to her side
They formed a crowd in the aisle

Her beauty that of the fairest pearl
Her voice like merry nightingale
As she scanned the room she found
A dark handsome unmoved male

She slanted her gaze to assess
Such an anomaly and to her whim
She walked of her own accord
And asked the next dance of him

As they danced she asked his name
And it was then she discovered
This irresistible rogue
Was the friend to whom she'd promised forever

'I've never forgotten you'
She smiled as he broke down and said
' I've tried time and again
But I could never get you out of my head'

And so the song came to a close
And we shall leave these two to find
That when a bella meets a rogue
Sometimes she finds a love divine

Vampira Davies- The Lonely Truth

A million years I've waited
I've been hunted and alone
A victim of the light
A shadow of those unkown

Detested and despised
Feared by every one
A victim to my hunger
I crave the blood that runs

A million years I've tried
I've covered every ground
A single worthy man
Is a treasure that cannot be found

I live to feed and feed to live
There is nothing else
For only true love can save me
That and nothing less

Someone strong, honest and kind
Someone intelligent and open minded
Someone with a ready smile or joke
Tell me where can I find him?

Tell me and I shall grant you
Treasure and knowledge galore
For the only treasure that I now crave
Is a man to love forever more

No Need for Fear- A hymn

You don’t need eyes to see what is within you
You don’t need hands to reach what rests within
There is no need for fear when I am here with you
So hold your cross and sing along
Let the walk begin

In the storm I’ll carry you
Through the walk, I’ll be right by your side
Whatever I get you to
I’ll take you to the other side

There is no need for fear
Infinite, connected I and you
So walk ahead with lifted head
Knowing that I’m loving you

Warrior

Life is in the living
Love is in the giving
Pain is in the brain
You have to risk to gain
Each moment ablaze
With the fluidity of grace
Never let weakness
Compel you to bend
But be your own WARRIOR
Fighting till the end

Fly

Confident in purpose
Determined in stride
Pray for the strength to go on
Ignore the weakness inside
Not care about what I don’t know
Change no one but myself
Worry about only that which I can help
Don’t care if I fall down
Full freedom to cry
Its only when I’m down to earth
That I’ll have the power to fly

Hot (This and Universe are for Ravage from Fire)

I had a dream of us last night
I woke up in a sweat
My restraint is our constraint
I haven't f*kd you yet

It doesn't mean that I don't want to
Cause it's all that fills my mind
You make me so hot for you
You damn near blow my mind

I'm burning with a fire
And this time its not my fault
Did you have to be so goddam gorgeous?
You had no right at all

Distract me from this feeling
Its turning me inside out
How do you contain yourself?
All I want to do is to do it now

Be strong for us baby
While I ache and yearn
You make me so Hot for you darlin'
You make this FIRE burn ;)

Universe

He looked at her and she felt beautiful
He smiled at her and she got high
He got down on one knee and her mind spun
As he asked her 'will you dance with me?'

He held her hand and she felt infinite
He brought her close and he brought her home
Silver angels of notes guided them
He looked into her eyes and he gave her the universe to view

Ravage to Fire- Leave the past

He whispered in your ear he loves you
He whispered in your ear he cares
He whispered in your ear he loves you
And you turned around and he wasn’t there

So you held the flame and burnt the paper
You kissed the memory goodbye
But it still feels like he wants to haunt you
That he wants to stay right by your side

So kiss me now and leave me breathless
Leave the past far behind
And run into these open arms- they’re waiting
As he slips back into your mind

So you held the flame and burnt the paper
You kissed the memory goodbye
But it still feels like he wants to haunt you
That he wants to stay right by your side

It’s me who loves you,
It’s me who cries
It’s me who wonders
If you’ll ever realize…

So kiss me now and leave me breathless
Leave the past far behind
And run into these open arms- they’re waiting
As he slips back into your mind

F* I'm Twenty

I just puked in my plate
Its time i learnt to appreciate
My life's all tops turvy
So i'm irresponsible but I respond
I may want to f* the hell out of a life I'm really fond
I'm still hammering out a place for me to belong
I'm all of only twenty
There's so much to do I wish i could clone myself
Sometimes I don't know myself anymore
Sometimes I rush into the moment
To forget the bruises and the sores
One step away from misery
Fantastic is as much as you're allowing yourself to feel
Limitless is as much as I'm allowing myself to be
No comparisons, no prejudice, no past
Forgive myself, forgive others, just as fast
I'm not fighting for anything
Except my own peace of mind
Sorry if I ever caused you trouble
Call me whatever you want to
And tell me whatever you feel
I maybe weak indisciplined too stubborn for my own good
I'll keep on giving it my best again and again and again

Transience

Life
Friends
Transient fleeting ephemeral
Hold on and give it your all
Fight to spark it with passion
Be honest be strong
But know you can only do so much
Sometimes you grow
You leave behind
You move on
Don't break, for there is always something new
Some new experience
Some new acquaintace
Just waiting to come alive
Just waiting to be more
Be limitless
And leave the rest to God

Pulsatile

So alive in every beat
With the steady glow of body heat
Breaking your back to earn your bread
Milking every moment as is your right
Dreaming the impossible
Proving the myth untrue
Fighting disbelief
Showing the world the quality of you
Incongruous mayhem
Bullock meets BMW
Thronging, honking, singing, screaming
Crazy kaleidoscope
Hold on for the rollercoaster hasn't ended
In one fabulously fascinating life
That is yours
In the CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS
MUMBAI!

F*ck

(Zondra- The Queen of St. Anger)

Sometimes I F* the world
Sometimes I luv it as much as the next F*r
Sometimes it kisses my ass
And sometimes it takes me for a S*r
Sometimes i give it my all for nothin
Sometimes it gives me the big O just like dat
I luv to hate as much as i hate to need the love
That we social animals keep on waiting for
I'll just grip it by the throat
And for fun let it go
It'll come back to me yet
For I'm the only F*r it'll nvr b able 2 4gt

Spot of Red

Startling in its intensity
My opportunity to stand against
Superstition and suppression
By heeding the call of bells

A simple thread on my hand
Yet like a visible bond
The abstract had become tangible
One of friendship hope and love

But a powder yet a mark
A sign of belonging and respect
Blazing like a fire
On the foreahead that bent to receive it

Spread on the floor like sinking sand
A nightmare alive all at once
As the dream bled its final course
Reality had slashed the wrist
Of that fanciful idea

Just a spot of red
But all that it conveys
In the span of a moment several lifetimes
In the form of one face several emotions
Just a simple spot of red

Strong Now, Come On

Its so clear
I needn't disguise it
By the inadequacies of my thoughts
Its so repeated
I needn't hide behind
My failure to remember the cost
Its so true
Yet needs so much strength
To understand and not lie to myself
So let it be
As it must be
Let the dusk come
And the dawn shine anew
I will not let emotion rule
I shall let logic take over
Like a guy does
And accept what is
And not ponder over
What I know nothing about
For time is precious

The Truth

The Truth stared her in the face
They'd long ago passed the cliff
They'd long ago jumped
And she'd found she had no parachute
She found she was the only one
Mid air
No where to go
But below
Long ago she'd made her choice
And now all she was was evanescent
Gaseous, volatile, ghostly
She could never be as she was before
A change of course was futile
This was the truth

S, C & aBoR- Captain Diana Jamieson

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I got me dagger and me gun
Woe to the man who dares to come
Near this woman
I'll shoot him in the bum!

Twas a man with an ego so large
There was no place for the ship in the barge
The new age ones call him an mcp
Well he tried to get the better of me
And before he knew it he went through it
And found his ass in the deep blue sea

A love lorn fool came up and said
'If I don't have thy love, you'll find me dead'
I asked him then
'Do you want to do it yourself
Or shall i shoot you instead?'
For I have no patience
For the light in the head

And on the rival ship stood so proud a man
The captain such a lofty man
He laughed when he saw me a female captain
And laughed at my crew
At every woman- following man
I could have easily blown the ship
And that I did do immediately after
I shot his pants buttons with my gun
And they fell down to rollicking laughter

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I dare ye laddies, dare one come
For we ladies can't be outdone
Definitely not when we've got
Our bottle of rum ;-)

Skull, Crossbones And a Bottle O' Rum- Tales From the World of A Pirate

Twas a dark stormy night
On the All Hallow's eve
That Viktor Groth steered his ship
Through the black tides of sea

From whence the storm
Had laid its seige
None had a hint or clue
Tis they new for sure
They'd be dead
Till the new morn was due

Afraid to lose his ship
Unwilling to lose the loot
Viktor called on the devil
'I shall make a tryst with you'

And so he lived to tell the tale
He lived to tell many more
The Devil's messenger on this earth
Fear of anyone who dared to row

Even the sirens turned their tails
He was cold to the warmth of love
What he preyed on- human hearts
Though anything human he'd long forgot

He lived with the ghosts
They formed his crew
And anyone foolish soon realized
Anyone who messes
With Viktor's crew
Is the one who surely dies

And then the day dawned anew
When Viktor saw Gail Remington
And at once remebered all
Their love when they were young

He cried out as her ship came near
For here was the ultimate test
He had to torture and to kill
The one he'd always loved best

As she was tied and brought onboard
His heart lurched at the memory
Sweet caresses, sweeter kisses
One fateful night at sea

So he proceeded with the knife
To scar what he had always cared about
But instead he cut his chest
And pulled his own beating heart out

'Take this and be happy'
He shouted for the world to hear
As he fell to his knees, fell into the sea
And disappeared

For lo my friend and tis the truth
A man can be the devil himself
But in the end wat one would do for love
Can wake the devil himself from hell

Study

One could read a thousand word
Front to back and back again
With nothing being absorbed
With as yet an empty brain
One could spend time memorizing
Each word and each detail
And yet not have the inherent knowledge it takes
To ensure they do not fail
Why don't we take our malleable matter
This utterly dependable grey
And understand how it wants to learn
Such that we do not forget what we learn today
As important if not a whole lot more
Is how we study to how much
So be it according to the questions in the papers
Key word notes or anything else
Challenge yourself to study the best way you can
Ace your exams
And do nothing less.

Journals

That most irritating of books
So filled by the history of my mistakes
So disgcraced by the details of manipulations
So hastened by the deadlines of marks
So anxiety-wrought by the little scratches
Cancellations
As neat as i could make it
It still isn't neat enough
To be the paragon of scientific virtue
I've been busy dreaming of
Perhaps if i spent a little less time
On thinking of change and betterment
And put my thoughts into action
There'd be a cause for contentment
For though not a perfect paragon
At least then i would find
Less enough cancellations
To bring me my peace of mind

Sorry

Sorry I shouted that you didn't care
Sorry I painted you black
I had to hate you if I was to leave you
My love was the cause for that

Sorry I clung too much
Sorry I blamed you for selfishness
You were there when I needed you
And my insecurity's not a reason
To respect you as less

Sorry my darling I need you
You're my brother and my friend
And maybe you are the smarter one
For knowing this clearly even then.

Lithium

You helped me through my worst
My friend whenever I needed one
You became the shadow I could lean on
I'm addicted to you, lithium

Maybe love's the spell you've put me under
When I'm with you I'm not the same
Withdrawal symptoms when I don't have you
Keep coming back for more
Again and again

Maybe I'd lose a part of myself
Maybe I'd just go on anyway
You were my lithium and not the drug
Who I do love
But in a yet undefined way.

B*tch

(Fire on Nemesia- The B*tch)

One day it will happen

I'll scratch your heart out

Make you eat dirt

Let you drown in your tears

One day it will happen

You'll feel my verbal fist in your face

You'll sweat with emotion

You'll panic with disgrace

B*tches are one in a million

Their breed is too few

Lucky you've got one right in the mirror

Staring right back at you

Travellin in Da Rain

Splish splash splosh
Got me saying 'Oh F*k'
When my brand white jeans
Got browned up in muck

I had to discard
My umberella when
In those wily winds
It got inverted again

Just as I got to the station
To my vast amount of irritation
The moisture had taken all the friction
Landing me flat on my back portion

Just then I had had enough
So i took my cell to call my car
Only the rain had flooded phone lines
So i had to take the train to Bandra

In the train I got wet again
Due to a dripping windcheater
Shivering with the cold
My teeth began to clatter

Relief came with my station
But alas it was too soon
My eye nearly got poked out
By an umberella of maroon

The drenched seats of the bus
Forced me to finally accept
When travelling in the rains
You get and you stay very wet

Unrequited

Powerless to destroy
What i'm slowly being destroyed by
Is it enough to understand
Love is never enough to get by
Is it enough to accept the fact
These dreams will never see the light
Is respect enough
To sacrifice what i know deep inside
Is a higher love
What I was always aiming for
Or is it now going to be
My tool to help me survive?

The Ingenious Dunce

A little high, a little low

We know not where the mind does go

So lauh it off and know just once

That 1 can be a genius even having been a dunce

I Knew But Yet I Didn't

I knew all along
That's why I'm singing this song
I knew
But I didn't let myself know
That I knew

What I felt all along
Just wasn't true
You're just my friend
I don't love you

As confused as I felt
Chasing love
I went through hell
But I've had enough
I've let myself know
What I knew

All that I felt
Well it wasn't true
You're just my friend
I don't love you

So let us leave
And let us believe
Out there there is a one
Friends we are
And friend's we'll be
And that is all we'll be
For all our days under the sun

Romantic ramblings

I danced around the notion

Of a true love's potion

A spell for the devotion

Of my devoted prince

I hunted for an aeon

Drew his world with crayon

My heart strings still play on

His jilted melody

In ages of clairvoyance

I say with flamboyance

I rejoice in the buoyance

Of love's airy victory

Wind of euphoria

She blew the petals in her hand

She cared not if he loved her

All she knew was the ache inside

Rejoicing she lifted her arms to the sky

And felt herself carried up

On da wind of euphoria

Show

Does he feel the same?
Does it show
If he loves me the same
How do I know?
Thoughts race through my brain
There they go
If he feels the same, then lord
Please just lt it show

This Is The One I Love

This is the one I love

He's the one I've been dreaming of

I never quite gave us enough

But now I'm ready to fight for love

This is the one I love

And though the road might be tough

We'll be watched by the one above

Such is the case when you're in love

This is the one I love

Whom I'll never get enough of

Whom I am now going to give the shove

For I'm ready to face up to what I feel

This Love

Moving On

How do you leave behind?
That which is already a part of you
How do you move on?
When someone's reached the heart of you
In dreams, thoughts, memories
No matter how one longs to be free
How does one say goodbye?
When one longs to say 'I love you.'

Insomniac?? Maybe

Don't feel like eating
Sleep deserts me
Music befriends
Emotions arrest me
Listless, yet not quite
Thoughtless, this ain't right
In the cycles of day
This isn't the way
2 in the morn
Wat am i?
An owl
Silent night
The world is mine
But no, i'll settle for action
And leave my dreams
In the daylight when others work
Will I sleep then?
But no i must sleep
And i will
Prince Charming, Sandman,
escort me on my way
and let me not waste my day
Goodnight, Goodbye sweet world
Poetry has made a sleeper out of an insomniac girl

Tryin Again

And Damn It I'm Trying Again

If I fall once more

I'll get up again

If I break once more

There's nuthin but new beginnins

Till there is the end

And Damn It I'm Tryin Again
