Man and machine
Mixed feelings
It seems
Ambition
And lust
More power
No trust
Travel
Long valleys
Deep into
Blind alleys
to blunder!!
For us
to receive
monies
A reward
A number
And we all
surrender!!
No kith
or kins
Our values
are sins
No morality!!
Go on
And on
Unending
struggle
Presumed
Immortality!!

Deep, shallow,
who is to decide
is poetry deep
just ostentatious
mind peeps
showing off ability
to word juggle
when others struggle
Idle walk
people talk
assumed shallow
totally hollow
what if it is about wellbeing
of a loved one
finding solutions
someone’s pains
Life’s stains
crave for some
one or thing
Infatuation real shallow
Love oh so deep
Pure hunger, banal
connoisseur taste, steep
Inconsistency, hypocrisy
That is all to keep
Rest is just shallow
Sure
Dreams I see
Have your beautiful eyes
Smiling, touching me
Humble heart
praying, pleading
Last till eternity
this mesmerising
possibility
let love talk to love
why are you here
throwing million darts
to kill the dear heart
taking souls apart
smiles frozen to the core
wretched folklores
none with happy endings
every one is dead
spewing blood,
some without heads
sweet path you have led
show mesmerising possibilities
while, destruction is assured
back stabbing is ensured
poor young, don’t know
what is coming their way
they think sun is shining,
on fields of hay
gold, silver linings, all to see
then you suddenly
turn glee to bleak
every door, window
almighty creaks
excruciating screams
can now be heard
betrayed facing extinction
lovers had your word
even devil doesn’t come near
fear runs away with fear
everything is destroyed
whatever is held dear
how you change
innocent pure souls
now without dreams
only ghastly goals
nightmares for lives
wars and strife
impervious to society
consider you their deity
are you happy
my dear friend
I tried hard, there is
nothing to defend
actions annihilate
decapitate desolate
a disease without cure
still let that not distract you
enter young hearts for sure
Suffering, pain
goes through
every pore
every vein
Mind wanders
into deep dark
alleys of love
Tears of blood
screams
all around, seems
there is no end
no redemption
Blindness prevails
Eyes just see you
No one else
Nothing matters
Nothing affects
This state of
Deep deep sorrow
Longing for your
company
your one glance
when I found you
my pain worsens
my love deepens
I just can’t think
Can’t blink
Can’t touch
Dumbfounded
Saying
nothing much
Still
I want it to last
I want to feel this
Excruciating
Longing
Heart crushing
Mind numbing
Sorrow
And pain
To remain
Your beloved!
Love, lust, labour, lullabies
singing songs sung slowly
attention and affection after
bearded boy Billy Bolly
Love flowers
for their colours
sweet smell
smiling sacrifice
generous heart
how they part
with their love
when bees want
their blood
how they make
sapiens smile
feel content
healing
emotional dents
with their scent
they lend and lend
till their last petal
