The Sheep lioness

Her skin, covered by laces of wooled up lies
seems perfect at day, but turns frail at night
her eyes, confused by her nature are reddish black
red for her spirit, black for her heart
she hides behind her spells, her words
that enchant false reflections to those that might see her true nature
her heart black as the widow's shadow, is red to her lovers, her friends
so that her spirit becomes like her heart,
red to symbolise her boldness
to confuse them to see what seems to be her
she whispers poisonous hatred masked to be love
i know she hates me,she hates me for not falling for her trap
a pit full of her victims convinced to be her priceless gifts
if i laugh, she laughs louder
if i dream, she dreams more bolder
her intentions? to make me sink in her delusioned eyes
i cant, i wont. i cannot live in false perceptions of her world
she likes the sun, it turns her into a humble sheep
but the moon's glowing light makes her become a hungry lioness
willing to eat its young for its satisfaction
what is she? only she knows.
i named her the sheep lioness because of her conflicting masks
i watch her words as they take endless shapes to trap her victims
her true self is known by the night
thats why her lovers, her most regarded friends live in the sun
while i walk on the moon

my first love poem

This is a poem i wrote two years back, when i just couldn't understand what happens to be 'love', what it feels like without the motion of what it should feel like, for myself and for everyone around me. Because in the eyes(and mostly hearts) of many, it just translated pain, misery, tears, broken-bitter hearts, basically it was all misery. And i just wrote on it. What i thought 'love' was at that time :)

I don't understand your reasoning
The way you cocoon your thoughts 
When i try to reach them
The way you inflict so much pain in your already shattered heart
All i want is to share your pain
Help you breathe when your lungs are heavy with dry air
I want to wash the blood stained on your back
Collect your tears with my bare hands
All i want is to be there for you
But you still push me aside
Where i dream of what you are
Never seeing your face
You push me aside 
Where you are never a reality

the infamous word

There's always that piece of writing where you pour your heart out on paper and it seems as if every word needs to make sense. You read it, gasp, a slight sigh, then you read it over and over again, hoping the words feel right and actually MAKE SENSE! hahaha.. i've been such a critic of my writings that it became a reflex. But this constrained my writing space, locked my words and moulded them to structured and fixed words, without a touch of emotion. It blocked all other 'non-sensible' words which would've made the paper smile a bit, without it being just a paper with words that had no freedom within them. Thats when it just clicked, "nothing has to make sense". Its all but a process of using words to paint pictures, or to colour paper and maybe translate emotions closely linked to words. My words grew wings, i nurtured those little fragile, insecure wings with liberated words, writing every word without its structure that i thought it should have. A beautiful beginning of what now i hold dear to my heart. I freed my words and in the process myself. The cage broke. Now it is just them and the air without direction. They shall lead themselves into marvelous writings, poems, songs, whispers.... everything :)
