The Duel
"Something new..
something new..!"
Cries out my heart;
A million things,
Running in my mind
But.. heart not ready,
To, pour it out
Stuck on a paper,
With a pen in my hand..
Scribbling here n there,
Not able to figure things out..
Bewildered I sit,
Gazing at The Duel,
Of my mind and heart,
Where, either not ready to quit..

Regret....
Being cheated on by you wasn't my regret
But being loyal to you was....
Moving on wasn't my regret
But being with you was.....
Trying to hate you wasn't my regret
But still loving you was....
I regret not for allowing you to shatter my dream
But for allowing you to build a one in me..
I regret not for touching your skin
But for letting you touch my soul....
I regret not for seeing an angel
But for not seeing a camouflaged demon
I regret not for being yours
But for dreaming to be with you forever...
Its a threat which I wanna let
Never in my life I wanna have a regret...
But everything said and done
I still dare to ask you a question!!
I have a regret but I can still face up myself in the mirror,
But even after winning do you dare to see yourself even in a flowing river???

Does Power hold the World together - or hold it in bondage? Knowledge is there for those who seek. So, kiddies, riddle me this:
No wrong
No right
No black or white
The truth shaped
By the victor-
He the one that be the one
That came
That saw
That conquered
For whom the World
A shining pearl
Is held in hand completely
We march, lockstep, and bow our heads-
"vaynee, veedee, veechee"
But Fools and Braves know light of day-
Say,
"WAYNEE, WEEDEE, WEEKEE"

Sordid emotions. Caught between love and trust. Bare out my organs as if they are your own. Watch as the vulchers circle the carcass of what v was. Naive to believe you. Too believe in you.
Knees to the ground. A silent prayer to an unknown god the believes in redemption through love. It's an unheard chant to the sky. Unhealthy they say and unwise. But I will. Fight the archangels and the saints and the DDevil and his tribe. I will explain the broken minds. The broken hearts. The broken child. I will plead to any God that will hear me to make you whole and make you see.
But I will not beg. I will let you rot in your defacation before I pull you up again. I will love you more as you wallow like a pig in swill. And I hope beyond hope that you are better for having left me in despair.
Eyes...
It was a last throw of dice
I knew it was all worth of tries..
Never I took your words of spice
May be you tried to break the ice
All my heart knew ; those were all lies..
Else a smile wouldn't have emerged from all my cries...
Only thing I read was......
Love love and love all in your Eyes!!!!

Detour home
From point A to B
All love becomes pain
Returning to its creation
It's root
The pain of with and without
If you follow that line
Long enough
And are of the few, lucky enough
To be oppressed by the gravity of time
You'll find that in every society
Bullets eventually become currency
And witness firsthand
The instincts of man can only be suppressed
Within A and B so long
Until we're overwhelmed by needs
To hunt and gather
To sow seeds
Of virtue and destruction
To be freed from the cages of thought
By the dirt under our nails
And smiles
Finally
That can't be bought
To right wrongs
Of love and pain
Cubicle enclosures
And real chains that disguise their weight
Lighter than the paper that enslaves
Heavier than the burden of the debt
From a deal we never made
You'll see the currency changed
And exchanged
In rapid fire
Master made slave
Older Brother
Older brother.
Do you know my name?
Has your memory lapsed
to block out the pain?
I write letters to you,
you know.
In hidden pages of notebooks
that you will never hold.
Letters you will never read.
Letter I can't send
Because I don't know
where you live,
or where you are, even.
Our father cries for you sometimes.
And you don't know that, either.
You might have guessed,
or even hoped,
but I've proof you can believe in.
My eyes have seen him,
bent with grief,
distracting himself with work
while you are somewhere
living your life
and sending us no word.
Teach me the bass,
older brother.
Let our love of music
be the no-man's land.
A place where we can talk freely
and I can hold your hand.
This year I finished high school.
There was a special dinner
for all the grads and their families
to celebrate together.
You, of course, weren't there.
I'm just your little sister;
why would you come and dine with those
you hadn't seen forever?
But your mother was there,
helping out.
I couldn't look at her.
Across from me sat 'the other woman':
my own beloved mother.
You don't write.
No phone calls either.
Except the time
you called our dad;
you'd been told to
by your teacher.
It saddens me to
think of it:
the only reason you called
was to get that
passing grade you needed,
after which,
you ignored us all.
I want you in our family.
We all do, actually.
Your mother
and your girlfriend, too,
if that is what you need.
Give me a piece
of your heart;
I've given you more than that
already.
Give me a part
in your life;
I'll welcome you into mine
easily.
Are the hedges
growing between us
a wall that keeps you safe?
Or will you deign to
cut them down
and see me, face to face?
Older brother.
Do you know my name?
