Darker than Black

Often I  canvassed the dark night,
Asking if  something was darker than black?
He consumed my flesh like a sadistic freak
I urged for payback.

Tears trickled down my cheeks,
He devoured me like a demon
And I vowed to worship him like Shiva
In my wedding sermon.

He finished his feast
When the clock struck midnight.
I washed blood from my vagina,
Angels laughed at my plight.

There was one amongst them,
Who didn't laugh.
She brought a warm cloth,
Wiped blood off my calves.
She was his sister, Asavari was her name.
She truly loved me, wanted to relieve me of the shame.

We decided to run,
Live a life of our own.
Away from this inferno
Where the grasses are green, new seeds are sown.

But little did we know
That we clocked our own demise.
For the demon was not one,
But a collective to our surprise.

We were beaten , raped
and mutilated in public.
They restored order to the society,
By breaking all bones in my pelvic.

I took my last breaths on the streets,
Lying on my back.
Finally, I found something
Darker than Black!

Failure

I am a failure and I am not too proud about it.
Was it the society or something I did?
All I know is that I made my decision in seconds,
It wrecked my life they say, beyond amends.
All I see are my parents enjoying the fruits of life.
My father with a smile on his face while my mother thrives.

Now they call me a failure because I didn't do anything.
It's all for them and not for any other being.
I want to speak out my mind making them overwhelmed,
I bury my face instead keep my emotions shelved.

Are they like Brutus for betraying me,
Or am I am like Caesar who failed to see?
It's more complicated than that, a life full of deceit
Yes, I am a failure and I am not too proud about it.

The West Wind Elegy

He felt he was the west wind
Cleansed the aura, swayed the mob
At least that's what he used to think.

One day, he met the enchantress
She was a beauty, with long eyes & scarlett fleece
Beauty of the fall , she was a temptress

Their eyes met, it was love at first sight
Drunk in love decided to share their lives
Little did they know
they were at the wake of their own demise.

For he was the west wind,
the angel of darkness,the almighty & high
And his brawny waves did shed her dye.
