Dark Creatures

Monsters but not monsters, 
Who was to blame? 
For transforming such pure souls, 
As if their lives were a game. 

They taunt and they mock you, 
Bitter laughter echoes in my ears, 
Torture your very heart and soul, 
Till it brings you to tears. 

They won't stop till they make you believe, 
That you are worth nothing, that theres nothing you'll ever achieve. 

Body, soul and mind, 
Wounded and bleeding, 
They grin widely in glee, 
As they notice your shallow breathing. 

Spirits feed on anger, 
Some maybe yearn for a body, 
Other creatures on blood, 
But none stick around for such folly. 

None in our imaginations, 
Could be that cruel, 
The love of seeing others suffer, 
Is not unlike their golden rule. 

Pride, envy and hatred, 
Posses these dark creatures, 
That hurt their own kind everyday, 
Then think themselves winners. 

Such dark creatures, 
Exist in this world, 
Just look in a mirror, 
And watch as the truth unfurls.

Unnecessary

My memories are like pages, 
Torn, old and crumbling, 
With stains and smudges from the past, 
Some torn out and missing. 

Part of a forgotten book, 
Tossed in a corner to fade away, 
Most of its leaves unwanted, 
Ripped out and thrown away. 

Its words disappear each time the page is turned, 
Its spine unravels just a bit more, 
Becoming more fragile each time when relived, 
Dissolving into dust, leaving my heart sore. 

Fingerprints of people long gone, 
Lay imprinted, embossed and engraved, 
Both irremovable and unforgettable, 
The bitter memories they made. 

When i die, this book shall burn with my soul, 
Yet some of my pages may survive in another, 
Perhaps edited, even replaced, 
Or maybe i just wasn't worth the tedious bother.

Last Words

Love me now,
But don't say forever,
Love me now,
While we're still together.

Life's not fair,
As you slip away,
It's far too much for me,
Yet, you just can't stay.

Believe me, love,
I'll love you even after death,
You'll never be forgotten,
Not even after my last breath.

You're so beautiful,
Why can't you see,
With or without hair,
You're everything to me.

Sunken eyes,
Still glow with love,
Reserved only for me,
Adored by angels above.

A beautiful soul,
Yet so brave, so strong,
I'll do whatever I can,
So you won't have to face this alone.

So go to sleep dear,
I'll be here till the end,
Don't be afraid,
Because I'll take your hand.

My last promise to you,
I vow i shall keep,
Till cancer ceases to exist,
I swear I shan't weep.

Don't cry for me,
Before and after,
Promise me with,
Your smiles and laughter.

So I'll love you now,
But won't say forever,
I'll love you now,
While we're still together... 

Cheat

Love him not for he has sinned,
So throw his heart into a bin,
And never love a soul that has sinned.

Sacrifice is what a man shall give,
Together forever as long as he shall live,
Until the day he can no longer give.

But if he giveth to another,
Then me maketh the biggest blunder,
For he should not have loved another.

The greatest sorrow belongs to the wife,
Who wasted away her entire life,
To a cheater did she become a wife.

A word of regret is never enough,
To sail smoothly through a patch so rough,
In truth her love was never enough.

So by and by her beauty did fade,
But his lust remained ever the same,
Tarts on the street were often paid,
After his death, all he left her was his name... 

Goodbye Daddy

Why did you go away,
I thought you said that you would stay.

Why did you want to leave?
Didn't you say that you once loved me?

I doubt you meant what you said before,
Because i saw you walking out that door.

I know you weren't ever coming back,
Because the night before, i saw you pack.

That night big brother had held my hand,
And told me to go to my dreamland.

But once in bed, I heard mommy cry,
Then I counted the hours that were passing by.

I couldn't sleep and got up early,
Big brother was awake too because he was worried.

Thats when we saw you for the very last time,
Tip-toeing out the door, as if you were a thief in the night.

"Goodbye Daddy," I at last said,
"Don't come back. To me, you're dead."

He just stood there, unable to speak,
But he himself had severed our family link.

Then big brother nudged then shoved me away,
He kept smiling at me the entire day.

"THATS my little sister! Tough as nails!"
But after he said that, I cried buckets and pails...

The Exam

Its the end of the year and the exams have come,
The papers that show us who's dumber than dumb.

2 hours of thinking: What the hell should I write?!
With 30 minutes left, your mind starts to take flight.

Pin drop silence and nap time to spare,
You surrender your pencil with the thought : Who cares?!

You lay down your head, then close your eyes,
When you wake up, only 5 minutes have gone by.

With the remaining time, you reopen your paper,
And screw whats left and hope that you still wouldn't care, later.

You look around and you see people knocked out for good,
Sleep so soundly on a table made of cheap nasty wood.

When the teacher starts collecting, all hell breaks loose,
People start discussing while you're busy tying a noose.

Day after day, this happens again,
Stretching on for a month and wondering when will it end?!!!

The Masquerade

Shall we dance our lives away, upon the moonlit floor?
Swept along by falling feathers and abandoned masks,
This beseeching music that cradles thine ears, do you not adore?
Within this world of dazzling color we shall dance,
Never ending, ever twirling, ever wanting more,
With each sweep of silken linen, beautiful designs do collide,
That hide scowls from smiles, truth from lies and ladies from whores,
Come let us enjoy this fragile world with its perfumed clouds,
And roses of every color, its choir of carefree laughter,
Ladies and lords, peasants and scullery maids, all hidden under,
Lace and ribbons, beads and feathers galore,
For that delicate time, there was no discrimination of classes at all,
But when the masks fall off, its off again to war,
Gone were the velvet curtains, the dresses, the gloves,
Away was the music and delectable food,
Women and men alike break their hearts for their forbidden loves,
As they could not see them anymore.
