Who are you, invading my mind? Your whimsical charms in my hazy sleep, Turn me mellow. You torment me with your words, The seduction passionate and romantic, The charm irresistible and baffling, I am caught in the halo of your warmth, Desperate to hold onto you… Your smile, lopsided and conspicuous, The malicious glint in your eyes, Threatening and challenging, Warning of the inherent evil, Yet, your charms are golden, That melt me in your arms and The trust in you manifold, As I precariously step into your world. The stench of the past, Revolting and tumultuous, Yet, your odor, sumptuous and inviting, I walk through the labyrinth, following you. Little do I notice, the thorns in the path, And the carcasses in the corners, My eyes only for you. You turn to me, your eyes boring into me, The smile fixed and the charm on full throttle, seeking my heart, urging me to rip it out.

It is blissful, this agony, to know, I have none to blame, but me! Trust is such an overrated expression, but, it holds no meaning when it is lost. A misplaced trust can hurt eve...

Sometimes I wonder if all that happens is a mere façade, that fades away eventually and what is left, when raw and bare would eventually be revolting. Many times, the paths crossed by the traveling strangers, leave an inexplicable impression which is borne for years to come. These impressions cast out brutal realities and impress the uncertainty of a dream, in that, they are like a trance, offering the fulfillment of lustful desires. But then, few would be like the cast iron realities that promises a lifetime of hell, yet the hold is so powerful that the certainty of doom does not wither the person’s will. That is the way of fate, perhaps! And few would turn out to be paradise, ahhh, how blissful and soulful and how very rare! But it is the deceptive facades that stay the long and turn you inside out and they tend to break the ground brutally and leave the scars, like the strike of lightning on the dear earth. And somehow, these very facades change the very you, making your act a mere ...
