THORN OF LOVE

MAMA! I’M HOLLOW AS YOUR MAN
THOUGH I NEVER TRIED TO BE THE SAME
I WANTED TO BE AN HONEST MAN
SO I REALLY HAD TO WALK AWAY

BUT SORRY MOM! I GOT STARYED
ALL I LEARNT IS HOW TO FRAY
SET THE NOOSE AND GET THE PREY
IS THE ONLY GAME I USED TO PLAY

MAMA LOOK! MY HANDS ARE RED
I HAVE GROWN A ROSE OF HATE
STARS ARE GRIM & SUN IS BLACK
MOON HAS ECLIPSED ALL MY FACE

MAMA! I’M HOLLOW AS YOUR MAN
PIERCE THE THORN OF LOVE AGAIN
BLEED ME NOW SO I COULD CHANGE
I WANNA BE YOUR SON AGAIN.

I'M STANDING IN THE POURING RAIN
TRYING TO WASH MY UGLY STAINS
DON'T WISH ME LUCK, DONT WISH ME PAIN
IT SEEMS THAT I AM NEAR THE END
SO OPEN UP YOUR ARMS AGAIN
ITS ME, IN THE GUISE OF HOLLOW MAN
SO PIERCE THE THORN OF LOVE AGAIN
BLEED ME NOW SO I COULD CHANGE
I WANNA BE YOUR SON AGAIN
PIERCE THE THORN OF LOVE AGAIN
I'LL TRY TO BE YOUR SON AGAIN
I'LL TRY TO BE YOUR SON AGAIN.

BIGOTRY

I snatched the rhymes
Of alluring muse,
I cleft the chimes
Of hymning gurus
To guard the dullness of your tunes.

I plucked the shades
Of arc that gleams,
I poisoned the taste
Of soothing streams
To paint the scenes
Of your ominous dreams.

I buried the moon
Behind wreath of fumes,
I quenched the lights to make you rule
All those nights of dread and gloom.

I scratched the face
Of a mirror you gazed
Into, that tried to reflect
Your hidden malice.

I crushed the beaut rose
That made you envious: Lo!
I ruined all your rivals
So called beauty idols.

NICE GUYS

Nice guys don’t need applause, don’t need words of appreciation.

Nice guys are just great, they save themselves from any illusive thing that seems to be glittering like gold, cuz they can't be bothered by the glitter as their eyes themselves shine like stars.

They can be deceived because of their simplicity but they can't be decreed foolish and stupid as they sometimes befool themselves in order to amuse others.

Nice guys…………………but where do they live, in heaven or in hades.
Where nice girls could find them,

In the abyss of delusions or on the lofty peaks of dreamland.

This question remains to be answered.

A STRANGE NIGHT UNDER THE SUN

We had a strange night under the sun, we borrowed gleam of the moon as our faces were darkened by our fears. We were unable to say anything just because we were astounded by the beauty of the moonlit sky at noon, so we borrowed voice of the wailing wind. We were naked by our shame, so we borrowed shamelessness from the naked tree whose branches under the influence of wind were moving in a bewitching harmony just like women moves their hands while performing khatak. We were thirsty so we borrowed the wetness of the flowing river whose surface was shining under the moonlight. In fact its surface had become a mirror in which moon’s hallowed face was sparkling like a jewel.

We stayed under the moonlit sky for long, enjoyed every bit of that night, and then night was strangled by the cruel rays of the sun. Murky rays compelled us to walk back home in the darkness. Gloom had prevailed everywhere when sun unleashed its face.

We had hoped that we would have another night like that again but since then moon neverc dared to rise at noon because it feared brutal sun rays.

CALM SEAS AND ROUGH SHORES

This new race is not so pure
Human values ain’t secured
What eugenics has ensured
Calm seas and rough shores
Calm seas and rough shores.

Price of living has now soared
Bleed your heart to soothe your soul
Only vultures could afford
Calm seas and rough shores
Calm seas and rough shores.

Heaven's slammed HIS gracious doors
Greedy hands can’t get no more
As every penny wasted for
Calm seas and rough shores
Calm seas and rough shores.

Broken bastions are restored
Hungry bellies are ignored
Ghosts abandoned fragile forts
For calm seas and rough shores
For calm seas and rough shores.

HADES

I said to HIM
Your creed has fettered me
Lord! set me free
Lord! axe my tree.

Heaven said to me
Keep sowing your bleeding seeds
Keep growing your ugly deeds
I won’t set you free
I won’t axe your tree

Charon said to me
Come! Follow me
I’ll set you free
I’ll get you ‘cross the Styx
I ain't the one who betrays
I won’t lead you astray.

But Charon lied to me
He didn’t axe my tree
He trapped me underneath
He threw me in HADES
Now what resounds in me
Scream of broken dream
I am not yet free
Still entangled in my tree.

No wine and no bread
No halo on my head
Only gloom and dread
Are disciples of my faith

LUCIFER

I’m running away from a lecherous demon
To plant the sin, who craves my semen
She wanna conceive devil’s heir
But I can’t sire, a baby Lucifer.

_______________NOCTURNAL

Is your life worth fighting for?

You bet
You loose
You brawl

You lie
To make this all

You wage
A useless war

You win
You build a wall

You run
You crawl

You rise
You shine
You fall

Is your life
Worth fighting for?

Hear! Who gives you call
Why you run for one
Who don’t miss you at all

Don’t bribe your heart
Don’t strike the chord
Mend yourself, ruin maiming art
Throw these bleeding snaps
In the healing hearth.
