The forbidden act

The beauty that is your seed,
Sacred it is
As is the words of the creed
That you sing and profess.
It is innocent of life's sin,
Of adult activity,
Taboo of any a kin.

To cross that bridge,
Think of certain desires,
Is punishable by noose and stones,
It should be punishable by the laws of old.
For who dare stain the innocence that is a child,
Kill the life in them so mercilessly?
Who swears by their ancestors yet breaches the trust that is meant to protect?

It is heartbreaking,
To see a young flower flutter in its growth,
For the mind never forgets,
The betrayal follows like a shadow to the grave.

Has the world,
Dynamic in its character,
Reached a point that the forces of nature have to be defied?
A mongrel distinguishes not
Mother from daughter,
Sister or aunt
It goes about satiating its pleasures
With not a care in the world!

Life's a cycle,
There's nothing new under the sun,
And like the fate of cities of a decade once upon a time,
Might be the fate of a decade of this day and time!

Beautifully flawed

The blemish in me,
Is the beauty I see,
Deep as the sea,
For the brave to seek.
Like the rain some feel,
Like the wetness that others suffer
Such is the path it equals.
I choose to be free,
Of tainted thoughts,
The negative that has slain many a soul.

What is beautiful?
What is ugly?
The boundary of which has caused wars
Yet it's simple,
The answer to the truth.
The mind sees what it chooses to
But for one to define it
Is a crime against humanity.

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
I am the fairest of all,
The mirror tells no lie.
For the blemish in me
Is as beautiful as the stars!

I may come off as proud,
But truth be told,
We are as beautiful as we choose to be!
It's all a matter of mind perception.
Has the farmer not seen beyond the stink from a cow's dung and made energy?
How many ugly and dangerous animals pass for gourmet delicacies in restaurant buffets?

I'm beautifully flawed,
Yes I am.
From head to toe,
I'm flawed with beauty.
I care not what he sees,
For I see it all.
I need not his sight,
My mirror shows it all!

Mystery wind

It's silly really,
Trying to grasp your scope
A maze in which you have entangled yourself.
The terrors that you bring forth,
Every now and then.
I fail to understand your business,
In a world where each soul seeks the light
Where peasants and elites toil alike, for just a bit of delight.
Where then do you fit in mystery wind?
Coz I'm on the edge of sanity here.

I heard you were around and about,
Claiming blood while a beautiful woman scrubbed her delicate skin,
and while another put her fashionable attire up to catch the wind
I was crestfallen that you stooped so low
What happened to every bit of patience earth thought you possessed?
That you have to take a woman in such an unlady-like manner?

You have definitely caught up with the trends, my friend
The impatience technology brings,
is now your logo
For life has metamorphosed into an agility greater than that of a cheetah, and you don't fall behind, do you?
Though painfully disgusting,
you are impressive.
However, you should note that a little patience never killed anyone!

You pass in the air quietly,
By night and day,
You hardly discriminate.
You are the enemy I hate
For like The Everest is the height of your lovers,
Yet, I choose to remain your friend
Though I will keep you at arms length,
For I don't know how to be friends with you
I am at loss on how to hate you

Dear mystery wind,
When you decide to make known your innermost details,
Let it be soon before another age is conceived
When the time comes for you to call on us,
Confirm that we are as old as the hills
For we live in this planet only once
#YOLO

I was being me

I wanted not to be at the top,
I was just being me.
I asked not for fame and monies,
They came to me, while I lived my purpose.
I chose not this life,
I found myself in it, with a dream in my hands.

I was sculptured not to believe in success,
They told me the power was in me,
Thus in myself I believed.
I blossomed in shades brighter than any well tendered garden,
I had plenty even when there was less
I beckoned all the energies,
Past and present,
I had it all mastered,
For self development,
For a belief I would lay my own life

I believed in Him,
And He in me,
He had poured in me great goods,
I honoured Him
He blessed me
I only did His will
And to see the world praise me like a god is distateful

I don't desire to be celebrated,
I loathe the screams, the shouts,
Oh! How this overwhelms my poor soul
Can't you see people?
I was being me
Away with all the fuss!

I know not love. ....

I know not love,
Love knows not me,
Her maiden,
Desperate and meek.
What is it that I seek?
That love has chosen to forsake her maiden like this?

I'm I too empty to love,
Shaken dry by the tremors of life?
I'm I too subtle,
That the wind in which you ride hardly touches me?

I know not love,
I care not for love.
My heart has grown weary,
Of needs you choose to ignore
My heart has grown cold,
So remember to bring a burning torch,
The day you finally find me
For an icy heart sure can be difficult to thaw

Grief of a torn soul

It was then that I knew me,
Only two clocks ago,
when I was true and free,
It was then that I thought,
Of seeds and silk,
The moulding of a pot,
I was selfless again.

He was my path, can't you see?
And now that we no longer stand,
I sit on my dreams,
Looking at what could have been,
Regretting what already was,
He left with everything I had become,
Now, holding the empty shell of my past,
I see nothing but night,
I see a cliff ahead,
where I will fall to my death.

DAYDREAM ON A STROLL

Clouds are low,
my spirits are high,
walking fast,
avoiding pools of water,
muddy paths,
my feet are frozen

Blow, blow, blow
the wind's almost carrying my red scarf,
funny 'cause it's tied to my neck,
like my feelings for you are tied to my soul,
warm and tight,
holding fast,
from blowing winds

The air is foul,
from burning waste nearby,
stinging my eyes,
an insult to my nostrils,
so I long for your masculine smell,
a scent so heavenly, so lovely
a smell like home

As I walk,
I think of our own journey,
so similar to mine,
with obstacles, harsh winds
probably this is symbolic,
a call to acceptance

My heart in the past was as hollow as a dome,
your kindness filled it to the brim,
no wonder my high spirits,
my exhilaration.
You ignite my senses

Clouds are low,
am taking a stroll,
daydreaming about one I love,
one who's lips I coo over,
his sleek moustache
Oops!
gotta watch out for the dirty puddles
