Absolute or Nothing

This twine should be wound around nothing
This call must be left unattended.
That sliver must not chip.
Nor the paint ever peel.

If ever the page should tear.
Hand me crisps whose body, now bare.
And if ever walls do crack
Be ready to seal it back.

Because you require not pages,
Written in your honour,
Nor prayers that take hours.

For all the plays you presented
With effortless charm.
In every chapter you so staged;
I must now perform.
With all the knowledge you've vested,
And all the skill I've honed.
To put back in its place.
This perfect and unmoved,
Frozen state.

Nimble! Nimble!

You said it again!
While I sang to the rain.
Leaving your tenor on the altar
Your voice knew no strain.
But in unison,with me, they joined again,
Seraphims, resounding in glory
From Heaven's golden train.

Must it always empty so quick?
For the paint to stick on nothing,
And the calls to never pick?

But this is good.
And better will be soon.
For your vision will I still pray
That you may not stumble another day.
And thank whoever did warn,
Of pain that came unrequited,
With love.
..And it did haunt.

Silver Corrosion

It is that again,
Cinders, ashes;
And acid rain.

It corrodes,
Infects
Disrupts
And taints..
My lining of silver
Of perfect shade.

Because you see,
My eyes still glisten,
And my memory has not failed.
This puzzle's lost pieces,
Have I found today.

And this is that which is today,
No. Not my mistake.
To comprehend all that was said,
And apologize for your myopic state?

But..
Grateful am I to realize what awaits,
A better dream,
To come through,
Will i make.

I closed my eyes,
placing my faith on Him.
Silently wanting and waiting,
To heal all that, which erodes.
To pacify another uproar.

The easel, the canvas and the brush- He gave,
For fading colours to fill once more.
And with the help of His strokes,
This lining will I now paint Gold.

Cheap karma??

Mistakes I've made,
One too many,
Nothing fits now.
Margins were never a plenty.
While you hung up,
I decided to carry on.

This flair you have,
For making me believe
A knack, you see-
Very well you decieve.

Conceit and lies
Are fused to make one.
Evil, conniving..
This treason you love.

Miserably- you failed.
Never proving what you claimed,
Hiding that which remained.
But with the first down-pour,
It had only begun to rain.

Your kisses still linger,
With an aftertaste that turned sour.
As my neck bears witness ,
To marks that turn, darker by the hour.

Spare me this horror,
And wake not more terror.

Doors have I closed to all in sight.
Not a whisper, never a tear
Nor emote but fright'.

For this current in me,
I have you to blame.
For tossing and toppling,
And dragging in shame.

You never deserved
A pedestal so high.
Sacrifices and stories,
To keep were always mine.

Dirty and empty,
Your soul is dark,
Reflecting colours and natures so stark.
Bigot! Bipolar!
Nature's mistaken freak.
Begone! Beware!
What comes around was never cheap.

Resilience

Accused of being sucked into a downward spiralling vortex...and on what account, is what my mind asks?....
You are the one who looks out for me the most...but why do you almost always turn a perfectly happy moment upside down?
Why do you have this unimaginable power to pluck all that i look forward to...
Why is it always comparisons?
Keeping up with them, theirs and all that follows...
My starry eyes grow moist...
Its always your tears...but I'm the one choking on mine..
What good is this?..Who do i keep happy?
My heart or your mind?
What am i doing wrong?who is seeing me through?
I wont be guilty...
Dont make me what i'm not...
The flame will burn even brighter no matter what you say...
I will not be moved...and least of all be sucked into the vaccuum your thoughts encompass...
My decision...my heart...and yes ofcourse, my tears...
I am just beginning...
Resilient to your conditioning...
I will not break...
Release...Drenched in drops of Heaven's favour
See me now.
I am the Flame!
