Schism

Eva and Ava confront their choices and motives. Their inner conflict remains, and they seek unity and self-understanding. Can the story be rewritten?

You wrenched fool, Eva screams out loud,
Who longed for love, a home, a life.
Believed self worth was what you'd found Ava?
Was it ice cold pride that pushed him away?
Watch him build a life, a future, you Idiot.

Ava rages back, with a furious tone,
Yelling, Love you wished to be carved?
Or a cage built to trap yourself?
You feared to be alone, dummkopf!

You were selfish, denying, sobbing,
You let your fears haunt you, 
You walked away from the love so true
No see, How empty are you? Loser!

I am not empty, Ava retorts
Don't you see? I needed a space
Owning myself was all I wished for
Not to trade my soul for playing the lamb.

Their voices clashed, blaming each other,
Every word bruised, each phrase a whip, 
The grief within them, flowed across, 
Neither of them, could ease their pain.

Two selves at war, to know thyself
Their unity questioned them stabbing,
Which one was false? which one the Queen?
They found no answers, though tried.

Their unified voice whispered pleading
Can i rewrite this story?
Make myself whole without this cruel divide?

Delusional

A tale of forbidden love unfolds as two worlds collide, defying age and hierarchy. Blissful moments give way to heartbreak as reality shatters their delusions, leaving her in silent agony.


Stolen grace, maroon tucked tight, he strides across the way
She in green floral salwar, smiling at his weirdness
 Their worlds collided, hiding the mysteries of the future.
Forbidden love bloomed, ignoring the whispers of disapproval.
Flourishing against all the odds of age and hierarchy.

Blissful moments and stolen kisses made them flutter. 
Joyous and bright days pass, leaving her delusional. 
Though decent, anxieties often clouded his judgement,
Layers of an unfathomable future are revealed gradually.

Yet she dwelled in her fantasy, holding the rope of hope.
Every actionless clues, a sliver of light peeked through her dark.
Cold heart, turning down every men who dare to show,
Hoping that he would return from the night.

Waited in vain, her body wrapped in chains 
That dug into her skin, bleeding and crying.
Rumors were being spread that would tear her apart.
Heard his owe, blinded eyes of her's refusal to heed

Clinging onto the bits and pieces of her broken fallacy 
Webbed a cocoons around her, failing to grasp the truth. 
Until fate struck like thunder, smashing a heavy blow 
Exploded her bubble of delusion, drenching her in pain. 

The heaviness of her false, choked her in every breath.
For seeing a picture, stark, clear, and colorful 
The man, his bride, smiling radiantly and true 
Reality creeps in, splintering her fragile sphere.

Critiques pierced her as a dagger, severe
Why did you cling to this path of despair?
To live in delusion, devoid of care?
Her silence spoke volumes and volumes. 
A diegesis of agony too deep for words. 

Looking at his bride's innocence, 
She walks away, leaving the amour and the soul, .
Each step being a burden, heart that holds so tight,
Knowing that love can exist, even left behind!

A thing!

A white buddha statue — Photo by Mattia Faloretti on Unsplash

Bounded between the four walls of a pitch-dark
room;

She lies, staring at a painting on the wall.

The warm breeze soothed her body yet,

Her mind still wandered around the totality.

Rummaged through her memories in search of the same;

For that thing that would put her at peace;

To her tuck into delectable food than before;

And to put her into a sound and soulful sleep.

Thought it to be delusional, having failed,

Moved her eyes off Buddha and sighed,

Swirling back into her chaotic world!

Bewilderment

A girl struggles with unrequited love, longing for someone who doesn’t see her true value or love.

In a dark room, a tempting girl snuggles downs;

Being smashed with the oceans of thoughts;

As it was unendurable to choke back the tears;

He shrugged carelessly and denied her with a smile;

For prettier girl presented her love;

The person whom she idolized forgetting herself;

Struggling to give up his soul from the darkroom;

The place where her soul beats and pumps;

Never realized that she has been loved by her alley;

For she was the honey of his blooming flowers;

Being in a dilemma to suit her with a wooer;

She sleeps restlessly with a dismal smile!!!

Living Doll

The bride, adorned in stunning attire, captivated all with her elegance. Guests were awestruck as she walked down the aisle.

There she was, at the entry with her bridesmaids,

She was dressed up to the nines.

Little stones on her, sparkled her glory and lit the room, 

Everything seemed flawless and perfect.

The crowd looked perpetual and wondered if it was a doll.

As her lashes waved, dazzling eyes moved,

A sight to behold for the gathering,

Failing to think of other phrases, idioms, or expressions

That would define her precisely,

Stood speechless and had his head in the clouds,

Oblivious to her own majesty,

She walked down the aisle with grace and elegance.

Sayonara

She faced him with determination, but his words and souvenirs left her suffocated and skeptical, shattering her dreams.

Finally, the day has arrived that she never wanted,

Crammed with valor, pushed herself to face him,

As she might fall again for those dazzling eyes,

Picked up her present with heaviness in her heart,

An Ocean of thoughts baffled her in pain,

Made up her mind to inscribe her epilogue,

Stood still, scatterbrained, struggling to retrieve herself,

As he was irresistible with his jammies,

Afore she could gaze at him completely, he sets the seal on his words,

Having heard none, bestowed a collection of his souvenirs,

Took her way out, as she ne’er cried out for shambles,

Indubitable words to be left out in the cold,

Suffocated, choked up against her agony of mind,

His throbbing pulse heaved a sigh of relief,

As it blew away her skeptical beliefs,

Skedaddled with Sayonara, plundering his chimerical dreams.!

Merman

A woman struggled with loneliness in an unfamiliar place until a caring man helped her heal and embrace life’s beauty.

In the world of unknown traditions and lifestyles,

Fear of being left alone haunted her, as conformist she was.!

Before she could settle herself in that strange land

uncertainty devastated her within the walls of loneliness,

Shielded her from the eyes of opposite like a turtle,

although she couldn’t endure another parting,

As zephyr, he entered in terms of amity,

where he was undogmatic and receptive.!

His love and care kept healing her bruise.!

Stunning eyes crouched, swayed her thoughts not to fall but in vain

Unconsciously, he swept her off her feet.!

Beats of his heart just felt on the palm of her hands,

As cold winds blew, he held her tight around his arms,

Sphere failed to revolve when his lips were on hers,

Comprehended her to breakthrough through her own dividing line

And taught her to admire even the teensy-weensy things

Her picture of right winger women was smashed down to earth

While he illuminated her beauty and soul through colors

Afore she could rise to ecstatic, Left her with no traces behind like a merman

Without anticipating her destiny, fluttered her wings too high.!
