The Golden Kid.

You came into this world,
spreading smiles all over.
Your infant tenderness, 
made everyone melt with happiness.

***

A curious lad, 
you grew up fast. 
To learn the secrets,
Moon revolves round the earth,
and the Earth revolves round the sun.
Exploring this vast ocean of knowledge,
drip by drip,
Oh back then,
it was such fun!

***

You became their golden kid,
a diamond bead,
for their ornament of pride.
They loved you a lot.
After all, you were their best shot!

***

But, things change pretty quickly,
Unfortunately.
You committed mistakes and failed.
Shattered confidence, defeated aspiration.
You lost your motivation,
to the perils of procrastination 

***

The fear of losing again, 
made you hide away someplace far.
The one who had never lost a battle,
was now gradually losing the war!


  ***


Labelled a disappointment,
by this sycophantic society.
Broken from within,
the burden of expectations,
they took you down.
A laughing stock,
they treated you like a clown.
You cry and yelp, 
screaming for help,
 as you drown.

***

You were always the golden kid.
Everyone expected you to succeed.
Your will to fight back,

it has died.
Lonely and miserable,
no one by your side.
Oh no! Don't do that!
So what if you've lost every hope?
You just can't quit on life,
to hang yourself,
from that bloody rope!

***

Open books, unfinished words.
A last letter beside the burnt cigarette.
 They gaze at your lifeless body,
weeping with regret.
Tears come rolling, 
off their eyes
Watching the flames, 
rise into the skies.
The stench of pulverized dreams. 
Nothing can be done now,
It's too late.
As they helplessly watch, 
their golden sunset...

***

Beautiful Betrayal!

We walked hand in hand, 

strolling across the seas.

Happiness knew no bounds,

Away from a world full of fallacies.

***

Twinkling hazel eyes,

It's quite a sight!

Enchanting smile.

Shimmering like the moonlight, 

along the aisle.

***

A solitary star sinks,

beyond the shore.

No matter how hard it tries,

it's still gonna kiss the floor.

***

It's not love.

It's not lust.

As I go wandering for you,

amidst stardust!

***

Follow the graffiti,

Oh, let's flee!

I don't even care,

Let's meet our destiny!

***

"I love you!" she says,

the warmth of her embrace.

But then, there's this sudden rush of pain,

as she slowly stabs that knife inside my back.

Gradually her grip goes slack.

Astonished, 
I contemplate into her lovely eyes,

Wondering why.

Confused,

whether to smile or to cry.

***

Disguised as a dove,

You cast a charm of love.

It's funny how I never knew.

All along,

it was none other than you!
Words fail to describe, 
your deceptive portrayal.
I still can't get over, 
this beautiful betrayal!
 

***

  

Desire.

Curls of your desire,
strangle me to death.
I try so hard,
to free myself.
But end up abiding, 
onto your breath.  

***


There's something strange between us,
a bond of  predilection.
Jiggling between lust and passion, 
on a thin line of expectation.

***

This feeling I've got nowadays,
too vague to call it an ambition.
Like an impulsive black hole,
floating across the milky way.
Its greed of swallowing this universe,
causes the galaxies to go astray.


***

Inclination knows no boundaries.
As hovering smoke,
within the fires.
Your desires,
they'll eventually burn you down.
And even if you have the town,
you shall still keep craving, 
for that golden crown.

***

A Potential Date!

Sing me lullabies,

we'll fall asleep with the flow.

Gaze with me, at the skies.

How far can we go?

***

Silence has lost it charm,

inner voices scream anew.

Frondescence of a beautiful farm,

Cascading drops of  autumn dew.

***

Don't you leave, 
I'm not done yet.

Oh wait.

Well, at least have a cup of coffee with me.

We'll enjoy a good book maybe,

or let's just go on a date!

***

And then he comes, 
in his black limousine.

Lends her a hand & off she flies.

It's fine, 

the guy's rich.

Never mind, 

she was a bitch!

***

Your memories,

they vanish in the ember.

I finish my hot coffee,

as I wake up from my slumber...

***
