Angels cry in heaven
for the wails of the demons
Nothing but dust remains
smoking from the train,
A priest scares with sermons
for the ones condemned
And praise for the heavenly.
Not all of us plays pretend.
On the hill,
laid side by side,
wrapped in warmth,
hands intertwined.

breath met breath,
so did love,
shy moon peeked
through drifting clouds.

above them,
stars scattered in dark,
but it was their hearts
that held the night.
just had a déjà vu of my stargazing date with a past-life lover
The red spills through cracks in labyrinthine ravines
Cold listless flesh lay blued and ashen,
Flickers of orange dance in a strobe catching the dull light that once graced her eyes
Insipid, this heartbeat, rapid
And off bleak moment that passes
Syncopated breaths in the breadth of her passing.

As the stygian air ripples through the tides of despair.
A tearful mourning prayer,
The dagger-aware, hilted guilt
Cut her to the quick of her spout
Springing her wine like a cask
Anima in a flask,
In sated thirst, I ask

“Will you grant me forever now”

As the night fell.
Surrounded by my filth
Clotted in defecation
Unable to shake this struck remiss
As I fall further down
Abyssal torrents,
A tempest obscurant

Was this worth the cost?

Voracious hunger for knowledge unknown
****** to relive my immoral erebus nature.
I loved it as if my tenebrous fingers could cradle your light
But all my love is obsessed with the Chthonian ritual

Commune with Faust,
I’ve sold my soul to Mephistopheles
A sword swings above the crown
Damocles ******
When chasing Lucifer’s light.

“O light bringer
Will you grant me forever?
May I be of Eden’s fruits
Devoured by our crepuscular Eve?
I’m dying to know the cosmos like paint by numbers.”

I speak but the silence palpates
And the perfume of her rot creeps
The paraffin has ceased
As creasing orange and yellow shimmers retreat.

Here in the recess,
As the excess of her vitae slakes hungered lips
I knew that hell was real,
As I wake to the stake,
Prometheus fated —
I am but a carrion’s carry-out.
horror/occult-based theme here.
Ankush 1d
Once upon a time
a father with his belt –
(with black shiny paint
and a steel which is melt)

And a son, a pen in his hand
A book by his side
A lamp blowing light
Tears in his eyes
The fear in his veins
With his wimped tiny mole

(A cry in his neck and
a gulp in his bones)

Whimp whimp strikes the ground
Wipes the tears,picks up his pen
Shakes up his head,
Gives him a cloth,
to blow up his nose

(A smile on the boy's face
The fallen tear on the page's lace
It dried his shake on hand and
moved him a pace)

Whimp, whimp, whimp – strikes again
(A posed fear on son's face)
Whimp, and he strikes again
(The clueless child, shakes with his pain )

The blats on the floor
and its black remains
The years of slaps
which slashed up cement

(He comes back..
drops his belt   )

A relief in boy's breath

The steel fallen,
relief is felt

The father with his red hands
(Blood flows out at a spot's end )
Smiles at the son

Dark is his eyes like year's repent

(A strung in his mind
He shakes only once,
As he picks up his belt)

He sits on his couch and
acts as he had a father –
with a belt-
(with its black shiny paint and
a steel which is melt.)
(this poem is Just my imagination )

A haunting reflection on the cycle of violence within a family, where a father’s painful legacy is passed down to his son. Through raw imagery and symbolic language, this poem explores the emotional scars of childhood trauma and the generational impact of abuse.
Pulse as tether.
Mind, a blade dulled on bone.
Ash drips from the ceiling of thought
no light, only the hiss of burned names.

Tongues calcify in jars of dusk.
Flesh remembers what silence forgot.
Smoke blooms in the mouth of sleep.
Pain suckles the root,
wants nothing but to stay.

Grief is a handless clock
still turning.
Still carving
where nothing remains soft.
Shadows don’t get deeper
when they overlap.
They don't get darker
under a brighter sun.

Dragonflies out in the sun
They know what I mean

We share the same
filtered sun.
We share the same
moving shadows.

And we are all the stronger for the sharing.

Komorebi: the shimmering light and shadow filtered through moving leaves. It only exists once, at that moment.
The dark reaches past the veil
As lanky tenebrous nails trail
Down pallid moribund flesh,
Aghast of a heavy rattled breath
Crimson paints over charcoal knuckles
As death reaches to ***** the light.
Dark thoughts are intrusive
