Burning Words Cut Love Cords

Weighed down
By burning words

They sound
Like angry swords

Slain hearts
Now lie in discord

Depart...
And cut Love cords.

Wise Investment

I banked
On your love
Invested my life
But the returns
Ruined me
You do not own me
So I decided
To take back
My deposits
Withdraw interest
And regain
Stability
Profit
Is me.

Language Decay (Nonet)

A nation's identity lies tied
To the language of its people.
Essence of culture beating
A country's heart and soul,
When dashed to decay
Profanity
Ushers death -
Nation...
Falls.

Dyslexia

I always seem to type reversed letters
The words get jumbled like a scrabble game
'Orb' becomes 'Rob' and I may thus offend
So I'm careful that my 'Friend' does not end a 'fiend'.

The Bet (Naani)

The Bet (Naani)

Life's nasty little clock

Speeds up in staccato tic tac

As Drinks and Drugs feed on

Death placed his bet and mocks.

The Card (Nonet)

As I came across the yellowed card
Unfolding lost fond memories
Life pages of long ago
Yearning for those I miss
The lines written there
Slowly became
Soft whispers
My eyes,
Blurred.

No Rules, Just Power Occupying! (Nonet Poetry)

No rules, just Power occupying!
Validity in question clear
Deception's mask was working
Lives lost were not so dear -
Massacres unknown
Licensed murders
Soldiers kill
Their souls
Dead.

Puppetic Threats

Puppet!
Speaks in borrowed voice
Spews out threats
It has no choice
But makes the moves
Held by strings, obeys
Just to prove
All he says
In ego - 'Fire! '
That rocket lay
A puppet's ire

A Mother's Work (Nonet)

Their invisible bond never ends
Life cord that ties child to mother
Love connects, as she attends
Unselfish tender care
Child grows maturing
The bond is there
Character
Growing
Strength.

Infidelity (Naani)

When Love, in mercurial flight forsakes
The heart that it once cherished
Tears that flow leave
Vows and rings...tarnished.
