And then you shall die.

Embedded in the swamps of paroxysm
where I see no constant paths or pavements
chipped walls, chipped florals, chipped winter
cascading all through my pale face
in delusions, in fallacies

I cracked the seeds of opulent hypocrisy of yours once
I shall do it again,
and again,
and again and again.
Till you split like apples and dice into cubes
with a naked foot of mine
I shall pierce you,
thawing your fingernails and burying
them into a grave
empty and swollen.

And then, you shall die. (claps, claps)


P.S- I know its all-new year thing going on everywhere but for me, a new year and new day is always when I am happy. Pardon my dark write-ups or even better deal with it! Who cares, after all!

  1. Dark is ok. I write dark too sometimes. What’s New Tear antway? Nothing really. Only a moment in time. Life doesn’t change. I like this

    1. So true oh God I feel so happy to be reading your words.
      Actually, there is nothing fancy about it. Fancy is only when our work changes a thing and creates something for the betterment of ourselves and others!!
      Much love to you.😊

  2. I haven’t been posting lately either for the same reason. It’s just another day for me. I don’t do the resolutions and all that. I figured I’d just wait it out, lol. But thanks for the post. It was just what I needed to read today.

  5. Chipping all the kings men saw
    identity drunk again
    johnny apple seed would have been proud
    we shall visit the crunch
    with rapiers
    not sheathed
    for where i fall
    o’ knees
    shall crash as mortar shells
    eyes rolling as death
