Brilliance
She always thought of herself as a piece of coal
Coal that was dense, dark and dirty
Dirty enough to soil another’s soul
Soul that would form an opaque film of desperation
Desperation that would lead to destitution
Destitution that would make her believe her unworthiness
Unworthiness was so deeply ingrained in her
Her self she would harm in a rage of vengeance
Vengeance would make her believe she was still alive
Alive to feel things inside her black heart
Heart that could not see the brilliance of the diamond
Diamond that she actually was under all that coal
Coal that had wrapped itself around the gem
Gem cut and shaped over the years with such expertise
Expertise that had resulted in a dazzling shine
Shine that could blind others with its blazing gleam
Gleam that was a result of the pressures put on her
Her soul had transformed into a diamond
Diamond that had weathered seasons and pains
Pains that had caused the coal to harden
Harden and transform into a gleaming jewel
Jewel that was both unique and unbreakable
Unbreakable with the ability to tide over all odds
Odds that would have daunted the most brave
Brave men who would have shuddered at the sight
Sight of the storms they would have to weather
Weather caused her to rise instead of crumbling
Crumbling under the pressures of life
Life that was unfair, painful and deceitful
Deceitful enough to mar and malign lives of others
Others came to be touched by the radiant glow
Glow of her diamond heart covered with a layer of coal .

Attempt
We are a strange breed of men
We live our lives in a pretence
A life of deceit and of guise
In a cloud of a camouflage dense.
Unable to accept ourselves with our
Failures and faults we live
Creating an aura of invincibility
Giving more than what we can give.
Acceptance is a sharp bladed knife
It only works when you realise
That you were born a certain way because
Life is an illusion and a bunch of lies.
Attempt we do to understand ourselves
In privacy, far away from prying eyes
It is easier to blend in a crowd
Than to stand aloof without any disguise.
How do we bare ourselves to others ?
Will they ever accept us for who we are ?
How can we expect someone to embrace us
When we are unwilling to welcome our own flaws?
Are we the people we pretend to be ?
Or the ones we are actually inside ?
Isn’t it easier to adopt a personality that
Doesn’t always need to hide ?
We talk about acceptance while feigning
Our own selves in layers of grime
It takes strength to say “this is me” unapologetically
Stand alone, unafraid and shine.

Bleeding roses
I lie bleeding, sprawled out on spikes
Laid out by you every night
And although it does give me a fright
I never turn around to fight
Off the hurt and pain you incite
Though inside I’m shrieking like a shrike
The blood drains, pours out of me
Red rivers of hate I see
I mourn the loss of self , I grieve
While my weakness and futility you decree
Instead of finding the strength to leave
My tears form an unending stream
The blood drains below my bed of nails
While I quiver, shudder and quail
Leaving a long bloody trail
Into roses it pools concealing a ghastly tale
Of dying relationships- feeble and frail
Locked up in a cocoon- effectively a jail
These roses deceptively and sweetly try
To any who find the need to pry
Instead of depicting a love gone wry
They never wither and never die
Since the trail of blood never runs dry
Bloody roses always lie

@writerstolliHer Screaming Eyes
She screamed at me with her eyes and it made me want to find the deepest part of her mind.
And if her heart cannot lie she can take me on the miles
Because her status is a runway to take me up to the skies.
Give me the seeds of my destiny so I can plant the world with your charms and calm all of those storms in your arms.
I feel so alarmed when the breeze blows because its you in the cold
I just want us to be alone so you can make me your home.

Crayon
He looked at her with lust filled, round beady eyes
He’d lured her with a bunch of sweet sounding lies
Her youthfulness to him was a great allure
Their secret this would be he had assured
While she sat innocently looking outside the window
Time seemed to go into a state of limbo
He fussed about the room several things arranging
Only his fervour remaining unchanging
She looked at him with her naive large eyes
Never once suspecting him of creating a disguise
To entice her into a deceitful web so brilliantly woven
That she couldn’t have escaped even if she’d chosen
As she waited for him to tell her what to do
Watching him on a beetle leaf slowly chew
He’d arranged the sheets on the nearby bed
The bed sheet was printed with big flowers in red
She walked towards her table and sat down
His hawk like gaze turned into a frown
Wondering if she would resist if he hurled himself at her
He wondered if it would better on the floor lined with a carpet in fur
While he contemplated this complex riddle in his mind
She started searching in hopes to find
A box of crayons she’d left on her study table before
While he quietly moved to lock the door
And came to stand behind her watching her sing and draw
Her house, her parents and him - her uncle she regularly saw
He grabbed her by the waist and lifted her in his arms
His familiarity in her mind raised no alarms
She was placed on the brightly coloured bed
He came to realise this would be easier than what he had read
Her five year old self would never remain the same
He’d convinced her this was all a game
In the name of family he was about to break all bounds
Simply by being the uncle who constantly lurked around
Trust is a simple thread that transforms into a complex knot
She should’ve been better than this taught
For her parents negligence she paid a heavy price that day
When it was all over he stubbed his cigarette in an ashtray
As he left he waved at her playfully and said
“Don’t tell mommy anything or I’ll lose my cred”
Although she was confused by the strange game
She decided to stay mum rather than repeat the same
She wondered how she’d get better at it like he had assured her
And bit into the chocolate he’d given while the afternoon turned into a blur

Butterfly
I am a butterfly
Colourful and bright
Being around flowers make me
Giddy with delight
I was born a caterpillar
Black as the night
And became wonderfully beautiful
After a fortnight
I glisten in the sun
When the day is filled with light
Making merry and flitting
Flying in the sky like a kite
The black spots on my wings
Make a pretty sight
Coloured red, beige and black
My stripes are in white
I make most people happy
Although some get a terrible fright
I should be handled carefully
For I am delicate and do not bite
If ever you do pluck a flower
Always remember my plight
Plant more flowers so that I can
Satisfy my appetite

Image credit goes to Pinterest.Powerful
Perplexed by a loss unforgotten
Overlooked by a mind so tense
Withered to the touch through years of self defense
Extremities tingled with the sorrows of the crowd
Rivers crossed, just for yourself to accept
Friends helped, most unkept
Under pressure, to everyone unseen
Living days with gloomy smiles, forever obscure.

Habitual Tranquility
The birds on the tree stretch their wings
To their friends bid a fond goodbye
We will meet again when the day is warm
And the sun lights up the sky
They flap and chirp and gather together
No point in flying alone
Go home we will and rest till morrow
For The sun to rest has gone home
The pond beside their beloved tree
Bears the lengthening shadows of eve
As the sun slowly disappears
So does all the chirping cease
The orange skies breathe their last
For the last time that day
Enveloping dark , embellished night skies
Come galloping to claim their prey
Half a day with starry lights
The night does ebb and flow
Reluctantly let go of their claimed fortress
As the sun awakens with a morning glow
Warmth slowly spreads its arms
Welcoming it's companions , the birds
Sunny heat warms their wings
And the sun smiles as they find , yet again... their perch

@writerstolliSilence and Tears
Do you forsake me the sweet bread kept at your table and where is that love of our devotions that dazzled me our first time?
I set my gaze upon your eyes, you toyed and laughed with me and shared with me your secrets.
It must be that you are the story the poets before me foretold and I am like that spirit of them observing your heart and your ways mirroring them only in these thoughts I have shared.
The love you confess is sweetest upon your lips and there alone have we both shared in it.
For I know your heart is vengeful and I observed how it waned.
In joy you received me, in your wrath you forget,
if my love was greedy you,
my heart too would regret.
So long will I rue thee for my soul you have kept and each time I do see you,
even after long years.
In smiles I will greet thee to silence those tears.

I’ve written to Letter to the last snowfall of winter instead of from its point of view.
To the last snowfall of winter,
I watch the snowflakes lingering in the cold air
Clutching the fur tightly around me
The pathways are covered in a blanket of white
With the sunlight fighting against the cold to be set free
As though the sun is still fast asleep
Afraid to wake up and brilliantly shine
The gentle snowfall overwhelmingly
With the rustic scenery combines
You are the last of the brood
The last beautiful day this snowy winter
Your presence will be awaited with
Bated breath till autumn finally splinters
You look breathtaking yet my heart is remorseful
From my glass windows I watch you intently
Sitting writing poetic verses of adoration
While you slowly wither outside gently
You fill me with a bitter sweet ache
I reminisce days of glorious past left behind
I see you and feel beauty slowly slipping
Gradually from the essence of my life
I write in hopes of stalling you
And asking you to stay forever
For winter is when my soul comes alive
Making me all ties to other seasons sever
Sincerely yours,
Pallavi

@writerstolliFirst Initiates
Nothing rests in uncertainty.
All things follow an ordered principle and it is by these first principles are worlds made, the destinies of men shaped and the truth revealed.
We consider it true that all things are known by there existence and some things reveal from within themselves the exceptions of their creation by the conduct of a man's mind.
And this quality, unique to the most wonderful creation of all, is in whose embodiment is the glory of the stars beholden unto us.
But there are no mysteries in this world.
All things are known by its Author and as we are emanations of this great power so too are we first initiates of all that is of this world.

...If it is so then we are as but much greater than the fallen angels who are but emblems of honour that we set aside for our purposes. Truly, beauties are the thoughts we create and the stars are but the number of our charms.
Our presence is as the receding of the sun for the man who sees for the last time and the shining of the moon is the hidden vesture of our sacred garment.
So we are as invisible creatures.
Alas!
A new world may emerge from the ashes and if we perish in form we live on in virtue for no fear can grip us and we strive toward honour in the acquiring of the necessary fortitude. All things are sure.
Live immediately!

Letter to my empathy
To my empathy,
Deep seated you reside cocooned
From the outer world concealed
You soften all my rough edges
Helping me understand others in need
Being able to empathise with another
And having the ability to their mood read
Sympathising alone isn’t enough
When another’s feelings you can feel
Thank you for everything you do for me

Letter to oblivion
To oblivion,
You are a dark yawning void lost
In the depths of despair
A constant state of nothingness
That in the face of the abyss stares
The weight of the profound silence
Is a necessity you constantly bear
The voracious murkiness of being
A part yet not being there
I am in you and you in me
Both of us are universally compared
To the obscurity of destitution
And the shadowy recesses left bare
When in the face of destruction
Sordid thoughts at obscurity stare
Vitality stagnates when you loom large
Mindless sinful crevices life impair
Yours gratefully,
Pallavi

Letter to creators of mirakee
To Mirakee,
I was a lost fledgling flitting and floating
Flapping my wings in the vacant air
Nascent and inexperienced I was
Trying to find confidence that wasn’t there
Homeless and muddled I kept wandering
Till one day I found a cosy nest
A place I could call home and find calm
I place where I could find karmic rest
I became free to be whoever I wanted to be
Like minded birds I found there
Free to wander in the vast blue skies
And happily return to my lair
With a place of comfort to call home
From a chirping bald eaglet I went on to become
A majestic eagle with both speed and sight
And found the strength to obstacles overcome
Soaring in the immeasurable wide
In my glorious self, I found
That I was capable of so much more than just flight
Because the safety of my nest was abound
My home was a security net , a place
I could return every eve no matter where I’d been
I found the freedom I’d always craved
No longer was I afraid for myself to be seen
The new found confidence changed my soul
I was strong and I was free
The winds felt like propellors aiding my flight
I was finally who I was always meant to be
You gave me a warm place to call home
You nurtured me, let me find my voice
Everyday I am thankful that I found you
For me you were the perfect choice
The effort you put in appreciating others
In providing a non judgemental haven
Is more than friends can ever give
Is the light we gravitate towards in the raven
I was not like the others, I was different, a loner
Because of you I found new friends
I hope you continue to always be an abode
I pray my journey with you never ends
Always thankful
Pallavi

@writerstolliThrough Ages of Time
All the passion of you is yet in me.
The joy of your arms and the tender heat of your anxious breasts against my lips draw me from the depths of the cold and into the dawn of a summer's morning.
Surely, these things are not felt by me alone. The whole essence of me is with you and the changing flux of the world cannot disentangle the bond between us.
Though ages of time may pass us and the trail of your perfume may meet the nostrils of your prey to walk upon your door.
As the roots of the high mountain tree so too shall our love growst.
And through the idle passage of your memories there is the longing spirit of me.

From Autumn to Spring
Dear spring,
Bowed bare branches bear the brunt
Of forgotten forsaken falsified hopes
In the torn tattered twigs reside
A sunny springy summer that has eloped
My once strong safe shady boughs
Nurtured big beatific bewildering dreams
The painted pacific pathways lie covered
With my fallen once luscious leathery leaves
In the broken battered bulbs lie
The wish for a hopeful happy handsome tomorrow
Instead the cold clammy clustered heaps
Spell undying unbridled unexplainable sorrow
Dreary dark defiant winters follow me
To discover silence solitude solace
My auburn arid autumn leaves
Are by chilly chaotic cruel snow replaced
I’m envious of your fresh fantastical flowers
And luscious luxuriously laden trees
Bringing a weary wornout winter
On its very knobbly knock knees
Your glossy grassy greens uncover
Aesthetic artistic aspirations
Cheeky chirping cheerful birds accompany
Nature as it flits floats fulfils its expectations
I always wistfully wholly wish to be
More dainty delicate delightful as you
You bring a cherubic cheery childlike exuberance
And sense swathing sweetness known to very few
Yours,
Autumn
