Absence
He woke in sweat, in the midnight, upset
Hollow heart filled with memories of regret.
The dreams still bled of her smile and face.
Trying hard to forget,
Through the puffs of cigarette
He realised wide awake in bed,
Her smell, her feel, words unsaid,
Had left his heart in a mess;
Absence was indeed her presence in grace.

Life & Death
I saw Death staring right at me,
Whispering my name in the wind.
Scared, I ran as fast as I could
But the shadows of it still loomed.
I saw Life opening its arms
And I hugged it tight.
It suffocated me in its embrace
Yet I held on with all my might.

Illusional
No one will ever get to my soul.
It's shrouded in darkness.
Mystery of the unknown.
Unreachable thoughts.
It's untouched.
Unlike my body.
Unexploited.
Unlike my heart.
It seeks. In vain.
If you think you know my soul,
Think again.
Was it my soul you saw?
Or an illusion of what you wanted to see?
If you think you know me,
Think again.
Was it me you knew, or perhaps,
Who do I want you to know?
Are you livid at my words,
Scared of my thoughts?
Did you embrace the Queen of Darkness?
In turbulent emotional manipulation,
Thinking her to be the Princess of Light?
Of Love, Hope and Joy?
I laugh at your naivety.
It's not my fault.
You believed in things that never existed.
Illusions are the greatest Magic, they say.
And it was you
Who called Love the greatest Magic, remember?
So here I am, your Magician.
