Sweet Slavery

A waft of you
Deadly seduction
Sweet slavery
My addiction


Though you taunt
Pull my strings
I succumb to you
For my thrills


Chasing a mirage
Ran to my end
Into your arms
Straight to hell


Voices cried
Out to me
Shaking me, back
To reality


Deep down inside
I knew my fate
Surrendered myself
To destiny

I sway my limbs
Dance to your tune
Heedless of danger
I follow your lead

Vicious Cycle

A poem i wrote....

As memories unravel
Realizations are made
My mind marvels
At all I have missed

It has been said
It is never too late
To seize what’s left

And it’s still too early
To determine my end
I say to myself

As the sun sets
And flowers wither
I reveal my feathers
Set to soar

But all are gone
Oblivion
I bawl at life
Shriek in despair

Bereft of hope
Sunk in stupor
I avert my eyes
And loose hold

Out of the blue
As it arrives
I turn my back
Give it a miss

It’s a vicious cycle
I live to regret

-Nashira. B
