Bliss of melancholy

Play, play for me,
You live for regrets,
I have no objection but,
You crib for solace.

I am no hope but I am just there,
I live the truth for you just don’t care.
You chose the pain, the eyes in disguise,
I wrote this script, to be precise.

Blame, I take all those,
Cos you’re just so lame, in search of room
To free yourself, you don’t realize
The clutch you hold, in your hands.

Let it sink, yes prune your mind,
This is the truth, be it dry.
Rain, it comes by, cooling
My eyes so dry, drained in those cries.

Pray or you’ll fall prey,
You hunt, or just get hunted.
Chase, away from you,
Those eyes that run, when you look
Into them, they just burn.

Pray for glee, play to be,
Sink the truth, chase the dark.
Blame on me, you’ll be my prey,
You’re set for pain, set for eyes to dry.

I am gloom, I am dark,
I am your truth, the script of dark corner.
You cry for caress, struggle to exist,
You just stay here, to vanish in gist,
I am melancholy, I am the bliss,
You run from me, you’ll never find peace.

Shadow of the Monk

I have been through this lane,
I have seen light.
Shines bright before me,
But casts a shadow behind.

Clear path or clear mind,
What is the clarity that you need to find?
Comprehend your thoughts cos they show you,
That it’s finding self and not the clarity u need.

Premise, you tumbled down the ladder,
It’s either a slippage or a breakage.
You think you did right but,
Careless steps or broken ladder
Unchecked, show you the place behind.

Mistakes you correct, move to the new,
Reach out for the ball cos it won’t come,
You get there alright, but another slip-up you do.
Reach out, get it, get up and move.

Message I told, you did learn,
Only mistakes teach you, cos that’s when you burn.
I thought I showed you path cos I am light,
You went ahead and showed me the dark sight.

Did I give you clarity? Burnt by the premise.
Learnt by the mistakes, you got your right
Conclusions told me the lessons
I gave light and showed the path,
And the dark matter stands beside.

Being mindful got you there,
Light gives clarity to move everywhere,
When I moved ahead, you came before me,
I realized I am no light but dark,
Cos you were the shadow of the monk.
