The Visage

The Visage

 

 Staring at my visage 

The world saw a bright face 

but do you know the darkness 

I faced

Do you dare to see the tears 

that spread across my face 

Do you see only when i am bright 

or do you see when i am blue 

Can you tell i'm screaming ?

 out for the help i need 

or i am just the silence 

of a winter night 

Do you see the cold knife 

that stabs my old life 

as i started living on the edge 

like a withered sedge 

Do you see unflawed me 

or do you see the broken me 

Do you see all pain 

or do you just see my pain

or do you just see my joy 

 Do you see what i have become 

in searching for one thing 

that would set my sad soul free 

Look into these eyes 

And dive into my soul 

And tell me am i a 

Shattered piece of glass 

                   or a stunning sapphire

Actuality behind being a Devil

Picture Source: Pinterest At least for once in a person's lifespan, they rebel, don’t they? Well, the cycle of rebellion comes accompanied by retaliation and realization, which can be traced back to the creation of the universe as we know it. Since the upbringing of a child, they are taught a deeper sense of what’s right or wrong so they won’t get trapped in guilt and vilification of their deeds, but the laws of nature aren’t so simple, I guess. The one above all had something different planned for us as the boon of will was bestowed upon us, but some things are better understood the hard way. If we look into our past, every source of guidance was handed to us by the Way of Mystics which creates a major impression overall, guiding us to the right path. Stories that have been shared of God’s favorite son known as Samael The Light Bringer,  the wisest and charming among all, got so wonderstruck of his fruition that he dared to question the actions of The Almighty .

Dream’s End

 I had a fever dream, of a utopian state A town with no slaves A city with no plagues A flawless place Somewhere I can feel free Where I can be the real me Where the crooks don't steal Where dreams aren't killed Where every obligation is fulfilled And lives are more than just red and blue pills Where the birds don't have to sing inside cages And love isn't just some ink on torn pages Where colors don't fade And we're not divided by borders or races And we don't have to read between the spaces And we're not forced to sing each other's praises Where the world is at peace Where heaven and earth meet A place where a perfect society could be. -Ayush Tripathi

UNISON OF ANTITHETICAL

Antithetical: directly opposed or contrasted; mutually incompatible. I'm cold as ice, you are hot as fire, My body was cold as snowflakes That you melted with your glare. My veins burnt with your touch, My heart boiled with the potions of your love. That glint in your eyes shivered my spine, My legs started trembling to see that mischievous smile of thine. Ice couldn't quench my thirst, Nor cud the fire did yours. But the day we met, Your hotness thawed my ice, My chill cooled your fire. We filled each other with The Elixir of Love. The mountains bowed, The wind trumpeted, The Universe stood in awe, At the sight of our unison. This beautiful poem is written by Miss Tanvi Patnaik aka Divine Fairy. She is a third-year student of Integrated MSc Biotechnology.  Praise the poet in the comment box and motivate her to keep on writing.
