The One Dreaded Evil

They say evil has many faces;
Think I jus saw one!
But the reason why I could, was known to me;
Deep within I saw it coming;
Though never did I care;
After all did it matter that much?
Cos it comes despite all the despair!

This face of evil , one known yet unknown!
Keeps popping with forseen alarms;
It doesnt give me a chance to run;
Efforts to hide are put to rest!
It destroys my mind; It causes great pain;
Yet I gotto fight; one which I gotto win!
Winning or loosing aint in my hands,
But i strive to give my best!

Alas! swinging minds blow me away from the battlefield;
To a place so heavenly n divine;
I loitred around in a state of bliss;
the chance to fight this way i missed;
the fight was still on I had forgotten;
Time was gone to fight again;
I stood defeated conquered by the evil;
bringing with it a state of gloom;

I thought to myself; maybe next time;
Ill prepare n fight the oncoming doom;
But then i found; evil but has many faces after all;
they came in a group this time;
I stood defeated again;
almost out of my mind;
I said aloud ; its of no use;
next i shall not fight;
Ill just give in; whatever be my plight;
The evil was far too strong; it conquered one and all;

Still; in a land far away from home; often screams are heard;
Oh No! here comes the face of evil;
Its called an Assignment!



ps : U cud also replace assignment with Midterms ;) or well thts yet another face of evil !

Whats Inside!!

Heyy! heres the next post... or rather the next poem... well this one is quite simple... we all think we know ourselves in n out..! but it ain't like that..! I think its more like we have many sides , many facets to our own personality.. that we don't know of ! Sometimes the smallest of happenings make us withhold ourselves from doing what we know we should be.
We all try n show off our best side to the world. But sometimes that ain't quite enuf is'nt it? Well so heres a poem that deals with discovering the true inner self that lies within each one of us, n enjoying its beauty to the fullest. Cos inside each of of us lies a close to perfect person, whose potential n ability is just waiting to be tapped! hope this poem provides some insights!

Whats Inside!!!!

Its whats inside that really matters,
needles after all put together bits n tatters!

harsh they may seem,
living sans a dream,
plenty to look back n regret,
some things one would rather forget,

stormy winds gatherin speed,
violent splashes at the creek,
no one do they ever heed,
boulders too feelin meek!

But silent waters indeed run deep,
into thou soul they continue to seap,
within lies a beautiful world,
silently waiting to unfold,

Its never visible on the outside,
access to it is never denied,
visible thru a mirror,
it is waitin to be discovered,
to be understood!

carrying with it a radiant glow,
waiting to reach out n never let go!!
