The Broken Veil

 


You laughed at me, said I was "too pure,"
Because at 24, I hadn’t seen what the world obscures.
Mocked my innocence, called it a shame,
Yet, in the same breath, you played a godly game.

You, who stumbled drunk, unable to stand,
Proud of the bottle in your trembling hand.
Flaunting your sin like a badge of pride,
Now act as if you’ve got heaven on your side.

You preach of salvation, of being saved,
But when you spoke those words, were you brave?
Did God protect you as you threw your stones,
Judging me for boundaries that are my own?

I welcomed you in, offered a home-cooked meal,
A friend, not a foe—that was the deal.
Yet, you call me a hypocrite, point fingers and sneer,
When it’s your own reflection you should fear.

You broke laws, bent morals to your will,
Ask others to help while you stand still.
Cheated, lied, made life easier for you,
But now act like a saint, as if your sins withdrew.

You called them names, laughed at their plight,
But when your world crumbled, you begged for light.
Where were you when others needed grace?
Too busy running in your selfish race.

Now you claim to have dodged a bullet, so wise,
But the truth is clear behind your disguise.
You’re no saviour, no hero in this tale—
Just a man who hid behind a broken veil.

The Spotted Cucumber

  One fine day, tired of "always my way," I reached for comfort, or maybe just a craving. Picked up a spotted cucumber— Seemed harmless enough, so why not? But the moment I touched it, it pricked. Unwanted timber in my hands, Yet I let it be—what else could I do? Hunger led me to peel its layers, Only to find the filth it hid underneath. Worms writhing where freshness should be, Rot, disguised as something nourishing. I thought it was doing me a favor, But all it did was make me sick. Never knew comfort could leave such a taste— Bitter enough to spill my guts out. Next time, I’d rather reach for something rich, Something warm, indulgent, and worth my time. A smooth, chocolaty éclair— Rather than ever go for such a comfortable, unhealthy affair.

Us Two

  As the hands struck two… Can you feel my hands on you? The power of the universe with just us two I am so into you. Who’s counting the minutes? Only we know what we brew. Even if the world fades to dark, We shine brighter in our spark. Your lips brush my nape, Undoing the shyness of my drapes. As your fingertips trace me, I melt like that slice of brie.

Temptress

  I wanna be your temptress, Get you down on my mattress. You be the king, I'll be your empress. I already have a clear purpose, You can trace every curve and surface. I've got one mission for you— Are you built for the secret service? Let me take a bite of that apple, Can you make me pray without taking me to the chapel? They call me a wolf, but I will bear your saddle, Make me howl like the moon's lone disciple. Either play this like a boring game of Scrabble, Or get your armor on and be ready for a passionate battle.
