Villain Era


You came to my table, feasted from my plate,
Laughed in my light, but your smiles were bait.
You wore masks of friendship, cloaked in deceit,
While all the while, you plotted my defeat.

I opened my door, offered warmth and grace,
Gave you my hand when no one else gave you space.
Yet you held your knives close, hidden in the dark,
Sharpened them quietly, aimed straight at my heart.

You think you’ve won, watching me stumble and break,
Smirked as my fire dimmed, relished what’s at stake.
But don’t get too close; you’ve missed a crucial part—
I’m retreating to gather, to reignite my heart.

I am not the ashes you hoped would stay,
I’m the flames reborn, igniting brighter each day.
I see through your schemes, your cowardly lies,
And I’m rising now, with a vengeance in my eyes.

Make way, your time is done; I’m shedding the kind,
No longer the one who forgives every crime.
I embrace my darkness; it’s finally time,
To reclaim my power, to unleash my climb.

This is my villain era, the chapter you wrote,
Each betrayal, each whisper, every poisoned note.
You tried to snuff out the light you envied so much,
But I’m seizing the shadows, with a fierce, ruthless touch.

So heed this call and keep your distance,
I may have bent, but never in persistence.
For those who tried to bury me in disgrace—
I’m the reckoning now, I’m fire’s true face.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
