Actions

 


Actions speak louder than words,
But my words will bring your actions out in the open.

Kept calling me crazy,
Maybe your memory is hazy.

No, I won’t back down.
Go ahead and frown.
Try parading her,
Because you only enjoy crumpling every fleur.
Then act like a good guy,
Laugh out loud thinking you hurt a woman’s ego—a big sigh.

Everything that suits you goes by your choice,
Yet you treat girls like one of your toys.

Boys like you who think they’re doing a favour,
When they talk to a woman with respect.
Believing that since Maa Lakshmi graces your pockets,
You can go around poking your rockets.
But your souls are blind and have marbles in those sockets.

Did I show my true colours?
Go ahead then, build up your case.
Sure, I am the one who is such a disgrace.

Actions speak louder than words,
But my words will bring your actions out in the open.

Equating a woman’s worth with words like “tight,”
And you think I am always ready to fight and have lost my sight.
But you’re a big meat of coward who can never stand up for what’s right.

Won’t take any responsibility,
But quick to shout to show empathy,
Hiding behind words of virtue,
While your actions speak of cruelty,
Pretending to care, to understand,
Yet your silence leaves wounds unplanned.

Actions speak louder than words,
But my words will bring your actions out in the open.

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
