Bedside Tale

 


So, you think just because you slept around,
Twelve women deep to prove your masculinity,
You can shame a woman?
Boasting— at least you’re not a virgin?
Tapping a woman just to show you’re a man?

I guess you skipped chapters in decency and biology.
There is no pride in that—be it man or woman.
And yet, you preach about being the good guy?

Would your blood still boil if your sister was left high and dry?
Or would you blame her—she should have built a home?
Do you think real women are pornstars?

The audacity of men like you,
Trying to explain a woman’s body to herself.
Is your mother still teaching you this?
That girl seduced you, enchanted you—for your money?
Like seriously? If that were true,
Even Fiona wouldn’t have been with the Ogre.

You want feminine women, yet ask, do you like to touch yourself?
Your mother warned you of gold diggers,
But forgot to teach you respect for someone’s daughter?

Spare your lectures when it comes to me,
I was standing up for other girls—
Against the creeps who tried to snag a picture
Even when I was just a teen.
Against men ogling at women,
Even while holy dipping,
When I was only a child.

So your labels—crazy, psycho, nutjob?
They won’t stick to me.
Try all you want,
But you’ll never shut my voice.

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.

Stay Away

Stay away, stay away Keep those hands away Stay away, stay away I am not on display Stay away, stay away I just want my name on the hard black clay Stay away, stay away I am a kid who just wants to play Stay away, stay away All these memories are like a never-ending screenplay ~ Kanika Kaushal ✨ The Luminous Muse

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

  Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
