Boys & Chocolate : A Poem from 2000

Boys are like chocolate
Leaving you insane
To take that first bite
But knowing you have nothing to gain
Except for the aftermath
Of what you have to do,
To get rid of that pimple
And the extra weight too.

You savour the moment
When you feel the rush
Of joy inside.
But after the magic takes place,
The side effect you have to hid.

The break out, the fat, the extra weight
you've put on.
Hoping you never did touch that chocolate
In the first place, hoping it was gone

Chocolate is magical,
a dessert to paridise.
But boys on the other hand.
That, you should think twice.

Realisation of the Self : A Poem resurrected from 2000

If life has a presence, a shadow cast over me
A ship traveling blind, raging out to sea
If life knows of friendship, navigating alone by the stars
This soulless adventurer slowly drifting afar.

If life has a sound, that of an intricate tune
A breath of the end, starting simply too soon.
The pulse of a heartbeat of one with no name
If life had a conscience, guilt with no shame.

Restrained of emotions, various depths of the sea
If life has a soul, its paid laid out for me,
Waiting for dawn, a sunrise never to come
Mirrors of self reflection, shattered and numb.

Dreams of new hopes and beginnings creeped into mind
Thoughts of existence reversed as each path unwinds
If life can cast magic, appearances disappear
No mind, body or soul - neither one there nor here.

A knot pitted against my stomach
Sight of nothingness, just staring at black
Freedom - the moment when I can be just me
Unleashed and broken from life - I'm never turning back.
