I'm Swuzelle

By Sucheta Das

Her

She is an indefinite shadow
Her divine voice is silently stale
Her breaths are loop of windows
To her beautiful bewildered trails
She wakes up with closed eyes
Reminiscing about her lost soul
And with an overpowering force
She creates an irresistible control
She fits through the mistaken spaces
To settle the cages of her magical realism
The burning stars in her heart leave traces
Ruining the marks to her limitless potentials

Affliction

Waking up handcuffed being sapless
Breath withdrawn by a yelp
Bellows remain overly voiceless
Beats run through an irrational help

Ruins mark the crisis-run hopelessness
Self alienated in the process of awareness
Sprinkles of terror inhaled by catastrophe
Vexation pulls off to be unendingly smoky

The ravishment

The marks of your fingers
Burn my body longer they linger
The way you pulled my hair
Still makes me shiver of scare

My loud screams remain unheard
My jitters turn into demonic absurds
When tore my clothes and retaliated
It sucked away my soul that was elated

You annihilated me and drew my fears
Now scars are jewels that everyday I wear
My hopes are broken pieces of the mirror
That reflected the joy that once I admired.

Woman

They think I’m milk
To flow as smooth as silk
They know not I’m honey
Living dense and thick

I’m the face of curiosity
Hidden under silent whispers
I stand against the atrocity
With burns and cuts on my fingers

My power is the silence
As weak as my resemblance
My weakness is abstruse
Concealed with subservience

Ink fades as I down my pen
Words bleed away with tear
I’m a soul mocked and jeered
I’m an abandoned idle woman.

I

I’m the ticking of the bomb
The living soul resting alone
I’m the flow of the tear
The dead tide fading fear

I’m the determinant truth
The elegant mark of honesty
I’m the humor imbibed in insanity
The hidden despair of generosity

Victory peels scar on the thrill of mercy
And I’m the miserable failure of brutality

Eyes

Happiness to me
Is your cheerful lips to see
Time when we walked
Hand in hand, through eyes we talk

Separated by miles
Away from ages
My eyes waiting to see you smile
At least leave your traces.

Without You

Time takes long to heal
It keeps moving without a deal

Without you is always so cold
The letters now lie without folds

Untouched memories comes back
Making a thrust up your neck

As the tears fall down
Voice blurs its sound

Mind Over Heart

“Don’t let them see you with tears. Be brave and be strong.” said the mind
“Let those emotions out.. nothing will change ” said the heart
“I’ll be brave and strong everyday until I die” she replied supressing her heart

Outcast

The words turn blur
Thinking back, about the day,
Squeezing the heart to clear
All the emotions left unsaid

Time freezes
Turns as cold as stone
Bleed, the wishes
That once held a rhythmic tone

Unseen scars, deep treasured
Needs remain unlightened
Seconds escape without any measure
Hits the soul creating dents.

Wraith

Sweet as sugar
Calm as a river
Kind as a mother
Funny as a joker

All of a sudden..
Comes turning of the tables
Making me feeble
He turns into a monster
Rages like wildfire

Beast at heart
Soul is stone hard
Ghost in mind
These are his sign.
