The Used And Abused Marionette(This poem is dedicated to all those who are or have been in abusive relationships. My heart goes out to all of you beautiful people.)

I.

I've been nothing
But a slave to your debauched desires
Your sole possession, your marionette
Benumbed by the deceit,
The manipulation veiled
Beneath your soft artist's touch...

And a touch that endeavours to sabotage
The most beautiful of all silhouettes
Is the touch of the irresistible...
The undeniable...

Just like you...

For I was left powerless, forlorn of all hope,
As your hands designed my fate,
With one subtle caress at a time...
With one stage of seduction at a time...

That Thing Called Love...When you speak those three beautiful words
As softly as water droplets gliding down a petal
From gravity’s gentle pull…

When you dissolve me in your romantic metaphors
As sugar does when stirred in warm liquid
With its sweetness melting through…

When your lips meet mine in an ethereal kiss
Embodying love’s sweet languor
As our hearts diffuse…

I see the world through rose-coloured heart-shaped glasses
Where the bitterness is filtered away from my sight
With my eyes, only capable of witnessing beauty
I’m no longer a stranger in a world of spite
For the darkness has been devoured
By the ignition of o
Mr. WomaniserDear Mr. Womaniser

Such a sweet-tongued charmer, you are
Fetching women, here and there
Pursuing your futile female chasing game
To toy with your victims without a care
With what you’re destroying in the process

You’re always proving your love fraudulently
With fallacies of sweetly phrased lies
For your lips only speak of empty promises
And manipulative emotional bribes

Because you are nothing but a devil-virtuoso
Disguised in a mask of genuineness
And you show a face of selfless humility

ShatteredYou shatter me to smithereens
As I find out the bitter brimming truth
Behind your sweet little lies.
Let go of bitter memoriesAll my bitter memories
I have thread together
On the hanging strands of my spirit
And burned them
In an open fire
And let the winds
Blow away the remaining ashes
For I’m no longer burdened by them
As I embody this liberation
And think of the limitless space
I have gained in my mind
For sweeter memories to fill.
"Love is..." - HaikusLove is a poison
Deceives you with its sweet taste
Then kills you slowly

-

Love's a battlefield
A combat of emotions
A fight with no end

-

Illusions of love
Distort our reality
With its crumbling lies

-

Love is infectious
Like a viral plague crippling
What is left of you

-

Mysteries of love
Burden you with secrecy
As it veils the truth

-

Love’s a sacrifice
To willingly give away
Your defenseless heart

-

Love is a story
That has already been shown
Through different eyes

-

Love is its truest
When the bond is eternal
With never an end
