RAVAGED SOUL

 

it bloats out the dreams you once had 

leaving you perturbed, burdened and hard 

those feelings would refuse to go away 

even if you brood all day 

a repugnant siesta for your soul 

ravaged and ragged like a burnt ashen coal 

the heat would consume you wholly 

your world will go numb totally 

exhausted heart because of unrequited love 

fragrance-less like a repulsive clove 

time and tides won’t save you this time

nobody smiles after tasting a lime  

time repays us in our own coin

karma will gear up and fasten her loin 

do no harm but keep mute 

it will then dawn on her that she is a brute 

a good soul she has caused to ravage 

rendering it in pieces like a salvage

his resolve is now in the stars 

a reserved soul now sent to mars
