In a desert
Stranded in solitude
The sun sears
My eyes with tears
Scarlet drops of pain
Squirting from my back
Pierce like a pin
My heart, my soul from within
I trusted, I believed
Never meant any harm
But I was cheated
Oh! I was betrayed
Betrayal, I can see
Is a meticulous scheme
Coming very near
Getting too dear
And hurting it deeper
I am a fish
Deprived of water
Throbbing in vain
Numb at heart, mind insane
Flash! A lightning strikes
A face appears, one too familiar
Marooned with me in the golden sands
Is my betrayer, with folded hands
“I can’t beg for pardon
I can’t disown my guilt
But can I something say
For those who plan to betray?
Every betrayal starts with trust
To betray, you must first belong
Betrayal cuts the thread so strong
To yourself you no longer belong
Betrayal butchers one’s hope
But first, it slays your scruples
Like a faithful dog, always remember
Betrayal never betrays the betrayer.”
P.S. – @ Alisha – Thanks for suggesting the topic! :)
This was my quickest poem ever. It didn’t take me more than 2-3 hours to compose this one. Words & thoughts just kept flowing. If you notice, I have switched from my previous rhyme-scheme of abcb to abcc for this poem. This was mostly because I wanted to convey the idea, via the last two verses in each stanza, almost simultaneously. They stand for the same actions or are in continuation. I believe, this helps the darkness appear more pronounced in every stanza.

U really wrote all dis stuff.... Cool Dude !
a really nice topic i must say :P
the poem is really nice.particularly the last two stanzas feel so real."to betray u must first belong"i was blown away by this line.
but i think the first few stanzas cud have been better,they are nice but dont capture the mind of the readers much as the last ones...and dont ask me to write thm better coz i cant...u are good but i expect something even better from a poet like you(not tht this already is not good enough)
