AS DEVILISH AS BY TASNIM LANGRY As devilish as their whispers can be to you,

--

When the reflection of the sea turns a clear-sky blue,

When most delays cause you many stresses,

Days filled to the brim with too many addresses.

--

Mind boggled down truth unrevealed too busy simply dismiss this,

Drained numb drunk find easy skunky orifices.

Reek of despair all over the places,

--

Tickles and laughter in clandestine, dark spaces.

So easy their souls full of disgraces,

Wipe shame on all random faces.

Jinn so rare choose bitter places,

Solace in fair maidens and easy crevices.

Riding on crests of waves laced with venom, manipulation and a bluff,

Good energy beware observing in turn your chance to gain it, rough.

Adversity has two sides as a coin,

Think clearly with a head, heart and not your loin.

Proud they stand like vultures on cheap meat,

Assuming closed-quarters provide a ubiquitous prized heavenly seat.

Oh how we all, our own destiny cheat?

In secret we do devils meet.

Forever entwined by mischief while clarity streams a frequency,

Why flip with my mind if visions reign minus efficiency.

While life goes on and we drain energy in a game riddled with dark vibes,

Leave me be while I succour inside, precision heavenly tribes.

Mine heart conditioned from birth, to simply grow and know,

Please confusion . . . put-paid so I to my future go!

Time I know bends at a will and whim,

Imagine sans distaste in heavenly waters we both can swim.

My life I conjured ecstasy from pain and sorrow,

Living, dying, hoping and faith I deserved a better tomorrow.

Stuck in a mudslide, or am I rolling in a field of lavender purple,

Slow are some minds walking briskly as if a turtle.

Oh get off high-horses and let loose that ego,

Vaults to drain, human again then zero zero is a minus many a zero.

To be a real hero though,

Lift up a heavenly bow!
