Raiders in the Dark

In the middle of the jungle,
on the new moon night.
We all ride together;
fast and light.

We hide behind the cliff,
till our target gets in sight.
We sharpen our blades;
ready for the strike.

Finally we see them,
and charge with all our might.
We hit them hard,
and take them by surprise.

Gradually they get organized;
they start to give us a fight.
The revolt ends soon though;
no one able to survive.

We collect the booty,
and move away from the site.
Soon people will be looking for us...
up, down, left and right.

We take different routes forward,
we have to hide.
We all lay low for some time,
till another similar night...
till another similar night.

The girl in the Dark

There were many things on my mind,
And I needed to clear the clutter.
So I decided to go for a walk,
And that is when I saw her.

There she was,
Standing in the dark.
I looked at her,
And my heart fell apart!

I couldn’t see much.
Probably just her silhouette.
But even so, she looked so stunning!
I fell for her that instant, without a doubt!

I wanted to see her, know her.
I increased my pace.
But then she took a turn and disappeared,
And I couldn’t even see her face.

That moment,
Life seemed so cruel.
My happiest moment was followed by,
Probably the most vulnerable.

But then I saw something, she had left a mark!
Well this definitely is not a bad start!
For now though, she is just the girl I saw in the dark.
For now though, she is just the girl I saw in the dark.
