Some stories stay simple.
Some suffer somersaults.
Some simply stop surviving,
silently succumbing, scarily, slowly.

-

There's a twinkle
in your eye;
tempting me to
smile.

I look away;
doing my best,
not to acknowledge
your bidding.

You stare at me;
willing me to see;
that you won't
give up, so easily.

I know that;
yet, I do my best,
not to succumb.
For now.

-

No, I don't want any ransom!
Just take your memories back
and free me.

Free me,
Just before I succumb!

-

Irreverent vapours
of my dysfunctional past
are coaxing my mind
to inhale them once again.

I feel like succumbing.

-

Monstrous life, taught me
How to strongly hold back
And rightfully behaved,
When TEMPTATION arrives
Like a lightning--
Strucks my senses,
Gets me drunk in its offered
Pleasure...
And awaken even my
Tiniest cells,
It's hard to control--
It's like being hanged between
The curb of heaven and hell,
It's heaven, if I let my self
Succumb the pleasure of
Temptation,
And hell, the feeling when my
Mind signals a capital "NO",
Heart erratically increases its beat
Whilst my disobedient body is
Deliberately screaming "YES"...

But in the end I've chosen
The right thing,
Coz a mistake could
Be a burden of a lifetime...

-

No more will I succumb
to the thoughts of 'you'
haunting me at night.
Instead, I will turn you
into poetry & let every
broken desire rest in
peace tonight.

-

Somewhere amidst
Commitment
faith
and
Love
A Relationship succumbed.

-

Challenges exist so that we overcome,
not succumb.

-

When materialism overpowers,
emotions succumb to death.
When ego overpowers,
love loses breath.

-

If you succumbed to situations,
then you're surely piling hefty
stocks of sufferings inside you.

Be aware, be vigilant, use your strength
at its best. Make your 'will' so strong
that you can stand in any situation.
