Eclipse
Tamara Sep 2020
A spark of lightning
Between us
Overwhelming the senses
Intertwined in a passionate embrace
This is the dream
This is the desire.
We see Fate's intention
Detrimental to us
Beneficial to all
We are the precipice of survival
You, the sun
I, the moon
Separated forevermore
But just once
Once in a thousand years
The yearning ceases
An eclipse of such primal lust
And longing
Sated for but a moment
Where we satisfy our need
To be together.
But this moment cannot last
For Fate has intentions
Malevolent for our long awaited union
Benign for the darkness of humanity
Which is more important?
I have waited a thousand years
To feel your warmth
And felt nothing but freezing Disappointment
As you slip through my grasp once again.
Chasing each other
An endless pursuit for something
We can never have
The ache of our unfulfilled desire
To exist with each other.
Nothing can bring us together.
But for the Eclipse.

Timeless Beauty
Tamara Sep 2020
Blue grows the tulip
White grows the Rose
Here goes a letter
To whom no one knows

Light falls the feather
Bright grows the fire
Of the irony of love
I will never tire

Green grows the grass
Heavy is the dew
All this beauty
Is in tribute to you

A child to a mother
A moth to a flame
As timeless as tears
I'll never be the same

Minutes to hours
A day to a year
Because of these padded walls
We're all mad here.

Darkfall Mire
Tamara Sep 2020
Dark embrace
Poise and grace
I hide my cuts
With cotton and lace.

Dead, I'm in trouble
Playing the double
I shall rebuild my crown
And kingdom from rubble!

Judgement presides
The law abides
The High Court says
No taking sides!

I am dead
As the Red Queen said,
She stole my throne
Off with her head!

Guileless wraith
Losing my faith
Darkness consumes
Nothing she saith

Descend to the fire
Trapped in the mire
Alone when we know
The situation is dire.

Ending my tale
Tearing the veil
Unleashing hell
On the world I avail.

It's Time
Tamara Sep 2020
Positive vibes clashing with mine
I know the next step: take it as a sign

Generous as ever, patience galore
It'll take me a while to open that door
To believe in myself and believe i am free
To do what I want, and change what I see.

**** off the negativity that's plaguing my life
It's time for me to put down the knife
And stop believing that in the end
I can go through life and play pretend.

I'm a good person, though my self worth is not there
I have to build it up to where I believe I can care
For everything I do and say to myself
Put it in a box and shove it back on the shelf
I'm trying my hardest to write this out
Pull myself out of the dark and lighten the route
Because at the end of the day I'm stuck with myself and my mind
I have to remember that there's still more to find.

— The End —
