Thornless rose
Hislizard Dec 2019
Dare you not
Get lost in the labyrinth of black petals of secret
Encircling the surreptitious illusion

Thorns shielding are long gone
As vulnerable as glass
Waiting for the twig to break
Any time soon

Exquisite to some
Negative to others
Evanscent, kind, fragrance longing to last
Just a moment longer each second

Dare you not
Mistake the dark hue
And deceive yourself into think
There are no walls differentiating
The upteen dried scars

Dare you not
Mistake me dead

Gone like smoke
Hislizard Dec 2019
Faded memories of you calling me names bring me back to life
They hit me like freezing winds in the winter
Nostalgia fills me when someone calls me the name you called
I wish it were you instead of them

I curse at the little time we had
when I was too young to gather my thoughts
Abstract disjointed scenes of us play in front of me like a movie
A movie I would wish to never end

When people close to you talk to me,
I realize another time what I have greatly lost
Why in the world did they more time with you than I had with you?
That's unfair
Life should have made us cross paths earlier

Tell me how to breathe in this unfamiliar world
Now that my world is gone
******* with you
Make me  what you and your abstract disjointed memories do
Grow fainter and fainter like smoky thin air and then pfft....be gone

Love like stars
Hislizard Dec 2019
Winking pearls in the ocean of darkness called sky remind me of my world
Winking pearls in the ocean of darkness remind me of you
We held our hands tightly together and looked up and smiled
You pointed to a line of shinning diamonds and told me it was an Orion's belt

Three exquisite white beads stood out amongst the million others
Just like the way you stood out amonst the million others
The beautiful silence under  these twinkling stars bring back your words
Our bond is just like the universe - infinite, you said
Absolutely just like it
The universe and our bond will forever and ever be infinite
Also you vanished into thin air just like the stars

Funny thing about stars
You still see them years after they are gone
Just like the way I see you

Demons
Hislizard Dec 2019
Dont look inside
It's so dark, you will lose yourself in the darknes
The demons don't hide under my canopy bed
They hide inside these deep brown eyes

You have a place to hide from your demons under your bed
I can't hide from them
They live inside me

Get too close and you will see the beast
They haunt me every second of my life
Not a spark of light of hope

Show me the way to escape this cold hell
Where the demons have built a kingdom and are ruling my fears
Get this mask of fake mirth off my face

Painting love
Hislizard Dec 2019
Each stroke defines what a perfect creation of god you are
Sea blue eyes reflect the vastness of the sea
Cherry red lips potray sweetness of cherry
No wonder where I got my sweet tooth from

Each dab of paint on the palette reveals your true colours
Red for love
Blue for no limitation
Red for pain
Blue for death
Black for demons

Each shade painted unfolds the number of lives you lived and desths you survived

Still waters run deep
Hislizard Dec 2019
Alligators moving unnoticed
Waiting to be fed
Just like the demons ruling my fears obdurately
Waiting to be fed

Almost so clear, the predators can be seen
If scrutinized
Eyes so deep, the secrets can be seen through
If scrutinized

Silent waves look easily defeated
They create no choas outside
Filled with tiny droplets of intelligence
Acting as a cog
Still waters run deep

— The End —
