A Lord's Fraud Grace
MC Escano Apr 2023
Lord knocks at the family of four
sensing the needy void
a grace hopes to cure
and fill light to its darkness
that almost devours the other three
for its life-taking shadow

A veil of moonlight uncovers
Lord's worn in tanned and dreads
Together his lady angel
carrying bags of white powder
looking around for space
separated, weighed and fed the void

Led the lord to a room
spacious and humid,
no other stuff but
a static television sound
no moving air
powders remain
let the cure runs thru the house
of juvenile and the lost

Goodbye days are waving
to the lost's relative three
A vast and lonesome emptiness
Hits the face and broke a bridge
Of trust and a second chance

A Lord's fraud grace
put the four
floating in pitch black water
sets the powdered metal
and spark from their eyes
shines through
the soul and life
were almost taken
if the wall didn't catch
the bullet
from the drug lord's blessing.
A haunted memory together with my two siblings as I couldn't imagine we're still breathing.

Pencil
MC Escano Apr 2019
Made of finest wood
Reshaped - sharpened into perfect one

Holding this stick of wisdom
Its colorlessness speaks

Tracing the marks
Letter of death
Reconstructed uncountable times
Erased words of mime
This work must be blinded
For this pencil sharpened many times

Could I leave marks in permanent
Nor could I not leave
The world with truth unsaid?
#change #pencil #unfathomable #permanence

Abyss
MC Escano Jan 2019
All beyond reaches of our own
Stretch of sea, land of the deep
In deathly still waves
Carried the weight of prophecy

Circumnavigating ---
Wrecked ship, so as I
Syphoned by the time

Pitch black in heart of sea
In this river of abyss, wake of sorrow
Darkness shrouds our being

Colors of my soul stolen
Fading, further and farther
From my spirit
Drowning into your darkness

As I gaze into abyss
And gaze upon mine
See no reflection
But drowned to your eyes
It's a wrecked persona who let himself find his love in the midst of sea with his shipwreck, so is he. It's about facing the truth that love cannot be found, it finds you.

Shimmer
MC Escano Sep 2018
Stellar mistreatment, meltdown; went down
Spectrum gushing, waving ocean
Exploring deplorable nether regions galore
Roots uprising, doubling be-headings

It's profound!
On the grounds of treason
The sound of suffering
The soul of season

Shimmer and I, be one
Till it gets to my guts
Blurting, hurting needs the new one
Replicating, replacing me dust to sun

Now, whole life turned into pun
Perfect one knows no one
As I lay as a stardust, have none
Cosmic wind blew and now begone

Radiance
MC Escano Sep 2018
Constellations, covalent bonds
Are the foundations
I'm built on

The galaxy is full
Of my sparkling
Molecular compounds
As I circumnavigate both

They are one in the same,
The universe
My nerves and my veins

And I will pass later on,
my dilator;
Looking forward to see
For what I was in dark seer
there with you again
Until the lights in its veer

The New Visions
MC Escano May 2018
Many days without a muse, whatever shall I do?
Too long away from heart and sans a point of view
The sunrise has been glorious as the sunset strikes me numb.
Not mourning our final screams into censorship
And strike a chord that gives a voice to verses now in me.

I close my eyes and see much more than sight can ever see.
Colors swirl behind my lids and rainbows, vividly.
Butterflies, a ship of clouds glides by
Howling in the wilderness breaking through the sky
Hanging like a scimitar suspended in the sky,
As mind is far more visual into an endless four walls still sight.

Whispering blues, the height within
A troublesome mind, trampling songs from afar
Struggling to breathe, I lie waiting not to.
Thoughts are embedded tightly in a jar
To endless voices mock me; crush, break me
But I refuse to listen a strength rises
Something I wouldn't have believed
And now I was ready to fight those dementia.
I knew I wasn't alone.

If I could love the limping ugly afraid part of me
That I drag through the mud and thorns
If I could let the transparent clawing, screaming silhouette speak
Instead of kicking it into the utmost peak
If I could put my deepest human essence onto paper for everyone to see

Then.
Then, let these new visions be free.
I don't know what I make. and I know that I'm a bad writer with these scrambled thoughts. Forgive me. :(

Endpoint
MC Escano Mar 2018
Everyone searches
never everyone finds
Everyone fights
never everyone survives
This was not never ending
Cause we're both too young
To give into forever
Trying to fit a larger than life figure.

You surely are mistaken
You've never felt love
Let me tell you why
It's just a fantasy
You're running on empty
And empty is all you can give.

I never belonged in you
I'm just a chapter that's about to end
Or maybe not a chapter at all
Leaving the hurt behind
But you are a closed chapter
The book I could not complete.

Your invisible care left me cold
Closed to the universe around you
Begging to be seen through your eyes
Yet your eyes remained closed
As did your heart.

For I am nothing and so is my heart
Feeling the emptiness' burst
In almost every moment
Leaving me in broken peace
Shattered the master piece
Take my heart
For it was not mine anymore
Let me be just empty
Cold, dark, numb and closed.

Oblivion
MC Escano Mar 2018
You left me oblivious
We don't notice the seconds
ticking by
Or the one falling leaf
Or breaking heart
Or millions of teary eyes.
We don't notice the feet shuffling by
Or the words we can't hear.
We are oblivious to love.
There is someone out there,
Who, like you, is searching
And waiting for the one second
Where the oblivion stops.
A black hole eats me up
Swallowing me whole
Memories of me fading
Like I never existed at all.
Every thin strip of me
Erased in this world
I am nothing now but a wanderer
With no heart and soul.

He Walked Away
MC Escano Mar 2018
He doubted me
Then he shouted at me
He blamed me for
No reason
And told me I change
Like season
The person who loved me
Like there was no other
Left my side for another
He said I was expecting
Too much
With kid like attitude as such
This was not a valid reason
To break up like this
But it was evident that
He would never miss me
Of course, as the other
Had taken over my lover
My place in his heart
Was no longer his part
He spilled out my love
And let it drown off like
A helpless dove
When I pleaded with sorry
He said not to worry
As some other will fill in
His absence in my life
Upon my broken heart
He left me shattered
To him,
I no longer mattered
He has found a new bloom
That scented his room
Once owned
Now disowned!

He
MC Escano Mar 2018
He
He feels everything too deeply
He takes too much to heart
He’s not always logical, rational, shallow –
He feels first, think second

He’s lonely, but he seems happy
He’s tired, but he moves forward
He’s down, but he doesn’t drown
He’s hopeless, but he’s not careless

They say he’s good looking, but he feels ugly
They say he’s smart, but he feels dumb
They say he’s talented, but he feels incompetent
They say he’s strong, but he feels weak

His mind refuses to stop analyzing, creating, processing –
His trust comes slow
He has no one, but he isn’t gone
And that he, is me.

The Core Is Dark
MC Escano Mar 2018
I haven’t come home in a century or more,
According to my soul calendar
But I’ve gained some perspective with time.

Truth is an old hat that fits your head
When the many detours of life have been taken
And you were left by yourself on the road
Facing the thorns of the lack of belief.

I wished I was there, at the funeral of reason
With a bouquet of lilies in my hand
And a meaningful goodbye on my lips
Gaining some perspectives on higher love,
Tongue out, tasting the cold air of mourn
Setting my eyes on the line of the horizon,
Ready to comprehend the world again.

But I always knew the core was dark,
Even though the span of day full of light,
I always knew, it wouldn’t be that simple
To grab the truth with a slippery heart.

The Butterfly Effect
MC Escano Jun 2017
When life feels suspended by a delicate thread
Change is inevitable

I sometimes feel stifled
Tightly constricted
Like a chrysalis
Struggling against transformation

I oppose the transition
And need more time to adapt
Today
A butterfly tapped against my window
Like change asking to come in

If I can comply with Grace
Maybe I too can transcend
And withstand the butterfly effect

Into Pieces
MC Escano Jun 2017
Shattered
Falling too quickly,
Too sudden,
And too hard.

I trusted you, let you in,
And gave you all the weapons.
Everything you need to catch me or destroy me.

I opened up my heart,
Trusting that you would hold it,
Hold it and keep it warm, like how you hold my hands everyday without a fail - But you just reminded me why things break when they fall.

You just got my heart and ripped it out.
Left me feeling empty, ******, and bad about myself.
Letting me fall but without you on the other end,
leaving me broken and shattered.

Worthless
MC Escano Jun 2017
I think I finally understand what it means to feel.

My thoughts are killing me
My dreams are haunting me
My body is covered with hundreds of scars

Because I've done nothing but build you up by tearing myself down.

My eyes are liars and so us my mouth
My body disgusts me and I'm repulsive to myself

I'm worthless it's easy to see
And it's bull-****.

— The End —
