My open wings
Sombro Dec 2014
Grow. Chest, grow.
Swallow more hearts
I’ve pumped enough syrup
Sick and sweet
Swallow all the hearts

Show a little show
Fold your walls like wings
Chambers are as chambers bare
Taste of tale
Fold your walls to wings.

Phantom
Sombro Dec 2014
A bit of phantom dreaming
A haunting phantom free
A dreary phantom morning
A toil of phantomy

A rock of phantom learning
A leaf of phantom tree
I find my phantom yearning
A phantom just for me

The dance
Sombro Dec 2014
He grows on me
His branch and tree
A stretched out mist
Pet villainy

My rosy friend
My sweet defend
You’re not my mind
It cannot end

How touched we are
To outshine a star
Beneath the stream
The Venom tar

Dance along
My dance, my song
A body weave
Of threads so long

Now check my grip
Now blush my lip
We’re friends so now
Well water sip

Seeing you
Sombro Dec 2014
I can still see
The liquid lust
Of your breath
I can tell
The heaving must
Of your breast
I can hear
The panting pangs
Of another
When you’re near
I need only
To recover

Give me your
Granted silence
Of some truth
Give me your
Dew eyes
Bitten tooth
We are now
So apart
And so near
How I wish
How I wish
You were here

Now the death
Now the death of ourselves
Now each other
Is a never she sells
We are dying
As my memory dies
Keep my crying
He who still sees
You still cries.

Giddy Drinky
Sombro Dec 2014
Let’s make a joke
You and I
About the giddy drinky
About those funny times

You started drowning
And brought up to breath
Where were your children?
Who witnessed that horror?

Let’s chuckle
You lost a little liquid
In your veins
Well so did he
And I saw it

You may have toppled
And built yourself
But his pillars shattered
And I saw

Borrowed senses?
His were gone
Wobbling walking?
He lost his legs
And I saw

What a funny joke
Make it again
And I’ll listen
Because I saw

The Wasp
Sombro Dec 2014
She slipped me a wasp
While she slipped me a kiss
The wings on her lips
Beat the air of my bliss

The dream of her hair
Of her mock as she fled
I jolted awake
But the wasp was not dead

It stabbed in my throat
Though broken by nature
I loved her, but that
I said not stings later

The String
Sombro Dec 2014
Pick a note
Any note
Watch it tremble
Shiver like a songbird’s wings

Wailing through your fingers
An echo of your pick
Crashing through the realms
Of the different notes to choose

Take it down
Pull it up
And sing
Sing like a shivering string

White
Sombro Dec 2014
White figure on me
Heavy like clouded panes
Smudged by me
But self-cleaning

White ghost sinking into
My muddy chest
The night takes the sun
The cloud is now black

But still it is so wet
Soaking my skin in a deep
In a deep you
Cloudy white is my favourite white

My pallet is now white
Dipping my brush
It’s wet
And now it’s white too

Dream 2
Sombro Dec 2014
He saw me sleep
Blood flow from the mind
And fumes from the eyes
He clattered and ground
His gears

His grim fermented
Circuits and wires
Fusing within
A core of metal droplets

I shot up
Blown from my slumber
His bright stare in slate
Wouldn’t fade, but
Burned in my eyes

I shook and sweated
As he could not
That foul machine
Clatters on.

For my son
Sombro Oct 2013
Sweet lady with our sweeter son
read to the boy in bed
have words of wisdom, sage and true
dance in his sleepy head
for in the sky sweet child and I
will paint a poet's dream
and though the day
will make its way
our stars will always gleam

Golden landscapes
Sombro Jun 2013
Golden landscape passing by
Lays a curse upon my eye
For golden landscapes never should
Be gazed upon then gone for good

A honeyed sun
A moonlit plain
Should never not be seen again

For rain to pain
Or sun on plain
Both make a sight which shan’t remain

And train through plain
Shows great disdain
For golden glows in poet’s brain

Too quick the trip
Barely a nip
I wish to see the world unstripped

Take me there
To landscapes where
I’ll sit and live life’s golden share

For the tracks go on
But beauty remains
Why not I too?
Because the trains.

— The End —
