Soul on fire
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
My soul
is on
fire
with hellish
intent
burning
& yearning
in the
land of
lost
angels;
lost
dreams
I
no longer
glisten
nor gleam
solace
in
flames;
echoes
of

Crestfallen
gaze
allures
the man
of

ways

Two broken
halves
& hearts
magnetized to
the

Oh,
What a shame

The

soon
shall
bring
an enticing
zing
&

never follow the muse
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
I  warn
the lost soul
solemn on
the winding
road
for he
mustn't
follow
the muse

I speak
*****
syllables
of truth
and
proclaim
the muse
is fickle
Selfish
& wanders
lost
seeks
yet
never sought

You will
awake
in a field
of
alluring
roses
a
snake
slithering
in the
garden
with a
venomous
bite
& with a
rush
so enticing
yet deadly

The muse
Is a
femme fatale
an alluring
Temptress
of the night
seeking the
tortured
artist
like you
& I

Black & white dream
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Your silence

Speaks volumes

Non existent

Music to my ears

We are not vibrating

At a similar frequency

For we are oceans apart

Miles away

I dream in bright electric colors

You dream in black and white

Grey tones

Highlight your mind

Purple hues electrify mine

I sparkle, gleam, glean

My love, you barely shine

Revealed to me

is
strange indeed
All will
grow soon

Masochistic spotty mind
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Oh masochistic spotty mind,
Will you ever unwind?
The rose scented pillow allows comfort
for my heavy burdens
I slowly
drift into the other realms
An eloquent finger
in my misty dream
closes my eyes with force
This same finger shushes
my mind into a still state of silene
Pure, blissful silence
At last I am in the
freedomland
The dream state
Nirvana
Has been reached

Forbidden fruit

Tasted sweet

Guiding me

Into the realm

Foggy dreams

Nothing was

What

The same

Grazing

Leading me

Was also cursing

beating me

Smoky quartz

Sporadic Words
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Sporadic words

Flow out endlessly

My mind isn’t still

Your heart isn’t whole

A beautiful mind is no less

Even when broken

Into a million pieces

Those pieces still sparkle

They still shine bright

I tried the crooked path

My feet got chained

Now I walk towards the light

The all encompassing

light

Your touch electrified me

It hurt

But it propelled me

to seek higher realms

Perk the ears
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Perked up ears

Let the fears

Drift away
drift away

The intuition

Of the gods above

The angels above

It speaks through you

Yes

It speaks to you

Let it flow

Past the logic

Into the heart

It fills the heart

Then it overflows

It pours out

Into the universe

Trust that intuition

Listen close

Listen close

Perk those ears

Silver tongues
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Silver tongued

Men in power

Shush the women

And force them to cower

Speaking their truth

Is seen as uncouth

They are dubiously

Asked for proof


In unsettling times

The darkest manifestation of evil

Brings forth

Political upheaval

Never silence

Never shush

For

A woman’s proclaim

Is always enough

Looming purge
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
The ocean breeze
no longer
carries
my worries
away
I want to be
there
here
I will stay

Lovely hours
not ahead
Chaotic
Mind full
of
dread

Clouds looming
Darkness has emerged
now comes the hour
of the purge

Purge my worries,
purge my sorrows
Empty mind
can you fill these hollows
Inspiration fleets
from my palms
I tried to grasp it
but it can't stay long

Chambers of Gold
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
My chambers of gold
aren’t so stable anymore
The oasis in which I used to escape
has crumbled to the floor
Those fallen hopes, desires, and dreams
Have taken an immense toll
I’m torn at the seams
I have fallen into the depths
of the black ocean
Waves pulls me under
causes quite a commotion

This chaotic turmoil feels comfortable to me
Peaceful times have yet to set me free
I drift deeper into the other realms
These alternative realities overwhelm
My mind and soul
but reality is far far away
It’s a distant galaxy so here I will stay

What is fated to be will always come around
The cosmic understanding can always be found
Duality of the light and the dark
Here I discover newfound desires and dreams
Which aren’t so stark

Divine timing
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Wandering gaze
guided to the burn
of the flame
drawn to it
like a moth
oh, what a shame

For it burns slow
so very slow
a reminder
of his
false light
false glow

Sometimes
inherent pain
comes &
it comes slow

A higher purpose
is at play
of this I know
Divine timing
intervenes
End result
justifying the means


cross the borders
into the distant leading lines
I feel the birds
chirp my mind
into the state of still
Leaving you behind is a battle
one that’s uphill

Ode to the past
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Glowing angel
amongst
the dark
the evil
mind &  heart
in the utmost
dishevel

I floated along
those pitch black streets
Feelings of
never-ending sorrow
& defeat

A place I no longer
call home
Everyone dimmed
nobody shone

For I rose above
the crumbling ashes
Like a phoenix
who lit the matches

To find there is more
to be sought after
Then chasing the
unattainable high
Adrenaline  hits so hard
it make you sigh
darkest of paths
morals awry

I look for serenity
in other ways
now
Found another home
anyhow
Couldn’t linger on
I had to go
I think of this place often
I hope you know

Let me be
your messy muse
I’ll light the
inspirational fire
then
let the fuse
burn bright
& fast
while
knowing
we shall not
last
Can't slow down
Driving quite fast

The joy
& the disdain
of being so young
The love
& the pain
Has yet to come

The beauty
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
The beauty is in the mess of it all
the purest moments
unravel
when ones treacherous walls
begin to fall

The source isn't angelic or heavenly
one can seem devilish or deadly
light emerges from the darkest of landscapes
one must find their faith
for the glowing ones
are dark glittering souls
Whom once fell down the depths
of a never-ending black hole

Looks deceive those blinded by the all encompassing white light
One must not be scared, one must let go of the fright

Appreciate the gloomy hours
dance in the heaviest of showers
inhale the scent emerging
from the rarest of flowers
For the beauty is in
the mess of it all

The not so strange stranger
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
I met a man
as strange as could be
trudging along
the
illuminated street

He reminisced
for the days
he would
part the gold sea
when his eyes glistened
for a girl
whom looked like me

His words
quite eclectic
&  electric
Eloquent indeed

His eyes
Pure & Sweet

Others may proclaim
Danger ensues
But darling I knew
The esoteric man
Was no different
From me

The fall of the fall
Samantha Cunha Oct 2018
The fall time
Electrifies my mind
Crystal clear visions
Blue streams of water
Pour down gently ;
Quickly

The past worries
Lay heavy
In my head
As i lay in my
Silky sheeted
Bed
Memories
Of dread
Seem to slip further away

The dark times
Have turned into
Gold mines
Of inspiration

It flows in my veins
It trickles
in slowly
The dark abyss
Is now amiss
My flame of fire
burns higher & higher

Fall time
Rebirth
Hit me now
This time
It won’t hurt

Love is not

win
nor the
darkening of the shine
&

For
that is lust

the promise
of lust
In a matter
of time
it will ignite
& then

At the golden sea

When the rain does shower

Far away

Dim the universal shine
Light and serenity
Please stay

Bleak clouds
Samantha Cunha Oct 2018
Bleak clouds
& fortune
hovered
around
the star-studded town


I was lifted high
then propelled far down
into the depths
of eternal despair


A sickening flair
for the dramatics
& the addicts

The angels summoned you
To illuminate my path
&
Guide me on track

I may reminisce
on the days of black
When my mind
was out of whack
hands grasping
a bottle of jack

But I can not
& will not
go back

Walk the path alone
Samantha Cunha Oct 2018
Dream worlds
are dangerous
for the tortured soul

A captivating space
for a femme fatale
With a gaping
black hole
In her heart
& her mind

Trouble may diminish
But it comes back around
I do find

So
I’ll walk the path
Even if alone

I walked the line
It wasted my time
It dimmed my shine

I'll walk the path
I’ll do it alone

& Darling
Spring has
not sprung
So embody the presence
Of the winter sun

Let go
Of illusionary
control
Instead embrace
The eb
& the flow

Let the
Mysteries
Unravel
Themselves


Let your heart strings
Unravel
Broken
But
Beautiful
Nonetheless
For they will come
together again

Patience my love,
be less sharp with the tongue
For spring

Sober Somber No longer
Samantha Cunha Oct 2018
Venom

Drips slowly

Musky stream

Light & airy

Dizzying dream

Time

Ceases to exist

With this twisted

Fate

Purity is amiss

Logical thoughts

Dissolve like mist

Sunken eyed glaze

Clenching of the fist

China white

& Heart of black

Lay me gently

Into a bed of roses

Then let the thorn

Cut me deep

Blurry haze

Toss & turn

Erratic sleep

Sober somber

Is no longer

Mind of wit

In a fit

For sober somber

is no longer

— The End —
