A shot of his love makes me wild,
spinning, spinning, spinning
like the unknown child
I spin, until I can't no more
coming down
, I fall to the floor
a shot of his love, it makes me wild
spinning, spinning, I can't be still
spinning out, I love the thrill
a shot of his love makes me wild,
singing his blues, like
the unseen child

i recall
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
I recall all the roads, but never
the destinations
the last stop on the train, the one often forgotten
the last call in the bar, when the bartender looks at me
with those eyes- those eyes, you know the ones
forlorn, as if I won't have nowhere to go
but he doesn't know that there is nowhere
to go, but everywhere
the last dance before he says goodbye,
the last song on the jukebox often skipped,
the wind blowing us apart in the early winter,
the trees decaying
the poetry pumping in my veins, pouring words onto
the page from some day I can't quite remember
I recall all the roads,
but never the destinations

vampiric energy
Samantha Cunha Jan 2019
Vampiric energy
drains
my
synergy
Dark moon
howlin
night time
is an enemy
for it is
in the dusk
my mind wanders
drowning in
dark thoughts
& ponders

in the glint of
his wandering, malevolent
eyes, I see hope and light
casting out the darkest
of nights,
and maybe I am a fool
for seeing love where
hate boils over,
and seeing peace
where chaos resides

We're all addicts
Samantha Cunha Jan 2019
Take your false
sense of superiority
elsewhere
for we are
all addicts
in this consumer
culture
you aren't any more wise
than the man with a needle
in his vein
we
are
all going
through some
sort
of
pain
so tell me once
more
with an upturned nose
as you glue your
devoid eyes
at your phone
how you are better
than
the addict

Magic words
sacred beings
nothing isn't
everything is

hidden
in the
open

fall up, fall
down, fall
all around


dull as day
alive
as night

driftwood
drifting
away, slowly
violently

we are one,
we are
apart

once again
I sat on the edge
of desire
sat much too
close
to the fire
flames
ablaze
in the blurry
haze
of lust & tumult

The rain amidst my window pane
there's a storm brewing within
my heavy eyes reflect upon
a moment lost
within some sort
of world of another,
a dream of another
what was never truly can be
what wasn't shall not,
for it was as it needed

laughing mad
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
laughing mad,
like lost children in the night
running wild through the smoke
obstructing our sight
when the black ravens call for us to follow,
we mustn't think twice
for freedom comes only
to those who roll the dice

the vessel which
guides the boat

Full moon
vast, glowing, radiant,
hues of midnight blue
embody your
being, as you
speak to me
in riddles
fiddling my mind
one home,
one love,
one me
was never
a comfort to call mine

Under the
moon, I'm split
in two

How far I've come,
how far I've gone,
are two measures of time
I can't grasp, for what is time?
An illusionary clock,
attempting to grip you,
pull you in, and bring
you closer to death,
well I refuse to abide,
so where I've been
and where I'm going
collide like two erratic waves in the sea,
don't you see?
how far I've come,
and how far I've gone

the unknown poet
hidden behind bottles of wine
or drowning in caffeine at the local
coffee shop,
the most magical of days
are the ones in which I find the
right words, they drip from my lips
like sweet grapes on a vine
entangling me,
rooting  me to the earth,
for god knows
once I drift into the
ethers,
I may never come down

unrequited love
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
Unrequited love, my
oldest, longest, and dearest
of friends
We meet once again,
where the bend
curves, like the shape
of my body illuminated
by the moonlit shore,
you're grasping me tightly
oh, unrequited love
you sing me a twisted melody as I lull to sleep
you hide in the shadows ready to grasp me once more
unrequited love, please let me go!
unrequited love, no, never let me go
we meet again
at the tides in the erratic sea
and the waves wash over
you and me, washing
our sins into the morning rise
and once again, we bid goodbye

What isn't meant for you
will never truly be yours
It will slip through
the fingers
of a grasp
much too tight
for darling don't you
see
there is something
else in store

universal flow
Samantha Cunha Jan 2020
Down the road,
the river
escapes
me as it
no longer flowed

When it comes,
it comes
when it
goes, it goes
embrace
the universal flow



I bid it farewell
down the road
the river
no longer
flowed
when it comes,
it comes
when it goes,
it goes
that's just
the universal
flow

Records strewn
upon a wooden floor,
your eyes sparkle
in the iridescent lights

Hands woven
by fate, by time,
by presence

The sun peaks
through my window pane,
the day has brought us
together.
this moment is all we have

if time was kinder,
slower,
if clocks ticked
in our favor,
this moment
may still exist.

Yesterday, I dreamt
of you in the dawn
of my heart, beating
vermillion red, my hands
shaking and cold.

Today, I dream of me
my mind clear, and open
as I wash the past
from my body,
and seek the day
in all it's beauty

will the sun rise
again
yes
will the moon rise the tides again

will the afternoon sway into
the evening
yes
will the heart bleed vermillion drops
onto a page, exploding into a million
words which expose the human condition of
longing
yes

All we have
is now

become what you
are, before
they told you
whom you're
supposed to be

universal lucidity
shines thru me, and
sets my soul on fire

eyes level to the horizon
sun sets on the dawn
of our gilded love

all we have
is now

I rest my head on the birds,

free from who we've been,
free from who we are
we fly into the ethers

Oasis in cloudy
nights
when heaven rains
down upon our skin,
renewing
us, as we
shed our skin
we shed our sins
The holy

watches
my strings
when I come
undone,
like the perfect
storm of
sorrow and rage,
rain down on us
in this new age

pain
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
pain transcends space and time,
for it takes a new form, takes over a new body
latches onto a new vessel
like the ship which rides

There's a path in
the garden
where we came
from

and I long to feel your
blues

Now I walk
the path alone
& my feet turn
red

My dream is gone
and the days
are wicked
& long

Searching for
the higher realms
wild maned lovers
I'm a fool on the
journey,
don't bound
me to your chains

In a realm where nothing is as it seems,
and the dreamer always dreams
the mystical moon is guiding
me through the doors which
once closed shut, now they are swung wide open
The forbidden fruit tastes sweet
the poison tastes like cinnamon
the vines grow downward into the roots
and the sun rises backwards

— The End —
