We died a million times
beneath the destructive
celestial bodies.

You, reborn with a
glint in your eyes & the vast,
cosmic darkness
carried only by
the heavy nights.

We died a million
times, what's
another night?

Me, reborn with haunted
eyes

we died a million
times, what's another night?
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
Destruct me , so I can be reborn
chain me to your labyrinth,
tie my noose when I hang too loose,
when I am compassless,
my heart
nowhere bound
let the flames engulf my mind,
I will watch the ring of fire with ease,
I will walk the road paved with blood,
for this transient
town hasn't seen my wild eyes on the map,
and this transient heart
hasn't seen your love in my dreams,
so destruct me fully,
so I can be reborn.
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
convention
ridden
crimson lips
speak words of bore
I have heard
it all before

A sense of
utmost entitlement;
a being so impure
lacking the desire
to stir
the melting ***
for life
handed you it all
never once had to fall
into the abyss
of emotional pain
no disorder
no disdain
deep in
the lies of society
you will remain

His aura
was vermillion
electric
red
His hands crushed
a cigarette
stained with my
bright red
lips
I wore the color
in hopes
he would stay
amused
but deep down
I knew
I was serene
calm,
and
utterly blue
Samantha Cunha Feb 2020
There's a red thread
woven between us,
tethering us
to one another

The voice of high
heavens ring
in an unfamiliar
ear, telling me
to stay right here.

In this transient life,
all there is
is right now
in another life,
we may get it right
until then,
we lay here our bodies
strewn upon the ethers

Lights dazzle

Samantha Cunha Feb 2020
I see myself in the budding flower
at high noon
I see myself in the broken glass
I spilled too soon
I see myself in the stranger lounging
in shades of blue
I see myself  all around me
I see myself in you
Samantha Cunha Dec 2018
starry eyed gaze
wanders into
the
starry eyed haze
seeking clarity
such a murky night
I pray to you
pray for you
Miles apart
Oceans away
***** desire
strikes me
hits me
like lightning
dark
thoughts
takes over
the
higher power
trying to stop me
One again, I am alone
Once again, I am on my own
I am completely in the darkness
The relapse has begun
Samantha Cunha Aug 2021
There is a  slight
remnant of light
peaking through the evading
daytime glow, it casts
a shadow on your iris,
blue & cold.

There is a remnant
of  summer
winds in the cool breeze,
swaying us into
some decadent
daydream.

There is a remnant
And shadow  of
you in my tree lined
view, floating away,
like
you  always do.

So surreal and evading,
Blowing, never remaining,
so surreal and fading,

Like the remnants of
Light, like the remnants
Of our last
Goodbye.
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
narrative  shifts
mind sifts
crimson blood
trickles & drips
veiny arm
selfish harm
guilt plagues
a
spotty mind
sleepless nights
sacred words
with
the divine
seeking answers
for me
wicked ways
asleep in realms
physically awake
for days
moving backwards
in
quantum leaps
remorse
settles in
it seeps
Samantha Cunha Apr 2020
Requiem
choir of voices
echo into the endless nights
on a lonely road void of light

Sing to me an unknown
verse to an unknown choir
and ring to the heavens
truth of our mad existence

Life is ephemeral
The ghost flowers
know this as
their only truth
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
The darkness still resides,
and I visit it from time to time
but I no longer live there,
so address your letters
elsewhere
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
A revolution
is comin'
over the peak,
through the valley of truth
we stand tall,
firm, and heavenly
in our youth
a revolution is a
comin'
stand tall and near,
for when you
beck and call,
I'll be right here
there's a new age comin
I see it through my
rear view mirror,
when the white horses
ride through the storm,
I'll be right here
arms open, ready to steer

We were riding high
amongst the winds
of a midnight breeze
It was you &I
him & me
for
In the illusion of time,
It must be seen
all importance
Lies in
fleeting moments
where one is
free
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
I walked through
the evading rings of fire
with bones of steel
and eyes of tire
for it was nothing
new
Samantha Cunha May 2020
Like the embers
of a million forrest
fires, I
am dying
slowly and rising higher
while the phoenix
takes my palm
and leads me into
the abyss

Like the embers, I ignite
with solemn mysticism
which guides me higher

With tainted blood,
and the running water
from an overflowing
flood
With a ***** flower
which refuses to bud,
I rise again
Samantha Cunha Sep 2021
The road to paradise
Is long & worn

Cool wind sways me
to dark blue
Untethered dreams,
You left me here
With
Nothing but
tattered seams

Unraveled
And torn .

Freedoms Shores
Run to me,

Long drives to
nowhere
Midnight rises
slow, and
Eerie.

You feel me there
In the air

I am scattered
All along ,
Amongst
Your multitudes,
I am everywhere.

The road to paradise

Is long
And worn.


The blue wind sways me
You left
Me forlorn.
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
The West is calling me home,
the wind is blowing me north,
the tides are rolling me east,
there's a home within the ebb
and flow, the constant change
I'm a rolling stone

White lace
lines my porcelain
thighs
Gently
submerged
into the
bed of roses
feel the thorns
invigorate my
mind which
wanders
to visions,dreams
of crimson blood
dripping
ever so perfectly
onto the lace
a keen needle
filled with poison
entering the bloodstream
Samantha Cunha Jun 2020
I was once a delicate
rose
until your thorn
the ravaging of my body
you left me bruised and torn
The scorn of night
and endless dark
void of light

Blood trickled
down my legs like dripping
juice from a rotten peach

The omens of
the distraught midnight beach



& the only witness
of that night
is the void within
and the stars in the sky

they glitter and gleam
in hopes I carry on
even when
it all went wrong
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
raw, rough diamonds
still shine bright
the lullaby of dire,
dark dreams
still sing to me in the
night
the bluebird saw
with crystal clear sight,
and knows the unknown
without any fright,
for raw, rough diamonds
still shine shine bright
Samantha Cunha Mar 2021
You made me feel like
I was easy to forget
Like loose change blowing
in the santa ana winds,
or summer daydreams
with no roots in the winter shift
of season.

You made me feel like
my body was a vessel
for your pleasure,
not a temple, nor
religion, no sacred space,
no worship in sight.

You made me feel like I was a dream,
a sweet gentle
whisper in the breeze, a melody lost
on the tip of your tongue,
easy to forget.

Was I that easy to forget?
Or does my sweet sound reverberate
back around
Samantha Cunha Feb 2021
I was born a seeker.
A seeker
Of the darkness, a seeker of the supernatural
Light reflecting a heavenly glow, turning
On slow, in the Los Angeles
Mist of summer.

I rode the bus to places unknown, longing,
And searching for a home, looking for something
Larger- bigger than us, something which couldn’t
Be grasped in my fingertips.

I was seeking something which couldn’t be swayed
By the languid winds, a feeling, a place
I dreamed of once on a cold, barren night,

I was born a seeker, so I looked above
For the answers in the celestial bodies,
The twinkling stars in the skies or
The twinkling stars in some strangers' eyes.

I climbed the mountains, and fell just
As hard as I rose. I searched for the vastness
In ancient poetry and prose

I was burned by forest fires,
And burned by my own untamed desires,
Wild under a blue moon,
Hoping to find a feeling
Which would make me swoon.

I was born a seeker, and to this day,
I am not quite sure
What I was hoping to find.
Samantha Cunha Feb 2019
Seeking the answers
from strangers delight
in the dead silence
of the night
They led me
on a dangerous
course
eyes closed
driving full force
for how could
I have been so
naive
when
the answer
always
lies
within
me
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Self fulfilling prophet
master of none
would you move towards the sun
& far away from
the enticing mystical moon
where lies are told
the angelic mind
innocent eye
gal of the night
does swoon
Oh self fulfilling prophet
master of none
have faith for the morning sun
will rise
& the illusions
of the night
will disperse
Then the encompassing light
will immerse
into your life
so let there be light

The wind in my sails
raise high, and set me
free into the night
the lonely captain
bids me goodbye,
and allows me steer
with all my might
the azure crystal water
treads upon my
glistenin eyes
for I see the horizon
and the mountains behind
already trekked, the storm
is clear

the wind , the sea
the midnight breeze
gets me down on my
******, bruises knees
for I say a prayer
into the abyss-
and wish, and wish
for the past to
set free
as I ride high,
I ride high
oh yes, I ride high
i kiss the moon, kiss the stars
and I bid my past goodbye

The murky skies
cleared
the view from heaven

I trekked
the storm
many a years

The shore comes crashing
upon the waves of my mind
when I sit still for long
enough, I can reach
the divine

Silence
silence
meditation
Samantha Cunha May 2020
There's a violence
amidst the white noise
Open sky
white, vast, and daunting
My eyes are shut and I can no longer
feel your presence

There is a loss of god
in my soul, and an empty
void which only expands
the more I fill
it

The nights melt into
the days like candle wax
and I'm dripping, dripping, dripping
melting, I am melting

Violence amidst the silence
as I seek the long, winded road
leading nowhere in particular
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
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

Some mornings,
I awaken with
speckled
eyes of hope
as the sun brims
into
my
veins
pumping inspiration
into my stream
& the feeling
that I am no longer
bound to your chains
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
lost
fame

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
Samantha Cunha Oct 2018
The
knowing has not begun
& 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
has yet
to sprung

The winds of change

A starry eyed gaze
catapults his mind

into a craze
magic floats

We emerge from stardust,
thrown into this world of material
existence

Star seed origins, born
of the skies, the stars
pumping through
our golden, electric veins

Some mornings, I awaken
with speckled eyes of hope
and memories from the origins
we emerge.

A summer Hymm falls
from the heavens amongst a
spectacular wind.

A summer hymm
drops and simmers into
the burning red sea
parting you and me
into the night

Burning us like stars
which dazzle on the
most maleficent night

let the gods speak
through you
Don't hold back

Let the gods speak
to you

Dont hold back

I wrote you a haiku
In summer rain

All you brought

Was dampened pages
&
pain.
Samantha Cunha Oct 2021
Wild flowers dancing
in my fields
I no longer sway,


No more long flowery dresses
Or lilac perfume
scents.

I lie still.

I no longer drive
The untouched roads
Paved with gold.

I no longer sway.
I no longer move at any distant
Beat. I no longer move
At any sensation in my feet.

Wild flowers dance

in my fields
I lie still.
