Corner
Drusila Nov 2020
Stay in the corner of my life,
Shed light to my somber hours
Let me taste your mint-flavored candy
from the corner of your mouth

Stay in the corner of my mind
Where thoughts run wild while spring blooms
The almost fading remembrance of us resurfaces


Oh, sweet moment!
In that tiny corner of your room where you stay
Wash away all clothes smelling of you
Give back all the hopes we ever had of us

But that tiny corner, I know you'll always remember
So you forever stay in the corner of my life.
I can't believe it has been almost a year since I last updated my page. I stopped writing as a coping mechanism for some life events. But I am finally feeling good.

Closer
Drusila Jan 2020
My own thoughts confuse me
But they make me want to be closer to myself
Not all spaces that accept you as truth take you as truth
Such a reckless existence
Our tragedies aren’t unique to us!
It has been a while. I stopped writing for a while thinking that it would help me figuring life out, but here I am again =)

The spiritual religiousless
Drusila Nov 2019
Entrapped inside liquor bottles
Paved with gold religion,
we turned dreams into empires
Puff puff pass,
High in dreams and low in fears
We are the new generation
Turn the commandments down
Because We know
We know
We **** know who we’re
Steaming because we’re never as young as we’re when living
Living in lights of heaven
Moving through the blazes of hell
We still know who we are!

Things I know
Drusila Nov 2019
I reminisce about the conversations I had yesterday
I reminisce about tomorrow, all those obliged conversations I know I won't like
I am so nostalgic
Why so?
Except when everything else is awfully quiet
My own knowledge is a self-distraction
And no point of views are allowed interjections
I reminisce about this melody
It always plays out in my head
Like a walking party
Such a quicksand!
The more I move the deeper I sink into myself
As time goes by, the more I understand personal growth. I now found myself more often than not needn't earphones to plug myself out.

Snotty noses
Drusila Sep 2019
Look out the window
Green meadows and fluttering butterflies
Happy Laughs on the horizons
But they are not in sight
When sitting on cushioned aluminum chairs,
Looking at tired eyes, asking if these people are also in transit
Without a direct line
Hovering in distant lands
Tears fall at the thought of leaving everything you know for everything you wanted
So you cry two weeks before
How can tears premium package be bought?!
In the package reads “better to cry before than later”
This was inspired by the very much present mindset of "catching flights not feelings" culture of nowadays.

How hard?
Drusila Sep 2019
I packed a bag full of summer
And I almost feel tempted cause you put our record on
Sliding your fingers through the clock in my back
How hard is it, to live with your own decisions?
I’m deep-rooted self-conceit
Dance, slow rock music and kiss me while we do it
Like a ******* dream, I’m living in
Whisper sweet nothings
Simply and purely to drive us insane
But what’s left after this passion?
Just questioning a few life occurrences.

I am
Drusila Jul 2019
In a green expanse,
I am the prolonged fall that never touches the ground
A bottomless pit

The most accurate painting ever made
Beautiful to the eye, tender to the touch,
Makes you feel everything
But nothing in it fills your comprehension

As a vision under the pale moonlight
A silhouette
Takes the shape of the reflected light

Life not yet lived
Wisdom not yet expressed
A beautiful song with only two melodic lines
A Kiss on the forehead with a bittersweet taste
I guess it's already Tuesday!!

Tunes in twenty-one
Drusila Jun 2019
Now that is character!
To encourage those qualities by her words
The very best of all time
The true story of whom won the age of twenty-one
Ooze character from every pore.
So magnificently exhibit loyalty, perseverance, and kindness
Not so much the men and women for their greatness
Best remembered are those who did not compromise
That fictional character that only the great know how to play
If you don't like them, I have others!
We usually talk about our feelings but how often do we talk about ourselves?

Accepted
Drusila Jun 2019
Noon and morning will not meet
But the sun and moon will swing
Tell me a tale in which flowers won’t bloom
Yet you’ll find them as glorious as spring

When being myself is as worthy as choosing yourself
The only thing you’re is all I wanted you to be

When being enough is no longer enough
What road do you take when you hear the soughing sea?
Most love is but acceptance

When being under the direct gaze of an ethereal light
You don’t need to see perfection but me
An undressed me like the sand grains in this beach
Look me in the eyes and appraise me as a minutia of this delicate world

Friend
Drusila May 2019
Tender lips carry a looming dilemma,
A pretense of excitement can’t forgery mask
Under false pretenses, I swam in a sienna-colored sea

In your deceit a cautionary tale
To not underestimate pale words
Imbued with the disillusionment of admission

A truth that although known never revealed
Does not much comfort offer
But today I rest, knowing that I've known thee more in myth than in our candor.

Tuesday
Drusila Apr 2019
The pains you give birth can never be unborn
Neither can they ever be revived
If you feed your somberest heeds, they will grow

Never mind how many times you ****, they will never go
Aspirations of joy, unmet
How could I turn this to gold?

Detract yourself
This will be over
Any minute now

Hurts
Drusila Apr 2019
It can’t be seen with naked eyes
My bare skin shows no signs
But something hurts.
I look around and take notice
I am the only fazed one
So I check the time,
How long more until I burst?
It’s so unoriginal of me to get the blues
Something hurts on the inside.
My hurt still pumps blood
My mind makes it fast paced
Maybe I find an empty cave
And turn this feeling inside out.
My heart’s throbbing, and I don’t know why
Yet my thoughts are not even racing
What it’s I don’t know,
Still hurts

Calm
Drusila Apr 2019
To live a truer life
I fancy quiet surroundings
To allow me the lull of my inmost thoughts

The sojourney longing has barely begun
For Your company to Keep
I kneel down and plead forward

Mercy on our souls living in a worldly world
Complacent feel when only my breathing I hear

Let's not rejoice in a darken solace
But in a rich, cloaked affection.

I found Peace
Rare contentment in adjoining my tomorrow
Repose I have found.
Do not permit other agonies

Your quiet disrupt
And when strifes erupt
My tomorrow is now much coeval
The sought peaceful living I entreat
It's Tuesday and usually, I either feel dull or anxious. It's still early in the week and there's so much to do & accomplish. I hope this poem soothes your soul as it does to mine.

In Search of a Love
Drusila Apr 2019
Lately, I have not loved
I have not loved anyone but myself.
The worry of wanting beyond oneself distresses me
It makes me act like a child in a world of grown expectation

Still, the look of his eyes made me no more than a little girl.
But the world is beyond playgrounds

And the pearl of my centerpiece
made me stand on my own ashes

There was no time nor pain in your house.
I wanted someone who asked me to never let go.
Not a spouse,
A full-time worshiper loved in part-time.

Once you were a given,
I’ve seen that I was the sun for my gloomy days
The sakura of my February spring
There were no more blurry lines from which to be rescued
and no longer giving what could be spared

Indeed I healed the heart I neglected when I left for you
And when it's cold outside and I need to be cherished
There’s no despair
It’s not love
It's only spoiling for an affair

Golden Touch
Drusila Apr 2019
The night is fallen on the East side
Withhold your breath all that stand in the cold
The threshold of peace, not all can afford
When Sitting on the eyes of the storm, the frosty auric slowly abide

Numb your senses, numb your feelings
B’cause tonight is the night of ruling kings
Could all this fortune be your bliss at last?
Or could your bliss your curse become?

Honey dripping from your mouth was my abundance
Instead, you chose among the capital sins
a life of mundane existence and beaming grins

Your hands move steady
But caresses run wild as our kisses dash unfeasibly
The need to attain the out of reach is the pay for pernicious gold.

The Tragedy Man
Drusila Mar 2019
Oh ... but you’re a tragedy!
Upon one glance you see,
only see darkness in his dark brown eyes,
He tries to conceal it

But certain truths cannot be denied

When I stumbled into him
The cold of his eyes slowly my ticker paralyzed
I would love him for most days
Ignorant of the grey that involved him

It wasn’t love expressed in the most loving way history has ever been told

But oh boy, oh boy
That man was a tragedy
He would freeze me in his embrace
And let go almost on my second last breath
Thirstily murmur the tenderest words poets ever spoken

Though it was only poetry if professed by him

The wildest spirit I ever knew
Couldn’t be borne by no carnal form
that would be taken in this life

My sweet sweet woe
Do not grow any fonder within me
I won’t say it was love, but I would love you until the sea creatures needn’t the ocean to survive

If it’s love, let me pursue it
If it isn’t love, let me ordeal it
And enjoy the most pleasurable suffering that no pains ever caused

This cloying woe I would endure for the next three lives, possibly more

Companion
Drusila Mar 2019
I always carry with me some rain in the pocket of my pants

To irrigate the yellow meadows of the paths I travel in this world
When the nights are not clear at daybreak
And its silence almost deafens me
I take a little rain out of my pocket
And your melody is my only company

Occasionally when I wear my jeans with fake pockets
I carry rain in the pocket of my t-shirt
A small pocket in the lapel
Just for precaution
Because maybe today is the day when the skies will claim you back

There were times when I wanted my skin to tell the happy stories of my childhood, and of my present fresh youth
Instead, it told tales of strenuous anguish

But the rain cleared these tales
At least most of them
Now my skin says nothing and my voice chooses what to share

When the days are terribly hot but dark
And suddenly breathing becomes the most difficult task of the day,
I ask her to rain torrentially

And when I'm home alone reading a book near that small window in my room
She remembers to keep me company,
She remembers that at two o'clock in the afternoon, a book and I tune in
and she serenades to me

On Happy
Drusila Mar 2019
When happiness felt like a cool breeze of air on a hot July day
I could nearly swear that I saw the tree branches swinging at a melody imperceptible to anyone else,
In a foreign language , I understood what it said
“ Tilt your head back and let the current embrace you”
              
Whispering
“ Take it in your arms”.

When happiness irradiated from me
I felt intoxicated of all passions humanly possible
As if the love of Aglaea and Hephaestus had once again been revived

Is it possible?
Is it possible?
Is it possible for Ecleia to be reborn anew?

In a joyful conspiracy, the skies murmured
“Tell me what you see,”
“Tell me who you are”

Among the plants of glory, a water drop showed me that
when happiness arose at an unexpected time,
on a hot July day
Happiness had the same familiar features of a once dispirited being
Happiness was easeful and disturbingly calm

Happiness looked like me
Happy was I.
In Greek mythology, Ecleia is the goddess of glory and good reputation. Her parents were (you guessed right), Aglaea &Hephaestus.

The Chameleon’s oath
Drusila Mar 2019
Since my birth, my mom called me chameleon soul
She knew I would fly away
Like a summer breeze, I'd evaporate
Like the fog that precedes a cold rainy night
I would adapt but could never fit
An Oath
Oh Lord,
An oath to every distinct color I left in the places I've been
with no recollection or intention of taking it back
And then, at last, I was assured that this life would never be enough

Deadly Waters
Drusila Mar 2019
I lent my heart to the ocean hoping that all those who sought it, would find it as palpable as the moonlight is to me

But all they wanted and saw was the shadow of a moon that reflects the pounding beat of a fazed heart

Heart started falling apart
oh bleeding heart,
I saw them drifting into empty seas

Drowning, drenching, engulfing

Wiped out

I saw them finding redemption in the high sea,
Tired of draining sins of lust
Love was born to die in shallow waters.

The Paradox of Happiness
Drusila Mar 2019
Isn't it amazing that when we are unhappy,
we own our pain and misfortunes solemnly to ourselves,
but when we have the much-expected encounter with happiness,
Never ours to possess
it comes from the arduous effort,
that without appeal is given from our family and friends.
How delightful!

Hypnagogia
Drusila Mar 2019
Remember this day,

Like worn off tires
I woke up without opening my eyes
Under the guise, known faces did not rise

Talk empty speak
Movement past motion
If you told me I would not believe
The life I would live

Ghost of the past they shall not revive
Rejoice the wise whom present connive
Lucid veneers
Through memories, oh sieve

The non-touch of its kiss
Bare bodies, voids of peace
Caprice longing never to cease
Awake still at sleep.
I just had a really weird day, everything about me was numb and felt as a dream-like experience. It was as if I had gone half-asleep through an entire day. How do you classify a day like that?

Brand New
Drusila Mar 2019
6:18

Getting up today felt like the vanilla scent of a cake.
Let the water run through your face
Neck,
The curve of your hip
In all your bare-skinned finery you're awake

Plain strong coffee
Let it be our ritual at daybreak
Perfect time for a sweet craving
Crimson lustful bliss
I say my "Laudes" through parted lips

7:22
Celeste's declamations sound more alluring today
Teach that Hedonism is not all Humans seek
Unique brazen secrecy
Let not life be an honest misery

14:03
In that aisle read "dairy replacement"
For a second wish to find out when did people supersede humanity
Proceed, smile to the woman at the counter
In the open-air, lit cigarettes
Blown smoke, blown regrets
The joy of yesterday not relive

16:30
Home sweet home
Lay down your upsets and close your eyes
The touch of your hands my worries confine
Shoulders,
Back,
Clavicle,
Shoulders,
Back
Lastly, we baked
Uncomplicated and unmixed orange cake
Orange cake and vanilla ice cream is our feast

21:47
The water takes away, clean, purges everything
Glory redemption finally found
Close your eyes and claim your prize
Caress me
I am brand new!
Laudes - are one of the liturgical hours celebrated in the morning. *Portuguese
