My only refuge
My only escape
From the harsh and sad reality
Infested
Infected

Words muffled and muted
Messages left unsent and unseen
Emotions blocked and unfelt

I miss the midnight talks
the magic words
meaningful messages
and senseless laughs
Every "haha"
And every "huhu"
Every good morning
And every good night.
I'll give away everything
Just take me back
When everything was
Just the way it was
But it seems that
Everything is not enough
To bring back those times
So I'll just accept that
All those things
Are, in my memories,
I can find.

On grassy plains, ethereal as ever,
Lights from fireflies twinkle in the twilight skies
Letting it shine in your beautiful eyes
As it follows their illuminating trails,
Garnering you your most sincere smile.

Ecstasy fills me as I see your true bliss.
Controlling my mind and my emotions,
Yield to your clean soul.
Order is obtained in my insides as my actions
Justify this chaotic scene.

Even if this supposed "love" was supposed to save us both,
Nothing will ever save this soul,
Inside this body tarnished by darkness and sin,
Anchored by the heavy weight of living,
Longing for her love so true
Even when all hope is gone.

Edge
Brent Jul 2015
Every single day, I think of you
Like a spore, latching to my shirt,
Are my thoughts of you, not escaping my mind.
Inevitable, as my brain describes when
Nothing is running in my head but you from
Evening skies through twilight blues.

Just like a river flowing endlessly away,
Over and under upon a rocky maze,
Your being continues to be engraved inside
Creating the perfect image of you and I.
Everlasting as the water's stride

Good memories to be remembered
As the best of friends
Likely to stay that way
Likely to be nothing but a friend to you
Or maybe even less
this is supposed to be the original version but....

The Legend of the Solstice
Brent May 2015
There is a tale that you've always heard.
The story about the sun falling in love with the moon.
But here is a new legend
About the light-sent and the darkness-purged.

She was the daughter of the sun.
And he was the son of the moon.
She was morning's princess.
Beautiful as she holds the world's luminations in her eyes.
While he; he was night's prowler.
Quiet as his domain was the darkness.

As such as the sun and the moon,
They were destined for each other.
But such as Fate's ironies and games,
Their love was inevitably impossible.
They only catch glimpses of each other
At every dusk and every dawn.
But that wasn't enough for the purged.

While she was calm and silent with her primmed smile,
Shining the earth,
He was tired of being lonely
Wallowing in the unmoving darkness.

One night, he called up to Fate.

I don't want to be alone anymore! I can't stand this eternal void alone!

As he shouted, the sent heard and listened.
Her smile widened but her eyes were clouded with tears.
The earth was shrouded in clouds and storms.

Then Fate smiled and told the purged:

  How are you so lonely when you were never alone? You were always with your brethren.

Fate spoke as Fate showed him the stars.

  The light-sent always shone bright, even if she was truly alone. She brought light to the world without a doubt.

He became silent.

The time where him and her would see each other came.
And when he saw her clouded eyes,
He disappeared.
She waited for him to come back,
Yet he waited for her to leave.
When she gave up and left, only was the time he came back.

The next twilight came,
And he readied himself to see her.
But she never appeared.
Because she already left.

The next day, that time approached again.
They both showed up
But they didn't look at each other.
He knew she was there.
And she knew he was there too.
Always at dusk and dawn, they came.
But never again did they catch a glimpse of each other.

*never again
Been seeing a lot of sun-moon/day-night stuff. Thought I'd make one as well.

I thought summer was the time of the flourish of our imagination.
But really it was just the time for false devotion.
Memories shared and memories forgotten.
Promises made and promises broken.

I thought summer was the time for keeping ourselves away from harm.
But really it was the reason for the cuts in my arm.
All of your words; worked like a charm.
Causing all of these false feelings to form.

All this time, I thought you were my treasure and luck.
Now I just think you're toxic as f*ck.
Infecting and corroding my heart with your poison.
The poison that's made up of your lies and your treason.

The Suicidal Painter
Brent Apr 2015
(Note that this is kinda ****** and macabre at some point so, your call)
The Suicidal Painter

A shadowy character. A man shrouded in darkness.
A foreshadowed pain and other feelings that can't be restrained.
A special being. A master of the arts.
But instead of a trusty paintbrush, he wields a rusty blade.

As a man of expression, he released his irrepressible depression.
He let the dark thoughts prance in his mind,
as these thoughts consumed his sanity.

As his thoughts continued to dance, the blade followed its steps.
It sliced and slit, and almost hits his critical veins.
As crimson red splatters in his supposed canvas,
The image of his beloved began to take form.

As his blade circle around his arm,
Teardrops roll on his cheeks and sweat form in his forehead.
Slowly, the droplets approach his wounds.
One by one, the drops make contact with his open skin.
And every excruciating sting he feels,
A memory with her disappears.

As his blood continuously drip from his severely lacerated arm,
he lets go of his blade.
Then he paints with his trembling fingers, a pair of wings for his beloved.
The blood red wings to let her go.
The unstable wings to set her free.

But even then, his blood-dipped fingers continued to swish and rustle through the canvas.
As he steadies her wings, she began to fade to the fabric.
As his consciousness wanes, he puts his finishing touch.
Like every maestro who is done with his creation,
he smiles
And as he sees her image completely gone,
he realizes his eternal freedom.
this is probably the longest thing I've ever done. and probably the bloodiest. i like this site very much. it's my emotional outlet for times like these. it's my way of releasing how i really feel, even though i'm not that great a writer.

a giant teardrop
Brent Apr 2015
/\
can we
imagine,
every time
we experience
any pain or suffering,
we can just shed one giant
teardrop instead of always trying
to hide our crimson-red eyes because of
countless nights of sobbing & crying,
a never-ending stream of tears,
because of sadness, shame
  or regret?
'cause this sounds pretty nice in my head

The Heart Is The Universe
Brent Apr 2015
The heart is the world.
Filled with life known to exist or not.
Containing the life that make up everything.
And protects this life, even at the cost of its own.

The heart is the sun.
Pulsing heat and light into the world.
As of the warmth of an embrace.
And the illuminating glimmer of hope to others.

The heart is the vast outer space.
The wide black void.
But only through this darkness,
Can we see the specks of light better and brighter.

The heart is the universe.
Home of the known and the unknown.
Where the bloodstream lies as the continuum of time and space.
And the only place I'd rather be.
the heart is everything. the heart is the universe. let me be in your universe.

Facade
Brent Mar 2015
Seeing your face, I see nothing but lies.
There's no mistake. I saw through your guise.
A sight was enough. A quick look in your eyes.
Nothing more but a glance should suffice.
Everything you'll reveal will be no surprise.
But keep in mind that many things come with a costly price.
Will I wait for your virtue and keep resisting your vice?
Or just end it all and sever the ties?

I thought I can handle every word you say
Because we give and take those three words too lightly.
Never thought of being dismayed
Of you, saying those words too frankly.

I'm starting to be afraid of you.
Those words echoed in my mind.
Overpowering your I love yous
That used to ring in my ears every time.

A random time to be lonely
Caused a scarring depression.
Never thought that love
Can quickly turn to fear.

*Or was it love in the first place?

Simply Impossible
Brent Feb 2015
On cold evenings,
I just want to walk with you.
On a breezy sidewalk.
Holding hands.
And not saying a word.
Not even a whisper.
Silently pacing.
Side by side.
Stepping in sync.
I'll even let you put your head on my shoulder.
Not caring about the world.
Just letting the moonlight gleam.
And let it shine on your beautiful face.
Just letting the stars glimmer in the sky.
And let them twinkle in your eyes

*But that's just simply impossible.
random thoughts. daydreaming while walking at night.

deep thoughts on nothing
Brent Jan 2015
a cold evening
the icy floor
the way it touches my feet
makes me shiver to my core

as i ponder on thoughts
on what seems to be nonsense
doesn't explain anything
that makes my whole body tense

but as I go deeper to my mind
tears roll down my face
carelessly looking for
reasons I can't find

the cause of my despair
the reason of my depression
those I will never find
with this meaningless expression
losing sanity bit by bit
call it an exaggeration but i don't really know

* Wish *
Brent Dec 2014
A season to cherish the stars in the skies.
As the cool breeze blows, and lights glimmer in your eyes.
The season to share some milk tea with ice.
But for you, I'll give a nice surprise.

I can't afford fancy bouquets.
Or the fancy clothes and bags on display.
I just really hope and pray.
That even without those, you'll be here to stay.

All of your gifts, just set aside.
Even the mistletoe, to the ceiling where it's tied.
Because my only wish this season of yuletide,
Is just be happy by your side.
Merry Christmas!  :)

The Reason I Write
Brent Dec 2014
The only time I write is
when
  your words are like knives that leave scars.
when
  your words trap me behind metal bars.
when
  your words are like darkness that shrouds my view of the stars.

But as your words cloud my emotions,
I slowly lose my reason to write.
I thought what we had was forever.
Turns out everybody else was right.
*the first italicized line was from Panic! At The Disco's "This Is Gospel". I heard it again and it kinda stuck to my mind.

Nyctophilia
Brent Dec 2014
When I was young,
I was afraid of the night.
I believed it was
home to ghosts, poltergeists
and all kinds of frights.
Just the absence of light
sends shivers to my spine.

As I grew up, I've come
to love the night.
It makes me feel alive.
All of my emotions revive.
and my words drive
to self-proclaimed beauty.

But the thing that I
most appreciate,
is that this is the time
that I get to you.
The only time
I can see your smile
shine bright.
Brighter than the
gleaming moonlight.
you know it's you. :)

As I Lay
Brent Dec 2014
As I lay on the roof and watch the sky
I saw you take the leap then fly.
As time passed by, you start to regret
That you took the jump that'll lead to your death.

As you fall down, I rushed, only to see
Nothing but sadness as your teardrops fall free.
I know this'll cause my greatest heartbreak
But I let you fall down, I'll be forever awake.

As you neared the ground, your fall was cut abrupt
You were surprised to see me as I lift you up.
But as we rise, you start to move astray.
Now, I didn't even realize that you've already flown away.

*As I lay on the roof and watch the stars,
My thoughts had already wandered off too far.
As I close my eyes and clear my mind,

I slowly accept that you can never be mine.

Will I find love if I go right?
For me to love, should I learn to take flight?
Oh, I will try with all my might,
To find the one who'd be in heart's sight.

Alas! Where do I begin my search?
Will I find love on a lovebird's perch?
To find the one who'll wear the veil at the church.
And in time, the one who'll offer a faithful dirge.

If I stare at the wind, will I find love?
Shall I find love if I look above?
Oh, will this heart learn to throb?
Or will I just find a reason to sob?

A Poem from a Son
Brent Nov 2014
Hello Dad, It's been awhile
You are away, a thousand miles
But you're in my heart, all this while.
Here enough to make me smile.

All this time, you're in my heart
Not just at heart, but also in mind.
It's just hard for me to see.
How hard it is to grow without you here with me.

I got used to the fact that you're not here.
But I never lose hope that you’ll ever come back.
It’s always in my mind that you are my Dad.
Like a solid rock that can never be cracked.

On your special day, I offer you this.
To let you remember that you are always missed.
A poem from a son who always loves you
Who gives these words from heart so true.

— The End —
