Untitled 1
Shi Rini Feb 2012
Soft-white rose petals reflected on
this sun-abandoned skin,
hidden beneath satin laces; expanding
through a cream ballet shoe.
Delicate movements of her feet reaching
the foul of the subway floor,
and no one can watch her but I.
A beauty with sun rays shinning upon,
through these windows owned by self-conscious doors,
and the sight of a purified spectacle carved my mind,
blinding me with paintings of her,
and only her.
Only her.

Scorn
Shi Rini Feb 2012
You kept your mouth shut, You Kept Your Mouth Shut!
Whilst, I, kept My Ears Wide Open,
And heard the thoughts of you
drift upon others hearts.

Was it only bitterness that kept you for a stone,
Or was it I alone?

You kept your heart shut,
But your arms wide open for my touch,
And tears to shed for my love,
or the longing of...
Though only upon others hearts, always upon another's.

Then Why, Love, should I feel this scorn,
When my love was given,
When my love was worn,
Just to clean your hands of regret..
Was it met?

Pretentious, self indulgent victims,
Lying on their backs, laughing.
Laughing at their perpetrators.
Who're hugging their knees
against their face; they weep and weep.
Weep for sins they've not committed,
But have to keep pretending to keep, keep
Keep this world spinning.

This fake, fake world.

To Feel
Shi Rini Feb 2012
To feel the rain on your skin
To feel your ******* harden with the chill of the wind

To feel the sky move
To feel the sky move

To feel the soft of your fur
To steal a glimpse of your love

To feel the sky move...

Though this fog of oblivion
had failed to prevent my sight.
Still, for miles on miles my outstretched arms
had longed to grace the touch
of a lingering fairytale.
And every superficial sign we stumbled upon
arrowed in the way of a long awaited dream,
for me to find it was just I
on a one-way street...

Beautiful
Shi Rini Feb 2012
If me faking makes you beautiful;
I'll lie away every inch of this truth keeping me sane,
I'll smile in your face and keep the reality behind the sparkle in my eyes,
I'll glue these dying pedals back to a rose and pretend it's blooming,
I'll turn my tears into sparkling diamonds for you to wear,
I'll give you my veins as your donor to replace any blood you've lost,
And my body for you to lie on when nails spread across your floor,
I'll give my life just so your ears would be caressed by one sweet lie,
Finding it's way to your smile,
And fooling you into realizing you are so...
beautiful.

Shi Rini Feb 2012
She flickers and faints; in and out, in and out.
His eyes have captured the beauty she consumes,
now he does too.
Pupils flared, a glaze, a glare a flicker can claim.
A storm of ink blown across a defenseless leaf,
carried on an inspiration,
his had has yet to feel defeat.
She lights and dims, but fails to die
He stares, as if a soul was bound to bare
And possibly he knows more than I
But, I've yet to see an object come to life.
By no means I mean to dismiss
The beauty in the sight of a candle light,
but, yet, so inspired and in such a daze,
infatuated with a candle gaze.
She dances and teases 'till sweat drips down.
Dressing her in a lovely layered gown.
Mesmerized and in fear of her touch,
he stares as his lover turns to dust.

Frustration of a fallen hope,
it drags you along like a sad best-friend.
And though your forgotten mind needs reassurance,
I; the angry, cannot help the fragile, only can the pure.
So, as the wolf suits itself a perfect lamb,
she closes her eyes.
" It's just so much easier to pretend..."

Well, the day passed with a silent mourn.
With only a finger tip on her neck,
you could feel her excitement pulsing.
Every breath exhaling a fog of colliding temperatures,
maybe it was just her exhaled toxins that
trailed this cloud of smoke. She lied
to the clouds, and they separated for the sun, and
she smiled in acceptance...
a smile revealing more than she had hoped for,
but now she just couldn't care less...
