Reality

The light illuminates us within
Gleaming through that translucent pride
Creating an obscure spectrum that we’re in
We are all fragile inside
Waiting for the day we die

We evade at what’s real
And fallen into the dusk
We realized it’s wrong to feel
But we still believe in trust

We crave for that night
When the Moon shines as bright as the Sun
Where Shooting Stars falling everywhere in sight
Where the Milky Way pours to the ground
Where Northern Lights stays until the sunrise

We try to find what was lost
Only to be remembered by what’s present
We can’t forget yesterday’s remorse
Only to find out that it’s permanent.

Erennwrites

I procrastinate alot. To the extent of losing friends and relationships. But It's never too late to change. You have to face the truth,accept it.
Accept Reality.
And Change.

Fragments

When all is done
It’s never really done.
Really.
You often asked yourself
'Will I see her again?'
That’s not impossible in vivid reveries
But it’s still a lie.
Creating that illusion in your head
Reversing time repetitively and everything will be as it is
The way you wanted it to be.

Speculating if your love for her
Was being marked for invalidity
Moments imparted on phases that matters most
The smell of berries in her hair
That fiery gold in her eyes
That emphatic touch that never waned
'But why so soon?'

You tried to run
But you can’t
Despite hiding in your illusory canopy
These fragments aren't real anymore
It was.

You tried rendering it to someone else
But you pushed them away
Not letting them in
But you realized those feelings were real
This new beginning was real
But you shut everyone out
Leaving that void of obscurity in your head

Your heart’s barely pumping
Every second mattered
Contemplating if it’s easy to plummet down from here
Now you’re thinking with your heart
Not your head
It doesn't make any sense
Because you created that
You chose to be this way

You just wanted to be with her
Just one day.
Again.

But you can’t
It’s not real anymore
It will never be.
Because it’s gone.
She’s gone.
Forever.

Erennwrites

Four years passed so fast. I'm just really content you're in a better place now.
Never forgotten.

The Drought

Inches below the surface, I can feel the sun just ahead, threating my lost consciousness and tearing my body apart.

The incandescent light pierces the ground, the mountains scream fire upon the sky, crackles in the ground appear beneath my feet. What a pitiful anxiety made of sand!

My body stretches, incoming dehydration, thirst and isolation; motherly desert, fatherly wastelands...

Let me burn down to ashes and ******* to the wind.
Make me feel uncomfortable and let me disappear in peace.

I can feel the drought claiming my pain, gathering the dust that used to be my skin and remain in solitude, just like a snail then I find myself stuck in the nonchalant rage of the day.

There is nothing alive, there is just an infinite ruin of land, dead soil and dying lives turn into stone by act of time.

Demise

and so you get out of bed,
you take a shower, 
you wash the face that too many tears have dried upon,  you cleanse the the body that too many hands have touched

heartbroken again, but you will rise 
you’re too used to it to cry, it’s a demise

you shave your legs, this time for you ,
you comb through your tangled locks, reminding you too much of your tangled heart ,
you paint your cracked and unpolished nails, hoping that they’ll shine just like they used to, also reminding you too much of your cracked and unpolished heart.

heartbroken again, but you will rise  you’re too used to it to cry, it’s a demise

you clean your room, still hoping that he’ll see it again soon
 you draw your blinds and wait until sunrise

*heartbroken again, but you will rise 
you’re too used to it to cry, it’s a demise

Terrified

How can she say you have to pick between her and I?
What if you choose her?
She is your mother after all,
I am just a girl,
A girl you claim is your true love,
But she is your flesh and blood,
What if you can't choose me?
I don't know what I would do without you,
You are my heart and soul,
I know I will never find another,
Another that means as much as you do to me,
But you can't choose me,
You have no out,
You are trapped within your mothers grasp,
I am starting to see our demise,
And it kills me,
Slowly ripping my heart to shreds,
Losing you might really **** me,
I don't know what to do anymore,
What if is all I can think about...
I am **terrified

Hymn to the Reaper

O, Death, Keeper of Souls
The Eternal Watcher, ye take and give
Thou giveth life, thou taketh away
Grant, that in taking this life, I may
As thou willeth, live again,
Prosperteth, by chance, or choice,
Under thy mercy, that ye taketh not
My life, for one more day
Let this be my only plea, my sole prayer
*“One more day.”

Inspired from Game of Thrones' beloved character Arya Stark. Composition is by my Afro - Asian Literature partner Mogi Castrilo (all credits go to him, of course haha), concept by me

Death in C Minor

As I lose my soul in a song, yet again
In the lyrical verses of Death, I start my bargain
Death, The Eternal Watcher, ***** in my being
Through the endless pitch black night, that voided me, from seeing
The light that all my prayers I offered went straight to
My soul now drenched in the moist from the grisly beats and tempos
From the void, I stride, I yield, I unsheathed
The power of my Deed-Blade, to prove I was worthy
To face off with the Devil, who yielded no mercy
As the Devil threw his summons of sulphurous fire
A baneful blow to his head, knocked him out in his lair of mire
O, Death, as I stand before the Devil’s cadaver
Sing to me the verses of Eternity’s Master
May He bless my soul that lived for a transient time
May it find the path of virtue as it fought out of intrepidness, not of bravado
May my soul finally see the light
The light of God that would bring me in spiritual ecstasy, with this, I have truly won the fight

This is for our Afro - Asian Literature class. It's 9:29 PM

Closure

My girl died and I lost my mind
You were here for me when I was on the edge and almost took my life away
She was all I had
I had just committed, but unfortunately she took her life away - thinking this was the way out of the world of the cruel
My heart was between her thighs - she fell and it broke
I still bleed, pain - no happiness
Her picture still lingers in my eyes
She's all that I can see
I got this new girl, but I can't get my mind off this predicament
Things aren't the same - it's hard not to think about her

[Inspired by: Ab Soul Ft Jhene Aiko - Closure]
