poetry on fire Oct 2017
together we shall withstand the bursts of wind,
the furious strikes of rainwater.
let us not be afraid of our transparent hearts
the ones we uncertainly show to the world.
let them beat us with their hammers
and we’ll crack into a thousand pieces and
let our shattered pieces
sink into their skin
like the teeth of a great white

A string plucked:
Soft, supple, pliant, auriferous,
Full-bodied.
Vibrations traveling in determined waves
Fill the chambers
Joyfully cascading down walls,
Ringing down halls,
The symphony crescendos and falls.
A string brushed:
Gasps, sings, tender, melodious,
Wanton.
Whispers traveling in hopeful skips
Dance on air
Lasciviously over-pleased
To be teased
And so subtly eased.
The string un-plucked:
Grows cold
Anticipates
Grows rusty
Wants for just one touch
Grows restless
Sits in silence
Oppressive silence
Until it snaps.

Fifteen hopes
and twenty dreams
it was a vestige
of my mistake,
once I lived in a
forbidden place
of dark games.
There was a window
of my realization
I saw my old friend
smiling from the past.

I open the door,
outside it was
a memories
built by shattered promise
made by rogue
and there's no place
I could go back.

My heart is broken
My soul is torn
My spirit has woken
My body all worn

My bones have shattered
My eyes are closed
The vultures have gathered
The deads aroused

My heart now bleeds
My soul deliberately shivers
My spirit helplessly feeds
On the flowing rivers

I was hated by many
Loved by few
I never owed a penny
But who knew

I was stabbed in the heart
On a cold drizzling night
Awfully broken apart
No, I wasn't in a fight

Left to die with so much pain
My life in complete vain
Dragged in the stormy rain
And shoved in a clogged drain...

I try so hard,
Tirelessly,
Day after day,
Night after night,
Soldiering on,
From Light to Dark,
and Dark to Light,

But God,
Why make it so hard?
So hard for me to succeed,
One mistake,
And again,
It may be all gone again.

Dear God,
Please,
I do not have much time left,
Grant me some grace,
And lend me some leeway,
Let me learn,
And grow,
Hit me with the rod, if you really must,
But please,
Don't **** me,
Don't **** my dreams,
Please, Don't take everything away.

If you really love me,
Why make it so hard?
I am in pain, can you not see?

Or am I not destined,
To carry out your plans this way.

Help me God,
Please allow my dreams to come true,
Your loyal servant.
Sigh... Am I destined, or am I not.?

Thinking of you as these tears fall from my eyes,
No longer able to wear this beautiful disguise.
For you have shattered every part of me with your innocent lies.
Did you ever love me? Want me? Need me? Crave me as much as I crave you?
Just the feeling of your fingers,
Or the whisper of your words.
Missing every inch of you as though you were my treasure,
But now your feelings have changed and you've moved on like the weather.
Leaving me
beaten
bruised
and broken.
Now I'm left to forget the words that you had once spoken.

- I'm here, you're there

Left me, why?
Your love was a lie
From a distance
You waved me, a goodbye

You said sorry
Making another story
Smiling venomously
Said not to worry

This was the other day
When you came to say,
That you got a job
And you are going away

I would have forgiven you
If you were honest with me
But you changed my view
To see the ongoing reality

I am upset, I did cry
I am shattered and you know why
But I am not going to try
To get you back

You left me, I understand
And since you've moved on
I'll put my feelings to the end
And let my broken heart mend

I hope you don't cheat again
With whom your life has just begun
My life, consumed in unthinkable pain
The ink of my pen, now a pointless gun...*

Have you ever been imprisoned by your thoughts and admiration?
yelling out that you want to be free from this suffocation

You're a prisoner by all means, your heart has abandoned you to the court, and your mind a witness to all the things you've done

Then, you found a key; the answer to moving on but it couldn't fit the locked door

So you tried the best to escape but all routes has failed. There's only one way to fix this, is if you've let yourself to be not guilty of your crimes

Just prove you were innocent but what can we do? we are all pros at heartbreaks

She was a dreamer
with beautiful dreams
an ordinary person
with high esteem goals
she was lost....
and had no option but to
live life that way......

Swaying chimes, gives me a sign
Someone is around, who's no longer mine
The bell chimes, gives a soothing ****
While the winds play my favorite song

I am not under possession of any ghost
Nor do I entertain any to host a toast
This is something new I've been experiencing
The winds press my skin as tho piercing

My heart glows and my mind is at calm
I am not scared in this moonlights charm
I smell a familiar, my most favorite scent
It's the one I gifted him before he went

I can feel his presence around me tonight
He's come to visit me tho out of sight
I wish he was still alive and here with me
My eyes madly searches, just a glimpse to see

Speed is what he was fond of from the start
The accident engulfed him, broke my heart
I went rushing, shattered, breaking apart
He gave me a last look before his depart

I am alone, drowned in his memory
Each moment plays in frames like summary
I know its him brushing away my tears
I really miss him, tho its been many years...
