#elope
I sat there, drained of hope,
Searching for a way to elope,
Wishing for the heavens to speak,
To let my punishment begin.
Take me to the Eternal Judgment,
To slave like a dog as penance for my sins.
I'll unveil the vices I hid through my skin.
Offer me that tragic death-
Good God, I'll give you my life;
Please demand a sacrifice.
Bring the whole realm;
Find something to feast upon,
The Darkest Shade of Sin;
As I point "I am right here"
There are no lords and kings,
When the ritual begins.
There is no sinful innocence than my unmarked misdeeds.
In the madness and tears:
Of my vivid death scene,
Only in the depths of my mortal coil;
My soul will find its clarity.

All of the sounds;
fading slowly into the background,
the sound of love; _swish,_ only a rush nowadays.
Too many breaking up, down on their feelings
of being down on their luck.
Could make you go, _"what the f..k"_
But I heard they were looking for things
they couldn't find. _Vroom, vroom._
Long trips at night; two kids driving down a hill,
about to live their life. Making out with one hand on the
steering wheel. Stirring their will; with tough love bites
leaving a wheal.
_Mxwah, mxwah._
"Let's just enjoy the thrill,"
following each other's commandments. They both know the drill;
of hanging their clocks, with some time to ****
_Chirp, chirp._
Birds in the early morning of the season;
deep emotions their love has; but they keep on swimming.
_SPLASH!_
"Do you think this feeling will last," she had to ask.
In the relax of paradise; with no memories to
the past. Past the times of counting seconds to finally
meet.
_Tic Toc,_
Waiting by the corner of her house; waiting for him to
pick her off the street. They kiss to greet. _Tss._
They give one on each other's cheek.
_Sip, sip._
Of that strong black coffee at their favourite café,
they've been there a couple of days; and it's become
their favourite place. He licks his lips, "I need to ****
_Vvvvrrr, vvrr, splat. Splash!_
goes the vibrating tap; to give his hands a rinse.
I forgot to mention that baggage of bags under
their eyes. They've been driving all night.
_aauggh,_ he quickly yawns.
Where has the time gone; felt like they've been stuck
listening to the same song.
The envelope message of eloping away from their parents,
they're living so careless. A couple more miles from a
borders freedom. She's breathless; while he's restless.
On the highway, his eyes pull down; and the car pulls
away to the side. _CRASH! BOOM!_
Nobody is left alive. Just the sound of a risky love, and no
sounds of life.
Now all we have is the sound of silence.
_END_

In the early hours of the morning,
you asked me to marry you;
I pushed it off, taking it as a joke,
but you leapt up from our bed anyway,
and I protested, saying there were no rings in sight,
and yet, you wrapped paper, so delicately, into a ring for me.
From the dim-lit room,
I saw you kneel on one knee to ask me.
I swore you were mocking me,
but you persisted that we elope,
and even then I couldn't take you at your word.
Did you really love me like that?
And if so, why did you leave?

There are those who understand how it is
to see their mother beaten (down and up)
to see their young brother cheating
to spend the winter weeks with no heating
to be resourceful enough to put MacGyver to shame
to be racked with guilt but none of the blame
to jump any time the doorbell rings
to wonder about looping round with the swings
to undertake the first mission to Mars
to spend far too much time in cars
to listen to the music of Gary Numan
to put up with the voice of Gary Numan
to be unable to recognise the difference between bare truths and pretty little fictions
to look in the mirror and see only problems
to cut their flesh up into silicone quadrants
to be free (like William Wallace)
to look at a beer and see a three day ******
to give in to fear
to be a pretender
to be half way through a sentence and forget what it was you were saying
to pray to anything that might answer
to feel helpless
to feel hopeless
to be lost
and those who don't.

So tired of this skin color hair
creed social status divisions
malice biggotry greedy
Shady manners
The haves and have nots
worldwide strangeness!
The massive mile nature burnings
mysterious volcanic eruptions.
popping up
glacial s melting crumbling
This masked face
pandemic new world order
in the midst of it all!
O how I long
to take my loved ones
a few trustworthy friends
and fly out this ugly cris-cross
chemtrail sky covering all stars
killing natural cloud's
formations
on matrix mother Earth's
slippery slopes
ever closer to the sun
Earth's being kissed
by Mercury and Venus
no courageous ruller
to tell us the end's truth
that we must fly out
soon to boldy go
out to the stars.

I wait all day for the train,
But it has been delayed.
I sit a few feet from the tracks,
As time just slips away.
I finally escaped,
But my getaway,
Hasn't come to take me away.
And my past will soon catch up to me,
I guess I'll never truly be free.

One year has gone for ever
After many exact others
The journey I had, wandering
The pain I got, waiting
How patient I was, anticipating
The picture of you, smiling
The thought of us, together
The perfect life, forever
One dream is shattered
When I got your letter
The future now is dead
The past was abed
One more year of hope
May happiness never elope

Run.
'Cause I have to pursue you,
You got me with voodoo,
Who does it like you do?
None.
Overcome with the new you,
Swept in the word,
Of a curse,
Of a homebrew:
Fun.
I knew that I knew you,
But all that I've been through
Is enough to give into.
Come.
Come with me and we'll run to
A place where the sun dew
Is run through with rainbows
And all that is come due.
Want to?

To the love of my life
The most beautiful woman
The one I want to make my wife
I hope you know this
I love you without end
And nothing could ever cause
that love to break or bend
You're as radiant as the sunshine
And your eyes shine like stars
You've captured my heart completely
Slapped on chains and put it behind bars
I can't express how proud
I am to be called yours
To be the one in your life
To hold your hand and open doors
You're beautiful
That's all I'm trying to say
And every time I think of you
I want to run away
To go somewhere far
And live with abandon
To the highest mountain top
And live in a cabin
To go somewhere
Where the world doesn't know
To love you fully
And where you never need to go
I love you Marissa
That's all I'm trying to say
And for you I'll do anything
Anytime, any day

He is invisible
He is a welcomed guest from god
He is unpredictable like that of a storm
He is like the snowflakes full of calm and peace
I tried to find him but as I came closer I was digging my own burial chamber
The thought of losing him vanishes the smile on my face and makes me cry
I love him and his absence reminds me of suicide
My parents hated him because he was an atheist
Just a crack on my vein makes him visible
*My parents blamed
My teachers shouted
My friends ignored*
But I didn’t care because he was the eternal to me
He was the only one who was with me when I was alone, yet he was invisible
I had enough queries to solve myself but I know the answer was him
He was the answer to all my queries
Once we were inseparable but he left me alone with the promise he will come again forever
I followed him again but he unfollowed and repeated the same words
I was secluded when I was with him
His entry to my life with the red roses was the final contact
He at last wanted my soul instead of my heart and I gave him and that was MY END…….

Let's elope in this radiance
of a sunshine
that promises to sketch
for Always.
tentatively blue-white clouds
peeking alarmingly from around
the red-orange-yellow brilliance
that the sun is.
Let's elope now
so maybe the winds
will set sail our ship
not too wildly
not too slowly
just the right amount
Let's elope and
Maybe,
Paradise will chase us.

We arrive
in Scotland
(Edinburgh)
and find the
old guest house
and book in
and settle
in our room
with one bed
(a double)
a tall boy
chest of drawers
and a small
old dressing
table near
the window
well we're here
Rachel says
here alone
just us two
I watch her
standing there
our parents
(her father
my mother)
back at home
wondering
where we were
five hours long
train journey
I utter
wanting to
undress her
and get her
into bed
but stand there
waiting for
her to say
do you think
they will know
where we are?
she asks me
of course not
how could they?
she's unsure
and anxious
Daddy'll be
mad at us
going off
like we have
I hold her
close to me
kiss her neck
we're here now
as we planned
in Scotland
us alone
in this room
us lovers
she turns round
and we kiss
the best kiss
that we have
ever had
and we're free
to kiss now
and make love
in the bed
without fear
our parents
will see us
and she is
probably
thinking of
her father
the doctor
and I think
of Mother
the staff nurse
suspecting
she was right
when she said
to me when
I came out
of Rachel's
room last night
and she said
I don't want
you in her
room ever
again do
you hear me?
we are here
in our room
now Mother
and we will
get undressed
into bed
and make love
not just once
but maybe
more than that
it's raining
Rachel says
can't go out
and we look
at the bed
then undress
and we're there
together
stark naked
listening
to rain fall
while back home
the echo
of parents
and their call.

Didn’t you ever
Hear the Saints of Night
The way they lingered and whispered
And took away all our fright.
That one brusque evening
You looked into eyes
Stars spelled wisdom
And burned away sins
All the skies.
Akin to my demons
My fears spelled the plight
Of virtue and forgiveness
How did you make it all right?
Drunk in a café
Under the beach house
At night.
You smiled like it could
Last and that is why I sighed
With hope that this moment
Could freeze but you turn
To tell me: it’s over,
The hard part has begun.
We danced on shattered glass
As our feet bled to bone
But happy, oh, I was
I didn’t have to be alone.
The moonlight shone brightly
And razed all my homes
Of free falls and train wrecks
The silence choked me more.
It stung, the common sight
Of being apart and far off
The shore.
I swore I could plunge in
Deep and let go.
It purged me of essentials
To let my memories
Out the door.
But conviction that held me
Urged me to get off
The floor.
The friend that I needed
Was killed in a war
Of preposterous vulnerability
That I couldn’t evade
Even now.
I searched and I failed
Till one night I saw
I didn’t need my friend
Or an image for someone
To draw.
I slipped into a rabbit hole
That I knew held the key
To a place if I entered
I would not flee.
There you stood with shoulders
So broad and so sure
If I was in a crisis
You’d do more than just cure.
Now we’re back to the Café
The beach house
At night.
It’s stormy and ravenous
Of destruction tonight.
You’re talking and slowly
Your breath means more
Than the humour that escapes
Your perpetuating aura-
Let’s elope.

She drives me away to a perfect getaway
She flies me to a land of runaways
She makes me want to stay
And I've got no say
