The Wonderess
The Wonderess May 2020
Love her wildly
But let her be
She won’t run
If she’s free...
The Wonderess Jun 2022
Her hope of happiness
Becomes a mirage

As she slips down
The ***** of
Self-sabotage

Angel’s Adieu
The Wonderess May 2020
May you, so passionate, rest in peace
May your humble heart be at ease
And heaven shall surely in you pleasure find
Remember me, I beg, I’m not too far behind

I pray that in your soul I’m cherished
While I’m in my purgatory, perished
Each day is a weight that I cannot bear
The load of your loss is my dispair

And as you, Saint, God’s abode adorn
Below is besmirched as I mourn
Awaiting the time we will reunite
And this darkness will turn to light

So unfathomable is my pain
Like a law that has been profaned
It gnaws alway inside, the unremitting beast
I witness myself ******* more with every feast

As my mind ponders and I gaze forlorn
A trickle of hope and delight is born
I’m certain you have God’s fondness gained
As you in my favor have always remained

Empowered I commence journ with faith/hope
And search for your colors in life’s kaleidoscope...

To Forget is to Flourish
The Wonderess May 2020
Why do you wilt?
When you aren’t to
Blame

Let go of this guilt
Shake off all of this
Shame...

The Wordless Writer
The Wonderess May 2020
Crumbling beneath
The boulders,
Of the burdens
On her shoulders

She sits collapsed
On the cold concrete,
Curled up under
A blanket of defeat

Between two kneecaps
clamped head,
Whilst leaning against
The lonesome bed

Tear stains
Mark her face
A painting of
Sheer disgrace

Silent screams
Over her plight
Echo through
The empty night

Knowing that No amount
Of pills and potions
Can cure her of these
Horrid emotions  

She clasps a knife
gasps for breath
Clings onto life
dreams of death

They have sight
But refuse to see
That writing is
Her remedy

Unable to fulfill
Her purpose
She feels utterly
Worthless...
When I am unable to write I feel as though my life has no purpose. Can of my fellow poets relate?

Strength of the Sun

Sweet Soul, look to
The Sun.
Tell me, what does she
Symbolize?

That you are a
Resilient one,
Who’ll defeat darkness
And Rise!

Remember to Forget
The Wonderess Jun 2020
i have come to rely
On my daily
Cigarette

to help me remember
what i wish to
forget

see it’s a bittersweet habit
just like your
Were

i’m better off without it
But that’s not what
i prefer...

i don’t like the smell
or the habit you
see

But it’s the only thing
keeping you close
to me.

Beyond
The Wonderess May 2020
If only you could understand,
How you held my heart
When you held
My hand

Your touches travelled past my skin
They shook my soul
So deep
Within

You moved more than my body
I shared with you
Every last part
Of me

Yet you cannot comprehend
My pain when my lover
Told me, I’m only
A friend

You could have said it before
You let me believe that
I am so much
More...

I am broken, now beyond repair
As you continue
Without a
Care

Although I’m angered I’ll never wish
For anyone to ever
Hurt you
Like this

It takes a different kind of cruel
To take someone who
Loves you for a
Fool...

Sunken Soul

My spirit was was sinking,
No, I could not
Stay afloat

When bearing your
Heavy burdens on
My boat

-she was a shipwreck

Words are Precious Gems
The Wonderess May 2020
Hush Sister, I know
That you are burning
To erupt...
But trust, that the sheer
Violence of your silence
Is Enough!

The Wonderess May 2020
Sister, there is no need
To push aside your pain.
Embrace it, for flowers
Cannot grow without rain.

Pretentious
The Wonderess Apr 2020
I’d rather you tell me
That you hate me to
My face.

Because I know you
Don’t give a ****
In any case.

So what’s with the chit-chat
And wasting of
Breath

Would you come to my
Funeral, pretend-cry
At my death?

Double-destruction
The Wonderess Apr 2020
I gave you an  
Invitation,
Accepted your
Invasion.
So who really
Is to blame,
If we both treated
Me the same?

You said you
Loved me...
And it set
Me free

Only to later
Lock me up
And throw
Away the
Key

Yet it appeared
Quite fine as I
Had been
Locked up
Before

The difference being
That I was the
Warder of my
Own prison
Door

Tell me, who is to
Blame
When we hurt
Me the same?

You saw me suffer
And worsened
My existing
Pain

For my best friend
The Wonderess May 2020
Through thick and thin
Loss  and win
We were glued together
As we will be forever

We cured each disaster
With goofing and laughter
Quite the doctors we were
With life’s essential cure

Adopting Peter Pan’s
Most Brilliant Plan
We refused to grow old
to grow bitter and cold

We were so powerful
We were so invincible
Two fragile little girls
Taking on a cruel world

Now we are older
and debatably wiser
Trapped inside adults
despite our revolts

Yet, we bring magic
To a world so tragic
With the ‘faith, trust
And pixie dust ‘

Of our
everlasting friendship...
This poem is dedicated to my best friend and describes how a the sisterly bond that we shared is the kind of magical live that brightens up the world on the most dull of days.

Through & Through
The Wonderess Jun 2020
I know this now
And so should
You

All that I’ve endured
And been put
Through

But don’t you try
No, don’t you
Dare !

To tell me that
I shouldn’t go
There

That this was my doing,
I should’ve known not
To

For you don’t have
A clue what I’ve been
Through

I wouldn’t simply
Sign my happiness
Away

Sell my soul to the
Devil on bright sunny
Day

What I condoned,
I so deeply
Condemned

So, why did this
Not stop me
Then?

Perhaps I did not
Think that I
Deserved

More than the poor
Treatment I was
Served

I cannot explain my
Mind: so
Incomprehensible

And you say I should’ve
Been more
Sensible

But until you have
Trudged in my
Shoes

Shut your mouth
Withhold your
Views

I did not know
How to nurture
Myself

At the time I
Needed the
Help

That “sweet” care
he gave went a
Long way

I was blind when
I let myself be led
Astray

And I gave and
I gave so
Abundantly

Only to become
The epitome of
Redundancy

To be loved was
My most burning
Need

So much so, that I tried
To satisfy his
Greed?

You stone and shun
Me with your
Shame

You brutally tell me
That I am to
Blame

But my dear, until you
Know what I’ve been
Through

Respect me, for one day
It might be
You...

My biggest fear
The Wonderess May 2020
That the one I love most finally wakes up from his perfect illusion of me and sees me the way that I see myself.

Left Love Drunk
The Wonderess May 2020
They sipped on
You, Sweet Sister
Like you were cheap
Chardonnay.

Then realized
You were Champagne
The day you walked
Away...

The Irony of Intimacy
The Wonderess May 2020
Something powerful lingered
Between our interlaced
Fingers

I was ever so softly shocked
When our hands were
Interlocked

Your kiss like a lightening bolt
Struck my heart to a
Halt

I was electrocuted by your eyes
When I at last removed my
Disguise

And finally I resigned to my urge
, to feel this current through me
Surge

Two bodies fused into one...
But the current did not
Come?

And empty was the ecstasy
That belonged only to my
Body

I stared at your blank face
And realized what was
Taking place

You were devoid of feeling,
This had no deeper
Meaning.

You had extinguished our flame
My sacrifice was all in
Vain!

I sought a golden shine
And let you enter my
Soul and shrine

Now I’m left tainted and torn
I wish you’d have me
Warned

That you never intended to ignite
Our love with your false
Light

I was fooled and gave my trust
To a devil derived from
Lust.

Love is indeed blind
Unable to recognize
It’s own kind

*** and intimacy are far apart
You wanted my body
Not my heart.
Sometimes we are mislead by people who pretend to love us in our entirety when indeed all they’re after is our body. In my life I’ve learnt some hard  lessons and one of them was to distinguish between love/intimacy and ***. I was tricked and payed the price, so I thought I’d try and describe this experience to you.

Search for Softness
The Wonderess May 2020
Sister do not mistake
A hardened heart
For a strong
And safe
Home

Your soul will crumble
And be enslaved by
one who’s cold heart
Is made of
Stone!

I wonder who wounded you
The Wonderess Apr 2020
I wonder who wounded you
For you to be this way...
For you to be so callous
And cast love away.

I wonder who wounded you
For you to be this way
I will no longer despise you
But for your healing pray.
Sometimes people hurt us and we regard them as monsters. We harbor hatred and anger for them because of all of the pain they have caused us. Yet something or someone caused them to be this way, so we should pity them instead and pray for their healing.

She has been my greatest lover
My truest companion
My safe haven
My everything
Without her
I am no one,
Nothing

Strength of the Sun
The Wonderess Jun 2020
Sweet Soul, look to
The Sun
Tell me, what does
She symbolize?

That you’re a resilient
One
Who’ll defeat darkness
And Rise!
The Wonderess May 2020
I wish someone
Would give me
That Look...

You know the one
Where they read
You, like
You’re their
Favorite book.
This was random, and not at all an indication of my literary competence but I think I’m done showing off my vocabulary for the day. I want my last piece for today to showcase my feelings, to which I hope you all can relate. If I ever meet the love of my life I want him to admire me and be intrigued by my every detail, the way a person is mesmerized by their favorite piece of literature.

You are not the Sun
The Wonderess May 2020
I existed without you
Before
I do not need you that is
For sure
Although our love was
Intense
And it may be trying to
Commence
With my life, all on my own,
there is a difference between
Lonely and alone.
You played with my heart like
A yo-yo
In a painful game of
To-and-fro
You could not love me
Or let me go
But I am gone now
So...
You undermined my incredible
Worth
But you are not the sun, and I
The Earth
I radiate my own powerful
Light,
I possess incomprehensible
Might

Out, out your evil is
Cast
Your kind of darkness will
Never
Last.
The Wonderess May 2020
I am lost for words,
As I am lost for love
I cry out aloud,
Seeking guidance from above

Do you hear me Great Spirit
When I painfully cry out?
Perhaps you too are deaf,
To everything I shout

Do you see my sorrow
Or do my tears evaporate
Maybe, I am scorned by you
As the others me hate

I am created from dust,
They remind me everyday
Their words like a hurricane,
Blow my hope away

Yet here I am before you,
Pleading yet again
Release me from this anguish
And from all of them

Monsters lurk amongst us
We become their slaves
We nominate them as leaders:
They lead us to our graves

Insignificant are the powerless
To the tyrants who roam around
The strong only grow stronger
Trodding the weak into the ground.

We are meant to be equals
Everyone, you and I;
Being born and raised
Under the same sky

Yet we are treated
So differently...
Tell me, where is the
Human in Humanity?
To quote Jimi Hendrix, when the power of love overcomes the love of power then the world shall know peace.
