"keres" poems - Hello Poetry

I am wrapped in her algid arms. I am lost in her evocative glare. I stand, environed by the Keres, Those dilapidated demons. Azrael, my craven shadow, clings To me as a vulture stalks its prey. Thanatos does each step possess Forward into this acidulous air. Fissured masks release languid screams That fall upon pallid faces that have Long since wilted in her Stygian womb. Enervated laughs drone in mangy ears. I stand on the periphery of this Asphyxiating cistern. I ambulate Across this sable field that shall Become the executioner’s blade.

I am wrapped in her algid arms. I am lost in her evocative glare. I stand, environed by the Keres, Those dilapidated demons. Azrael, my craven shadow, clings To me as a vulture stalks its prey. Thanatos does each step possess Forward into this acidulous air. Fissured masks release languid screams That fall upon pallid faces that have Long since wilted in her Stygian womb. Enervated laughs drone in mangy ears. I stand on the periphery of this Asphyxiating cistern. I ambulate Across this sable field that shall Become the executioner’s blade.

Alas, I am only moments away Be quick and painless should you be Coward I may be but sweet Departure will set me free Evergreen my soul shall remain Forgotten my name so let it befall Go my shadows and run free Hurt I shall no longer feel Iapetus bids me farewell Janus takes my hand Keres caroled hymns of a psyche finally joining the band Loving the way that fate has been cruel My steps begin to falter as Nostalgia suddenly embraces me Once more I am at the cross roads Played by to suffer forever I will be Quest of mine, I failed you Reaching for eternal bliss Seduced to cut loose To be far away from my own inferno Understood my reasons will never be Vain your pleas will become Walls of Jericho crumbled down as did my spirit Xenophobic our world has turned out Young and carefree cease to exist Zealotry towards living shall soon come to pass

I will be a good girl, my parents say I should. A passerby subtly clutched her ***** I heaved a sigh. I will be a good girl, my teachers say I should A boss held her ***** I perfected my mascara. I will be a good girl, my aunt say I should A man forced a kiss. I reapplied my lipstick. I will be a good girl, my neighbors say I should A husband fired violent words. I closed my eyes bowed my head. I will be a good girl, my friends say I should A rapper ***** I cried tears of blood. I will be a good girl, my society says I should A woman was bled to death. I stood emotionless. They said be a good girl… Good is tears, Good is blood. Good is sudor, Good is action. Good is sacrifice, Good is revenge. Good is joy, Good is deaths. One day Goodness will be re-defined, When inside these women, is born Keres.

I'll be a good girl

I will be a good girl, my parents say I should. A passerby subtly clutched her ***** I heaved a sigh. I will be a good girl, my teachers say I should A boss held her ***** I perfected my mascara. I will be a good girl, my aunt say I should A man forced a kiss. I reapplied my lipstick. I will be a good girl, my neighbors say I should A husband fired violent words. I closed my eyes bowed my head. I will be a good girl, my friends say I should A rapper ***** I cried tears of blood. I will be a good girl, my society says I should A woman was bled to death. I stood emotionless. They said be a good girl… Good is tears, Good is blood. Good is sudor, Good is action. Good is sacrifice, Good is revenge. Good is joy, Good is deaths. One day Goodness will be re-defined, When inside these women, is born Keres.

Pierce you good with an arrow Knock you down like a bowling pin… Call up pain and marry sorrow Because my spirit’s such that I’ll win You’ve nails in the lid of a box Have convinced all that that coffin is mine… But like a key that blows up the locks Think of me as that looming stop sign That you shall face eventually, no doubt It will **** the calm from your frame… Call the truth from your treacherous mouth That you may finally taste your earned shame… And yet still he is luckier than I, He who’s bought a true heart with a lie.

STOLEN CHOICE (THE KERES SONG)

Pierce you good with an arrow Knock you down like a bowling pin… Call up pain and marry sorrow Because my spirit’s such that I’ll win You’ve nails in the lid of a box Have convinced all that that coffin is mine… But like a key that blows up the locks Think of me as that looming stop sign That you shall face eventually, no doubt It will **** the calm from your frame… Call the truth from your treacherous mouth That you may finally taste your earned shame… And yet still he is luckier than I, He who’s bought a true heart with a lie.
