"lustering" poems
A part of me smoulders within..
When the world is serene
And the eye resists a lonely tear..
The loneliness embraces my conscience,
and the lullaby of memories lures me to the lane..
Where the mothers's lap complemented a nap..
Where the Dad's jokes evoked pathos..
The friend's smirk,
The brother's ****
The bickering girls,
The lustering guys,
The barbie attire,
The teacher's satire,
And the useless tinkling laughter..
And when I drag myself to the prevailing adolescence,
All I think for,
All I lust for..
Is the sweet lullaby of memories..!

....your fined-tuned beauty
As if a goddess has been reincarnated
to an embodiment as yours
The way your lushious hair is displaced by the wind
And aligned in a perfect mess after settling down
The eyes of yours, as if they were two ponds
under a full lunar beam
reflecting mysteries into my heart
Your eyelashes are like the grass
surrounding the fathomless pond
covered with glimmering droplets of dew
to complement the eyes of yours
Your face, a mark of true beauty
which signifies your pure heart
And a smile of yours
from your mesmerising lips
can make any mens' day
Your laugh
gigling in shyness
was a habit for you
but it was and will always wil be
beautiful
The humility of yours
was too much
It was just, so wrong to see such a humbled woman
Your humility defeated me
When you are drowning with sadness,
I will be there to rescue you from the horrendous flood
When you are eaten by depression
I will be the one to pull you back up
from the belly of the beast.
When you are cold, alone and lost
I will the Sun to provide you warmth
I will the lustering light to guide you
I will be the one to be by your side
(Insert name here), you truly are the one that I want to look after.

You are fallen darkness,
the ghost ship
in the wake of a quarter-moon
Your depth
is like a blue grave
looking back
from a burial at sea
Your hands are shadows
over a campfire
lustering against the lightless
river, palms folding
like prayers over
the embering heat
of driftwood and deadfall
retreating into ash
You are heaven's shoal
of dead stars, the obsidian
lip of the shoreline
I approach without light
The shallow groundswell
of sand un-printing my tracks,
as if to refuse my sunless steps
You are streetlights left behind me
back home, softening now
beyond their dead-end streets.

The poor greedy thing.
It's mouth full yet it wanted more.
What a capricious little thing.
Always had a narcissistic look to it.
A roof over its head.
Food on its plate.
Affectionate for love
but it had it all.
looked up, admired infinite creatures of the sky.
It always felt empty inside
But it had it all.
Poor thing walked around mindlessly so.
It understood most of the concepts of life
Yet it was empty inside.
Until it fell in love
with an asymmetrical creature.
Created by his lustering existence.
It would never have found it,
as it always looked up.
However this time around it looked down.
There it saw
that everything it wanted
was in that creature's mouth.
Soon after, it opened its clasping jaws,
To get what was in that creatures mouth.
And all it ever had, disappeared.
Like the ripples of time in space.

You gave me what I wanted.
Then you left me in the dark.
You played me for a fool.
But that wasn't the end.
That was only the beginning.
I sat there and watched you.
You play the game of give-and-take.
But now I found somebody new. Someone who won't hurt me like you.
No more you and no more me.
The us we used to be is gone.
My tears have cried their last.
No more pain and sorrow from you.
No more hurt No More cuts.
I have found a new and they love me.
Me for me.
And know one else.
This is my happy ending.
This is my story.
Of my life after you.
I Will Survive.
Because I know better days are to come.
Because I have found thee.
The one who died for me.
I found Jesus just in the nick of time.
He saved me from you.
Saved me from your evil hands.
Saved me from your lustering light.
Satan be gone.
Live me to be please.
This I bege of you.
Because hay.
I once was confused but that's no more. Because I found an everlasting Love.
I found one who means more.
I found Christ a never ending love.
And God has my back.
Now and forever.
Amen.
The end...
