Indulgence

 

Seven dragons, seven sins –

 

Wicked gapes, impious grins.

 

One comes out in the fall of night

 

Where betrayal mounts as souls ignite.

 

The second lurks as sinner’s sleep – under blankets in souls it creeps

 

Giving birth to selfish lust, beckoning forth the third from dust

 

The fourth unlocks deathly hollow, enchanting fools that lean to follow

 

Rapt by the beauty of pure deception – two souls mark the fifth inception.

 

It locks them into aching chains as the sixth arises from the flames –

 

The shackles rip their futile skins but yearning still holds them in

 

Oh, indeed such tragic end for two sinners to be condemned!

 

As the seventh breaths its fire – both burn from cruel desire.

 

Yes seven dragons, seven sins –

 

With wicked gapes and impious grins

 

Oh what was done should not have been, if it not for seven sins.

 

 

 

 

 

Reverie

 

A thousand dreams, a thousand wishes

Soft touches -

Sweet kisses.

A thousand leaves, fallen hopes,

Blown by the wind,

As dreams elope.

Throughout the gardens, throughout the skies,

One hello – hard goodbyes.

Loving strokes throughout the years,

Now replaced by a thousand tears.

Say goodbye , say goodbye –

Now let me go as I try.

Whisper songs, whisper sounds,

Whisper words – never found

A thousand hopes, a thousand wishes,

Say Farewell –

With painful kisses.

Yes my love, we’ll take it slow –

Until we have both let go. 

Never Know

You will never know what nightmares lie coiled in my bed.

You will never know the words I’ve never said.

You will never know the demons that lurk inside.

You will never know the things I try to hide.

You will never know what evil has devoured my mind.

You will never know about the things you cannot find.

You will never know what lies beneath these almond eyes.

You will never know the truth behind those lies.

You will never know why I had to let you go.

Now, you will never know about the things you’d never know. 

Scribbled words

scribbling words late at night
dying smiles and falling tears
tick tock! the clock is moving
without stopping
let’s make it quick
before i fall asleep
tick…. tock….

SONNET

As I sat and stared at the faultless moon,

I watch as its light glisten in my face.

I knew well that this day would come too soon,

Shadows have come to curse my dreadful fate.

I linger as the moon slowly lose light,

As darkness reeks in this room where I lay,

I tremble as the silhouettes take flight,

And I wait as my mind leads me astray.

Silence – I cannot hear even a sound,

Not even my own cry of agony,

Is there anyone out lurking around?

Watching as I rot in pure casualty.

The silence – it nips – too painful to bear,

Fatality! I wail my last despair.

Light

We turn around from the streets we once knew,

Now empty with no light in sight.

The silence echoes as I watched how we gave up on this fight.

 

I shout your name but you couldn’t hear me –

Still I ran towards you.

But like a ghost, you couldn’t see… because you weren’t looking through.

 

So I looked… I looked into those eyes – those eyes now empty and bare.

Couldn’t you see?

No… I guess not, because those eyes weren’t looking at me.

 

And then she came, she came just right on time.

To lead you out of this shattered place.

But why –Why would you put it all to waste?

 

Wasn’t this your home – wasn’t this the home that we tried to build?

I know it’s dark.

But I lit a candle – but I guess it too had lost its spark.

 

So I watched you go – I watched as you left these streets we once knew,

Now empty.. with no light in sight.

I knew….. that we lost this fight.

 

Halfway

…  and he opened the door and dragged me outside,

But my clutches kept me on his disconsolate side.

“please own me over again”, I cried and begged

But he kept inflicting his rage on my heart and head.

I buried myself so I could preserve his existence,

and like a bitter pill, he effaced my worth and senses.

Fast forward from the past to the present,

I watch myself crumble in this dysphoric confinement.

“relinquish his grip on my life”, I cried and prayed.

But some nights, the idea of flying makes me extremely afraid.
