Whisks and Kisses (Tanka)

 

Wonder woke with isms 

Amidst a lavender scent 

Cuddles and charming 

Lures beyond the high mountains 

And we kiss beneath the stars.

The Animal in Man

They can kill our bodies but not our souls,

This splattered blood isn’t our dreams being

Drained from every essence of what makes us us.
They can sew our lips tight but our voices will always get louder.

The scars, blisters and burns on our necks

Are our pride, a victory to show how we overcame.

Through all this, you see us as all things bad,

Black or White skin; we are all the epitome of the gods.

Valley of Woes

Don't ask me why I have become this, this heartless man!?

For I have died a thousands times,

Cried tears that would fill the Nile

And embraced the pain inside like a charm of the darkness,

This life has seen me toll in the sorrows beneath my eternal...

soiled through the smog and forsaken by the sun's warmth

My cause has seen better days,

My heart has been filled with better emotions,

My smile now stretches with the hurt of pretence.

I've lived a million times

Through died in each day I have lived,

What's in a heart when it's pulse is faint without cause to be?

When the dark embrace grips it's bitter claws on you, you'll understand

Why each day is a laborious struggle.

The indignity, the defeat, the culmination of this spoil is overwhelming.  

Eternal Wellaway

Poised in its fate,
Thy heart bequeaths
With sheer gloom…
For thy spirit lives
In a fortress touched
With devotion and all
Hex of blessings.

Thy mortal soul tholes
In thorns of whilom tears,
Thine puissant gardyloo of ruth
Bends light shun by the fie suns.
Sith thine fall of grief,
Thy heart knows no love,
Thy soul burns in odium,
Thy mind sees no day.

Shattering sweven,
Broken hope:
Fear gnaws thy joy
And I slumber in its darkness,
With endless pain
Thou wast without a heart
Is what thou hast become.
Thou dost a heart for thee?
Thou be’st a slayer of thee!
Thou aye, thou…
Gaze into thy eyne?
Kiss thy wish with glee!

Dawn of Meaninglessness

One by one
My acid tears fall,
Like hail they fall,
Who told the night to kill?
Lifeless veins of lost time
Steal the verve to breathe,
Without meaning it takes life.

Blood on my mind,
Fear on the floor,
This sorrow is my own,
It pours out leaving chills
And a void of torment,
For the life that once was,
For the child that once cried
Time has burnt her heart
And eaten her memories...
Without cause it kills.

The promise to reminisce
On the bright days we touched,
The young life you lived,
You sit crying on the shoulder
Of the angel with dark wings.
Forsaken by life,
Treasured by strife,
Mothered by this knife,
Yet loved by grief.

Still darkness rises
Like dew its stab will die,
Eternal silence befalls,
Sleep my fallen child,
Dream like a nightingale
And hold still your heart
In this silent gale of dead
And forsaken emotions.

One day...
Your heart will beat,
Like before your eyes
Will dry and bare witness
To the beauty of yore,
The ache of your soul
Will seal with a life unbroken.

Dunes of Fear

My bare bleeding feet

Bare scars of our sore farewell's treat,

My crimson infects smudge earth…

They are my broken foot prints

Follow them and embrace

My oblivious sprint.

These tears tear me

Taste their saltiness

And fill me with your sulk.

Your eyes as white as milk

Smirk with lust for blood.

I can't do it alone,

I‘ll surely drown in the fear

That lives in me,

Help me swim through this lake

Of forsaken souls.

I look above and paint

The sky with weakness.

My grief reigns over me

The feel of ice enthralls my torn heart,

A touch on numbness slays my mortal essence,

O’ come sway my aching ghoul.

This fear feasts upon my clout

A crease of terror divides mind

I’m afraid, not of death but leaving

This heaven I created…

Unloved

 A nymph though she is the mirrors

In her mind reflect that which shes not,

A feud between love and hate resides

In her emotionless mind as she sits

Thinking what they all hate.

Out of body and out of mind

Her sorrow leaves her faceless…

They were all too busy for her…

She couldn't take it anymore…

The deception was too overwhelming,

She had to do it…

They cant believe what she did,

She’s not hurting anymore.
