Wild Thing
Perhaps I am not just a flowerSoft and delicatePerhaps I am a weedOr more than thatUnwanted but growingVigorous and wild Perhaps I am not just a flowerIndeed, easily plucked butPerhaps I am more thanThe grass you stompStubborn and persistent I am pliant and resilient Maybe I am not just a flowerMaybe I am something more…

Succumb
Let your fire burn me ’til this longing is quenched,I’d be thrilled to submit to your passionate torment;Let your flame melt this frosty spell ’til I drip in elation,I’d be delighted to succumb to this ecstatic possession…

Thrill
Penetrate the crevice of my oasisSlowly dip into the cleft of my wanton desireOr plunge like a skilled diverAnd swim with the waves of thrillUntil you find the sweetest pleasureThe pinnacle of our euphoriaTogether let us ride withThe raging tempest of ecstasy…

Abandoned
You grew weary But here I stay faithfullyWith my fatigued soul You wandered farI wait for your returnPerhaps you’ll never come back Our storms were giganticYou were lanky and weakThe vows I spoke made you sick You left, I stayedAnd your words torment me moreEven when you’re gone Why did you make oathsYou cannot keep?

Art of Deception
Hungry for power. Abuse. Fear. It’s dissipating like a virusPlaguing our chaste purposeThe more we try to curb the infectionThe more we are infectedStealth dispersion of infliction.We are downtroddenWe are doomedWe become victims. Abuse of power. Fear.They spread like wildfireAnd we are burningWhat’s the use of our struggle?Indeed, we are but lowly servantsBut do we all…

Play Me
I sit in the cornerAlone and forgottenBruised by timeRavished by fateMaybe I already forgot to singFor I was robbed of my voice You used to cherish meAcclimated with your touchWe were one, perfect for each otherYou adored me in all my gloryNow I am in this nookWallowing in melancholy Then came that dreadful timeYou relinquished…

Affliction
This afflictionIs perpetual torture.Cries clogged my throatStingingBloodshot eyes,Heart-wrenching reality,Repressed lamentsAnd muffled cries… As I crouched down on the cold floor,Hugging my trembling kneesI let my tears fallUnder the cold waterWishing all this burdenWould go down the drain.But it didn’t.It torments me more.I covered my mouthTo suppress a screamYet my heart agonizesSeverely.I felt its faint beatingAs…

Need to escape
It’s broad daylight but I see darkness,The sun is up and warm but I feel cold,Everybody’s talking around me,But why does it seem quiet here and gloomy?I search for your eyes hoping they’ll find me,I long for your touch hoping it’ll soothe me,I desire your kiss wishing it’ll help me forgetThe agony I am currently…

Intrusion
Pardon my intrusion dear sir,But you only speak highly of yourself.The ill deeds you committed,Have you contemplated it yet?Or have you gone blind to discern the truth,Deaf to hearken the plea?Pardon my audacious approach, sireBut you only speak debauchery.

Perhaps
If you were in my shoes,You would know how many miles I walked,You would see how many times I tripped,You would feel how it’s like to rip apart(But what can I do? To you, I was just some disposable stuff.)If you were in my shoes,PerhapsYou would know how many times I got tiredBut continued to…

Poet’s Way
You speak of words glazed with honeyWhilst you babble, your eyes are dreamy.It creeps into my heart like a serpent,Sugary yet venomous, vile but sweet.Are you a poet? You talk like one.How come your lips smell of scented phrases And drip off with savory utterances.Indeed, very sumptuous for my liking.Oh, are you a knight or a…

Coffee Mood
Your sweetness doesn’t charm me, wrath does.It pacifies me, complementing my cumbersome mood.I love the brewing hurricane, the aroma of chaosWaking me up in an elegiac morn, keeping me alive.How do you like your coffee though? Mine’s like that.

Summer
May the summer breeze warm the heartOf those who were left, whose lovers hath depart.May their cheeks be kissed by the sun,May they never again be broken…

Stolen Sunrise
If I had never kissed the sleep off your eyes,You wouldn’t have stolen my sunrise away.If I had never kissed the morning dew from your lips,You wouldn’t have stolen my soul away,And now I am imprisoned in this darkest cavernWhere no light permeates to subdue my grief.

Memory Lane
I lost count of how many times I missed a step and fell scraping my knee.I wasn’t stunned at all about how much it pained me.But I found the peace I have been waiting for,My everlasting desire has finally come to me.For quite some time I kept on traipsing down memory lane;The battles I fought,…

New Dawn
The sun will shine like a fresh dew in the mornTo quench the souls with a new love bornAnd the Earth shall smell of the purest scentThe sign of healing and beginning-A new paradise shall bloom.

Ramblings of a sick heart
I didn’t ask you to carry me on this journey, all I wanted is for you to be my guide.You knew from my past journeys, I got lost along the way trying to find the right direction.And when you found me you said you would lead the way.I didn’t tell you to smooth out my…

Starting to befriend the devil
Had packed some stuff and put my sneakers onAll set and ready, gotta hit the road one more time.Headphones on turned the volume upReady to course through the effing odds.I stepped outside, greeted by the glaring sunForced out a smile, crossed my fingers tooAnd with a hopeful spirit, I heaved a sighWishing this day won’t…

Alone
On a cold lonesome night, I dwell aloneNo warmth, no laughter, no light.Almost had I made a pact with sadnessTo tarry in its addicting loneliness-Tempting, bewitching darkness.Perhaps I was desperate to flee or dieYet sooner or later I shall say goodbye.I wallow in the pain, feel it gnaw at my fleshDevouring my sanity, waiting for…

In Memory of Me
Her innocence was robbedHer trust was rapedShe suffered in silenceWhile you laugh deriding at her idiocy.Your sugar-coated words Sweetened her soulDamn! Curse you!You were a master of deception.You used to be her dream,But you gave her nightmares.To you, she was an insignificant story,Alas, you became her miseryAnd into the valley of death, she fledWhile her tears…
-
Torment
I’ll close my eyes to ne’er see the horrendous tragedy,Shut my ears against the screams of recurring agony.So, I must take a break from pain or sorrowAnd sleep like there’s no tomorrow.But if tomorrow I won’t see the sun againCertain that I will be saved from going insane.Yet, it will be a joy for me…

The beer got me good this time
Felt my head pounding with an excruciating sting.Wait, did I just hear someone whistling?Yet I saw visions reflected before meFlashing night lights, well, are they?Maybe I long to see a thousand visions of theeNot the dancing fireflies, not St. Elmo’s fire,But your fire that’ll consume the whole of me.Still, my head hurts like hell, such…

A war broke out inside my brain
A war broke out between angels and devilsVying for freedom, perhaps supremacy And I can feel their strengths as theyHurl lances and mortars hitting my fences.I cry out in each blow, I tremble in anguish.This misery I endure, how will it vanish?Gladiators stomped in like giants Throwing fists, blades and armors clanking.For days, they battle unwavering they…

Dope
Poured wine down my throatTo drown my wicked thoughts but,My heart cried instead. Tried to sober up I was already drowningIn pain and tears, tragedy. Nightmare tasted sweetFine poison aged like wineBut I puked it out… ‘Cause I will sufferFated to agonize moreTorture, sweet torture. The pain and pleasureOh, started loving itPain and pleasure more If…

When he held me captive in the dark
I didn’t hold back the tears threatening to flowWhen the sunset did glimmer its final glow,I watched as the dim curtain drew inAnd felt its strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle off his steel hold,Tenacious was he, so I’ve been told.Oh, I recall a few wanted to put out my fire,Too obsessed to…

Fading to black
Her mournful sobs doth echo in the night,While the crickets sing hymns of travesty;Her heartbeat faltering like the fading lightFor your affection, her soul’s thirsty.Then the church bell starts tolling death.Alone in the dark, she was shivering.Cursed she was, her illness was not a myth.Doom her life met, she was withering.

Smudges
I wish I could paint my skin with sunset huesSo I could look bewitching even in this darkness,But these monstrous scrapes and scars, and lesions,Embellish my sky.Some tried to cover it up with lies and left even without a goodbye,And in the canvas remains the smudges of thoseWho tried to repaint it but fled with…
-
The Gallows
Laid out all my cards like there was no tomorrowBut that bitter-sweet game only gave me sorrow.If I had stayed within the confines of my keepPerhaps I could still enjoy a peaceful sleep.But as selfish as you were, you wouldn’t let me beI took the fall, but my suffering, you wouldn’t seeWho should be blamed…

Change
Seasons change and life seems an endless journeyAnd though we sometimes wish otherwise,Life ceases but time ticks by unceasing.And oh, the rain pours down unexpectedlyWhen just a wink ago, the sun was blazing,And who knows what might happen nextWhen life is full of surprises in betwixt.We witness the dawn break into new hopesAnd watch the…

Solitary Confinement
Must I go back to where I wasTo the place where I was confined alone,When I wandered far from homeIt sheltered me inside cold walls.Though it kept me withheld in doorsAnd silence was my companion,It never let me feel sad and alone,Hence, on its shoulders I clung on.Perhaps I was blind for I couldn’t seeNobody…

Ghosts
There’s something in the night that she fears.There’s something in its silence that torments her.There comes the rain, it terrifies her moreThe raindrops feel like needles pricking her torn heart.

Memory Lane
In this nameless street where sorrow and joy meetWith a tempestuous mind and unsteady heartbeat Quite dull and feeble, battered with exhaustionI walk still very unable to contain my emotion. Traipsing down on memory lane perhaps,Recollection of the gleeful past perhaps,Though wearisome as it may seem, I mustWalk along, rest if need be, but I mustn’t stop.But,…

The Road To The West
I’m in the middle of the roadThat to the East, there, to the WestWhich road must I chooseWhen I often think I am lost?Must I take the road to the westMaybe I’ll find peace and solace,There in the land of the dead,There in that forgotten land,Maybe I could rest.This exhaustion is gnawing at mePerhaps it’s…

Shall You Find Me Not At The Necropolis
Shall you find me not at the NecropolisSearch for me, maybe, on the shoreFor I may be sitting on the dockI’ll be waiting to be found by thee. But if you let me a-wander after thisKnow that I will still understand you moreI’d tarry till night-time to try my luckI’d be waiting still until you…

Meet me at the Necropolis
When the final breath escape from my parched lipsAnd this frail, cold and lifeless body demiseWill you weep and cry a river upon this lossOr will you rejoice and be gratefully joyous? When my body finally meet its resting placeFreed from the torture of horrible monsters,Will I then obtain my dearly desired peaceOr still, be…

Nameless Street
Took the ride off to the countrysideEven without you by my sideStill hoping you’d meet me somewhereBut you were never there.Sadly, I couldn’t see you aroundYou were nowhere to be found.I was alone, lost and torn andTears cascaded like waterfalls.My knees gave up, down I knelt.Hopes flew, courage did melt.Might better be numb, thought I.Might…

Bullying, not a fiction
“Hey, dork!” I think this sounds familiarLike the “Hey, ugly duckling!” that’s quite vulgar.“You’re not good enough!” So and so…But I got used to it. So, what’s new? How many tears have I shed soaking my pillow?But I couldn’t cry out loud, I silently wallow.How many times I wished death to take me?Perhaps misfortune graced…

Bullying: a reality, not poetry
At daytime, it hunts me like a stalker.At night, it haunts me like a nightmare.It cuts deep through my soulThat leaves scars, an everlasting tattoo. It preys on my confidenceAnd binds me in decadence.Have I been told to clapback?I was. For I, too, wished to bounce back. But as frail as I was, I crumbled.My…

Goner
A deep raspy voice called to me, “Come hither, come hither,Follow my voice, come to me.”As fear embraced me, I shudder.Towards my demise, I walk nigher.Damn! It dawned on me that I’m a goner.

Her Final Wish
“If I were to vanish from the face of the earth,I wish to convey my message to the people I cherish.And I shall commence it on this note;Do not shed a tear for my passing,’’ “And if I shall be granted with my request,On top of the mound, do not plant red rosesFor I prefer…

Here Lies The Soul of the Tricked
Here, lies the soul of the tricked Some say she’s weird; others say she’s wicked.But what matters most in this instanceWhen she was a victim of a circumstance. She loved true. Was it a sin?She fought for her love but what did she gain?She loved and lost the most cruel way.Would you pity her? Would you…

The Heart That Once Loved True Lies Here
You proclaimed your intent too sweet for her liking,Perhaps it was one of those scripted litanies.Her naïve heart swooned over your tender words,Unaware her peaceful world would crumble. For quite a while she danced gayly,Oblivious to the looming malady.She sang melodies, laughed her heart outLiving in fantasy, without a hint of doubt. But one day,…

Waiting
There is agony in waiting when time ticks slowThe unanswered riddles, the waves of skepticismThe surges of turmoil are a dreadful reality… Agonized are those who wait for what may or may not come.

Last Sunset
I blinked away the tears threatening to flowWhen the last sunset faded its glow,I watched as the curtains of grim clouds drew in,Felt your strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle-off from your steel hold,Could do nothing but to let the story unfold.You stoked the fire, lit me up with a single sparkWhen you…

Remember Me
Remember me…Through the breeze on a cold morning,Through the crisp wind on a warm evening,Through the pale glow from the moonlight,Or the flickering neon lights on a lazy night.Search me through the crowd in the bustling streets,On the crossroads or passers-by in front of your car, When the red light is on while you’re behind…

Wanderer

Journey
And if by chance, I’d meet you down the road,I pray you’d help me with this burdensome loadFor, my feet are weary, this journey is scaryThe road is long, exhausting, and tricky.But I’m ready to face the consequences, I must say,Aye! This quest shall go on, come what may.

Escape
If I could escape from my demons by being with you,And if having you could make me forget the torment,And if this borrowed moment would be perpetual,I’ll have you near me often or be wherever you are,And If this fleeting time with you would mean forever,I’d choose to bask in this glory ’til it obliterates…
