POEMS Page 9


Creepy Mid-World Crisis

with dark pleasure the web crawler
walked in from the rain
having traverse a gloomy city
that thrives on quiet pain

he had looked on sad lanes
watched lonely figures of night-shifters
trying to be what they were not
elegant and life of the party

it pleasured him
that they share his loneliness
but it terrified him too
so he came into his dimly lighted house

he passed into another world
colourful and fantastic, magical
he wanted it, eagerly reached out
and they all turn to dusts

the web crawler stinking with shame
with dark roaring anger in his mind
screaming with a despairing heart
began to destroy the realm's essence

then the light brigade trooped in
began to defend their little domain
words of incantations and appeasement
slowly pushed the darkness away

within the magical land
a gentle cleansing began
the hornets slowly left
peace reigned again.

Crossed Messages
the jewels she wore
were not as sparkling
as her eyes
as she looked at him
in her adoration
alas, he never noticed her
and she died within

he noticed her at the corner
looking at him fiercely
as if he sinned
for watching her
walking out of the door
and looking back he saw
relief in her eyes.

Crossing the Heart
If pain can be measured by the bushels    
no gurney sacks would be empty
and stacked against the fence
that she set up around her heart    

if the number of time he left
can be counted on the fingers
of both hands and all her toes
more fingers should be grown

why is she still waiting for him
one day he will no longer need her
love will have died a natural death    
she is still watering her hopes

She knows love will surely die
she sighs remembering his goodbye
the dusts in the air shifts
she smiles as her tears flow

Again
At least she's still feeling.

Crushed Underground
he walks into my heart
through words written
graceful from the start
until the very end

he twists his words
forming sharp knives
plunging into my mind
opening up old wounds

yet truth he shares
resounds in my awareness
wishes that beginnings
can start at the ending.

Crying is to stop from Dying
why are you crying 
why are you grieving 
he hasn't died 
he just moved on


a trail of rose petals
strewn on the path
towards her mama's grave
she wishes she is there too

tears, what are they 
a trail on your cheeks 
on to your lips 
for something you never had


confessions and promises
are as logs floating in the river
carried by crystal water of life
a river bend lend new scenes

tears for an imagined hurt 
never really knowing why 
You feel its ending 
the simple will to live


the rice cold on the bowl
on the table untouched
there is a typhoon out there
she wishes she is on its path

Are there other words 
to 'Im sorry' or 'Loving you' 
or versions of 'Be Safe' 
maybe there are who knows 

she is crying to stop from dying
grieving to stop from haunting
old frames old words caches
of memories...and hopes.

Cthulhu
born in labyrinthine 
webs of gangrenous
mind dark within
the human thoughts
it awakes
with its minions

taking over, conquer
congregate
hissing mewling newborns
waiting to be heard
dripping saps
of deadly poison

Evoked by chants
from the book of the dead
Necromonicon
they whisper in awe
the old gods awake

writhing mass
of unspeakables
from within the core
of the earth
the sulphuric mass

Beware, speak not
nor whisper their names
for they hear
will not content
their mind with mere death

but drag you to deepest
hell, and enjoy your screams
and plea for mercy
they will never die
for they killed death

caverns of cloying darkness
is their domain
but call you their name
and you are doomed
heed not
The Call of Cthulhu.

Curiouser and curiouser
When she came to...

the seagulls didn't stop mid-flight
the stars didn't fall out of the heavens
but it was a sudden thought
that woke her up from her slumber

its was a series of knots untied
little lumps like prayer beads
questions marks hanging over her head
about what lies beyond the mountain

what was beyond the forests
what and who lived there
where did the river start
and where would it end

and those were just thoughts
as she tied her shoe laces
taking up her bags
going on her journey

eons passed and still thinking
and never getting there
the journey that began
a long time ago
had yet to end....

always forward and towards
whatever lies beyond.

Cybernetic Romance
Sunrise on the Eastern Sky
As it crawls to midnight in yours
A yawn and a good morning
I whisper as I log on
I see your name and I smile
My beloved is online

A smiley, a hi
And we are both on high
Romance in the air
We are, in datas
That tick and click into the bank
Of the CPU

I gaze and adore your avatar
A knight, a smith
A bard, a minstrel
A man, a lover
A messenger so swift
A poet of old

You speak your mind
I understand
You pour out your heart
Shaking me to my core
For you say without constraint
What need to be said…

Your wish for love
For truth and honesty
For adoration sent from up above
Your need for togetherness
Your need for surcease
Of life’s unhappiness

You say them all
To me without restraint
Your likes, dislikes
Your needs and wants
Your desires
Your aspirations

We talk of love
Of loving and giving
Pleasures and delights
In our worldly realms
Of dreams of fulfillment
And a coming together

The night grows old
And hanker for dawn
We say goodnight
A smiley on hold
A click, a waving smiley
Computer shutdown.

Cycles of Karma
to breath again the sweet life's scents
of love and life, to give to laughter
earthly bound through a cycle doom
to live out a life to sire more souls
those I plead to cycle through

bitter bread had this soul broken
of poverty and hunger had traverse
a chance, a time to live again
to pay a debt to human born
a brief time, nay, a clock's chime
lay me back to earth, karma to serve.

Cymbals of Freedom
Raindrops from clouds of grey
Pouring rain on arid fields
Gushes of cold wind
Against the barren land
Landscapes of my mind

Falling golden circles
On deep murky water
Of stagnant pool deep in dark forests
Falling dead leaves on top
Scenes replayed as the paper is signed

Screaming banshees and shrieking harpies
Discordant sounds of wailing mourners
Slaps of flagellating whips on backs
Thumps of fists on chests
Regrets that plagued my heart

Walking out single once more
Ring-less  finger ever so light
What price freedom
From loveless union
Just sad scenes played and re-played

Empty home, ringing with silence
Walls sighing with memories
Sing the house with loneliness
No strewn boxers, no empty beer cans
Just a resounding stillness, my freedom.

Damn for Eternity
Murderer of infants
of old women
of man’s sleep...
You are Damn
For you walk
on legs chained
on the edge
of hot Gehenna
dead yet undead
and with everlasting
dread, you fear
falling into the
swirling pit of darkness…

Filled with hatred
Malevolence and rage
of the damned
shrieks and screams
madness and insanity
gobbling and cackling
moaning the damnation
Murderer you are
Eternal you pay
For all despair
Sorrow and grief
That you executed
You are damn!

Dance Of  The Phoenix 
What does it take
to make
the gracious break ,
tenaciously ,
evasively
advances around you skate ,
you never take the bait ,
do you ever quake
with milk and glass ,
a strawberry
would you make mine a shake
 
Gracious is as gracious still
A bough unbent with laden snow
The bait is sweet, honey combed
To taste from them is indulgence
To skate apart the pattern strives
To meet in the midst and make a bow
With graceful rhythm and Rhyme
 
If you wait much longer
the pain it just gets stronger ,
the loneliness it takes away
confidence , a price to pay
not of less
but in a big way
and you my grace
Cannot give that away
you are the best
of all great days
you're the zed in zest
and there you waste ,
with all the finest
passion on parade ,
if you need a high lift
I'm here every day
 
A road travelled
Promises to keep
A love like you knew
For one you once had
Is also mine to feel
To bear allegiance to one
Until as such the bough do break
And wander I, upon the bleak
wilderness of my wasted land
 
Through the flame
the orange glow
or the pitch of note ,
the celo's groan ,
we fly the same
carpet that floats ,
your soul I crave
your boat I'll row ,
your life I'd save
and let mine go
for you were made
for me …I know
 
The heart does glow
The soul does sing
This human coil does spark
I thank you now
The utmost honour you bring
To this unworthy being
I beg you now to acquiesce
Be lover loved in Maya space
Never to be second best
For though, Your arms are strong,
The curl of your hands
So sensuous
Your lips passionate in its promises,
your eyes melts mortal women’s hearts
Stronger is my promises
And honour is my code  
 
You honour
what you  cannot see ,
respect of a dishonesty
you sit and wait
make no mistake ,
as your phone does
refuse to shake ,
you bide by a code
but the liar  , he does break ,
excuses get told  ,
he refuses what's gold  ,
defused in the cold  ,
at the bottom of loves lake .
 
I bow humbled by your words
Of truth in the telling
Of fruits in the making
Of disappointment and hurt
That’s coming
I persevere for my sake
For I would hate me otherwise
I wait with bated breath indeed
For love at last to ring the bell
Should I fall before that dawn,
Hate me not for being a clown
My epitaph do write
Here lies one who loved well
 
Rest in peace
oh lovely grace
for I can see
what is your fate
on new years eve
alone and late
you were deceived
and your heart , it did break .

Dancing on Starlight
on nights when velvet skies
are dotted with sparkling stars
I think of you dancing across
the galaxy, with tails of moonbeams

the enigmatic smile, the lovely eyes
dreamily looking into their own
memories, or maybe a magical future
or thoughts of handprints in the heart

on dup nights reading your thoughts
sometimes you speak of your love
at times your hopes your dreams your fears
then, I could almost touch you

tears of happiness prickle my eyes
as you profess your love for the one
of sadness and sorrow as you grief
that is the strength of your words

I know you know pain and disappointment
I know you shook hands with fear
You had looked into the abyss
And knew the horror of what might be

a minute of your strength
will be of great length for me
a fraction of your endurance
can be an achievement for me

but through all those, the beauty
of being oneself, a screaming win
against waking nightmares
loving hard, and striding on stronger,

is your triumph.

Dancing to Charades
A moonlit bay, dancing alone
To the rhythm of the ocean
Bathed in colourless despair
Caressed by coldness
Holding within my heart
A bouquet of lies

Remembrance like fragrance
Of wilting flowers
Merciless in its presence
Turning stakes within a broken heart
The final wave of goodbye
Repeated movies in my mind

The ‘I love yous’
In lovers’ passion throes
Nothing but keys to doors
Of brief encounters
What I thought was promises of forever
Were ashes on kissed lips

Lover’s divine gifts
A lovely masquerade
A passionate charade
Of endless deep love
Left like fallen confetti
At the altar of an empty church

Loneliness is my lover tonight
Constantly loving me long and hard
Desolation court me with love
Whispering promises of misery
To embrace me with passion
Heart held hostage in a masquerade.

Dark Embraces in the Blue
A collaboration with Souladareatease

magical hues, twinkling starlights 
rushing through scrambled universe 
cool the air on throbbing silver wings 
flying towards the beloved with love 


carriage calling for home 
star shine speck gleaming 
brace bound dreams graze with conditioned trust 
ripples far flung blow emotions rush 


portholes open into the night 
breaths' vapours lend matte 
dream scenes on luminous glass 
joyful sights of tomorrow's hopes 


kisses tending blow from Heaven 
hello goodbye embracing instant 
clippings for fresh feathers stretch 
borne bright for Gods eye 


happy hopes for kindred meet 
dreams behind fluttering closed eyes 
memories of distant adieu 
making sweet the welcoming smiles 


Elysium fields roll out golden 
quests acquire breath of butterfly 
calm slips tranquil drifting aloft 
place upon kismet ever dawn 


then dreams sputter in terror bind 
flying iron and steel vessel shudders 
silhouetted against the darkened skies 
it shudders as Aurora Borealis manifests 


She drags close, despair hugging earth 
set sad eyed cross brisk divide 
fear trembled waves from family, friends 
pounding of hearts race screaming peace 


the blue below welcoming rages 
the turbulence of oceans await 
the wind that in unison screams 
with those strapped on their seat 


sold unto fate for pennies 
beholden for thy presence given 
fragile life propels pulse into immortal 
all time is caught captured oblivion


As an eagle with broken wings 
as a dragon with fiery roar 
diving to towards the turbulent blue 
the iron vessel screams down 


Slapped harsh along silent wide openings 
desolate whippings besting we without knowledge 
howls heard for scraps of hope 
Safety gone with numbers lost 


indignant voices unheard, fiery bubbles stop 
they are brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers 
living and dying within one belly 
the silver sarcophagus lie supine to rust 
*this collab was inspired by the recent airplane disappearance*

Dark Lover in a Camaro
Dark deeds unflawed by remorse 
Nothing guilt touched nor sense 
Murder of souls, deeded  to devils 
Or minions of the underworld 
Have nothing to it indeed 
This is the tale that I will tell 
Of such dark deeds as yet untold 
The house at the top of the hill 
Where two women fair used to dwell 
A man did come and stay one day 
O but what a handsome man was he 
He wooed and won the hearts 
Of both the maiden in a row 
The eldest during the consummation 
Was fed a sleeping potion 
It made her sleep all night you see 
The potion was strong  indeed 
The younger he did lavish love 
So fine and fun that she did scream 
For more and more and many between 
The leash off her maiden confine 
She did enjoy 
But when midnight came, he did transform 
To a hideous beast he was 
A cross of wolf, serpent and worm 
He took her pleasure to the brim 
Of madness with his expertise 
He mated with her without and within 
And in his pleasure he burst her in 
Her seams all gone splattered on the wall 
The gore and blood from her body 
Drained on the floor with nothing to pick 
A tired man he was when he transformed 
And cleaned the floor of all the bloody trash 
Next night the older woman woke 
To an ardent lover all unrestrained 
Lapping her up from head to toe 
She was engulfed in passionate throes 
Oh how she cried for more and more 
Of the pleasure that went up and down 
Her supple pretty body, so unclad 
The owl did screech 
The banshees scream 
For when she reached her passion extreme 
He turned to beast once again 
And fed on her  with passionate ravenousness 
That dawn did come with hollow light 
The house on the hill was silent 
A lone man drove away 
Black clad in his silver Camaro 
A smile on his face
