ignite the mundane spirit
remind them of hell
remind them what it looks like
guised as a gentle being

Maleficent – not a fairy tale
Where once was light
now darkness falls
her idyllic life
now jailed in walls
Tainted with hues
of emerald spite
what once a regal
grandiose sight
Her throne, enchanted
is now but ruins
of stones misshapened
by love’s undoing
Tragic love story;
far undiscerned:
She loved too deeply,
and deeply she mourned
Now once an innocent
and blissful soul
emerged hell-bent
with wicked goals
From a hero’s princess
in sparkling haven
She drowned in darkness
and rose a villain.

Introspective, Kaleidoscopic…
As red as it’s yellow
As orange as it’s blue
I see all shades of grey
Morph into hues

An ode to Vanda
Hey there, old friend,
ever the ponderer.
I’ve read your letter;
it is I, your stranger.
I’d say I’m faring
quite fairly well.
And I am, though slowly,
coming out my shell.
It’s still quite chilly
and dark out here.
But dawn is breaking
and spring is near.
Soon I’ll be shedding
these frosty blankets;
and bloom a little
while I get at it.
I’ll cloak my petals
with scarlet dew.
My leaves I’ll paint them
with emerald hues.
I’ll bask in splatters
of golden shavings
and lay in caverns
of frost engravings
I’ll wait for springtime
in blissful tunes
Bathe in warm rays
of summer moons
I hope to see you
before autumn’s over
For winter comes
to mark my slumber

April’s Fool
Was it any fun?
Was it all amusing?
Was it any good
delighting at your cunning?
I thought I found my haven
in this virtual space
But wow, you really got me
right straight in my face
I know I am at fault here,
I know I am to blame
For entrusting my own stupid heart
to those with phony names
But now it’s all collapsing,
I’m back at where I’ve been
An April fool who’s wearing
a gentle human’s skin
Ah, what f*ckery…

Rhapsodize
Night skies slumber in mourning rains
As all stars blunder in cosmic chains
Chanting curses in somber melodies
Dancing – tiptoed – in dismal symphonies
Blades of lightning pierce laden lands
As thunder reaches where nothing can
Wrecking havoc where there is spite
Behold a rhapsody of colors tonight

Ride Home
From cityscapes to grassy lands
I watch the sceneries fade
From concrete jungle to a moonlit ocean
Ah, what a lovely parade
Oh how my restless soul delight
In streams of deep nostalgia
Enchanted by this dazzling sight
-My very own Nirvana
Ah, nothing’s more uplifting than
To journey out alone
And visit all of wonderland
Enjoying a ride home

You, terrifying being…
I’m scared…
of the things I might feel,
of getting addicted to
the glances that I steal,
of wanting to stay
wrapped in your arms
cozied by your warm rays,
of getting hooked
to the sound of your breathing
and your eyes when you look
at me- oh I am naked- bared
in front of you my walls turn jelly
there isn’t a brick you spare
your cold whispers
rekindle this flame inside me
this one mess of a dying ember
and I am scared… of you
and all the things you make me
feel- and all that you do
to me- to my soul in slumber
content with the right regrets
in peace with all surrender
you… are my worst nightmare,
the embodiment of my fears
dressed as my sweetest dream ever
I am scared. you’re terrifying…
hauntingly beautiful

evanescent
/ˌevəˈnes(ə)nt/
| fading |
right across rivers of sullen daylights
basked in the glory of my twilight fate
I drift down deeper to this mundane mind
where I kept my silent demons awake
| out of sight |
where fallen celestials rest their souls
is what my spirit would call a home
where I’d weep beside my rusty halo
shackled in chains of velvet gold
| dwindling |
in oceans of my auburn winter flames
in cycles of fleeting joy and lucid pain
while caught in this mystical, ludicrous game
I lived in subtle and died in plain
| out of memory |
alas! in this cavernous fortress of lies
I’ll slumber under my frozen moons
lulled by symphonies of cold goodbyes
evanescent, hidden under frosty dunes
Do you see it?
Do you see me?
See my feelings ?
…they’re evanescent… I’m…
