Wormwood and Yellow Carnations

Where my heart used to be

A deep dark chasm now exists

You sucked from me my breath

And stifled the beats of my heart

You swallowed up and muted my voice

And took away the blinking of my eyes

You played with my thoughts

And burned up my memory vaults

You took away the inner “me”

And left a hollow core to grieve and rot

You deflowered my pride

And vanished with the hymen

You were the blood on my sheet; you stained my life

I held on to air when you left and let go

And now there’s nothing to hold on to

Six years and a decade

How do I cope with this pain?

The tear in my soul makes me hold you in disdain

But I have to be strong for my unborn

So I’d burn your memories up at the end of this line!

Frayed Identity

Inner lining unseen

An extra layer for the skin

A filter of deadly rays of light

A cover for our naked parts

Seasons come

Seasons fade

Inner desires

And the yearning for the sensual caresses

Of the cold wind of our cousins across the seas

Coerced and tricked us

Blindly,

We stripped

And ripped off our inner linings

Alas,

The cold winds of our cousins

Remained with our cousins

Our skins are now burnt

And blackened by the searing heat

From those deadly light rays

Time returns with its offspring

And we are still here

Unaware

Of our shredded seams

The Storm Within

She sits in the dark night with her eyes raised

Staring into heaven’s shadow.

She stares ‘til the black sky tenses.

The sky’s blackness morphs to a dark orange-red hue.

The disquiet of the heavens stirs the stagnant air.

Fuming in disgust and protesting to her intense stare,

The air morphs into wind.

Wind bursts out and awakens the earth’s crust;

Dust becomes a painting on all life.

She continues to stare, 

She doesn't blink

The sky squirms

Her eyes are the vents to her fury

Her anger tortures the innocent night’s sky

Her rage yanks out the breath from the wind

As trees fly, the heavens begin to cry

Its tears splattering as blood from a severed artery

Her eyes are stung by heavens tears; she blinks.

As the heavens weep, the cries of the skies louden

Every scream triggering a radiant steak across the skies

The boisterous wind crushes her down

As heaven’s tears cleanses her.

As the raging furnace burning deep within her is doused,

She turns to him and whispers

A Call From Beyond

Tears drench my hardened face

As you are lowered into earths belly

She violently pulls me towards you…

The clouds are a tattered lace

A call from beyond

…I hear your voice beyond the dirt

Memory is a flood inside my brain

Erasing all the sanity within…

The sun emits rays inert

In here, I don’t belong

…Lingering feelings within a lifeless soul

Your love, your care, you loved me whole

A wretched being, but you looked within...

Poisoned darts of rain

A call from beyond
In here, I don’t belong

Let me be as cold as you

To journey with you beyond the gates of life

For in this world I do not belong

In that world, you do not belong

Let me hear your voice call from beyond

Faith and Filth

A touch by a finger

A cure for an ailment

In search of water

Death’s thirst quenched

Powerful wonders, a breath from within

Healing and unbinding, a rate in silver talents

The afflictions of the flock wafts beneath your nose

What holds you back from extending the finger?

Breathe into them; bring them to life!

Old haven for lost souls

A habitat for Heathen priests

An alter for rotten sacrifices

Death in faith

For Boston

Feet thumping

Arms pumping

Heart pacing

They neared the finished line

A foresight of recognition playing in the mind

Sound deafening

Blast crippling

Flesh scattering

They forgot their tired limbs

And fled in search of safety’s arms

Coward hiding

Child dying

Future warring

A terrorist attack mentioned

A feared retaliation won’t see light

THE LETTER I NEVER MAILED

I never forgot the day we established a connection

When you registered me in your HLR

I made a hard hand off with the other BTS girl

And dedicated my transmission to you alone

So please download me unto your hard drive

Let us, in amplitude and frequency, modulate our love

Never should there be cell splitting between us

But rather, we should be under one cell site

Exceedingly hot is my love for you that I want us to splice

My whole mind for you is a cache memory

And you are the only cookie in it

The mention of your name codes me in smiles

Darlington push-pull transistors I will employ in our relationship

So our love can amplify exponentially

You should know that when I’m with you, there’s no pipelining

My heart is circuit switched for you alone

For you, I will do everything to increase my S/I ratio

My love is all yours, no interference

But please, after all these, do not let me be a skew ray

Let me reside in the axis of your heart

Make your acceptance angle mine only

And will make my ray incident on you only

Then you will be my service layer, show me your applications

And I will be your control layer, enjoy my features

I would have continued

But optoelectronics test beckons

I hope you consider and simulate my proposal

And you will see that our love shall be like protons and neutrons in a nucleus
