Before the flood

.

Great kingdoms will rise from grass

And empires come to pass

Ere the age of man, at last,

Becomes part of this world’s past…

Many wars will shed their blood,

Many pains will try their love,

For until comes the great flood

I only watch from above.

.

Lovesick

.

As you take it away,

As you break it this day,

I vow, never again

Will I let in the pain!

Oh but darling, my heart

You didn’t break apart,

Broken, it could be healed,

But a hammer to wield

You decided, crushing

It into flying dust,

Now my wound is gushing,

And love has lost my trust…

.

Evening contemplation

.

The day’s almost over

And night is on its way,

I lie under cover

Of an old stone archway,

Melancholy has come,

I’m drowning in feeling

Of whom I have become

And whom I want to be,

I can hear them pealing,

Far over the abbey,

The bells in the distance…

Oh how they resonate,

With growing insistence

In my heart, fascinate

Me beyond any thought,

Past, present and future

Seem to have me all caught

In a pleasant rapture

As the sun’s setting down

Over this quiet town.

.

Engraved

.

My heart is silent and cold,

Not a single beat echoing,

No warmth through my veins flowing,

As if made of iron or gold,

With skin of alabaster

And a pedestal for master,

I am a moving sculpture

Ever voiceless and oh so numb,

Circled by vicious vulture

Who see me defenseless and glum;

I cannot feel, cannot smile,

It has been like this for a while,

Though I’ve my reasons to live,

Which you may not all understand,

To keep going, to forgive,

Until, in time, comes my last stand.

.

In my purse

.

In my purse, I have a thousand secrets,

Some are light, others incredibly dark,

And many a person, these things, covets,

Ready, to obtain them, a war to spark,

They have tried, oh they have tried, to stop me,

And take away what is my property,

But none can, not even an army,

Is that not right, my dear sweetie ?

.

Cool guys don’t look at explosions

.

Pedal to the metal,

Tires screech, I start off,

Giving birth to a cloud

Of thick and foul white smoke,

Bullets rain around me,

Shouting echoes loudly.

.

No time for it to settle

I’m gone, breaking the standoff;

I’m quite sure they don’t feel proud:

Outdone by a single bloke,

Entire private army…

Eyes closed, singlehandedly!

.

Now, no time for reckless mettle,

This is not completely over,

For I must still escape unbowed

Or my licence they might revoke…

The sky still remains dark, stormy,

But I let myself smirk proudly.

.

Annie aime les sucettes…

.

A young and fair lady had, once upon a time,

From a lad named Freddy and barely for a dime,

Bought a piece of candy promised to taste like lime,

She sought to feel dandy, committing that small crime,

Alone on the sandy beaches of Anaheim,

Oh she was not ready for it to taste like thyme…

.


A fun little poem. Fun. Yeah.

Sometimes I want to die

.

Sometimes I want to die,

Give up my sanity,

Down in darkness to lie,

For an eternity…

I want to relinquish

What I have been given,

To simply extinguish

That breath come from heaven.

I feel tired of life,

Of what I have become

And the perpetual strife,

Giveth me no outcome.

The reason however,

To this dark, twisted thought,

No matter how clever,

I admit I know not.

My heart’s been feeling glum,

For a number of years

Now, body feeling numb;

No more sadness or tears.

.

Listening, not.

.

You talk, you talk and talk, always, never-ending,

I sit there and listen, at least I’m pretending,

In my heart and my mind, though, secretly hoping

That one day, while still young, up you will be shutting.

I feel interested, I do, I’m just hurting,

Too much information, difficulty coping…

So I just nod my head, from my own mind seeping,

Praying hard for my bed, just want to be sleeping…

.

From all angels

.

No matter the cage or the prison,

There is always a way out,

Whatever the storm of emotion

Inside you, rages about,

Look beyond, towards the horizon,

Find a path or make a route,

For there is always a solution;

Search for light, don’t blink, don’t doubt,

Don’t let them scare you for no reason,

Treat this as a simple bout,

Just let away your apprehension,

Let away frustration, shout!
