+ Snippets From A Lonely Corner: Untitled Poems +
I never thought I could write so many stanzas in such a short time. But I guess the intensity of my sadness paved a way for me to release the tension somehow.
There was an on-going class then but then again, my tears did not want to go to class.
-----------
To think I cried
To think I cared
To think I held onto
Something that wasn't there
That all his time
Had all been lies
Makes me crumble
And brings tears to my eyes
The world just passes
And no one cares
Like a shadow of nothing
And a ghost that was never there
~~~
Fingers so nimble
Reach out to the mask
Shade off my tears
Be part of the past
Ever so strong
Yet ever so weak
Break down the walls
Of a stronghold so meek
Strengthen me once
But weaken me twice
The lost thoughts in me
Claims sight from my eyes
~~~
Locked in a maze I created
Defeated by a monster I conjured
Loved something that I always hated
From an elixir that can not cure
Hidden in a thicket so obvious
Pouring more than what's inside
The pain will sting so continuous
From the tears that can not hide
Ignored by the eyes that care
Released by the hands that touch
Love this unforseen pain
With a beauty twice as much
~~~
Gentle wrath inside of me
Screaming to break free
The scythe of life and kiss of death
Owned by no one else but me
It stings my mind and eats my soul
In a torment never ending
Unheard prayers and dry tears wept
From a life so unforgiving
~~~
Lost in my thoughts
The labyrinth of my mind
Seeking out answers
And silence I couldn't find
A short time of solitude
A long time of pain
An hour's worth of pleasure
And moments of disdain
The irony of life
Is never understood
Songs, riddles and rhymes
And words of a broken fool
~~~
I caught a monster and set it free
I ignored an angel coming to me
I laid myself on a funeral pyre
And cried at the warm-cold fire
Shift the masquerade from face to face
Look at the moon on a noon day
Never again be trapped by enthrallment
By beauty that was never there
~~~
Feathers from an angel fall
Lost in the wonder of it all
Behold the loss of a thing of beauty
And be stinged with a curse for eternity
It took forever to form in me
But only split seconds to break it
A moment it's there, later it's not
A handful of memories they all forgot
~~~
I held on to something
I thought was strong
I looked at something
That wasn't there at all
I treasured you dearly
I never thought of leaving
And in the darkness I stayed
Not knowing you're not there
You were beauty in my eyes
Cloaked in all those lies
For moments you made me believe
And see things that could not be
~~~
Clingning on to something
That I thought was there
Longing for a touch
That I thought had cared
Vision clouded by tears
Full of lies in all these years
Fake smiles drawn on a mask
Muffle questions I want to ask
Cloaked in a quilt of lies I wove
Finding warmth in a blanket of snow
Taking it wholly - blow by blow
To hide the things I should not know
~~~
It was right before me
But I chose not to see
It came to the light
But I closed my eyes
It tugged me to believe it
But I shove it away
It told me I should leave it
But I still chose to stay
And now that it stung me
Who is there to blame?
The eyes that would not see
Or a dream that wanted to stay?
~~~
It greeted me with a smile
I never knew how much it cost
It opened its arms to me
That time when I was lost
I found a cozy home in you
I thought it would last long
But now that I have seen the truth
The pain indeed is strong
My eyes could see but I blind them
I could hear but did not listen
The truth of it was before my eyes
But I chose to cover it in lies
