Lost Souls

Scream if you must
But know it is only the two of us in this emptiness 
And if my words lack trust 
Understand humanity is marked by ignorance.

Am I beautiful? 
Do I seem like I deserve loneliness? 
Like depression would ever find comfort in such celestial beauty? 
Do you question my presence in this ugliness? 

For in your eyes I'm too beautiful 
Like a star for it only belongs in the constellations 
Along with a numerous number of other blue white painted stars
Is it not so?
And yet the same fate has befallen us. 

Darling I am but a facade
For my Visage is as broken as the world 
For my soul is either black nor white
And this heart has holes deeper than any abyss an empty soul can mend. 

You see I have walked where only beasts trod
Where souls are damned and where gods fought
And yet in the destruction of it all 
I still can't find myself
A lost soul lost to eternity and paused time 
And so I found it beautiful and alluring to give in to the darkness right in front of me. 

But you're just like me
The roots as well as the tree
There's no earth willing 
Not a soul so forgiving 
And no God in this oblivion 
Yet we hope in astonishment for miracle healing... 
That our cuts and bruises would seize to exist 
And our desire for death would evaporate and seize to persist. 

But we found each other where souls meet
It can only mean the despair 
Our desire to quell our thirst done its deed.

I Tried

Here you are
Again,
Reading my pain 
Thinking that it's the worst thing you ever read
Thinking I'm just a lost soul who doesn't know 
The name of the demon they fed,
I am here once more,
Bleeding my emotions to the core 
Trying so hard to make you understand my feelings 
I am bleeding out, my eyes are covered
My body is going through suffocation 
I am dying,
Because i want you to understand what i am saying.

Senryu

The house beast, 
Children are afraid,
Of their mother.

Albinism

How can the absence of pigmentation separate people from the same mother
Life bribed the hell out of us, it took your only brother
And now hell we bring to those who deserve it not
And this fight the people who are suppose to be fighters a quiet
All we need is a riot, a silencer to mute this awful song
Pink eyes, Purple eyes, doesn't make one less African 
It doesn't take the humanity that we all bare 
Because the thought of you being black enough, you act as if you don't care
People dying because we think less of them, claiming that life ain`t fair
-And still we ask why God never calls back
It's not because of what we  have but what we lack, 
Humanity lacked by an human, and yet you stand proud
People may never change how they look at you
But you can how you look at you, and maybe you can change how they glare
Regardless of what people spit on you, no venom can penetrate your confidence 
The world will never shut its mouth, be you, be proud, be arrogant
To the world that only sees you as a separate,
You just have to open up your mouth 
Let your tongue roll wild to whatever direction east west north or south 
And be loud and proud as you increase the sound.

The Moon

The night as white as the sea, 
Floating boats, The sea is blue, 
My eyes are covered by the moon.

Haiku X

Devoured to nothingness
The heroism feeds upon my future,
All seizes and decomposers commence.

Through Time, Through Sorrow

Again we fell in love 
Brought to justice by the color of your eyes
caught up in the moment of silence
Driven by enthusiasm I forgot how you left
Enraged and lost to a point of smoke and dust.

Peace

Listen to a heart 
It speaks in silence yet loud
Harmony you'll find.

Haiku C

The inferno rising a phoenix,
The fire that stopped so many hearts,
The sorrow that ended what was left.

Outburst

I

Wrapped in a heart-like sack
Your face makes every bad crack flack,
Yet no one is scared,
I am Frankenstein's creation by the way
I am the cursed prince, cursed to be a forever beast
Yet the outburst of every sentiment is comforting
When ever your aroma sensate I lay unconscious
Mesmerized and memory so lost I stand anew,
I burn violently with emotions so unknown, but so few
The outburst outbursts and everyone around enticed,
Everyone around mesmerized yet glare disappointedly 
All but you for you knew the confusion,
The shy beast glared with hate and blazing eyes
But yours were filled with the aura of romance
And as you picked me up from my shallow outburst
And your voice in my ear aurally appealing, I forgot
how much of a beast I was,
The sweat on my body became a river that you deprived
The day the heart-like sack in conclusion, exploded

II

Down the drain my emotions in shock where I froze
A fusillade that I saw coming, but still I pose
With nothing but a façade hoping protection it'll provide,
Yet my faith did not abide.

Down the hall into the dungeon 
A fluent cause of restraint compensated
The outburst that had me suffocated,
The migraine that had conversated a pigeon. 

Well, the anguish that nearly quenched my nought
And the pride that had me searching for a bought
Yet in the dungeon I haven't stirred
In the presence of such overwhelming feelings 'tis where I fled.

Fluctuant I fade there like a serpent 
Bravery restrained and deprived I vent in the walls of superbia
Where my outburst is nothing but a bursting fear
I hide, I hide, in my mother's womb like an unborn infant.
