he was like autumn

i guess i was like autumn too
but adapted to blossom

Paroxysm of pain inflicts this pen,
tears cry poetic allusion.
When petal hearts are misunderstood,
life is full of confusion.

Distasteful thoughts set camp in my mind,
an unwelcome intrusion.
Virgin pages innocent in white,
yearn to wear this mind's effusion.

Too many deep unanswered questions,
lead to a false conclusion.
When judgement lacks honest...

Fear Not, My Daggers Are Plunged And Never Thrown

When days are burnt offerings and nights jagged blades
I loose me those restraints, set words into parades.
Not a tender child, I have seen fire-burnt hearts
held a dying loved one, when her kind soul departs.
Yes, in ancient days,...

The  Daggers  
by Stina Lu

I spent  thousands of years
burning my flesh
Casting, hardening, forging ...
The daggers

Put one of them
on the summit of the Olympus
The holy gods feared 
and disappeared 

Pierced one in the long and narrow island 
on the margin of the Pacific...

Knives which cut through 
    the turgid atmosphere
 Arrayed on our shelf 
     like bowling pins in an 
alley
      Long forgotten quarrels
have left their mark
    on the terrain
and on we(ourselves)
...

Though time never stills
And we have little frills,
My feelings will always endure
And though truer,
Are your words
Less daggers more swords,
Don't you think
That if I could I would sink,
Into your eyes
Pretty lies,
Every wink of your lashes
Whips to my back, and ashes
Piling up from the fires
Every time my...

Words are your daggers!
Lacerates this heart
in vicious manner.
It’s hard to forget
like a bad daydream.

Scars aren’t clear.
See me smiling,
Heart is crying
in dark corner.

Turn me down! 
Hate me much!
Say it loud!

Don’t care
still I’ll…

Fly!...

Within Her Eyes

Memories come fleeting again.
The daggers return lashing back.
For a moment I thought I saw you.
Within her eyes, staring, blank face.
What happened to your conscience?
No answer to the question, but is the answer,
To all the pain endured and survived.
The scroll of scars on a...

Eyes Like Darts and Daggers

Her eyes were like darts and daggers,
Those seeing them always staggers;
Picture did draw,
Of face we saw;
Enjoys being women who are naggers.

Greed , negative, stubbornness, vanity, the arrogant
Paranoid , revenge, suspicious, jealousy, the extravagant
Ten words form a cold word,
Human like hidden tongue, come out in disorder
The deep well is dark, the grinders sound, the tea house calls.
The Words are healing the wound thoroughly.

A ray of sunshine...

It never stops raining. With daggers sewn through her heart she cries. Filled with
confusion she cries. "No one can help me until I can help myself. And I can't help
myself." Frozen throughout, exposing broken skin. One week, one more week. She can't take
anymore burning in...

A Thousand Daggers
Hobbes

We progress towards stasis
Each step forward brings a step back
And engage in a standstill
For each battle won another is lost
We love but we question
The questions burn into my mind
As a thousand daggers pierce my heart

Perplexed by the obvious
For every fear I shed one...

Razor sharp tongues unleashed 
Lashing out viciously to openly 
legitimise bigotry 
then suddenly taking offense 
when queried 
releasing long concealed weapons
the deep desire to "remodel Africans"
No intentions of acceptance in sight 
Spitting out venom faster than a viper 
To further the colonisation agenda 
A mouthful...
