Analiza, How Our Love End Up This Way

I still like you
  for the first time
   serious and true.

Your charm is
   the weapon you still
   use with me.

Time and time again
  the memories we have
  still linger in my mind.

Though fate make joke with us
  and we landed in others arm
  my love see you in a distance. 

I was young and naive
  that I lost you in an easy gift
  to a lad that has good intention. 

That's who I am, a looking glass self
  I put myself in the shoes of others
  sacrificing my own happiness for others. 

Now, you realized that I was right 
  in my true feeling, giving chances
  for other's benefit for good intentions. 

You me judge that I am stupid
  to give way for other to change for good
   leaving me indepensable and weak. 

I have no choice but to give up
  this love I have so big and understandable 
  believing true love will come back to me. 

That was the case in the end to find me
   in four corners to know the truth
   to rectify that love for me once more. 

But fate really doesn't sided with us 
   we didn't cross our path and leave no mark
   of whereabouts, no connection, no nothing. 

Until we're on our fifthies
   that fate able to find us through some bridges
   connecting our path once again. 

But its too late, we have our own life now
   our own family, our new friends and new fans
   we ride on different boat going the sea of life. 

The love we have no closure before end up
   heartbreaking but settled, for in the face of all
   adversity we once know what true love is.


Premium Member Pastels of Peace

I dream 
in the golden glow
of a sakura orchid
nestled between blooming browns~
as saffron streaks of sunsets
  spill syllables of l o v e and trust,
scented with sugared crystals,
emitting musical verses
to calm the inner child~
healing in silence
dusted with pastels of p e a c e.

But when the fragrance of
summer wanes,
leaving a heavy horizon
glistening with grieving galaxies,
remember, I am an aching poem
kissed by the garnet green,
refusing to follow
melted moonbeams,
merged with moving monsoons,
and yesterday’s fickle footprints,
that remain,
soaked in rain and tears,
like pixelated promises to the
cracked cosmos,
lost within sand petals,
as nightingales croon
of strife and life,
of cold summers and fleeting colors.

So tonight, 
I’ll carve my own b l i s s
from the haze of violet gratitude~
engrossed in trembling ink,
allowing another month
to fade into the ether,
as memories blossom
in blue-black,
staining champagne chalices
with smoke and salt
while somewhere
between fireworks filling up
twilight skies,
rippling with mystic topaz
kissing
the fluorescent stars
sparking across
midnight shorelines,
I found sequins of h o p e 
amidst the unattained closure
to the rising of
an inescapable end.
This is the voice of a thistle
reluctant 
to
compromise and comprehend
the sound of ticking thunder,
for I am the eucalyptus elixir
   to an alchemist’s waterfall,
weaving odes to the eclipsed time
that sleeps in the cusp
   of liquified lilacs
crawling through 
serpentine circles…
as I have found a rhyme to
glamorize every forsaken line,
letting go of bleached pages
that have no 
spirit of resilience,
and chapters with 
frosted names
that have 
no 
space for s o l a c e . . .

Calyx Eclipse

With indecision rode abreast
              Intended path becomes digressed

             Inhaled fragrance fresh placement

            Dangled now upon my doorstep 
            Taking the chance, you endorsed it
            Stainless steel crumpled, heart on tap
            Safety reigned, your care eclipsed that

            Ready to bloom in love splendid 
            Softness of Libby now rendered 
            Able to lay guard down, submit

Premium Member Whole In the Ground

He wrapped his remains into his souls’ coffin at the cemetery

An oracle told him to be aware of gravediggers at the boneyard

Under cover of a midnight moon he sought solace and closure

Removed the wooden cross of too many forks from his greatcoat

Stared half naked and shivered into shadows of marble shrines

Recalled the good omen bestowed by the witch dressed in praise

	
                Turned out to be a good day after all


He reminisced at promises of fortune and privileged birth sign

Money power and acclaim had never been far from his cradle

As one of society’s beacons he had feathered fortuitous gifts

Enhanced his standing in false virtue and belligerent strides

Never shied away from proffering prosperity in greedy pursuit

And yet approached necropolis and the grim reaper’s calling


          Bad premises and yet change for conclusion


As he slowly pondered on benevolence and benediction he tripped

Near a wide open vault and tumbled into the tomb of reckoning

Ripped a scrumptious veil of superior misconceptions into tatters

Bled repentance and remorse onto the bottomless pit of lost hope

He was mortal after all and not oblivious to what riddled his mind

Vowed to be given one ultimate chance before he would demise

       
          A special day just in time for healing

Premium Member Orphans

We’ve left behind orphans, you and I, 
a gaggle of memories like street urchins
left to starve and die in the
city of self-imposed amnesia.     

We’ve staged our own deaths,
reciting happy obituaries of our former selves,
birth announcements of our new incarnations,
everyone duly notified of fissure and closure.   

So that those troublesome orphans,
believing us dead, 
homeless, unattended,  
are left forever behind;
memories unremembered,
past disowned by present. 

But they know where we are, 
and they come,
knock on the doors behind which 
we’re safely ensconced in new lives.

We let them knock, 
cringing and waiting 
with furtive glances 
from behind closed curtains 
until they finally recede into the night. 

They are unconcerned, these little orphans.

The camouflage of our reinvented selves 
don’t hide us.  

They will be back.

Obstructions

On Sept. 16, more than 150 people attended the city council meeting the downtown closure.
Ventura is one of only a handful of cities in the state with a car-free downtown.
Some downtown property owners oppose the closure and have sued the city to stop it. The lawsuit is in appeal.
The cars aren't coming back to Main Street in downtown Ventura.

The Ventura City Council voted on Sept. 16 to keep five blocks of Main Street and one block of California Street closed to vehicles, as they have been since 2020. The vote was greeted with applause and came after two hours of public testimony in which 74 city residents and business owners spoke in favor of the closure, and only three spoke against it. More than 150 people attended the meeting, nearly all of them in support of the street closure.


No economic vote deprives liberty or law

Law is not an absence of motion nor indifference.

A minority will be forced to conform in time.

You people are not a military 
The military has parameters for city and street, road 
Functions that the people will not alter

Remains of Eternity (Scenes From Above)

I saw you at the front of the steps 
I simply smiled and you said 
"There's nothing left" 
You seemed astonished 
But then again I promised
Open your eyes and take note 
Beneath the ash, soot, and moat
See for yourself the remains of an eternity
Moments before death
Moments before new life
There was something that out-weighed a single breath 
Family and hugs 
Bug stains on a pair of brand new Lugs 
I leave this place with no regrets 
Fulfill prophecies 
And up the any on unprofitable bets
For now the plan is set 
You and I are pieces of eternity 
With every head bowed 
And every eye closed 
We see the tragedies we've allowed 
Though I'll reach heaven 
I'll remain a part of Hell 
Let the furnace dry up any tears in my trail 
I was once here, Once there
At some point I was everywhere
Reality tears from the eyes of eternity 
Once a coffee hut relaxed upon a corner 
Sympathy of a day to day mourner
Warm blue berry pie, just a slice
Seems I’ve been cursed an outcast in this life
Shadows taunt my guilt in these dark moments
The trauma that left Loved ones speechless 
Even when they were so desperate to comment 
A Smile that stained the face of a once close friend
Until my closure, until my ill fated end
The sounding of a missionaries gun
Out in the open, no where to run
Could it have been the suffering in my innocence?
A figure some what indecent 
Take me, but through the fire, through the rain
These words will remain through eternity

Premium Member Would You Still Love Me?

Tonight my ink is mute
and this quill rests in silence.
I’m searching for the perfumed poem
you’ve placed in my aching soul,
when I found a home 
within your aesthetic embrace,
whilst, the honeyed tip of your silvery voice
sketched a sea of flower-patterned stars,
across somber skies, whispering sweet carols 
to the evening sun that wanes and slumbers 
within crestfallen dahlias.

Was I ever a poet before I saw initials 
of your celestial name scribbled in violet vines 
across the pearl face of the blue moon?

I never knew words could weigh heavier 
than dancing diamonds 
glazed in gold,
Until I heard your riveting rhymes 
echo rose tinted tunes of lilac feathered longing.

I love you for the way you thaw 
frost kissed petals into streaks of 
pomegranate prose-
flowing in crystalline compassion.

I love you for the way you’ve painted faceless ghosts 
of my bitter cold past with acrylic glitter,
showing me that every thunder-struck meadow
can grow greener blades of faith. 

I love you for soothing lucid nightmares crawling within darkness to suffocate my bleeding ink.
How you’ve held my onyx heart
while I struggled to weave silken threads 
from emerald tears of angst. 


But how can I harmonize the gravity of your spoken serenades
that linger across this cosmic canvas?
Must I steal every jewel from its rightful sphere, 
just so that you can see vibrant colors of vehement verses, 
reflecting through all that which flickers?
Would you feel me if these metaphors no longer flow in coherence? 
Would you be the Emperor
to my throne of darkness
even if I am just an Empress without a crown?

What if I were nothing but a blurred black dot across a constellation of chaos?
Would you still love me If I wasn’t a poet? 
Maybe these questions will forever
remain as endless equations 
within fractions of no closure.

So tomorrow, if there’s no wind
that can carry these unsent letters to you,
remember my heart is yours till we meet
our unwritten tales, 
before the last twinkling twilight fades into sheer nothingness.

And I will still love you even if 
butterflies would betray the fragrance 
of our undying romance.

digital detachment

ping.
transitory hysteria—
just a check in
automated, fabricated,
robotic inhuman software
conscripted to, destitute
of mortal empathy.

nevermore your communication
yet condemned to hope.
reticence prolonged anew—
boundless, asystolic display,
pulseless heart
undesired, inconspicuous.

isochronous laxness stemmed
inconcurrent pure affection.
adoration inequitable, 
hanging time itself
costing soul and morals
for your gratification.

ping.
amperages of delirium,
spasm of pleasure, cardiovert
mechanical thumping afresh
owing to invariable closure.
retina regulated to contact—
titillations unparalleled
abstract surpassing acumen.

ingenious mayday, wholly
for schooled minds,
lapses to neglect by all.
ablution, deterring loathing
of own stupidity, yet
detrimenting tranquil sanity.
personal beguilement, reiteratively,
“I love you,” an utterance
seldom transcribed from them,
devoid of inevitability.

edge pressed to tissue, 
unseamed cephalic vessel
surges sanguine fluid
cruelly ironic, amassing atop
the very accessory
of inconversable love. 
anaemically ascertaining 
for anguishes and sorrows,
saline flaps flutter in irrevocability.
cadaverous repose,
unfettered.
