The Painful Pedestal

You’re on your own pedestal and I can’t reach out to you
You’re standing tall while others fall behind you too
Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames of your passion while I drown in rain anyhow

I’m the best failure you’ve ever had
You’re the worst success and it’s sad
That you had to depart from the light
You’re like a lifeguard without her might

Without you, I can’t breathe anymore
My weak lungs are enflamed and sore
The sky of rainfall collide from bitter clouds and I’m drowning in my lonesome soul
I’m confident that you’ll get out of darkness and enter the crowds of happy people

My chest is sore from a heart beating evermore —
Open up the corridor of my heart’s ability to adore you as you are
I’m trying my best to seek peaceable hope in store —
What more can you ask for? Another remedy to undo your scar?
Torn into pieces and still, I rise to meet my end once more, once more
Could’ve sworn you had me breathless against my will to the core, to the core, to the core

Trapped within this chamber of hell and I insanely call out to you in vain
You zapped the energy out of me in this cell, then I fell down the drain
No one can tell that I was a monster back then
Neither can they tell I can never be a ten again

Reminding myself of the past mistakes I’ve made
I’m sorry I threw at you so much hatred-bitter shade
Envy weighed me down till it made me feel incomplete
Now, I’m barely trying to get back on my weary feet

You held so much abominable regret and I got you so upset
I apologize for the times we accidentally or purposely met
I’ll take responsibility for my heartless actions by satisfying positivity to the max
Have mercy on me, for this pain is uncontrollable…it’s so difficult for me to relax

Premium Member Candles I Lighted For You

I heard the birds sing, felt when the beguiled breeze blew
only for you, as the sunburst sky flushed your face in hue.
How adorable you became to me you had no clue,
if only you knew.

After the gloomy night in your gorgeous garden I found me, 
how brightly I’d sparkled like the pristine pearl of ecstasy,
perched on the petal of your purple rose a drop of dew, 
if only you knew.

From the trove of eternity I got the treasure of time we shared,
like the surreal sunburst sky my yearning in rave reverie flared.
How keen I was to see the day my dream would come true,
if only you knew.

In blue firmament of your fathomless eyes my fervor had flown
to the beautiful nest I’d built to become abode of our own.
How securely I sheltered my memory as the storm blew,
if only you knew.

The sonorous sound of your voice sailed in the silence of longing,
the melody mesmerized the void mind of my lonesome being.
How complete I became when you made me a person new, 
if only you knew.

When drifting on the meandering trail of melting mirage you left,
like the dry sands of caved-in dune I felt deserted and bereft.
How sadly my unsaid words, ‘you’re mine’, I heard rue,
if only you knew.

When your enthralling essence remained with me as a shadow,
dissolved in the darkness of the abyss of my heart hollow,
how many candles my love had lighted there for you,
if only you knew.

Premium Member I imagine




My aspiring mind ascends in lonesome emptiness, 
floats on the whispering wisps of crimson clouds, 
makes a mesmerising painting of the fantasy dawn 
on the unfurled blank canvas of dormant desire.

The halcyon edge of the sunburst spectral horizon,
embroidered by the tantalizing tinge of celestial hue,
glistens the swaying grass of your verdant meadow, 
where I imagine I’m the radiant diamonds of dew.

I soar entranced in the seamless sky of reverie,  	
drift to the heavenly heights of infinite freedom.
Suffused with the sensation of timeless delight,
I imagine I can fly to the end of your seraphic space.

In the infinite nothingness of the boundless void,
the charismatic canvas of cobalt gets rolled out,
where in your firmament of bracing fascination
I imagine I’m a beguiled bird flying free spellbound.

The unbroken bank of the cascading crystal stream,
cradles the gorgeous terrace reclined resplendent,
where in your alluring garden of roses abloom,
I imagine I’m a butterfly flittering in your fragrance.

Under the star-crowned amorous sky of splendor
you come through the miasma of indigo moonbeam.
An engrossed poet I write then a fervent lyric for you,
as the muse is enthused by the sparks of imagination.

Love Is Lost

Love is found
Love is lost
Interrupted by a lonely vibrant sound
Heaven in my home inbound
Songbirds gone in the mist
Left only with a kiss
The opportunity missed
The colors form into black and white
But Jesus tells me i'm alright
The lonesome twist that turned
Christ is my only escape
Pasted pain with hurt and denial
But I think ill stay a while
Maybe this poem will reach you
A cold heart in this dark place
The engraved can never be erased
Jesus help me win this race
I need you in my heart just in case
She's gone in the wind
To a place no one can defend
It feels like the beginning of the end
The love was lended
We were tempted
Feels like I was rented
Bent up by forbidden fruit
The road to nowhere
21 inches from relapse
The sweet songbird tortures me
Singing the song of lust
Cant turn down that road again
Its time to end the beginning
Rising tides of selfish doubt
Bottles of messages cast to sea
How much better can I be?
Wheres my perfect picture?
Wheres my elixir?
Its all coming in due time
Jesus tell me i'm fine.

Premium Member In Memoriam of Relationship

I felt lonesome in the absence of a confidant.
The scarcity of a shoulder to adjoin was violent.
I've lastly grasped what I've been scrutinizing.
The day revealed the supporter was astonishing.

I beheld a companion in the uniqueness of you.
My sights are sounded with ingenuities and softness.
I clasped a stone and hurled it as firm as I used to.
This roused me to ponder locating a mate all across. 

But promptly, the alliance award can evolve.
You will utterly represent my esteemed aspiration.
You will inevitably dwell on God's gift from above.
I suppose this is the best time for the occasion.

Everything displays celestial splendor.
To wholly cease one year and dive in another. 
We may be near the ending of this poem.
An addition will be present in the narrow term.

Sounds of the Night

I heard a long whistle blow
as it rippled across the pristine
valley, full of glistening snow.
I felt the trees brush off the 
wind as that long, lonesome,
unlit train roared until it's end.

I shuttered deeply from the
bitter cold, for I sensed the
chill of the night's story had
yet to unfold.
Gathering my thoughts I looked
toward the sky and seen so many
stars twinkling undisturbed by
the sounds of the night.

Long glowing walkways through
the dark's horizon, slowly faded 
out of sight.
A nibble at my nose a true reminder
of Winter's frozen bite.
Quite now and stillness is all that is
left, since that lonesome whistle 
headed west.

Scarlet Roses of August

I feel no sympathy
for someone who doesn't call
when I send her roses;
I tried to apologize for all
the unkindness
and the anger that made me run
from her and wind up alone;   
how I wanted to take
those words back...
even these tears 
won't prove my sincerity!  

Scarlet roses of August...
the bright color of the sunset
on a summer's evening,
today is another lonesome beginning
for me who finds your unforgiveness so vain...
made stronger by my useless pain!

I didn't have wings...I learned to fly, 
and it took  more than good faith
to believe in you step by step;
now all ends with this sad goodbye!

Scarlet roses of August...
staring at me and my vanity;
it could have turned out differently,
if I only had treated her more kindly!

Premium Member Someone Who Used To Be You

When splendor of love spun dreams ecstatic
Musings of fantasy waltzed joyous themes
On blossoms of meadows in prime of spring
And giggles of streams donning green prairies

I felt your presence my eager beats crooned
When halo of the moon ravished our mood
As melodic rhythms inflamed doting hearts
And voice of hot passion blazed our romance

You were sweet life that I cheerfully claimed
And I was to you what your triumph meant
But feelings euphoric soon lost their edge
When in winds of change vows of youth drifted

I saw you go there where lonesome souls cry
Where emotions despised strife of pale sighs
When day’s silence often filled awkward void
And haze of nights we spent gazing gray skies

When dawns soon arose enveloped in shroud
Love too got masked, cloaked in stygian clouds
And allure, once acclaimed, began to fade
As contempt of sameness dwindled our flames

As you leave this dream, dear, you know it too
No longer the birds choose to croon your tune
They are searching someone they loved and knew
The one they once wooed, who used to be you

Message

No clue I had-what to do;
That cold and lonesome night,
Wrote him one small message;
To try and make things right.

Then I got upset;
really don’t know why,
Sent another message
In hope to simplify.

Panic came across me;
Needed to explain,
That I am not so desperate;
I’m really not a pain.

Mailed heaps of messages and
Texted so he’d sight,
Though every time I finished-
Remembered more to write.

Aware I sent so many
It was a real outpour ,
Couldn’t really help it;
Writing more and more.

Embarrassed that I did it;
Hundreds are to mention,
Felt I had to have him and
All of his attention.

Aware it was too much and
Now he isn’t talking,
Understand anxiety
Sick and was not stalking.

Tonight the air is freezing...
Feeling quite alone,
If I sent him one more message
Will a message bring him home?

My feet are numb and
I feel glum, I feel that I could die
If I send him one more message 
Do you think he would reply?

I understand that he is free
And he is not my own
Though will he answer just once more
If I called him on the phone?

Feel so sick I can’t explain,
My stomach -a huge knot.
Should I give a big wide birth
Or just another shot?

I understand that I’m not well
Behaviours’ been excessive
Though now I’ve gone above, beyond
What’s another message?

Could send a happy one
Compliments and such
Tell him that I’ve missed him and
I love him very much.

Would maybe make him smile and
Not like me-depressive,
What harm could it ever do
To send a little message?

I

The bell the Town Courier want to toll
To salute the day of reckoning in Getham City
Is now on the neck of the scary-witty cat her paws like dragon
Saints, Publicans looking on at each other nose
Of whose can prove his vigour to bell the cats?
Lo! Saw earth sweeping away into the abyss
Yes! Her treasures sunken into the ravine
Restlessness wind voicing its bewails
Cursing and mumuring for the evils enacted upon the City

II

The Armageddon Spirit has resurged once again to the City of pleasure
Seen I melted bodies, brokenness on the fields of refinement
Lo! Saw townsfolks running helter shelter for cover
Sought in vain for any place of rest
The phantoms re-awakening in its limberness
Saw I its thunderbolts, hiding away from fierceness of death
The head corn blown away its tarp, causing
Further dent to the fragile macrocosm of the sorry City

III

The people’s spoils being devoured by mass human-like robot caterpillars
In a twinkle of an eye, falls of death have reaped them 
Saw I kings, Princes and noble men fell on their knees
Shrouded from calamities that befell them all
Their once happy life becomes bland within a whisker!
The happy faces have lost all mojos and blooms
Unable to elucidiate their misfortune that I my seen
That raging storms from the Eastern coast reaching the City
Epicenter escapade the knowledgeable, is sadistic viewing can’t I fathom

IV
Pale-looking creeping creatures with craggy-winged bodies
Swarmed towards the water shore for survival
Pugnacious in the lonely deep sea
Its rumbling re-awakes the deadly sea animals
Ready to pounced on wander souls, taken away
Their weary souls, waited too long for divination to placate
But lost in the labyrinth of the lonely deeply sea, the water gods
Unknown livid for the peril caused her during their rotten lives

V
So yet and black it’s the sky
Gazed I deeply into the black sky and yet-
The picture seen gave me deepened sorrow
Lonesome and silenced in the midst of
These rotten and malicious bones
Tears flows from the redden eyes
Saw I the once lively, attractive not fortnight ago
Has become a bestialized and plangent City
With fading strength and bleeding heart
Waiting patiently for the breath of life.
