Manqué Poems | Examples


Servants of Solitude

In disingenuous defenseless dreams of the damned have wept
They awaken within sempiternal solitudes that they have slept
They're above all asseveration of tenacious tears they accept
For inside patricentric passage of time becomes illogically inept

The axiomatic assembly of manqué multitudes in pacifistic plight
Their damnation dorms of diversity desecrated upon a fatal finite
Humankind’s humility a harbinger of ritualistic recrudescent rite
And sorrowful sins syndicate with vigorous velocity and appetite

Their altruistic ambient soul tangled torn beyond comprehension
Desolate deprived within a deceitful delight of a demons detention
Isolated and audaciously abandoned onto the grasp of evil intention
May love levitate their tragic turmoil and align them with ascension.

Blacked Heart

Blacked Heart


Within the blackness blissed lies the love that has been missed
For within the miasma mist a darkish deprived heart does resist
Of the silenced sounds heard escapes a lonely wounded word
Of the slumbered souls spurred amidst the dormant eyes blurred

Amongst the burials buried blind my lamenting love is left behind
In a clustered cave confined echoes of a manqué mind maligned
For in a cathedral chastised chant my thoughts in a ravaging rant
In a primal punitive pant bled emotions erected in a penile implant

Where my apocalyptic asylum stands ruling tyrant of sin commands
And demons dream of wastelands I parochially pray with idle hands
My heart a deeper dark by the hour is left in a storm a fragile flower
Upon this shattering shower ardently abandoned with a dying dour.

Stream

Gaze upon the stream
The current of a juggernaut should avoid
For its treacherous waters bring danger to the weary traveler
destined to embark into the void
 
Submerged I shall become
Gasping for air, clawing the bank
torrent’s fiery acceleration does smother
Hope curls into the the air, departing the survivor manqué
 
Perpetual motion, perpetual misery
Sickening and revolting it is when viewed unclad
There is no true solace but death
Yet we allow the voice to whisper, we must be mad,  
 
But melt it away into the stream
Faceless nameless, strip away my identity
With time all meaning shall sublime
Surrender to the flow of astounding absurdity 
 
 The infinitesimal droplet is member of the infinite drink
Closer and closer approaches the lustrous moonbeam 
I scream for an absent savior
For I drown in the stream

Turning Pages

In the blink of an eye, the devil and I, surrender or die
Out on a limb, lose it or win, love it or sin
My love is drowning, forever frowning, no more clowning
Tears that bring, a shattered spring, a runaway ring
The trap was set, on the night we met, I do regret
Cold as ice, no more spice, tighten the vice
Fire and haze, I’m still in a haze, lost in a maze
Life or death, morphine or meth, take your last breath
Fallen angels, turning pages, crushing creations
Left behind, with a manqué mind, one of a kind.

Of Saints and Sinners

Of Saints And Sinners

Within the sacrificial selfless silence
The seditious spirit stands in defiance
With salient scars of eternal echoes
Amongst the meditating melodious meadows

Sinister sins compound in complexity
Where demon deeds are devoured devilishly
Macabre masters of the medieval mind
Disengaged discipline of the consciously confined

The saint and sinner must coherently co-exist
One restrains of thoughts the other can not resist
Erosive entombment in the somatic solitudes
As both struggle within the manqué multitudes.
