Culpable

Written for Ink Empress' 'Unwritten Absence' Poetry Contest. 

C(ulpa)ble

Your unwritten absence unravelled much 
Disrobing piteously your impure intent
Starkly exposing a ravaged soul as such

Cocooned in dark yarns of deceit, I lay spent
In golden gilded cage tarnishing from neglect
Plated with cosmetic veneer for society's consent

Yet, you were oblivious to the storm brewing, most perfect
Bidding the right time to sound its thunderous dissent 
NEGLECT, tacitly accepted afore, HENCEFORTH NEVER GOES UNCHECKED!

Sailing In Fortitude

Will storms abate not 
And tides in my favour turn 
Won't the darkest days 
Serenade nights where 
A starlit symphony sings 
Would a new day dawn 
Shrouding past regrets 
Giving rise to hope and joy 
For this jaded one 
Too weary to croon 
Won't the dove so sweetly coo 
Chasing gloom away 
In rays of citrine 
Making mornings more serene 
Peaceful tidings greet 
Gratefully I sail along

Dear Comrade

Thank you for celebrating the warrior in me
And for being my shield in times of need
Offering those shoulders to nurse in chivalry 
My battle-wearied heart when it doth bleed

Thank you for celebrating my laughter 
And for giving me more reasons to smile
Offering to laugh heartily with me hereafter
My leaden soul could do to soar awhile 

Thank you for being you, imperfections and all
And for making me more perfect with time
Offering to grow together amidst life's curveball
My overthinking mind could saunter in rhyme

Thank you for being part of my journey here
And for taking me on a roadtrip like no other
Offering your hand when I stumble to safely steer
My comrade you do pacify when life's pain I wonder 

Dear comrade, wishing you a big, heartfelt thank you for being my heart mind and soul!

Hotaru's Heartbeat

Fluttering fireflies 
Above the creek baited sly
Hoodwinked in high skies

Genji's ruthless ruse 
Foiling Hotaru's scheme
In summer rains' reprise
Pattering musical notes 
On screen to wilfully tease
Dark nights dashing dream
Fireflies sparking muse

Unveiling the radiant allure
Of Tamakazura's fair silhouette
Smitten Hotaru pens love pure
A waka to win her heart yet 

Hear Hotaru's heartbeat
In relentless petition
Seeking solemn retreat
In love's glorious rendition
