Footsteps In the Forest

Footsteps in the Forest. 
Marie, is that you? 
No. 
Neither death does come, 
Nor Marie, do you.

Death of Love

The sand under my feet
burning bright;
the sky, a black hole of Erebus;
not a soul, not a whisper,
a feast of jejune sight!

My eyes, a saga of sadistic affairs, 
my lips, swollen like jellybeans; 
flesh in my limbs red with fire, 
I look and long for deathly scenes! 

Burning twigs light the world, 
while black smoke lovingly embraces-
in hatred;
I stay awake - a moving carcass, 
Love, where are you? et tu dead!

Here a Lonely Night

Here a lonely night

And I can feel your gentle breath
sweet regret, 
as you make an effort to a dream; 

Here a lonely night

And soft sorrow on your cheeks
play their tricks, 
as you fight to make a smile supreme; 

Here a lonely night

As the moon sheds it's hue
just for you, 
and tells you, you aren't alone; 

Here a lonely night

As your tears dry up into sunshine
unlike mine, 
and show you life again; 

Here a lonely night

And lonely it will be always
as gloomy days, 
steal the life flowing in my vein!

After Killing Jasmine

Blood seeps from my Jasmine, 
her white body slowly turns red; 
the tender heart sliced in two, 
her fragrance about to fade! 

I stand before my shallow mirror, 
my hand proud to hold the knife; 
the knife that just split her heart, 
robbing Jasmine of her life! 

My shallow mirror laughs aloud, 
mocking me with fright; 
the poet in me cries in haste, 
'The Light! Put out the Light! '

In darkness do I stand alone, 
my Jasmine before me; 
I beg the moon to hide itself, 
the sight I fear to see!

My white Jasmine with her blood, 
is now a reddish rose; 
a scent of love surrounds me, 
poetry, not prose! 

In death she gives me back a love, 
darkness fills my night; 
In grief my poet, cries out now, 
'The Light! Where's the Light! '

Rose Through the Eyes of a Peeping Tom

White gown on the floor, 
careless and silken; 
as if in a slumber and
caressed by the rain. 

Wet footsteps cross the room
at a lazy stroll; 
not a heed to listen back
to a distant call! 

Drops of water on the window
spoil a reddish stain; 
Lipstick planted on the glass
lipstick in the rain. 

Dreamy eyes fill the sky
evening comes up close; 
lost in sea of unknown thoughts
a woman, known as Rose!

Lamentation

Wine in one hand, 
Memories in the other; 
Life was kind to me. 
But oh, why did you have to come back!

Life- To You

Life,
here is a glass to you! 
Love goes
I can't call her back; 
Love comes
I can't call her inside. 
Life, 
Another glass to you!
