Heaven Is Raining Down On Me (It Burns, Gods, It Burns)
Cradled in the arms of my mother,
I sway softly to the beat of the sea.
Enjoying the peaceful scenery.
As I lay flat on my back,
wood groaning under the weight of me,
With my eyes directed
to that heavenly scene above me.
Smile lines dancing on my plump cheeks.
When suddenly the song of the sea
turns into a nausea inducing melody.
The gentle hands that used to ...

Almost There (Where?)
Is it the light
At the end
Of the road
That I perceive
Or is it simply
Heaven's ethereal glow
That shines upon me?
An end it is,
No matter what form,
A means to end,
So I go on.

Enough
If only I could go back in time
To rectify all my mistakes.
All that I shouldn’t have said,
Yet still felt the need to say.
Why did I even feel that need?
I, too, was just a child, right?
Be the example,
Show them they are wrong.
Show them we are no beasts.
Show them we can be equal.
Act mature,
Be mature.
Show them they are wrong.
So many rules and rest...

Anger's Embrace
Anger curls its tendrils around me,
it envelopes me whole,
strokes me tenderly.
It forms an impenetrable wall,
a shield of sorts,
to keeps me safe and sound.
It takes all those blows
and hits for me,
protects me from my foes.
Rage filled screams,
cover the sound of falling tears.
Sadness sits beside me,
gently wipes my sea.
Anger extinguishes my fear,

Hiraeth
I do not think
There is such
a thing as
A place,
A person,
A scent,
A sound
A touch,
A taste,
that I could link
To what the faceless
masses call home.
I do not think,
There is a version of me that exists,
Where home is something I have,
And not something I miss.
The past,
The present,
The future,
All in which
I do not fit.

Nature's Wedding
Let the melodious song
of the numerous creatures
that reside here with us along,
in the lands and the skies
guide our light feet.
Step forward,
and bathe in the light of the sun.
As she blesses our love
and ignites our skins and soul.
In this bittersweet moment,
tinged sour by all that could have been,
should have been ours,
let us surrender our hearts

A Living Corpse
At age three
I dreamed.
Of lands full of sweets.
Of an endless coloured street,
stretched as far as I could see.
I dreamed of my toys,
that entertained me with their noise.
I dreamed of everything and more.
I dreamed.
At age ten,
I heard.
About wondrous lands that decorated the earth.
Of all the plants and birds,
our Mother gave birth to.
I heard abo...

The Devil's Face (Resembles Me?)
The devil has always been,
A faceless entity
To me.
Until now at least.
Now it has become clear.
I can see.
The devil
In front of me.
They are no singular person.
Instead a pair.
Familiar sight.
Lungs devoid of air.
The devils gaze at me.
Recognizable set eyes.
No surprise.
Why is this reality?
First sight of a child.
Encounter...

Bitter Beer
I used to utter your name delicately
like it was poetry.
Just as how perfume lingers on a person,
The sweet smell of cherry blossoms
accompanied your name
whenever it walked out my mouth.
But now all it leaves,
Is a taste so foul.
Your love was like alcohol to me,
It left me feeling euphoric at first,
But after the effect had worn out,
All I was left with w...

My Last Act
I pick up the shards of glass
that are scattered on the ground.
I marvel at them in wonderment,
how beautiful it once was.
Still, it'll serve a good cause.
Such a pity,
won't you applaud?
This is the end of the show,
Don't you hear the crows?
Toss your roses
Or will you wait till my eyes are closed?
Pour the alcohol,
Let the bubbles float to the surface.
Dr...

Sweet Sorrow
I will hurt you,
Just as you will hurt me.
Isn't that beautiful?
To hurt
And be hurt.
To love
And be loved.
Isn't loving someone,
Sentencing yourself to pain?
Then, why pray,
Do all still love?
To hurt and be hurt,
Is to love and be loved.
I long for you to hurt me,
So I don't doubt my love for you.
I long for me to hurt you,
So I don't doubt your lo...

Empty Chairs
Just a second is all it would take for you to leave this table.
It never gets better, seeing the amount of empty chairs grow.
Still, I remain seated at the table, glued to my chair.
Unable to do anything but watch with pain in my heart,
as yet another one leaves me alone here.
But what can I do?
Even an iceberg desperately yearns for warmth,
climbing to the sun, knowing it wi...

Waiting For My Nobody
Tired souls sigh together,
lovers have given up on getting better,
but I will continue to stay with the withered tree until the end of times.
We have exchanged the word 'forever'
and thus I will patiently wait untill we are back together.
I will wait for you, my Nobody,
until my body cannot anymore.
Until my body decays
and my bones slip into Mother's embrace.
Even then...
