As hard as I might, I cannot seem to find

The words I need, the words to write

The ones I need to turn thoughts to lines

To describe what I feel in this heart of mine

 

What words to use when describing you

Charming, beautiful, lovely and true

I truly lack adjectives that I can use to tell

How we risked and won, the troubles we dispel

 

How can I describe the indescribable you

When the stars in the sky pales before you

When the moon and the sun is comparatively small

To the light that you give me, you outshine all

 

As I struggle to find, the words to write

About the one that set my world alight

Whose hands hold my heart's key

For now, this ends part three.

[Lower life]

I love everything

being in existence unknown to all around me.

makes me admire the love of a flower

a kind word.

a sigh of defeat

a scream of victory

 

a moment of loss

the eternal struggle of a single gain

all for something that is free to give

 

love

I
Don't need words
To understand
Don't need words
To comprehend
Don't need a translation
To figure out
The words that comes
Not from your lips
But from your heart.
I
As I look at the one
That makes me fall further
Every single day
Into her arms
Makes my heart beat faster
And my mind go blank
I thank the stars above
That one of them
Came down from heaven
And fell into my arms.
I
Sometimes wonder
If I am worthy to be
Beside you at all
To be your partner
In this waltz
Hand in hand
Hearts together
And a touch that says
Always and forever
You
Who reached out
From the darkness
And helped me get up
Who makes me smile
Without any doubt
I am yours
And you are mine.

[「黑風影」]

What
exposes deceitful concealment
invites the contrast
to break whats bounded
to seek out the dim lights in uncertainty

When
does meaningless meaning
become decors to our actions
to be driven immobile
to be eventually crushed

Where
does our intents diverge
from the flow of conciousness
to falsify the internal
to solidify the external truth

Why
head forth in belief
look back in regret
to sink in warmth of burning ashes
to be surrounded in vast emptiness
 
Who
is shaped by images
recieved from illusive sources
to make this fear within fade
to remember this joy within grow

Three short words
that tells a lot
more than they should
more than I thought
Three short words
that came from your lips
makes my mind go blank
and my heartbeats skip
As I look at you
as I hear your voice
I breakout a smile
and sing and rejoice
I can't help but stop
and hold my breathing
As you pinch my cheeks
and say I'm not dreaming
I try to reply
but I missed my cue
So instead I'll say
I, you, too.

Living dying

I`m nothing more then an empty husk. 

fill with nothing, but the void

 

I live for your expectations

I never live for my expectations

because I know none the wiser

 

You fill me with things I should do

you fill me with things you want me to do

you fill me with things I must do

 

you govern my life till the end

I live for you

I never live for me

 

and now your dead

6 feet under

 

Am I free?

or

Am I just a robot with no new commands

Just an empty husk

waiting to rust.

[Ravenous Raven]

The Clock-maker's Obsession:

Spoiler

Rust and yearning

clock work turning

I long to hear your beat again

 

Dead and dying

Oh lord, I'm trying

All your ailments I attend

 

Red and gold

growing old

I'm trying to make you beat again

 

I'll take a chance

to make you dance

I will make your life begin

 

Please, my dear

let me hear

the sound of your beat again

 

It's use less now,

I'm too worn out,

I've given up, it seems, old friend

 

you're on a shelf

I'm rusting, myself

I'll never hear you beat again...

Tell me what you think.

[Supreme_Lurker_Primo]

My Respond( I figure this a best way to respond to a poem with another poem) 

 

The way I read your poem

I picture things from so far away

a young child tinkering her hearts away

In a little clock shop of olden age.

 

Trying to recover that childhood memories

back at a time, of old day where her grandparents' dolls used to sings

sing songs that invoke the nostalgia in one self

 

she tinkers away

she tinkers away

time pass

age pass

 

But that song will be be sung again

 

now her body grows old

unable to move

unable to function

forever unable to hear that beat again

[osakaki]

It's all new
The shiny membrane attaches itself upon arrival
Cheers and beers for that great friend: the unknown
Happy hands probe and scratch
Looking for salvation, enjoyment, understanding
The thin layer frays and rubs, the cracks that I know are coming but never want to see
The hands grope harder, digging themselves to their goal
Unknowing, jejune until bare flesh is breached

And there it is

The hands retreat, searching out the next project
Nothing is new

[Ravenous Raven]

The Lion Tamer:

Spoiler

Silver whiskers

shaking paws

ferocious gasps

and worn out maws

 

Tender strokes

a calming caress

unable to voice

your own distress

 

So many tears

Your head on my knee

I can never express

what you mean to me

 

You were once so wild

a beast untamed

now a docile child

licking the hand that strokes your mane

 

A violent cough

than a rattle of death

no soul remains

just a shell is left

 

I'm weeping now, unashamed

I kiss your nose 

and say your name

but it will never be the same

 

they take your body,

to burn, I guess

I'm too angry to say goodbye

if this is some God's test

my only question is "fucking why?"

 

 

Not in a very cheery mood, it seems...

It's been a while, Impromptu.

 

The Lost Letter

The letter is lost and I can only sigh in vain
My feelings, my thoughts and all it contained
Now cannot be read by one who occupies my thoughts
from night and day, whose love I dearly sought

The letter is lost and I cannot remember all the words
For I have written my ambitions, my weaknesses, my hurts
The feelings he evokes in me when I think of him
I only can remember the feeling of reality becoming a dream

The letter is lost but my heart and soul are true
This will not despair me so for it was a risk I knew
I shall write again and again as many times it will take
For him a thousand letters and more I will make

[「黑風影」]

The falling soft orange glow paints the walls of white.

Slowly filling,

basking in the last rays of the day.

Mixing and spreading,

while shades of grey and brown retreats into corners of my mind.

I breathe in air of golden wonders.

I sit before the glory of light remaining.

I watch the revolving world disperse into the layered atmosphere as its blessing.

I live in the moment of twilight where everything begins when everything ends.
I am here.

    to me
    you are the sun
    that brightens up my world
    you make me see things
    vividly
    there's no darkness
    only colors surround me
    but you also
    scorch me
    with your very existence

[Nepenthe]

I do know what a

haiku is--five, seven, five.

Doesn't have to rhyme.

[osakaki]

bits of smile loosen and tumble

'midst the fields of sharpened sticks and drooping eyes

cracked like porcelain in a child's hands

'midst the seas of cloth and dyes

 

pointed words cause the voice to crack

'midst the static-filled radio silence

bleed the cheapest wine you own

'midst the pillowed, muffled violence

Toss and turn, I try to sleep

I sweat about what I can't forget

My mind is in the dark, the deep

Lost in an ocean of half-finished dreams

And ​I'm at the very bottom

Anchored to my worries and fears

Wishing I could breath

Submerged in unforgotten tears

I yell for help

but no one hears

 

I'm drowning

Inside myself

 

I think we all have these nights. ^ ^;

Perky picky Penny plying plastic pleasure
Tiny thirsty Timmy tries to trap the treasure
After an apologetic atmosphere
Bars, beds, bottled beer
Many muddy mumbles make mercies mostly measured

I title this piece: Some dude trying to break up with his yandere girlfriend. I think it has a nice ring to it.

Spoiler

I ask for

Nothing but fifteen

Words you say

To be taken

And thrown away

 

I ask for

You to take

back this heart

Which I never 

meant to break

 

I ask for

us to just

be friends but

you give harsh 

words and misery

 

I ask for

My mind to

just plain forget

the words that

went something like

 

"I want your

heart to be

mine forever, say 

yes or we'll

die to together."

Let see if I do this right without setting someone off.

 

An old queen once ask me

Which is easier?

"To be hated by all?" or

"To be loved by all?"

 

I calmly respond

If I am to lie in order to be love by all,

then I will rather be honest and to be hated by all

 

I have no need to cover my word in sugar

or adorn them in the finest fashion.

 

I would absorb all the hate for my bluntness then lie

That is my sin, my greatest sin, but some may appreciate my truth

and those are one fit for to be my comrade for life and till death.

 

No wonder how much scorn I receive, I will follow my path true.

So my Queen  I answer your question with blazing resoltuion

It much easier to be hated by all then to be loved by all.

[Ravenous Raven]

Short and bitter sweet:

Your resilience

and then 

 

dead silence

 

except a pen

falling to the ground.

 

I really wish

you were still around.
