"Saw you"

 

Saw you across the Threater,

passing by a crowd

it's been so long

Since you flashed across my mind.

 

How have you been?

 

How has life been treating you?

How is your little baby kitten,

that hides behind your door?

Oh it's grown too big to hide anymore.

Are you still happy?

happy that you are far away from me?

have you even thought of me lately?

As I drown myself in misery.

 

I see him beside you

the better person who i cannot be

what a pair you two might have been

him instead of you and me.

 

It's been ages since I sense jeolosy

It leaves in the heart a bitter taste

burn him, being so close to you

and make your cheek flush like i never will

both of you, inside your world

and i stood alone with the rest

nails bitting, raw palm bleeding

again finding myself to detest

 

I am not fine.

 

unknowning to you, i turned away

before you could see expressions on my face.

it's not necessary for farewell

I said goodbyes the day I was left behind.

 

 

 

 

"Why the Dark Mysterious Figure Wander..."

 

Sweet pleasure of pain

when I was with you

longing, when you are gone

but more so when you are here with me.

The greatest distance

that love cannot overcome

was few physical inches between us

"You do not know I loved you,"

The inches told me so.

That is both a blessing and a curse.

 

Your life in a magic Mirror

The wealth of treasure: your soul.

Beauty in your own reflection

but reflecting my wretched soul.

When i saw my tainted face

in the reflection of your eyes

I'd to cover my face and cry.

Your love is the sanctuary

that I dare not intrude.

 

Insanity is imminant,

from the times we've been so close.

Heaven has been robbed from me

So it's to Hell I go.

Behind, I must leave,

Your warm, your sweetness, your smile

"You are not meant for me."

and it pains me that I know.

 

I wished to hold you in my memory

when I've lost everything else

your face, your smell, your taste

your love I must learn to lived without

Wondering how you've been

and if someone will hold you dear

because I'm not longer near.

 

Sweet pain it is, to know that you do love

because i'm not worthy, and you are so above.

and that I've gave and sacrificed

Until my blood freely runs dry

Until I could not give no more,

knowing you are happy is surficed

 

To my fate, I do not weep

thou my purpose is senselessly weak

for she care not of my existances.

All this experience had me taught

that this is only the cruel joke of God

 

In darkness I ponder To Hate,

and hoping to perchance to Wake;

To end this horrid fate

because it is now all too late.

 

Somehow I must stop the bleeding

but now I have nothing except my needing

running away the meomories of her, forever fleeing

 

"To Love, and then be rejected

and then destined to be alone."

 

That is why the Dark Mysterious Figure wanders

 

 

 

 

"Stranger"

 

I've been a stranger since endless days

and i've grown stranger in a lot of ways

Now no matter how strange you might've been

I'll always be stranger to you it seems.

 

The Stranger in this world, is loveless

They hate us, They Hate us

The Strange-ness in your life, is senseless

To flee we must.

 

I've been a stranger in every place

braving the moonlight; hiding in haze.

You know you are strange by every means,

when you're the stranger in your own scene.

 

The strangeness, in our lives

that You miss, that I miss

The stranger, the lies

that will be our demise

 

 

 

"Love Sickness"

 

There is no immuity

to a sickness call Love,

the plague of humanity

That God sent above.

 

Targeting unsuspecting subjects

infecting the helpless victims,

effecting them in the strangest way

showing all signs of the symdrome:

 

Nerves sparks, numbed brain,

the heart beats to a feaver.

undergoing drastic changes

just to find a way to meet her.

 

The moment they locked eyes

they go into a trance.

freezing their preception of time,

morals & reason hold no chance.

 

the patient became dillusional

their mood changes in an instant.

Behaving like there's no tomorrow,

forgoing food and other substances.

 

To dream about the other's fondness

if both have the same chemistry

and would drown in love sickness

forgetting all other misery.

 

Such strange diesase it's called.

to cure, no remedy will do.

The cure is an addictive Drug

What the doc prescripted is Love.

 

 

 

"Regrets"

 

Digging the past with my bare hands

Imprisoned myself in my own Tower

Memories flow from thy hands like sand

re-living a lifetime by the hour.

 

Beauty is she who comes in the name of the lord

from heaven sent the angel of smoothest clay

paradox paradonia, the gift cursing from God

fired to prefection like an open vase.

 

Memories whispered haunting betrayal

of previous pass, and the love that I've failed

Jeolously guarding my broken heart

and holding on, fearing what's left to be lost.

 

and to open my heart I must not.

for the memories of love echo my only hate;

to love her, never! I could not.

because to heal my heart is now too late.

 

But then lies the cruelest Fate

and god humbles us with our own errors

She was another broken heart, but it was too late

she'd fled in sorrows, and I've lost her forever.

 

 

"Star Dream: Strange Poetry"

 

Night Wind,

drifiting on the Solar system

into the depth of other space.

Drifting,

in the tragic kingdom

living your painful fantasy.

letting your soul be unbind

like light from the end of the tunnel

let time unwhine

 

Star Dream,

Dazzing on the milky way

away from the cruel cold sun.

wasting,

the final days away,

dreaming away from reality

empty your thoughts from your mind

and the drug seeping into your marrow

and a second will be a eternity of time.

 

and Fading Light

Dying on the alien horizon

sparks the first of the stars.

Wandering,

in the mist of strange seasons.

existinging for an eternity

finally ending the intoxication

by falling into the blackness hollow

Sorrowfully divine.

 

P.S You have a disease, let me cure it

 

 

 

"First time behind Held"

 

... and then you gave me a hug

and it was bitter sweet

like the warm of a fire

in the hearts of winter

 

but my heart resisted

knowing that I should

for the hormones in my veins

and heart lusting for desire.

 

Friendly feeling, I reminded myself

but somehow I just cannot let go.

closing my eyes, resting on each other,

and letting that moment lasted forever.

 

 

 

"Nobody"

 

Of all the heavy-heartness that was there

Loneliness was the hardest one to bare.

The burdun of facing every tomorrow.

Nobody has ever known my sorrow.

 

I am another soulless in this world.

when around me temptation twrils.

Because they've not where i've been,

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

 

I'm a Loner ever so Naturally Born

but loneliness has my heart to torn.

Love & Innocences, going down to Waste

Nobody faces what I have to face.

 

Failures becomes me, as time goes by

No matter how hard I've really try.

Somewhat I feel I'm going Nowhere

Thus Nobody is the name I bare.

 

 

 

 

 

"The Demon within"

.

..

...

....

"It all started one day...Help me....."

 

 

Refrain 1:

There's a Demon Inside of me.

Why can't it just let me be?

I just long to be free

So get the f*ck out of me!!

 

It Lurks the back of my mind

It whispers to me all the time.

It's not something you can relate

When every moment's driven by hate.

 

As i walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

They all flee from me for the evils I have.

Self Control I seems to have lack

upon the innocent i' drawn to attack.

 

I'm really not insane am I?

as i send all these innocents to die

I think I'm begining to lose control

and that's why the story have to be told.

 

Refrain 1:

There's a Demon Inside of me.

Why can't it just let me be?

I just long to be free

So get the f*ck out of me!!

 

The people needs to be cure.

so I begin with a mass-a-cure.

no more disturbing as it seems

as I hack apart their limb.

 

addicted I am it needs to be stop

but tainted flash needs to be chopped

There seems to be no Salvation

as I sink down throught Sweet Depression

 

Refrain1:

There's a Demon Inside of me.

Why can't it just let me be?

I just long to be free

So get the f*ck out of me!!

 

There's the demon inside of me

So why don't you just let me be

I just long to be free

So please stay away from me.

For I am the Demon In Side of Meeeeeeee!!!!!!

 

(Repeat)

 

 

 

 

 

"Clueless"

 

Alone i feel, inside a crowd

and I don't know why.

Loneliness is only a state of mind.

 

For somewhere, Angels sits on clouds

watching our lives gone by

Surely one of them has to be mine.

 

Sonewhere in life, hides the gold

but where it is no one knows

I just wish to find it before my time.

 

And time is slipping, I cannot hold

watching hepless as fate unfolds

An my life sinks within a bottle of wine.

 

 

 

 

 

"Meaning of Love"

 

Be-seige a quest

You and I

To find love she said

is the greatest test

 

Searching for her

one in a million

when you found her

she's already taken

 

Some wanders lost

drowned in Temptation

"every women is easy"

they become jerks.

 

But we don't read minds

especially yours

we don't understand

what that is for.

 

Love lost, they

had women's sympathy

but love they won't offer

because he's too ugly

 

I am not Perfect

I am just a man

lonely I do feel

but weak I am not.

 

Why do we lie?

and held empty boast

because you likes it

believing in lies.

 

I an not handsome

I'm not rich

but neither are you

we play the same game

 

Now i paid for dinner

and i held the doors

chasing after you

just wanting to be with you

 

Using all my strenght

Using all my mind

why can't it be the other way

so much for 90's equality

 

Unhappily together

I made time for you

and meet you somewhere

so you can show up late.

 

Silence echoed in the fone

lasping the time we spend

there is nothing left to say

we all know our fakious tone

 

Handsome meets beauty

and happily married

medicore liveds

with medicoreness

 

and what am I left with?

uglyness, I hate myself

this is truely pain

Driving me insane.

 

and this, is what

I have to say.

For all that is above

I wished I believed in love.

 

 

 

 

"Incomplete meaning of the Universe"

 

Some people are destined to be lonely forever...

to them the world is always grey

"What is Love?" They all asked.

For Love is something they cannot feel

 

Love is for one to accept another....

It's hard for them to even accept themselves...

When everyone else just seems better

and when you got nothing to show.

 

There are always people in the lower rung

when the society's standards are high.

and when these people died out

they say the world improved.

 

When one man sees reality

and when majority is still so blind:

"Scorn the man, accuse him of insanity

Damn the man, for seeing the truth behind."

 

Two strangers sucided, or so say the news.

"but don't forget the staving african child."

the reporter expressed that view to the crowd

and turned us away from another issue.

 

African Children, no longer starving.

but not because of white man's giving.

instead of earning an honest living

they sat in frount of the TV, Craving...

 

Turned on your Tv, the window to your world.

Pop stars that couldn't sing

and models, rolemodels without a brain.

something you can screw by offering a drink.

 

The Left handed bible, a book.

preaching what's good is evil.

priests get paid to sway morals

and fondle little boys with his right.

 

Children! storytale of princess and heros

teaching them to look pretty and nice

telling them to kill, lie and steal

and then lived happily every after.

 

Let a number determine your fate

A letter to mark your life...

a paper to prove your intelligence

and to succeed? A smile on your face.

 

Love is... lalalala

It's love at first sight, forgetting the second

he looks faster, better, stronger. So Ditching

your current one is just natural selection.

 

The people build a system

of climbing over shit and other dead bodies

Trapping themselves in a tower

called baal, and hail "Deux ex Machina!"

 

the little girl piled some sand,

and placed souls on the orb.

watching them die by the hundred thousands.

"Oops!" she said, as she flew out the door.

 

 

 

 

"S-A-D"

 

Escaping me,

Lingering in the air.

Stiletto forming the perfect shape

And watch it drifts and dissipates.

Slowly robbing my life away.

Slowly inducing my sober state.

The lights glows again,

As I take another breath.

And have it coursing in my vein.

The orange lights glows in the dark

Burning ashes, leaving another mark.

 

Green, reds, brown, and light

Filling the empty glass tonight.

Crystals warp the shades of black.

Another drink of strange delight.

Drowning in my pleasure

Drowning away my pain.

Knock another one back again.

As I take another shot

And have it pounding in my brain.

Artificial colors blending in a murk.

woke up in the morning with just a few bucks.

 

Slithering bodies,

Of cold naked flesh

Emotionless motion, rocking

Put it in her, and forcefully giving.

Thrusting from my selfless passion

Thrusting for my selfish crave.

And let it die another moment.

As I laid motionless

And both of us get raped again.

Meaningless gesture done in vain

Exploring our body, found the mind disdain.

Wow! A torrent!

 

It's good to get everything DOWN IN WRITING before you lose it. It's worthwhile to go back and check the spelling when you're done. But the important part is getting is out of you and written down.

Sometimes the hardest, and bravest part...

 

Some first impressions:

 

"Saw You" - interesting look into the pain and self-doubts of someone perceiving themselves as rejected. The self-imposed acceptance of inferiority in a way grants absolution to her for the rejection, instead choosing to put it all on himself. Absolution or not, he paints her with his pain.

I thought it was effective to carry on the kitten conversation, but then make it clear that the barriers are absolute - no recognition is sought, the street is not crossed.

The mind that thinks on enough levels, is self-aware enough, sometimes turns inward and filters everything through it's feelings. The inner conversations make others extraneous and defeat is certain - why prove it with a reality attempt? Even when trying, it becomes half-hearted and the reactions become appropriate to the already played internal reality instead of the external moment. Self-defeat becomes self-fulfilled.

Heh, catch me blurring and buzzing - I read a lot into a poem!

 

Dark Mysterious Figure -

"You do not know I loved you,"

What self-condemning words! The anguished cry of the self-judged, not daring to magnify the existent pains of existence by risking the fantasies he builds - but too intelligence to lose himself in the fantasies and always bitterly aware of what is not. Ouch! Really good representation of the complexities and spirals of inner perceptions. Perhaps it's possible to be TOO perceptive and intelligent - but still cursed to feel, to need, to want those things common to nearly every human being.

The figure has observed, judged, and condemned himself without ever giving his love object the chance. What terrible defeats a tortured self-image reaps, clearly presented. I could make this guy into an Uberly sympathetic villian in an RPG.

 

The stranger - I feel echos of the Door's song, "when you're a stranger". That song was a hit because so many people feel like an outsider looking in, like a Quasimodo hiding and faking behind the Jester's social masks.

 

Love Sickness. Heh. Even Type-A control freaks are susceptible. Neat how the person can feel the physical symptoms of love, and interpret it as symptoms of an irrestable disease, later drug... Sweet addictive sickness, let me catch you again! :P

 

Regret -

wow. I like this one best so far. Many people have a good memory... but one so EMOTIONALLY good that they relieve the pain fresh as when it occurred... How can healing occur when time doesn't knit wounds, but instead reinflicts them?

 

Sigh

I've run out of time at the moment. I'll definitely come back. It's not often I find someone who can expression a perception or experience foreign to me in such a way I relate on the intellectual as well as the intuitive levels. Illuminating and powerful.

These could become much more powerful with rewriting and refinement - the effort would be definitely worth it in my opinion. But even as they are, raw, they are moving if a person can let themself be challenged by them.

Lord of the Gay, you have some interesting stuff here and I'm looking forward to reading through your work a bit more carefully.

 

Personally, however, I'd have prefered it if these had been posted separately as one long post of many consecutive pieces is rather difficult to read and my own reading style is to linger with a single piece at a time as opposed to several in rapid succession. Posting them all together also makes it more difficult to provide commentary and reactions on specific pieces.

 

You've obviously put no small amount of effort and care into your work and the products of such care and effort are well worth being made as accessible as possible to your readers.

Untitled as of yet

 

…And the blood and sweat

With all that nerve wrecks,

The efforts in our toil

Is what makes us mighty.

The struggle is in both body and mind.

Battle royal of strengths and wits,

Knowing every decision is life or death.

 

but true determination never falters.

To take the chance, brave the world,

and accepting failure without question,

just to strife closer to victory.

Having adrenaline rush into the head,

So to fill it with intangible dreams.

riding elation to the peak of the world.

 

Yet eternal is the oncoming tide,

spoke no chance of survival

in the final break of dawn.

The glory and gold to the rightful hand

So Silent is the world, no blame. Fate has chosen.

Watching success taken, amounting to nothing,

and then the surprise of having silvers fallen into our hands.

"Hurt"

 

Interlude, the sweet song of pain

Electrons flood the neural vein.

Every sin is in my brain.

One shriek,

Blood from the flesh

One scar,

Etched into the mind.

Welcome to a rest of life asunder.

 

Hurt came from us

Devours us.

Misery that we feel

Becomes our very lust.

 

The most surreal joy spawns the sweetest sorrow.

Only the suffering is real, happiness is hollow.

The Skeleton man awaits, and we follow.

Once dreaming,

Shattered Psyche

Once again,

Anguish serenity.

To hurt is to remember.

 

Pain because we are

Who we are.

Hate because we will

Never get that far.

 

Hurt, hurt, hurt.

 

 

"Mother" (for mother's day)

 

Her hands are warm and rough,

From everyday’s dishwasher touch.

 

Her face lined with wrinkles

Etched into familiarity.

 

Her shapes are out,

For all the months she carried.

 

Her years are gone,

Life she gave freely, her very own.

 

And every time when I see your familiar face,

The silhouette that peeks into my room at night,

The touch of your hand, worn but strong,

I’ll remember:

 

Her sacrifice I shall not waste

And I thank thee with all my heart, Mother.

"Heart of the Desert"

 

May it be

like a desert

still and endless,

void emptiness,

becoming nothingness.

 

The same sun

seems to shines

on different worlds.

There; it nourishes

but here, it scorns.

 

Bitter water

had since run dried;

the time had past

even for the place

to shed tears.

 

The moon's unreachable,

and stars are like ice.

Night here holds no romance;

This land is too old,

too dry to even love.

 

The sands remember

what it wishes to forget,

infinite mundane grains.

Hiding it like sins,

and soaked into its wounds

 

Do not venture by

This place holds no life

But sucks everything dries.

Do not lose yourself

In this lost wasteland.

To a little lost girl

 

Take a good look in the Mirror

and see what's beyond

memories of things that is gone

 

look deep into your eyes

pass all the bad memories

and see the beauty that's inside

 

the world holds everything you want

if only you have hopes in life

the courage to face down all your doubts.

 

there is more then emptiness

and you shouldn't be afraid.

believe in yourself, trust in me.

Sherrys are Red, curacao are Blue

 

Glasses of red and white I see

savouring flavours, all for me

to drown in sweet reverie

 

being semi-conscious I held

my senses numbing, so I felt.

Looking down a cliff, just right on the edge

and standing there, between life and death

the dark aromtic pain beckons

my mind pounded by the light, weakens

 

Slowly from the hazzle I was torn

incoming warmth, I felt reborn

and woke up again in the morn
