Won't let you walk away

Haha, if this blog isn't dead (once again) then I dunno what it is! D:
But I shall post my History poem here! Okay, our History poem..
Okay my history poem since I wrote the whole thing lol.

The Rising Sun

Sunlight filtered through the door
We watched in awe- our red sun rise
Coarse fingers shake my soul awake
I kiss my dreams, say my goodbyes

Each trigger of our firearms
Familiar screams strung through my head
The mynah’s call drifts into night
Like warrior men’s words left unsaid

Each night, the sky inhales the moon
I sit in silence, writing to you

Genocides stapled into life
An air raid sounding not too far
Children stream into tight pods
Into mothers' arms- their umbrella

The scent of death haunts all these streets
Vapourising grains of hope
The sea turns amber; red; maroon
The blood of men, the tattered ropes

Each night, the sky inhales the moon
I sit in silence, I do miss you

Morning clouds embrace the sun
I think of home; nothing is forlorn
With blinds I shut out all the fire
War is a race- a marathon

Tears drown broken hearts with pain
My chest is sore, my mind stays strong
I go into the Zero-fighter Jet
I was doing it for you all along

Tonight the sky is red; not blue
Nippon, tonight, I'll bleed for you

Plagiarise, & I freaking swear I will kill you.
Kbye :)

In The Morning

Yayness I've got this pretty CAP poem I like.
Though it's damned long & draggy but whatever! :)
K, here goes!

In The Morning
(written in 2007)

The vibrant rays of the bleeding sun
Erodes the clouds into the sky
The morning soundtrack- a lovebird's song
A signature call to get us by

On the silhouette of a broken branch
Crisp leaves dance to the sparkling breeze
Fading with dust-coated lawns
That 6am dewdrops rinse with ease

Eyes greet the blinding sunshine
Hiding behind curtains drawn
With concealed truths of yesterday
Masked so fresh from dusk to dawn

Through the hallway, down the stairs
Old faces and their north-curled lips
Reminders of loves you possess
Inside those cracking fingertips

Another morning- clocked to the chore
Reluctance wakes your sleeping soul
Wrinkles blind a budding age
Reveals routines; so old, so cold

Behind glass eyes tears cease to leak
For the sake of your resilient shell
That is gazed upon by family
Their hearts you could never bear to sell

A vulnerable switch rusts in the depths
That shadows memories of joy and bliss
What's needed to trigger a smile on your lips;
The morning- Happiness's greatest kiss

Painted Lies

2007-11-06T00:05:00.000-08:00

OKAY HERE'S AN OLDIEEE. :) /whichwasedited.
I remember writing it last year & Charis loved it :)
That's a huge achievement, Charis is the Poetry God(dess).
This loverlaye here is going into my CAP Portfolio :D

Faded landscapes of nightmares
Sketch tears that fell from these eyes
Lift your broken pastel wings
Fly into the charcoal sky

Dented like a westbound sign
A broken soul, pain you can't bear
A back with knives, repeatedly stabbed
They let you down but do you care?

Painted scars adorn your face
Gloom dancing in every cell
Victim of a thousand wars
Burn with every lie they tell

Every stain of ink you print
Masks existing doubts & fears
Brush away all your mistakes
With a palette of diluted tears

Glittering eyes; they follow you
As you draw disasters born
Forsaken talent in cold hands
As you construct raw hate reformed

Erase the guilt left in your soul
A dirty conscience of debris
Break the black & white inside
Live a portrait lie for free

Okay haven't touched this thing in ages.
So here goes, something I wrote in Taiwan :)
/fortherecord; it was written in JUNE 2007.

Scorched letters & stamps
dented fingernails- chipped
Magenta fresh scars
Lie stagnant on her hips

A fringe of the time you inhabited
my head/ oh but a blur vision
Migraine swimming in my head
Penicillin dreams & throatburn

Stained; the tissues fallen
Yesterday's memories thrust inside
Do you remember me?
My touch's on your mind

Flame your mind with love
Burnt & broken - perfection
Halt all speech // action
One more time you watch me turn

Magnified Vindication

2007-09-06T03:25:00.000-07:00

The sun painted shadows on your face
Embracing the young moon into your eyes
A drifting cloud tossed in yor hair
The sunlight breathing through good times

An existence of someone beneath your skin
Tearing through to grasp your heart
Injected one thousand lullabies
To ease the absence when lying apart

Scarred to tell lies that plaster wounds
Hypocritical crimes reflected on my skin
I turn away from the bright lights of truth
As I clutch my alibi; running thin

Apologised, excused, but still on hold
A magnified vindication
You're who I never told

Insomnia

2007-08-10T01:31:00.000-07:00

Why aren't I asleep tonight
When the sun has kissed me goodbye
So long ago, rays washed my hair
But now, in my bed I lie

Light of the moon is dying out
A flickering candle in the air
Eyes open - attention unsplit
On drafting tonight's new nightmares

Morning inches further away
As the hands of the clock freeze
I need a lullaby tonight
Let's just hope my eyelids crease

Deprived of all the rest I need
With the light of the sun so far
Barred between the lines of hope
I cure myself of insomnia

Let's keep it sunshine for the kids

2007-08-10T01:24:00.000-07:00

Let's keep it sunshine for the kids
Illusionise their minds into a dream
Where you & me are a fairy tale.

Censor the impossible
Keep their bottled smiles real & near
& kiss them goodnight, ~~so long & goodbye~~
Twist their minds into love.

As I watch mimosas react to a paper touch;
fragile & soft - beautiful & whole
However will they react to yours?

But let's keep it sunshine for the kids
Let's erase your fatal mistakes.

promiscuous

2007-08-10T01:04:00.000-07:00

Enclosed in rosebud eyelids
Eyes that mirrored the moon
Like still water in a pinched second

Misted emotions triggered
with a swift bat of curled eyelashes,
& an upward twist of lips equivalent to satin
"I love the way you smile,"

Faint whispers in the willow trees
Infatuation inked in the night sky
Lust for her mascara-stained dress
That swept the marble floors of every hotel

Secrets stringed with a sober man's guilt
Pushed through the keyhole of a heart
Stitched to perfection

A thousand broken records perfumed into her head
But to bring back a bleeding past
Only to be reduced to tears,
with unpatched wounds.

In Your Heart

2006-11-03T00:38:00.000-08:00

In Your Heart
Drowning in your filthy lies
Sinking in your hazel eyes
Flaws overcome sense of fear
I hold my heart and call you dear

Basking in a warm sunlight
With myself I try to fight
Part of me wants you to stay
The other just wants you to pay

For the pain you've put me through
Its a wonder I still love you
Struggle to realise all mistakes
Knowing all your tears are fake

Why do I love you till I die?
Why can't I peacefully watch you cry?

My soul rests at its sullen mood
I hide under my misty hood
Resurrected save of faith
I wake up but its just too late

The moth of fate has flown too far
Now I just can't reach the bar

Why do I love you till I die?
Why can't I peacefully watch you cry?

Because I'm only dead inside
In your dark heart I reside

Vengeance

2006-11-02T22:17:00.000-08:00

Vengeance
As she walks
She leaves a trail
Of blood and pain
Her heart is failed

You left her for
Another girl
You left her empty
In this world

Now she comes
Soaked in blood
Watch out, boy
Her pain can flood

Dry your eyes
These tears are fake
You still love her
But you're too late

The hate that's built
Inside her soul
The will to kill
To make love cold

You want to kiss
To touch her hips
But its a knife
That'll cut your lips

You see her now
You love her so
Its just too bad
You let her go

Skull Dry

2006-11-02T21:43:00.000-08:00

Skull Dry
Like a knife tapping on soft skin
Like the stinging of a tear
Being held at hostage kills her slow
The pain she must endure

The answer lies within his heart
The strain of its release
Her tear-stained eyes fading in the light
Falling from piece to piece

Blood red rose and dirty jar
Their love is at its least
Will it make it to the end
Her beauty and his beast?

Kiss goodbye to love and joy
A string about to break
Skull dry hope and buried dreams
Really, was it always this fake?

Questions answered, cards are dealt
The math is simply done
Three cheers for death and broken hearts
Damned souls they have become
