The Omen


Remember the child who was the Omen,
Borne in the womb of trepidation,
The one who was to be sacrificed to the gods;
To abate the grim fate that awaited our nation

Remember the charge was given to me,
To exhaust her dark soul in the evil forest,
And bring back her blood to bath
The Altar of Tofi the jealous goddess

But my heart will not let me do
The deathly task that was yet so divine,
Her tender soul was so innocent,
So pure and so fine

The Omen I left therefore unharmed
In her place an animal was slain,
To appease the goddess' thirst for blood;
And absorb our dear land of her blames

Eighteen years have hurried by
The dark secret is still untold,
For once I fear the gods were right
As our worst nightmare begins to unfold

And it is too late to end to try to end it now
Me and the Omen are a part of each other
Plus I can't say on who's side I truly stand;
Solidarity for my land or a monster's lover

Yet I cannot stand the creature she has become
A nympho by day,a merciless devourer at night,
Blood-stained she returns back at cock crow
Into a meditative silence at daylight

And whenever I hear the mournful cries
The guilt in me swells intensely,
For the source of their pain and grief;
Here in secret resides with me!

I am a poem without a poet



I am a star on a rainy night
hidden behind the clouds


~


I am the wind after a hurricane
wiping your tears yet unnoticed


~


I am a vine on a barren land
searching for a tree to climb


~


I am a pond next to a lake
polluted and drained


~


I am a needle in a haystack  
no one gives a damn about


~


I am an art without a muse
empty from inside out


~


I am a story without an author
waiting to be told  


~


I am a poem without a poet
will you write me on ?

Call me Perpetua in Flames

I do burn
as i rage this life
fighting the need for babe at breast
willing my desires to keep the peace
in my body that feels
incendiary want

My martyrdom
does not go unnoticed
nor come easily to my sex
i sit in silence and I remember....
a hunger once

My mouth wet
as I traced his tell tale signs
left to run in pearly rivers down
Cloudy thighs
spread by danger
and steely blue eyes

My thrust spoke volumes
and told him truth
as I panted over broad shoulder
secret longing
that kept me in his sweet
but careless bondage

It was then
love became a bonfire of ache
lit by uncommon heat
from our fuck high fueled afterglow
and my mind
and nature were tossed
to trepidation
and fiery yearning

For reasons I won't disclose, I don't feel able to judge this competition. Therefore, I am throwing this open to a public vote. This seems the fairest way to judge this contest. We'll have a winner shortly...

Thank you so much for everyone that entered, there's some wonderful entries here x
