On a road's ends
hang in the air
a hue, soft as the smoke in your eyes
like words of sleet and coal
burning frozen, freezing hot
hang, like forgotten crime
a serenade to Death
as its shadow creeps upon our minds
and devours our souls
count your sins, no more time
the walls are closing in
now there's no more words to say
no more dreams to crash and burn
count your sins, don't confess them
heaven's gates are closed to us
take your light and leave your past behind
we're leaving here tonight
we knew it'd boil through
Just...
a hue, soft as the smoke in your eyes

From a Dream of Love and Longing
Baby, you know I didn't want this
it was obvious
the time would come
I never expected
it'd be then
Our wings were clipped
so you couldn't fly up to me
and I couldn't fly down to you
if I jumped I'd fall
They lifted me too far up
so close to God, but
too far from you
You may not know
but I never lost sight of you
I hated myself
because I had put that desolate hue
on your scintillating features,
that frown upon your perfect lips
I hated myself
because I had painted those bitter tears
that...

Fly/Vertigo
Darkness Surrounds
Illuminating the tranquility of decrepit trepidation
more, the rasping whisper of the seventh sin
Darkness Engulfs
Embraces of the night air
my broken wings take flight
weary and tattered into the cold dark
soul pleading for warmth
My senses dull and fray
Mind shattered to a million pieces
Is nothing sacred?
screaming out to the grinning moon
Life is death, and so one is the other
I never wanted this to end
Give your heart and let it beat with mine
Up I go, to whatever afterlife awaits
Can...

Centipede
note: this poem is basically me spewing out random words]
the mixtape lies
and alibies burn
when the tables
are overturned
Carrion, carry on,
devil, dreck
Excuse me, pardon
pathetic wreck
Whiteboard stains
on strangers' lives
head pains, migrains
blood on knives
Slim cold steel
a sharpened edge
Nothing's real
upon the dredge
late night scares
frozen toes
cruel nightmares
of friends, of foes
Charcoal tattoos
paper skin
the truth of noose
is sinking in
life is...

Stranger
sat patiently in protection
of a dim yellow light
for a stranger's company
in hopes to spark my
rain-soaked candle soul
I've lost all control
Thin red lines running
on skin's surface
pain sets in and kicks
hard at creaking, fraying nerves
I clearly see
all I can't be
This guitar was my happiness
In which I confided
but steel strings rust
and choose to betray,
left strangled,
broken, entangled
Compulsive liar
thief, cheat,sinner
Living life behind facade
I can't remember
who I was before......

CARNAGE
It's my first poem in months, so just chill.
is it what we do not see
that will devour and deplete
what is left of dignity
and the thrones of deity
Is it what we do not heed
that will plant the docile seed
of being grown, militant force
that asphyxiates the pores
From the mouths of the naive
is what only they believe
Confronted otherwise they lash
out, deny, hold strong to trash
In a such perpetual motion
comes along a repetition
Life, death, rewind, play
The night, for evermore brings day ...

Dazed Soliloquy
honestly, I don't know what this is about. I wrote it while half-asleep...
softly now, glide down
into the tumultuous silence
lower your crown
to this brutal kindness
sing to the card
the ace of spades
catch on the scarred
fall in cascades
parachute into
this dilapidated maze
bloody and blue
in the organized craze
Hear the sights
and touch the noises
taste your frights
and see the voices
scream out
in self destruction
of the innate thought
of your salvation
we'll be hiding
in...

Lost
oh hey, here's another bilingual one :D as usual, original below english.
Eyes creep, search
this vast empty darkness
something's not right
This heart beats
These feet run
These lungs breathe
but this soul
is lost
with the wind
Indonesian:
Mata merayap, mencari
kegelapan kosong ini
Sesuatu tak beres
Jantung ini berdetak
kaki ini berlari
Paru-paru ini bernapas
Namun jiwa ini
hilang
dengan angin
--HILANG--

Alive (tribute to My Chemical Romance)
this one's a bit sketchy, I'm sorry. just felt like making it... since I've never done any art or poetry on MCR, I feel I should just make this one last tribute poem.
Marching down the alleyways
the sons of rebellion
hold their heads up
high in the air
raising their flag
once more
to pierce the sky
Colors follow
where they set foot
words
redundant
for music speaks out
their souls
and countless others'
Pseudonymous and masked
screaming out the truth
to themselves
to the world
to...

Inspire Me, World
Another block, perfect
exactly what I need
Another cliff to climb
another wall to tear down
fuck the world
Year of the snake
unlucky dragons
Charms mean nothing
unless you believe them
I don't
My mind is dark
my vision hazy
I'm seeing things in pixels
and not my usual curve
Lost
Nothing gets me up
Everything pushes me down
my artistic poet mind
Is in a deep coma sleep
that's great
You see, my cure
is the only thing
that I starve for
and fall trying to get
reignition

Blood Stain on the Red And White
This one is translated from the original Indonesian version. I'll put the original right under this one :)
"See? I told you all this
would never ever finish!
History is weird, it just won't
move on, and instead repeats"
Like graffiti on city walls
Murals on the streets, on train stations
It is the truth
that is a crime
Everyone is promising
"I will make this country better!"
But they don't try
they turn away, hands to their ears and eyes
What is happening to the world?
Are we blind and deaf
To what...

SLOTH
sloth is when I have to do homework
And I can, but I don't
because my inner sloth is going berserk
And I just won't
do anything. at all
Sloth is when I lie in bed all day
When I should be working
but I really think there's nothing to say
'cause it's nice, just lying
in bed with a book
and crisps and coffee
I know it's not getting me anywhere
but sometimes it's nice
to stay somewhere peaceful, somewhere
slow. it's bad advice
for you but it works
well for me
I'm a sloth, and it's terrible
for my scores, but...
