Sally’s Song
There are things I wish to say,
but each time I try,
I end up with needle and thread
coalescing in my hand.
They levitate together in cohesion,
skillfully weaving to lace my mouth,
stitching my lips to stay quiet.
I smile and nod
with an embroidery of restraint,
leaving me voiceless,
squelched by hushed whispers
of Sally’s song.

The Marionette and the Puppeteer
Having fun on his own, the puppeteer wanted any toy to pass the time with—a plaything for his lecherous mind. There, he noticed the puppet sleeping soundly in the same room—the perfect doll, he thought.
At first, it began with stolen glances and grazes across her figure. Then, when the lights were turned off and everyone was asleep, his show started, and his costume was on, designed to do tricks for her—tricks she had never felt before, and neither did she want to feel.
Paralyzed, lying like a corpse as he fastened the strings around her wrists, joints, and limbs, she...

Memory from the Past _ with "Vision_of_insanity"
so again it came
the memory you had
remembering
all the things
that always made you feel sad
turn the lights off
let the darkness arrive
when you close
the doors
your thoughts will become alive
held captive
by yesterday
that lurks
like a curse
prowling after your everyday
shadows will haunt
your tomorrow
with constraints
meant to disrupt
your life until you turn hollow
the memory you had
remembering
all the things
that always made you feel sad
turn the lights off
let the darkness arrive
when you close
the doors
your thoughts will become alive
held captive
by yesterday
that lurks
like a curse
prowling after your everyday
shadows will haunt
your tomorrow
with constraints
meant to disrupt
your life until you turn hollow

Alone in the Dark _ with "Vision_of_insanity"
darkness rules this way
the only light,
the light of friends who died
no fear, no pain,
on the quest for love
the soul crumbles in pieces
parts that can't combine
never born, never died
hate and domination destroyed
I, the wanderer of loneliness
forever seeking a glimmer
amidst the despair
an idle chase,
running after erased traces
of the other half,
lost with broken dreams,
fragments turn into ashes
and hope remains unfound
along with unanswered calls
I, the rover of...

Soul Proposal
Echoes of stiletto heels within the ebony château,
My graphite garters donned
Under my ball gown,
Its shade derived from an onyx of ivory’s depths.
Descending stairs of life’s timer,
A slow tread towards my metal casket,
Adorned with cloisonné
Of my shadows’ prints.
My beloved Grim Reaper
Offering a dark trousseau,
As a bundle to propose
To my soul,
With a scythe to entrance my corpse.
Softly crooning and rocking me
To sleep in my condemned cradle.
My graphite garters donned

Its shade derived from an onyx of ivory’s depths.
Descending stairs of life’s timer,
A slow tread towards my metal casket,
Adorned with cloisonné

My beloved Grim Reaper
Offering a dark trousseau,
As a bundle to propose
To my soul,
With a scythe to entrance my corpse.
Softly crooning and rocking me
To sleep in my condemned cradle.

Indifference of Flesh
How callous my flesh is,
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell
to writhe in agony,
indifferent to their torment.
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell

From One Womb
Emanated from the very womb
Two fetuses
Entangled in webs of DNA
Yet one was born to be the victim
Suffering with a smile
Sucked dry from blood by the other

Unconditionally
I would offer you
My everything,
To hold close,
A present wrapped prettily,
For you to unravel,
Delicate inks of flaws tattooed,
Inside a gift box,
With a touche finale,
Of a tag attached to the ribbon.
Unconditionally, yours.

Night’s Solace
After the sun faded, buried under the horizon
The sky’s dark drape fell, for the moon to emerge
Settling with grace on the heart of sable satin
Greeted by the septillion stars and lingering clouds
An eternal canopy glowing in wonder of the heavens
With the gentle breeze caressing my numbness
Blowing life into me, igniting my soul with warmth
With the night’s solace, I found beauty in quietude
They all listened to my story with soft ears
An embrace from nature soothing my worries
Wiping my tears...
The sky’s dark drape fell, for the moon to emerge
Settling with grace on the heart of sable satin
Greeted by the septillion stars and lingering clouds
An eternal canopy glowing in wonder of the heavens
With the gentle breeze caressing my numbness
Blowing life into me, igniting my soul with warmth
With the night’s solace, I found beauty in quietude
They all listened to my story with soft ears
An embrace from nature soothing my worries
Wiping my tears...

Replay
An agonizing reminder
Echoes with every poke
Triggering a memory rush
Like a replay button
Pausing the present
Muting the voices around
And unmuting those haunting ghosts
The scene becomes full screen
No exit icon to shut it down
Unable to fast forward
To skip my torment
Nor rewind
To save my tape
Bound to watch a trailer
Captured by my lenses
Cursed to relive the celluloid
Frame by frame
Lacerating my unhealed wounds
Forcing me to sequester
Shun everyone
And retreat back...
Echoes with every poke
Triggering a memory rush
Like a replay button
Pausing the present
Muting the voices around
And unmuting those haunting ghosts
The scene becomes full screen
No exit icon to shut it down
Unable to fast forward
To skip my torment
Nor rewind
To save my tape
Bound to watch a trailer
Captured by my lenses
Cursed to relive the celluloid
Frame by frame
Lacerating my unhealed wounds
Forcing me to sequester
Shun everyone
And retreat back...

Sanguine Plumule
Weeping tarnished pearls
For the sprout in anguish
Seeking my shelter
That harms her instead
These aren’t my wails
They’re hers
Inflicted by my green thumb
Withering the fragile
Sanguine plumule
For the sprout in anguish
Seeking my shelter
That harms her instead
These aren’t my wails
They’re hers
Inflicted by my green thumb
Withering the fragile
Sanguine plumule
