Submissions by Raven1109 (Manuelito D. Pio Roda)

Forced to embrace the
silence in this solitude.

Where memories come
into view.
 
Twisted images  
of me and you.
 
Like a nightmare
that keeps eating  
away on my mind.
 
The wind sounds like
an unbridled symphony.
 
Untamed at  
my consciousness.
 
Slowly killing my
spirit continuously.
 
For I was cradled  
by your claws of deceit.
 
Too much of sadness
and tears.
 
I'm tired of thinking
of you for all these years.

A place filled with toxicity.
Influence speaks with fluency.
Flaws are under scrutiny.
Opinions are mutiny.

Gossiping is trendy
and always up to date.
Colleagues are user-friendly,
greedy and full of hate.

If only I could stay at home
with no worries or headache, I would.
But it would be best to stay calm
while in this place, for family's sake.

Her elegant gaze
astonishes
the wicked souls
of desire.

Her simplicity
transcends
the beauty
of a goddess.

And yet
she offers
her nakedness.

Not her body
but her
authentic soul
for me to write on.

Her sparkling eyes
are a beautiful diversion.

Demeanor is hell-bent
to dazzle one's paradigm.

A princess of fantastic mirage
that will sell you a dream within
a dream.

Her sleight of hand makes a
mystical impact.

She's from a place of faith,
from where lies her true beauty.

Her magic will resonate
within the hearts of many.
