Down Around a Crown

12/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Wave goodbye to what we were; a hand falls following
Kingdoms of courage and cost; ashes of loss
Her banner set ablaze; my courage torched with it
No chance to bare an heir; no hope for reprieve
Our world brought down around her crown
 
Ambition quivers in the wind; the arrow flies further
Tears that flow down crimson cheeks; a dagger plunged into her back
Which shall slow to a stop first?
 
A palace worth remembering; forgotten shambles of defeat
She believed us to be better; iron forged with the strength of promise
Her silken shawl of halcyon became a beckon of torment
 
Forever is her beauty lost; sullied by the blood of despair
We stood before her as one; laid to rest together
My sword joins her circlet of mishap; omitted by the victorious
Doomed to be buried; traitors of sensibility
In her place a new crown to bring down

This Part of Me

12/3/2020

I never was a part of you; a silent destruction of expectations
All the pieces placed down upon your feet; a shadow made of rejection
Nevermore do I follow a false promise; a fate of wandering deceit
You could take it all away; all but that part of me
 
My not so secret obsession; delusions borne from desires
It took away my purity; a monster I’ve become
Compulsion eats away the senses; the need grows stronger
One thousand ways to make it true; terrible things done to you
 
They converge in the middle; unabashed lust and loathing
Uncontrollable thoughts a torrent; the world is spinning
Further and further away; from the reality and actuality
Hate and love intertwine my mind like rope; strangling rationality
 
Please take it all away
This part of me

Harmony Entwines

Listen to the others now; loud in their discontent
Voices shattering conventional silence; hate from a place of ignorance
They shout your name; meaningless and hollow
Misguided and afraid
 
Speak your words of lust; of the faint elegance between
Let harmony entwine the two of you; a kind reprieve from evil nearby
Perfection of her saccharine impurities; not lost on you at least
Sensible and tranquil
 
Delicate touch of a hand in your own; a disputed embrace among the multitude
Sensations of unbridled bliss; beside oneself in paradise
Together in a quiet meadow; blood red roses checkered about
Forbidden amity of passion burning bright
 
See her love before you now grow; defiance of the wicked
They know not of such purity; of nothing as real as this
Two hearts find a way together; a troubled path to a place of honest beauty
Sweet emotion built upon fickle petals of misplaced fear

Doña Marina, the traitor princess

6/10/2020

Picture
A lone blade of grass; born upon the circumstance of crown
Royal appurtenance short lived
A deception by blood; set forth a justification of future treason
Mother loves another; cast away by a listless thought of lust
 
Who now claims an undesirable? What place does discarded luxury have?
They see you as nothing; to bandy the living as if insignificant
From the comfort of nobility to the pits of manmade avarice
But you have something still; polish and a blackened heart
 
He leads a conquest that will eradicate your people; but you pay no mind
In you a purpose seen; the remnants of a golden past
Chance given though unusual; in return a want naught but of loyalty
A request for your voice made; discovery of love that smolders deep within
 
You had the chance to flee; but what was there to go back to but treachery?
Home was found with them; built upon the ashes of your erstwhile culture
Allegiance burned through your heart like a field on fire; blind obedience replaced by devotion
You become something entirely different; the betrayed who became the final betrayer
 
A princess of nothing who would bear a burden of drastic decimation
La Malinche; a malachite conqueror born upon the circumstance of abandonment

Sea of Deceivers

Sway along with the cradling waves; they remind me of you
Found safe among the tide; a betrayer so true
Nourishing the senses; drowning in the deception
Abandoned like the wretched deceivers
 
A frigid embrace overcomes; warmth left only in hand
Your touch a damning reminder; slowly slipping further away
Taking me deeper into the royal shadows; a life left to waver
Entwine my heart in jaded sea tangle
 
Bleak moments become crushing memories; compression too intense to breath
Fear finds a place inside my heart; water in my lungs
Frightened not by the current; only by treachery
Hazy blue becomes nothing more than black
 
I reach the lowest place to be; coarse and caustic
We become something we swore not to be; villains of the circumstance
Nine thousands pounds of pressure; nine thousand ways to mislead
Left searching for the one way to say goodbye

Blue Mountain Fire

A melody of flame dances over the lands
Ceaseless ferocity of loss and ruin
Breathe of a million souls stifled by crimson smoke
Infernal atrocity of nature and negligence
 
Blue Mountains basked in fiery red
The devil of change and disregard
Dry winds are the betrayer of men
Electric currents of a barren destruction
 
Loss of life and home
Straining against reality of the inferno
Saying goodbye to the helpless
Becoming the hopeless
 
Embrace one final time
As the world ignites
Say goodbye
As the world burns in silence

The Door

10/8/2019

You let me in
But they say I have to go
The doorway to something different
Now a barrier to what I desire
Locked away behind
On the outside looking in
A place of comfort and passion
Memories left to fade
A wonder of what could have been
Is there more behind the door?

Only The Flames

Picture
I looked upon you with desire; a passion of pure fire
Your flames drew me closer; curiosity fused with admiration
An essence of pure intrigue and excitement
Dancing about in my eyes; swirling beyond the reality of my mind
The immense heat your smile creates in me is all that matters
 
But the closer I get; the further away I feel
Where comfort was meant to be; only the pain of the burns reside
Every step tore away a piece of me; and revealed the truths in you
I still saw the brightness that lured me here; but also the sad sensibility
Lost was the mystery; replaced by a revelation
 
You were the lantern promising warmth in a frigid darkness
And now the light that guides me to you hurts just as much as the hollowness
The sting of cold pales in comparison to the flare; the engulfing horizon
Yet I cannot look away; forever drawn to you
One more step; another bit of me taken apart
 
I’m left now with blinded vision and scorched emotions
Holding my fantasies together in my hands; losing what brought me here
Flesh and desires; beauty and brightness
I held such hope in you
Now I hold only the flames of your memory

Above Embattled Mountains

Laugh now my sweet; rejoice in the calm
You can rest your troubled mind; your threadbare heart
A battle was fought before you
Pure kindness prevailed; a gift given to this world
You stood before a mountain of chaos; yet triumph was never a doubt
 
The scars will forever be a reminder; of strength and spirit
Against all doubt and odds
The purity of your love conquered; a simple truth
A body left broken; a resolve now unlike all others
Champion of a cherished place
 
A temptation of anger from deceit born before you
True courage in evading those feelings; bloodless wounds heal
Reckless self-indulgence took parts of you away; stole virtue by force
Yet you chose a better path; a way to forgive
Protector of pure thought and innocence
 
A foolish attempt at weakening your will; a fool most of all
You’ve always been better; and invariably must so be
This will not be your sole conflict; nor only victory
Lead us down the path of calmness
And remember to laugh
