For Her in this World

my love

allow Spring it’s riotous bloom

furious flower

impertinent beauty

let’s forgive summer’s trumpeting blare

for nights of silk’d silence 

by the sea

come the dawning of Autumn

Autumn most beloved of your heart

Autumn when we did start 

sweet grace of melody 

of melancholy 

so granted to you and me

how Winter will find us wrapped in 

in luxuriant tapestry

Winter’s blustery

invitation

received 

for you 

you only

all seasons

secrets revealed

for you

you alone

all colors

in this world

released

Elixir of the crowd,

she hid her pain behind masks of the bind.

The curtain of pretence proud

fell staining her blind.

Scrambling her to ground

made her frozen for all year round.

Killing the hope chosen,

she wailed and whimpered behind her veil.

Facing the mirror pale.

The era may be long gone;

the tactic still prevailed for all years drown

those needles pricked her untwisted.

Her tears came ice cold.

They left her alone

leaving the hidden gold

in the dark fold.

Piqued she spell her farewell,

piercing the world of alter egos.

As frozen figurines, ringing the knell;

driving those thorns regret echoes.

Her blazing eyes burning them to ashes,

vending the vengeance

with the pride of her rebirth.

-THE FROZEN PHEONIX

A young girl in her dreams

within the silence

of the enormous books

in the nook;

Side-glances.

The book in her hand flipped open,

it was a love story

embraced in the walls of a prison.

Commotion in her heart

of a mysterious emotion.

Raining.

From the shades

mirroring the passion.

She fell in love.

The fantasy

in the library.

This one was inspired by a dream I had.

[roofofalteregos]

In the hunt for gold

within the space beneath the windows-

It was darkness.

"Fantasy"

They locked the doors,

hid the keys

behind the leaves and thyme

away from the light.

He saw the lanterns of midnight

Though there were no nights.

Only the moon peeped and pampered;

Until his last breath

when the pain perched

from the bruises left behind.

-TRAPPED

mālya

[roofofalteregos]

Some never knew

Some never tried

Though they knew

just the half

The other side still in the dark

just like the moon

Some predict

Some laugh

Pretend as if they knew the whole

but nothing in truth

Fragile schemes maybe they thought

just like a flake

Never did they know

Never did they try.

Maybe they are sent

to another sculpture

with the same soul

To live those moments

‘Once again’

And choose the road beside

to pass by

mālya

[roofofalteregos]

Through the lifeless days of life

She appeared again

Her smile assuring

Hugged me

"Sorry" she uttered and left

Leaving me bruised.

That tinge of pain tied

Lashing out the Pied Piper

Hid me inside the haunted house.

Sleepless steeps of night

dark circles ditched my desires

and my beliefs in built-in, breaking

my fences and defense

We loved each other

‘possessively’

An "excuse" to hurt me

you seemed to be.

You seemed to be

an agony to ash me.

mālya



[roofofalteregos]

I see them as

ethereal, beyond

my fevered reach.

The glass perceives

me as a notebook

filled with

ramblings, rotting

in the trash.

If they don't

like me, neither

does the world

and the kindness I've

learned to show this

varicose longing

fades

beneath dust.

STRANGER

People, they say,

the crowd dispersed

The scattering thoughts

Mindless it seems

[roofofalteregos]

NIGHTMARE

into the agony

whilst in the bliss

[roofofalteregos]

STORM

The mayhem to take care

The storm to recline

The chasm of thoughts
