2014 NaPoWriMo Day 7

Books

 

My books –
my unending
love, my everlasting
comfort, my undying light in
the dark.

 

The dark
ways of the world
are softened by words that
speak to the deepest hollows of
my soul.

 

My soul
cries for those worlds
that make reality
and humanity unwelcome –
surreal.

 

Surreal –
books wake your dreams
and imagination.
They call to me like a lover –
my books.

No Longer Giving

 

Your voice echoes through
the hallway, reminding me
I no longer care.

 

I no longer care
about you and your selfish
beliefs about love.

 

Beliefs about love –
ours differ – I give my all –
you just take and take.

 

You just take and take.
You do not deserve my love.
I am better off.

 

I am better off,
no longer reacting when
your voice echoes through.

Deserve Better

We said our goodbyes
but the sight of you each day
hurts me a little
more each time, more than what I
suffered when you broke my heart.

 

You broke me in more
ways than one –heart – spirit –soul.
In your eyes, I no
longer exist. I deserve
better, you immature ass.

Love and Liars


You were mine -
my sun and my moon -
you promised forever.


You were gone -
leaving without a second glance.
You shouldn't lie.


Love makes liars
of you, me, the world -
we're just pretending.


Those three words
should never be spoken, its
deeds that prove.

Haunted Lullabies


The crow and the butterfly,
you summer day, me winter dark,
chasing in the colourless sky.
The crow and the butterfly.
Your haunting lullabies - I die -
pierce my heart through my tattooed mark.
The crow and the butterfly
you summer day - me winter dark.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 2

Death of the Nordics


For nine long days did
Odin, the all father hang
upside down from the
Yggdrasil, Tree of Life, to
learn all knowledge of the runes.


Thor, beloved son,
the mighty giant slayer,
wielded his hammer
Mjollnir, wearing iron gloves
in his goat led chariot.


Loki, a lost son
of the frost giants he was.
Loki, a brother
to the warrior Odin.
Will bring all worlds to their knees.


Huginn and Muninn,
Odin's thought and memory,
their flight through all worlds
is the reason he knows all,
but he fears they won't return.


Valkyries, riders
of the bloody battlefields.
They choose for Odin
his guests in great Valhalla -
bloody crows guiding the slain.


All Loki's children
imprisoned for all of time -
Sleipnir - Odin's steed,
Jormungandr and Hel,
Fenrir - killer of Odin.


A broken friendship
will set the worlds on fire
and the skies to ice.
Ragnarok will come to be -
bringing the death of all gods.

Your Desire and Me


"Tell me your desire
and I'll rush to fulfil that wish:
a star from the sky
or do you want a starfish?"
- Caicara Song by Flavio de Araujo (Translated by Rachel Morganstem-Clarren)


Oh, to the fire in my soul,
to the rising sun of my dying night -
tell me what you most desire,
tell me what wish I must fulfil
to keep your bright light burning beside my blackened soul.


Do you wish for the stars in the sky?
All of them dim compared to your light.
Do you wish for the jewels in the earth?
All of them flawed compared to your beauty.
Do you wish for the rainbows in the water?
All of them insipid compared to your aura.


I would bring you the world,
if only you stayed.


Oh, to the ice in my heart,
to the dying stars of my broken dark -
I asked what you most desire,
I asked what wish I must fulfil
to keep your demented soul burning beside my broken heart.


I offered you the world,
if only you stayed -
but my love for you was never good enough,
never good enough for your hollow heart.
