Sorrow

Sorrow

Crowgod by Apterus


 A blessing we all thought it was,

Riddled us with a childish cause.

Such theatrics, worthy of an applause,

All was in harmony, now in dust.


Before Sorrow came the Joy.

Filled us with joy the young boy,

Ah, what years he would enjoy,

If he hadn't seen the drawers of the highboy.


One drawer revealed the another,

Such plague could even kill the earth mother.

Blimey, such beauty to claim!

No room to shame, I am to blame.


The young boy was a dweller,

Finding beauty in a wine cellar.

Is it your strongest suit

to have your love in dispute?


One tear flooded the heart,

Yet it couldn't take our sins apart.

My dear Joy, lost its harmony,

Whipped with hatred, burnt in ash,

Memories made a splash.

An angel it was, Joy was no more,

His wings were only sore.


The face he once used to embrace,

Melted into a cup for her to drink.

Capturing his remains, a gullible chase,

Joy became Sorrow, her wings now inked.


No face, yet he could scream,

Was it his nightmare or her dream?

No sound, yet he could cry,

Our end was nigh.


Atop her throne, Sorrow awaits.

Watching till the day of trial arrives.

Sharp tears, onyx wings, black hands,

The judgment still stands.

No joy.

There exist things such as songs, pictures, animals, quotes, words, sounds, colors, and people reminiscent of better times when we felt like there was a flame keeping us alive. I despise the need to have an obligation, which tells me to look back, in order to rejuvenate because to rejuvenate, one must lose youth, energy, or joy. Perhaps the definition is not as alien as I expect it to be.  Alas, no one will care about these sounds, words, verses or emotions simply because there is no space, time or need to keep them close. And just like that, I find no joy in anything. There is no need to cry or shout when the void is at its absolute.

I hate to say this, but I wish I was in the past.


Sorrow was one of the many amalgams presented in my poem titled "The Poem About A Trial". One down, others to follow.

All Past Girls Now Sunny Meadows

 All Past Girls Now Sunny Meadows Not much of a tale dare we speak of and also bitter the tongue that speaks of it now, a vile beast that looms. Long have I grown meadows that once sprinkled with ashes, that smell like love. Once banquet for eyes, now a husk. All the meadows that I grew, and dare I say, quite a few, ruptured a fragment of my soul leaving the shell of a man. All the girls that I loved smelled like sunny meadows. Reminiscent of that bloom fills the heart, and the heart that blooms. All the girls that I loved smelled like sunny meadows. Like a smell that shall never leave but alas, one you never preserve. All the girls that I loved smelled like sunny meadows. Stems made of passion to stem the blood that soaks the petals. All the girls that I loved once danced in my meadows. Often rainy, we, the wet peasant, devoured the gifted, the above. All the girls that I loved once laid their compassion to rest. Where the hollow meadow grasped soaked their souls with peace. All t...

The Sundial in the Garden

Image
 The Sundial in the Garden The Sundial in the Garden —after afternoons unwitnessed Beneath the cloisters' sighing shade, Where ivy grieves the stone, I stand where lovers softly laid Their secrets into bone. I, time’s obedient servant, stay— A brass throat kissed by sun— Yet no warm hand has turned my way, Nor touched the hours I run. Around me drift the springtime pairs, With hair like drifting flame; Their fingers write in midday airs What I could never name. A head upon a chest reclines, Their temples in duet; Their breath explores each other's spines— A pact the soul forgets. I mark each pulse. I hear the knee Brush softly against thigh. Their shadows curl around the tree As mine just points and dies. Their laughter, like a distant song, Spins circles in the air— Not unlike that endless wheel That winds the windmill’s stare. They trace the arches of the brow, The jawline's sacred bend. The lips are doors they enter now And I, outside, preten...

Imbued Verses

Image
By Henry Doubnez Imbued Verses Singing a song whose words I do not know, but reflections that are imbued to my soul losing to my mind's projections. The feeling is always the same, starting with a stimulation. A prospering combustion that strikes the heart, never fading. I stare at my verse, seeing your name, never stopping my flame. And they pray that we meet thy sight, une rose ornée d’épines. Don't want to live in a world where my verses wither, like a flag furled not to show, but to burn my spirit for an isolation, now split. Looking back now I realize all that is written, an epilogue. A plastic chapter dedicated and a world that was never real. Dressed like a mirror, hoping that you notice not to shatter but to prosper my heart's matter and see the beauty you bring. Surface is shattered, the shell is  gone and freeing what is within an empty tomb, yet une rose qui fleurit and what a scent, cleansing my tomb. If this is how a song ends, whisper it but only from you can ...
