My Poetry Part 6 - Death, Last Tear, Greedy Emeralds, and More

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

---

Death

Your cold embrace

Beckons me to disgrace.

Feel the warm blood flow,

Beneath your lunar glow.

The sight is tainted.

The end is fated.

 

Last Tear

The last tear I shed 

Was the most bitter.

 

This terrible regret

Will not let me forget.

My bleeding chest.

My bleeding chest.

 

If I could discard one memory

It would be the day

I tasted your warm breath.

So full of life,

So full of death.

 

Greedy Emeralds

Pearls and emeralds,

Ocean blue Sapphires.

 

They cannot quench

My brewing ire, ire.

 

My once dead desires,

Now leaves and retires.

 

Pearls white as snow,

Cannot make my cheeks glow.

 

Your emeralds,

Whispers “greed”.

 

I truly regret

The end we met.

 

Dull Blade

Time does not forgive.

It only forgets.

The phantoms of that day

Scream, “Nemesis, rise again”.  

 

The sword of Damocles

Oscillates above your head.

The hand trembles and shakes.

 

Let the sword fall

And sever the bonds

That held me for so long.

 

The chains still remain,

That blade is dull.

 

Falling Day

I cannot forgive your disdain,

Nor your heartless remarks.

Your cold glare,

I cannot bear.

 

The last tear fell

With your last stab.

I cannot rise

From my surprise.

I expected this from all but you!

 

I must rise from these ashes!

Only then I may overcome

The falling day.

Gil and Kida

N: My Journey

Brings me agonies

Beyond description.

My legs cannot sustain

My broken form.

 

G: This secret Horror

Taints my honor.

Hide it, Discard it.

Silence it!

She can never know.

My great forlorn.

 

G:Avert your eyes

For they bind me.

 

N:What sin makes you shake?

Remember what’s at stake!

 

G & N: Our Sin lies in perdition,

Chaos has won.

 

Happy is the Man (Version 1)

Happy is the man

Who knows only sorrows.

Yet, his perdition lies

In a single ray,

A single ray of hope.

 

 Let he who is without sin,

Bring forth maledictions.

 

Lift the cross

From our backs,

And take the thorns

From my heart.

 

Happy is the man

Who awakens in horror,

From the nightmare

Of tomorrow.

 

Let he who is sin

Bring forth the spring.

 

Lift the sword,

From my chest.

I cannot… I cannot

Phantom a happy tomorrow

Beyond this valley of sorrow.

 

Happy is the Man (Pious Version)

Happy is the man

Who knows only sorrows.

His salvation lies

In a single, single ray of hope.

 

Let he who is without sins,

Bring forth his blessings.

 

Lift the cross from our backs.

Take the thorns from my chest.

 

Happy is the man

Who awakens in horror

From the nightmare

Of tomorrow.

 

Let he who is without sin

Bring forth new spring.

 

Lift the sword,

From my chest.

 

I pray for a happy tomorrow

Beyond this valley of sorrow.

 

Life is Death  

Life in itself

Brings No

Tomorrow.

 

These currents of sorrow

Carry only death and horror.

 

Life in itself

Brings no

Beginning.

 

One is cursed

To keep on

Dreaming.

 

Never taking

The right step.

Never moving

Forward.

 

Madame Le Mort

Her gruesome dance

Has Knows no beginning.

It is timeless.

 

As old as Time, Himself.

 

She has danced

Since the first grain fell.

And she will take

The last to hell.

 

Madame Le Mort

With so much pomp.

 

Take your gruesome

Some elsewhere.

Leave this window.

Leave this heart alone.

 

Hidden Corpse

The seed of life,

That was bestowed

Upon this fertile,

Soil was tainted.

 

It brought death, death.

My life lies tainted

With this hidden remorse,

With this hidden corpse.

 

Child                                       Ghost Answers

The Time for action                That is a great distraction

That shatters                            Within this fragmented life

All that Remains,                    Whispering, Whimpering

Must now rest                         “To forget, to regret”

****                                        ****

The Joys of Life,                     They are all ,but gone

This daring… now beckons    My life, Myself

To move Forward! Even if     My friends are gone.

Even if… I lie tainted,            Beneath this hollow soil.

****                                        ****

“Reach for Tomorrow            Feel Sunrise’s heat,

Look not for the Beast,           For it reaches down deep.

Let her now feast                    To reawaken, to reborn.

In thy youthful hunger,           Waiting to rise anew.

****                                        ****

Fear no her gaze,                    Your Ashes now stir

For you are the hazes              Hiding the coming noon.

 

Lullaby

Be my son,

My love, my all.

You small,

Tender child,

My gentle Muse.

 

Hear my now,

Singing this tune.

Singing this tune.

 

Now sleep peacefully,

Have sweet dreams only.

 

My song, my love, my all.

Wait for your mother,

For she comes, she comes.

 

You are not alone.

Hear now, my song.

My love song.

 

It beats to your tune.

To my tune.

 

I bring you Perdition

If you fall,

I sink.

If you rise,

I sink deeper.

 

You drown me,

You smother me.  

 

I shall make my ambition.

To bring you perdition.

 

Anger

Seize it, Grab it!

Fortune is beyond your grasp.

 

Be not a clever fox

Oh! Furious lion.

Walk forth, and take it.

 

Stolen Fortune

This woe now subsides.

All that remains

is this cold resolution.

To bring forth absolution

 

Let’s go! To the chase.

Unmask this face.

Show the hidden grimace,

The heart within my chest.

 

Not so!

The beast has struck again!

Again! Oh, no!

Its coils around my neck!

 

Strangle forth my forlorn.

Take this life away.

These cursed nights

Know no beginning.

 

I wish I was evil,

That my heart

Was filled with rage.

 

But alas, it is not so…

It is not so…

 

Red Runner

Red Runner,

This gunner

Knows no honor.

 

Red Father,

He will make

All of you goners.

His aim goes far.

His blows strike hard.

 

His line of sight will bee

Your final mistake.

 

Oh! Red Gunner,

He will make

Us all goners.

 

He is my brother,

My friend and only father.

This life grows harder

As his aim grows sharper.

 

Your final day is today!

Say “hello” to Samael

In Hell!!

Where you will dwell!

Till the end of days…

 

Body’s Escaped Soul

This body cannot hold my soul.

He lies trapped, trapped.

This body was born tainted

By this malady, this agony.

 

The cold wind

Beats back,

The indecision

In my chest.

 

This final resolution.

Will bring my just retribution.

 

This body cannot hold my soul.

He seeks the sound of before.

This world refuses to see.

The agonizing, Me.

 

Even if the day

Becomes night.

It will not cute

My plight.

 

He seeks reckoning

The sound of her hiss.

Come forth Nemesis.

 

My body cannot hold anymore

My cold, vengeful soul!

 

My all

Come to me,

You are the one I seek.

 

Speak to me,

Your voice

Is my life, my soul, my song.

 

I cannot see

Past these bitter tears.

The memories of yesterday

Come to tear, my life, my yay!

 

The fears of yonder

Now grows much stronger.

I cannot escape your face;

 

Nor that foolish smile,

That foolish face.

My bent back

Hides my shame.

This eternal flame

Now burns stronger.

 

Forgiven but never forgotten.

You are my day, my life, my all.

 

Promise Me

Promise me not tomorrow,

For it is uncertain.

Promise me not your love,

For it is mistaken.

 

Instead, promise me

Your undying loyalty.

Offer me the warm summer

Not this frozen winter.

 

Promise Me not love,

Nor says of warmth and Passion,

For they are out of fashion.

Do not Promise me

A day, or a night;

For I desire noon.

 

Instead, promise me

The fruit of our passion,

For it is certain.

 

Promise me, Promise me,

That our love is no more.

 

Basilisk

My sight is twisted.

Just stone, cold

Marbled greet me.

 

David, my father.

Life for me, grows harder.

Sir Lacoon,

Please shield me

From their doom.

 

Their final agonizing gaze

Sets my heart ablaze.

This gift, this curse

Knows no rest, they chase!

 

Though I regret,

And wish to forget.

Their piercing gaze

Is engraved

Above my grave.

 

I’ll be seeing you tonight

It may come as a surprise,

But I am seeing you tonight.

Leave the door opened.

At least grant me this token.

Let our bodies be confused,

Let our souls be fused.

I’ll be seeing you tonight.

 

Shadow

I’ve grown tired

Of my own life.

Even my own shadow

Is repugnant to me.

 

This thing, this curse

Craws behind me!

How I envy it.

 

I step on it,

And it does not flinch.

I spit on it,

And it does not hiss.

 

Nay, it never quivers.

It never shivers.

It is my only forever.

 

Nay, even should I die,

If the skin

Be taken, eaten.

If my bones

Where left rotten,

Exposed, still, still…

 

My shadow would remain whole.

Dangling from my old core.

Hiding inside my empty cranium.

 

Buried

15,000 years

Of waiting,

Had made me

Bitter.

 

The earth, my prison!

Steals my reason.

The end of days

Grows on farther.

 

Release me from my prison!

Oh, heavenly father,

Hear my desperate prayer.

 

These 1000 layers

Became my slayers.

This eternal night

This eternal fright.

I cannot rise!

I cannot die!

 

Hear me, from my prison!

Oh! Father answer my prayer.

Take my life, my soul, my prayer!

Wake me from this life, this lair.

 

Scream Fame Muse

Muse, light my fuse.

Let my song loose.

Let this rage

Make me age.

 

Add wrinkles to this face.

In exchange,

In exchange,

Give me flame!

Give me fame!

 

You must choose, Muse!

My life, my soul are yours.

 

Take this life,

Bring me fame.

 

Muse, in exchange

For this tune,

Take me to Fame,

Muse in exchange…

 

In exchange of my fame,

Take my life, my face.

 

Can’t You See?

Can’t you see?

My heart weeps for you.

My darling, it weeps for you.

 

Your callous smile,

Your laugh, your guile

Wounds me… hurts me.

 

I cannot take this pain anymore.

My wings can no longer soar.

 

Can’t you see?

That I am weeping

While you lie sleeping.
