The World Burns!

I was going to something else but after today’s terrorist attacks my heart ached and cried, fuelling the flames of hell tormenting my posture and beliefs, feeling a hatred take a hold of my sanity. And why, for what does innocents have to die. A murderous intend a burning sin!

The World Burns!

In the grey passing clouds
emanated from a ball of fire
filled with cries of agony
pain and death devouring.
moves forth rippling the air
washing over innocents.

Dusts rains down over
hanging heads, blackening
slouched shoulders.
Remembering ancient prayers
echoing silently across lips
with a tastes of dried iron.

Slurry rivers devour
grief and anger
mixed tears and blood
stir a wrecking typhoon
of tempestuous emotions
ripping ferocious at the heart
and inflame its fallen owner.

My soul aches
my body trembles
forced on grated knees
with the cut in humanity
our world sinks into hell
in which we strengthen
our resolve burning in sin.

Abandoned Truth!

Just a quick poem I wrote when looking in a mirror. Seeing all those memories of who I am and was and the truth hiding inside the man in front of me.

Abandoned Truth!

Truth concealed

by lies produced.

In our moments

of sorrow and pain.

Deceiving intended

for those around us.

Showing an image

we pretend to be.

What is hidden

behind written,

spoken words.

Dominating by

empowering the deeds.

satisfying our ignorance

and remorseful selfishness.

Rotten we hide

under false light

Excusing pessimism

over accepting truth.

We abandon veracity

With mocking benevolence!

Unrecognised glares

from mirrored ego!

Thought of the day! December 2, 2014

It is a thought I do try to live by every day.

Anger and hatred are life consuming.

Stop being angry even if it is the truth you cannot handle or for past mistakes. It isn’t just your own life you are destroying.

 

Anger!

Anger

Taken away in darkest times
hope became a fear
running in frustration
the mind in chaos
and at war
from the past
a wind so cold
like razors tearing through
shredding futures
pushing dreams
with rage away
devastating thoughts
run amok
in my head like
twisting tornado
hatred, vengeance
forgotten times revisit
I hear the one
that turned me round
never was forgotten
becoming one
I never wanted
again to be.

I once used to be an angry person and pretty much not care about others. Thanks to one lady I changed and swore never to be like that again. This is what I felt then and last month I went AWOL.

Demon Child!

We all have our darker days and wish upon something evil. It is those days that poetry like this is born. From the deepest darkest of desires you arise to be a different person.

Demon Child

From dark abyss
I have risen
unlike the phoenix
I am cloaked in ash

The darkness in me
with a heart tired and cold

From the depths
I come crawling
not a mere human
I am succumbed to sin

Blood in my veins
poison me into insanity

From the shadows
I walk the line
Between two worlds
I am graving death’s blessing

Endless nothing seen
Eyes stare blinded on loss

Into the burning fires
I fade back into the soils
Purged from memories
My soul is reborn from ash.

I am the Demon child
Feeding on blackened hearts

This is just a story and maybe I should have stayed away from the addictive substances. It is a part of me as I sometimes walked a darkened path now sharing it here with you.

Leave a thought, leave me a comment. Just keep on smiling.
