Tranzend

The lights dimmed, darkening his face (3:05 PM)

He looked an average-Joe totally commonplace

But something in his eyes ~ one couldn’t place

For you simply couldn’t follow his dark gaze

He dragged on shuffling slow

His tatters in the wind did blow

The sorrows ~ that made him grow

Lay deep amongst the falling snow

The city was falling asleep

Bright lights ~ going to sleep

Into the cold night slowly did seep

An eerie sense terror that instills deep

Every breath that passed turned white at will

The shadows moves steadily, in for a kill

When out of the blue did she spill,

Black green eyes ~ another run on the mill

He moved on ~ his mind full of gloom

A cold metal bench did he witness soon

Slowly lay down he, caressed by the moon

In the freezing cold awaiting inevitable doom

As he lay still on the icy bench,

He felt a warmth across him drench

An intruder had arrived unknown to him

Two bright green eyes shined at his side

The wind gave into a gale - louder now

Taking the warmth across the snow

Finally, as it deemed to settle down slow,

The cold returned to complete the show (4:20PM)

IRONYC

Have you ever wondered about things, (9:45 AM)

That made no sense to a normal mind

For the sun does show forbidden sights

Layered in silt and dirt of all kinds

And when the moon doth shine aloud

You stand below caressing the light

While unknown to you, sings a sullen crowd

Cacophonic hymns at a satanic site

You see the drops of dew on a summer day

Smiling ~ happy that you’re on your way

While unseen by you ~ drenched in blood

Have dew drops witnessed a violent flood

You see the boy next door and smile

Bright days of youth ~ a special kind

Fore your breath has passed way, crazy youth turns him senile

It’s like the world is being run by a psychotic sadistic mind

After work, you return home

In your AC car, quiet ~ all alone

Screams of death surround your place

Devoid of truth, onward you race

You get into bed and say your prayers,

An eerie silence thuds – hard in your chest

As sleep calls you toward darker layers

Swallows the night – You and the ignorant REST! (10:00 AM)

Deception

Once upon a time eons ago(11:30 AM)

There was a fair land – pure and true

Blessed lands were they, by a higher force

An aura of peace did it seem to hold

The blue extended from the ends of the world

The green leaves chattered, swaying their souls

Breaths of moist air, coursed all through the lands

Life layered above over an expanse of golden land

Twas’ amongst this land that I once lived

A child with lively, twinkling bright eyes

With this sacred land did I share a bond

A tacit agreement wrapped up in love

The wind – my best friend held all my secrets within

Blue skies with their expanse drank up my soul

Green leaves on the cue were like whispering pals

And then came love, the soft moist golden land

I pranced about with the wind day in and day out

With every breath that I took brightened my face

My skin tingled from soft caresses of the wind

Their jokes left me rolling about – half crazy

But as the days went by the breeze became warm

The leaves drooped down and then grew brown

The sly although blue – now simply and expanse

The warm earth turned dry and cold as life spun

I was shocked, confused and irritated at heart

For I couldn’t see how friends could be thus

Hard did I try to make amends and to realize,

But alas! Was left each night – empty hands beside

Tears drenched me for the sorrow was too great

My friends, my love, my faith and my life betrayed

They moved on with life, and left me far behind,

To lay wretched alone, soiled and embittered by fate

Soon seasons moved through and colors tuned by

And with time dried my tears and pain inside

For a brutal witness was I to life’s deception

A deception by form of friendship and love

Now, as the sun starts a day and shines with his might

The rays leave me unfazed like the rock inside(2:35 PM)

Echoes

They sauntered out taking the noise (2:15 PM)

All the colors fresh and bright beside

And there was I pondering recent past

Drumming to the latent beats last casts

All the song and dance leaving their trace

As they moved faster now, in certain haste

I looked across at the thoughts left behind

Absorbing them taking it deep – into my mind

The screams of ecstasy still did seem

Reluctant to move, to fade away

The corners of the room, it did deem

To bend the moment, and make it stay

Soon the rounds gave into a void patch

The music left only light beats intact

The expanse of space did seem so daft

Twas’ emptiness loud that my mind did catch

The sun went down and in came the breeze

Slowing life’s pace ~ as it came to pass

For ~ a certain gloom did it seem to impose

Leaving me with empty and void echoes…(2:40 PM)

Raisom Detre(Reason to live)



Stark silence envelopes each corner I pass
The echoes chant along - resonant sounds,
Along the path behind and the lights ahead
I see no meaning - no illumine cast


I curse the skies for the stormy seas,
I scream out to the air for winds of peace
Deflated, deranged I introspect days gone by
Only reams of pain did they forecast


I lay back and stared at the black sky,
No stars - no light to show me my path
Why such sorrow and failure drenched my past
Left with no energy at hand to make each day pass


Anger within - was my only source of solace
An uncontrolled flame by only fury led,
For as the orange skies, bear witness to me
I wait quiet, a quest for vengeance within


As moments turn to hours and then to weeks
The sky turns black and thence cold with ease
Me - my voice lost amidst the gale of disease
The disease of hatred that doth breed within


As I stood there, a tingling laugh pierced the air
Hardly audible - more like an echo of a thought,
A shiver ran down my spine - making my mind freeze
But waking me up - now I was rapt with unease

Fore I realize myself, I start running wild,
The cold wind brushes by playing with the song
I trip on a rock tumble and thus twist my leg
Dragging on I limp in search of the voice - The dream

The voice now more clear was so clean and pure
Making my soul flutter, more than I could endure
I crashed down held there by an unknown force
So light, yet strong - the force behind the voice


And soon my breath passes out to a void patch
I feel the fire burn out within my fluttering heart
My quest - my reason to live quenched part by part
I give in to the force, the voice and the warmth


The warmth ? I wonder as my eyes flutter open
Have I not lost the one thing in my life,
My anger, my vengeance my meaning of life ?
As I stand up I find my heart - a candle of peace


I move slowly now all confused at first
But as I slowly move on - I do realize
The sky was still black, cold wind did fly by
But I felt not the cold or the pain by my side


I stared across and found a new shining star
And enlightenment dawned of true Raisom Detre
