Cné

Blood red lips conceal the fangs,
for love or lust, the hunger pangs,
one soft incision, one moment of bliss,
grow limp to the lure of the vampire kiss

Stalk the night in search of prey,
Live in shadow, Sleep by day,
Clothe the world in drapes of dark,
Dead lips scream - enduring; hark!

For love is lost where life is too,
Together apart, romance askew,
A cold embrace, a withered heart,
A resentful love, one cannot impart

Trapped in a corpse, roaming the Earth,
Devoid of humanity, Robbed of all mirth,
To be immortal means to never be free,
Of the torment of life, never rested will be.

Inspired by Rob Kistner’s 10 days of Halloween series!

A Reverse Poem

A Reverse Poem

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

which side of the mirror am i on?

which side of the mirror am i on?

In the mirror i find myself how did i come to be?
since when did my reflection
take over what makes me.

Who is this crude impostor who uses my eyes to see,
who is this kindred spirit that screams inside of she.

I turn myself from the mirror from her who's trapped within,
but find a wall in front of me and reflected a wicked grin.

just a late night fantasy, I hope everyone is enjoying spooktober x

A Simillacrum

An Odd Consolation| 4. Hot Press

I raise the bone up to my two juicy lips
and I purse.
Here comes the carcinogen, the miasmic smoke,
the old ghost.

But, my
love,
it's not like it
was.

My love,
it's
not like it was.

I pick into the basalt black, like a boss.
I exhale,
mining verses from my vernacular
like
poisonous
metal.

But, my
love,
it's not like it
was.

It's nothing like it was,
and I'm perfectly fine.

In a manner of speaking.

The Metallic Garden

The Metallic Garden

When I first passed the gates
into the metallic garden
stamping out seeds
                      for the junkyard
with its infinite cardiac output

I gazed upon the eyes of the creatures
that inhabited this oily soil
                            of steel and chemicals
all I saw was a cry for help
to escape
          to be away
                just one day
they cry, just one day

I got caught in the claws
and it scratched
                       and scratched
the wounds heal but the scars stay

I have become a trapped animal
                                     with eyes of dismay

There's little chance of escape
I can dream
           I can pray
one day, I echo
               one day

Now I am just taxidermy
for this godforsaken industry
and they call this
quality.

To float

Oct 2018 emnabee

Catalina

To float

Oceans of swaying arms
Holding skateboards or coffee

Remember, passerby’s eyes
Are not the same as horizons.
I move
Like I swim
That is to say
I know how to still my body
Long enough to float.

Gospel screaming to me
Through broken headphones,
Foghorn booms
“I’ll die when I’m mother ******* ready”
“I’ll die when I’m mother ******* ready”

Remember, upturned chin,
Never to stop.
When you find
Sunken feathers that cling to pavement
In unforgiving embrace,
You will build an alter,
And continue

To move
With two feet
And no grace

Our Story

Our Story

Walking down the aisle
You asked me
The reason I love you
It was very simple
But hard to understand
So here’s why I love you

The first day I saw you
Was the day I felt that I’m alive
The first time I saw you smiling
Was the time I felt my heart is smiling
The first time you looked at me
Was the first moment I felt butterflies
And I really wanted to say
Thank you for making me feel alive

Days turned to months
Months turned to years
And I’m still looking at you
Like the first time I saw you
That pink lips you always used to bite
The long curly hair that waved me off
I still remember
How I used to fell for you everyday

And now you’re mine and
I’m proud to say that
I want to scream to the world
Saying how much I love you
To say how I felt when you hug me every time
To say how cute you were when you were crying
To say how stubborn you were when you’re with me
And I loved the way you were
But I couldn’t say anything
As the seasons kept changing

One day I’ll write a story about our love
Where we planned our future
with so much effort
With so much love
But you left everything at the end
Even though you didn’t like sad endings
But I do understand you baby more than myself
Because I knew
Situations brake the relationships

I know you were with me in every situation
But what’s meant to be will always happen at the end
And we weren’t meant for each other
Because I saw you smiling with him
But the thing he couldn’t understood was
The worsen up pain behind your smile
Where I understood even before you smile

And this is why I love you baby
Because I saw the love from your eyes
Then you whispered
“I love you higher than the sky”
And my heart skipped a beat
Remembering how I used to tell that to you everyday

That was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard in my life
Shattered dreams where it left painful memories
Now I’m faraway
All alone but you’re by my side
Because I carried all the memories we had
Keeping them all in my heart
Happily

Broken yet happy in his memories
