I Curse the Day I Was Born

She was born with open hands, offering kindness even when no one asked for it.

Chic boutique hôtels
Champagne for breakfast
Expensive restaurants
Exclusive shops

All’s well in the rich world
No worries ahead
It’s a different story
For the other half

A tale of strife and hardship
Ignored by a world
Busy partying
On the edge of an abyss

My contribution this week has stumbled out of my brain pre-rhymed.

Looking forward to reading your impish poetry later.

NETHERSENT

half past four, I need to roar
beyond shadowy, elusive domes
hands grasping ancient wing-like tomes
kissed you twice then let you go
one can't entice a soul who sews
threading their fate to own, not change
dreams turning gates twisted, deranged

small hours, yet lost hope revealed
unbound it settled — promised deals
where heads keep turning they arose
from nettles wild lust fueled this
burning desire matching gaze like
embers, lurking inside since late
September

a wish, a whisper and some signs
glittering stars seemed to align
when treachery reached peaks
of sorrow, nobody owed me
my tomorrow, yet creature comfort
sought and found — writ(h)ing
in darkness lacking sight or sound
approaching dawn winds kissed
and went — bewildered feelings
nethersent

Graffiti, one is reading:
Don't be cool

My body no longer moves against time.
Time itself chooses to slow for me.

Tubuhku tidak lagi berkejaran dengan waktu.
Waktulah yang melambat untukku.

- Noturno -

Eu nasci entre os céus e o inferno
de uma argamassa que alguém moldou...
sou filho de sonhos,
dum amor eterno,
sou anjo e demónio
que esse alguém criou.
Nem mulher ou homem,
apenas pensamento
e produto dum momento!

"The heart is the window to all things. It sees, feels, breathes, and captures in real physiological and psychological results, the world as we experience it. So really in the end, following your heart is the key that unlocks the truth of the world."

men poisoning
trees in the city
arboreal agony
like cutting out
lung and heart
heinous acts
demanding
retribution

roaring fury
lapping behind
veils of the void
find them
bind them
twist their names
torch their games
make them pay
in many ways
