A Geisha In A Past Life

Drowning in the edge of sorrow Waiting for happiness to be borrowed Pulling the stake off the center Trying to revive the heart from danger A bloodless battle emerges inside As two opposing feelings push each other aside A soundless moan can be heard As one ventured the other dead A war between the heart and the mind Fighting for something that made the heart blind A love, for the mind, worth nothing A love, for the heart, means everything Striking the armor with a gleaming sword Revealing the true feelings in bold The love felt completely revealed Yet the menace of it all is sealed Never better—always have to suffer Entering the forest of doom—fading in gloom Shattering into pieces--- agony never ceases Pain subsides—but scars remain Only stupid hearts to blame.

Haunting thoughts filled my reverie As I entered the inner depths of my soul A lexis of a confunded memory The phantom of darkness reached its goal Locked into the chamber of hatred and vengeance A horrible memory in artificial trance Struggling, clashing, never ceasing Striking, thundering, never ending A season of terror has caught on me Blood rushes through the veins, flooding to be free Horrendous emotions exploding like a bomb When perils of failure made one numb Paralyzing every muscle in the body Uttering one useless, stealing one’s dignity Forging one’s name in the Book of Inferno Living a soul mourning in Purgatorio A thanatopsis doubtless better than this The image of death could not describe what one can feel Life of failure, life of malice, can a mortal still exist?

The heart stopped beating. It kept still. But then it answered… ‘the pain just made me stronger…’

“Whoa! We are here finally,” Sleigh shouted gleefully as he parked the car. They finally arrived at the river where they will spend the weekends to relax. It is almost time for lunch. “The haven”, as what the locals call it, is a favorite vacation spot especially during summer. The fact that it is free, it is also one of those very few nature reserve spot left. Cane smiled at her boyfriend. “You are like little child, Baby.” Sleigh grinned. “At least one of us has enough excitement to last this weekend.” He looked at the rearview mirror. Their two companions looked so serious that it looked like they are going to do a school project instead of relaxing. Kite heard Sleigh’s comment, but she did not retort back. She is feeling really uncomfortable since the beginning of this trip. She is seated beside Cheat, of all people, at the back of Sleigh’s van. The two of them are seated at the opposite sides of the van as if there is a big ravine between them. While Sleigh and Cane were singing, ...
