venturing through myriad wonders and wilderness

just a poet and his poems

[lustriakeimark]

[lustriakeimark]

are we the same?

drunk at night

lost among thoughts

filled with sorrows of life?

on the day you call

and the day i walk

what do we yearn?

is it the taste of lust?

for i am confused

when you kissed me

and i kissed back?

am i drunk?

to see lust as love

...

[lustriakeimark]

how do you keep on living?

when you lose a precious part of yourself

when the flowers you deeply kept

withered—

and gone along the wind

when your garden

was left with nothing

but a stream from flowing tears

will you be able to breath?

with just a heart's broken piece

...

[lustriakeimark]

it was cold

and heavy

as the wooden boat

sinking, drowning

to the sea of maelstrom

where it all ends—

as the two souls

dead and drifting,

consumed—

by the coldness of the depth

away to the unknown,

away to a distant parting

...

[lustriakeimark]

why is there a night?

to a world brimmed with lies

a comedic stage of masks

where people just play and dance

aren't you all tired—

to this stupid masquerade of life?

to hear the rhythm of drear,

melody of a silence

unveiling the cries and wails

of a heart gone cold, frozen

to the words of deceit

and the flowing of tears

why is there even a need of night?

on this reality that revels on light

it's a shame to see the life

bare and naked—

a glistening truth, underneath the dark

...

[lustriakeimark]

rain, rain, rain

do i even want you to go away?

when you show me

how i am not alone in tears

as you play

a song that silence my fears

louder than the ache

of the heart that's been break

t'was a melody to the self

as you whisper

with relief

the calming breeze

along with the warmth of your caress

as you reach to my depths

and lay my head

to the slumber and peace

of good old dreams

...

[lustriakeimark]

I've met you in the entropy of my life

as a lost soul tarrying the night

Amidst the wilderness of dreams and desires

I was once blind

Oblivion to the warmth of fire

Until I witnessed your light

Like a golden sun of the woods

You were a sight to behold

For you are blazing conflagration

Benign to the soul

Yet to flesh, a scorching intoxication

For you consume

just as the fire devours

Your kisses are embers

and your grip, both wild and gentle

You are temptation itself

Draining my essence,

You made me out of breathe

Until I fell—

Along with tears and the wail

And the hurts and ache

I let myself descend

To a bottomless pit

of forGodknowswhereandwhen

...

[lustriakeimark]

I've met you in chaos

in my life of mess

of what i hope was a nebula of explosion

was just a supernova of pure destruction

no chance for a star nor galaxy to be born

for i was death myself

a clump of havoc

on its way to become a devouring black hole

The greatest denouement of all

...

[lustriakeimark]

I've met you at the entropy of my life

At the night when the stars concealed its light

And the world seems hopeless and futile

To breathe and smile

And to have a heart—

Overwhelmed, in thirst and lust

Of something, someone

unknown and far

Yet I walked

And will keep walking

To the glimpse of hope

Wishing for a nebulae to be born

Within the two lost souls

Of interstellar collision

And to be one mass of accretion

Amidst the night darkness of the cosmos

For it is both my yearning and wish

For us to be a star and a galaxy

Making its way

As expanding universe

Towards the life of infinity

Consistently on bliss

So at this point

Please do kiss me

Underneath the law of gravity

We will make a star out of love and Felicity

...

[lustriakeimark]

i wanna go far hence and disappear

in a place where the ingress lies deep within

locked by the scarlet wine and flesh

with the key of a silver dagger pierce

to the heart that creaks silence

as the tears and eyes slumber to death

...

[lustriakeimark]

we are all a mess

lost, astray

fallen beings

to a cruel world

with wings

gone, burned

by fire of hopes

of love and deceit

we are all a mess

yearning for company

we are pain ourselves

inflicting the world with tears

we hurt and are hurt

a tragedy of love

beautiful to write

yet death to live

...

[lustriakeimark]

dark hues

[lustriakeimark]

You are an alcohol of the night

and I yearn for your glass

and kisses and hugs

your nakedness down mine

your lips, your tongue

tasting my shame, my man

your lithe fingers and hands

tracing my skin, burning my mind

you are a monster of the night

and you keep making me wild

like a cub, howling and moaning

I was your slave in the dark

intoxicated by just a sip, of your sin to love

[lustriakeimark]

i was in love with darkness

when night filled the sky

and your lips taste of beer,

drunk—

til we're out of breathe

playing with our tongues

it was a sweet memory

as our hands became wild

tracing every corner

every part—

from your neck,

to your heart

it tasted of wine

intoxicating

of madness, of lust

and then everything went on flame

as you went down to mine

towards the abyss that leads to heaven

how i wish for that night to last

of your burning taste—

of our carnal desires

indeed—

it was a blinding love

[lustriakeimark]

Spider

I hate your mask

the face that begs pity

from what seems a web of your lies

entangling my limbs, draining my essence

you made me desire to die

for i was still a skipper

and you, a monster of dark

with all the creaks and creep

why did i not warn myself to fly

that the sound of silence

and the echo of foreboding night

was a corroding poison gnawing,

flowing through veins

filling the heart—

with sickness, despair, and regrets

and i can't find my way out

unless I'll carve the end myself

towards the ultimate demise

...

[lustriakeimark]

rose

have you ever fell in love with a rose?

its petals of crimson

whispering temptations

dripping with intoxication

down to the throat

gone all the words

as the desire just strongly grows

for i am also—

a lover of rose

it's bud, petals, leaf and thorns

in my heart where my eyes lay on

a rose—

stabbed deeply, magnificently gored

radiant through a blood that pours

...

teacher's day

It was winter When books are piled up Used with notes and inks On the desk of a messy college novice Like walking into an icy cold glacier Tiptoeing from failures and 1 Tripping to zeroes and deadlines, We are on edge of what seems a cliff of ice But college isn't just one season And there is always the Sun— You! ma'ams, sires, and profs The great people, who bring change to the course of life You brighten up our ways, And give warmth to our bitter days On quizzes, exams, and activities You create fun amidst tense and stress Through your smiles, laughs, and words You have kindled the fire within Putting passion into our souls You inspire like the light in our dreams For you are the Sun As you more than deserve to be When you melt the snow and ice, And unveil the river and summer— The beauty of a college journey
