A Whispering Enigma

Time

A pocket watch of gold
Clasped tightly to my palm
And though my realm is cold
the ticking keeps me calm

Life, 'tis a shade of blue
amidst smudges of gray
These tones are nothing new
I see them everyday

Time demands fortitude
I obey him and wait
lest I damage his mood
and make me miss my date

These aeons, they go by
'Till my angel brings light
Waiting, in grass I lie
from morning to midnight

Watching for my angel
In anguish, I lay still
And only time will tell
How much longer until...

I'm taken by the hand
and saved from this wasteland
 
Here is a sedoka. A sad one.

Undesired

Crippled heart of woe
of a lass left to perish
on the floor in her own blood

Eyes glazed with sadness
With beauty undesired
she surrenders to darkness
 
Elixir

Oh, calamity
'Tis a harsh venom
Sore upon my soul

Woe, these disasters
Bringing grave illness
and shadows of gloom

The teeth of this life
They drip with poison
The worst kind of all

Sick and somber; somber and sick
What's a mortal to do?

Ode, my antidote
Sweetness on my lips

Dismissing the ache
Treating my sorrows
and soothing my fears

Symptoms that embrace
me in times of need
There's no finer cure

May it last from now
'till the very end
 
Dorky and nerdy, I know. Being the biology fan that I am, this was very fun to write.

Biology Love Poem

We are a covalent bond
From my electron to yours
our element is balanced

You are so tantalizing
You denature my proteins
I will never be the same

My darling, my adenine
Be mine, for I am thymine
And we can be a base pair

As one who's endothermic
I sincerely need your warmth
I cannot live without it

Prophase to metaphase to
anaphase to telophase
to the end, a growth of love

Even if you're a virus
I have plenty cells to spare
Take them, eat them and be well

We go together, my dear
Like strands of nucleotides

With every cardiac
myocyte of my being
I will love you forever
 
Frigid Torment

A slave to a beast so fearsome
Imprisoned by a cage of ice
A winter so captivating
that it chills my own heart

The winds, they are harsh
Mercilessly biting my skin
I hear them howl with laughter
as I tremble, as I grieve

The world is too cold
even for a fiend of frost
like me

Whilst staring at the prison bars
I wonder
Where is my sunshine?

For ages, I await
that warmth which frees me
I wait for it to melt this cage
these shackles
this solitude
and the ice of my heart

Once the doleful winter vanishes
my sunshine will heal me
kiss me and cradle me
'Till I am frozen no more
 
Calefaction

Wonderful calefaction
sparking when we touch

Heart cage upon heart cage
'Tis a harmony of pulses
with a jubilant chorus

In this utopian ambiance
The clock's hands are cursed;
frozen on the number twelve

Sinking in a plethora of bliss
We strive for immortality;
a secret that passion reveals

In this evening so comely
The stars are hypnotic
in the gaze of Andromeda

Discovered, is paramour
Desired, is calefaction

Under no condition
will our devotion fade
 
Blush

Just beyond my spectacles
A pulchritudinous sighting
The tangible form of love
with a smile most sincere

Gazing with veneration
'till love darkens with crimson
There's no vision more charming
'Tis the sweetest of triumphs

And for what daft reasoning
am I deserving of this?
This astonishing presence

Even with frames for my eyes
I have been hopelessly blind
Until love brought me a cure

Now life is so beautiful
 
You've got some very good stuff here! Keep on writing!
 
Brutal Affliction

Cruelly slashed at the throat
so her voice is silent
Hands tacked onto the floor
so she will not escape

The bandages unwrap
The stitches come undone
Who can fathom such pain
that burns right to the soul?

Misery's infectious
as defeat is viral
Fools are left to perish
'till remedy is found

With a speck of hope left
she awaits salvation
 
Defective

So lofty, this roadblock
Symbolizing failure
With my red painted palms
I mark the wall with shame

Laying upon glass shards;
Mementos of myself

I sought out formulas
that would make me perfect
so that he would love me
so I could love myself

Alas, he denies me
I have missed the deadline;
"She is not my daughter
For she's too defected"

Dissolving in my tears
I lay victim to him
His words, his fists, his glares
all breaking my armour

And so I pay a price
for being imperfect

Eternal bleeding wounds
Insecurity, doubt
and decaying beauty
 
Wind Deity

Behold the gentle breezes
that softly whisper my name
As my skin crawls, I am soothed
and my strife just melts away

These wars cause so much aching
'Till the summer air holds me
With it, I feel so weightless
like a twirling autumn leaf

The oceans are worth swimming
The deserts are worth trekking
These battles are worth fighting
For I've my uplifting gusts

Bless the deity of wind
I shall always embrace him
And I shall always serve him
 
My Friend

Our kinship is stellar,
my friend

Sit upon my shoulders
so we may touch the sun
Drops of golden sunshine
are finer when they're shared

The obsidian sky
is glittering with lights
We'll explore the darkness
for a star of your own

Journey with me, my friend
across the vast rainbow
Hand in hand we'll find it
We'll find the very end

We will travel the Earth
and collect its treasures

Together;
The two of us

My friend
 
Different from my usual. Instead of making each line the same amount of syllables, I made each stanza the same amount of syllables.

Archipelago

My utopian archipelago;
A substantive dream
built by memories

Upon sapphire tides
that are combed by tuneful winds
All is peaceful, all is right

'Tis home to my heart,
my soul, my paladin;
Keys to the utopia's balance

Tasked with a mission,
the paladin egresses
No farewell and no endearment

The contingency to fight
slips away in three ticks of the clock
Oh, the lament

Aching, weeping, freezing
I am swallowed by the sea
with my archipelago

As I collect the shards of my heart
the icy grip of sorrows
numbs my poor soul

Living amongst damaged machines
is a listless phantom
defeated by grievance

When strength overcomes malady,
paradise will be restored
by new memories
 
Open Arms

Heed the eerie whispers
and unrelenting screams
in our aphotic world

An effeminate soul:
so cold and so timid
from the wicked visions

She strides with compulsion
desperately wondering,
"Where is sanctuary?"

In an angel's strong arms
she's shielded from danger
None dare to challenge him

As he cradles her form
his eyes warn observers
of what pain he may bring

Her lips caress his arms
with well deserved praises
For she is safe again
 
Reminders

The croons of elegant fowl
The sweet chime of silver bells
An ancient, wise wolf's howl
A hatchling breaking its shell

They are wondrous songs
that remind me of you

Cool droplets upon my skin
Soft pillow beneath my skull
Lovely kisses for my grin
Ticklish flutters of my soul

They are sensational feelings
that remind me of you
 
I Sigh, Enchanted

Spurring thoughts so untamed
and asserting habitation
at the vicinity of my skull;
in memories, in fantasies

A spellbinding essence that
is pure, impeccable, alluring
and exhilarating

My mind becomes
A sinuous serpent;
an erratic paradigm

Suddenly powerless
with a single breath
'Tis ambrosial, this spice

With subliminal messages
comes impish motives
I am a charmed predator
in a snare

While captivating
'tis also subduing

'Tis an air that
cradles my spirit
through times of good
and times of woe
 
Endlessly Ill

Benumbed by a touch
so ill, so grim
As my skin flares
it is grazed;
marked with a symbol
of ailment

Breathless without treatment
Sore with lack of slumber
I profess
I am feeble
And I detest it so

Anger and sorrow
are synthesized
as I perish
I'm victim to this curse

Or perhaps
'tis not unjust?
A girl so imperfect
deserves flawed physique
and inevitable sickness

Alas
 
"Because You Need This"

Endowed with an object
of unique entity
and of meanings so fond

Not a dying flower
Nor animal shaped fluff
'Tis metal in a sheath
with a patterned handle

To attack, to defend,
to harm and to protect
A knife has much intent
But hers carries much more

'Tis an emblem of love;
a thought turned physical

Heart beating against steel
she and the weapon bond

Although a sharp hazard
it is a cherished gift
laced with proud intentions
and incessant promise
 
Embodied Specter

'Twas a girl of ice
made into fragments
'Till a miracle
emerged from her dreams

And now she wonders,
"To whom do I thank
for assembling me?"

As her heart kindles
she is galvanized

No mountain too tall
No ocean too deep
She'll brave the abyss
And she'll touch the stars

'Cause of the specter
from her fantasy
she is elated;
she is immortal

The mark of her kiss
is one of beauty
It shines with white frost
weaved with gratitude

For none other than
the love who saved her
 
A poem for my [second] step-dad, Neil. I owe him a lot for being there for me during these hard times. Last night, he was especially supportive. So it inspired this piece of writing I'll have to transfer to paper, so he can see it. :]

To Neil

Whom descried
my extended longing?

'Twas an amplified yearning
for one who's benign
As a father should be

In dreams begotten
he gifts wisdom,
admires me
and protects me

The words are unfeigned:
"You are beautiful;
you are wonderful"

'Tis corporeal, this dream
In my shadowy existence
he is a guiding light;
a pacifying warmth

My thanks is unending;
My love is eternal
