Deranged Bride

In a dark, secluded, dilapidated room
A deranged bride was left by her groom
With shackles clasped in both her hands
Shards are strewn where she stands.

She laughs, screams, and then bursts into a wail
As blood oozes slowly on her veil.
With gritted teeth, she cries out in pain.
caused by the bruises from her chain.

Sweat messes up her once perfect tress
Clots stain her white wedding dress.
She tries to pluck each cluttered red
And gently clustered it on that filthy bed.

On a witching hour, when the moon shines bright
Still, in her place shines no light.
It's dark, like a pit where light has shun
In front of her rises a headless nun.

She screams at what she sees.
And feels the trembling of her knees
After a few moments, she feels beguiled.
Then she smiles and cackles like a child.

Lonely Sunset

I slowly walk down the strand
I gaze at how each wave hits the slumbered sand
It seems as furious as what I've been
My heart, in utmost pain, seems pressed and pinned.

Every step I take leaves a transient trace
My footprints in waves are swiftly effaced.
A sign of my misery and hapless gain
I seem to be clasped in life's choking chains.

My detestation grows deeper and deeper
My dreams are starting to shatter
I am trapped amidst a trenchant snare
These life trials I can no longer fare.

I'd rather be blind; this I'd rather long
Or lost my hearing to a griefful song.
I will no longer feel the utmost ruth
And rather be deft to a painful truth.

The strength that I needed is beyond my reach
A life of fortune? An eternal beseech
Where will this torrent drift me by?
Will I still suffer until the day I die?

On this thorny path, will I forever trod?
In life's misfortune, will I continuously plod?
Beneath these forlorn, forsaken skies
Does hope await? What future lies?

Ako'y naglalakad sa baybaying dagat
Minamasdan ang mga along nagkalat
Tila ba ay galit tulad ng aking sinapit
Damdaming habag, mistulang naiipit.

Bawat yapak ko'y nag-iwan ng bakas
Bakas na animo'y tuluyang nagsilayas
Katulad ng paghihirap at pag-asang nawala
Ang buhay ko'y tila niyapos ng tanikala.

Ang aking sinusuklam ay lalong namayani
Ang aking minimithi ay mistulang nahawi
Ako'y nalugmok sa mapait na tadhana
Itong mga pagsubok ay di ko na makaya.

Ako sana'y maging bulag nalang - ang aking daing
O kaya'y maging bingi - mahirap man na hiling
Nang ang paghihirap ay di ko na masaksihan
Nang maging bingi nalang sa masakit na katotohanan.

Ang lakas na ninanais ay 'di ko mahagilap
Ang maginhawang buhay, sakin ay mailap
Hanggang saan kaya ako tatangayin
Ng masidhing buhay na aking naangkin.

Sa matinik na landas nalang ba ako manatili?
Hatid ba ay kamalasan hanggang sa huli?
Sa silong nitong mapanglaw na langit
May pag asa pa kaya akong makakamit?

Satan Triumphs
Image from: DesktopNexus.com



In a dark chambered asylum
Devils planned their slay
Haunting Caitiffs' unpleasant night
With nightmares - bringing tremendous fright!

Bones, skeletons and skulls scatter
On the floor are strewn cadavers
Empty coffins dance mid-air
Light flickers - queer faces suddenly appear

Black shadow engulf entirely
The abandoned altar of humanity
Darkness grip the struggling flame
Then to ember - die and leave its frame

Heads are stringed adornment
To foster their only endowment -
Bloods of innocent humans
And putrid souls of unhumane

At night when foxes bay
His advocates stray to slaughter
Those who come across their way -
Satan triumphs on their offered preys
