Futility

Randy Nii your accidental phrase "love is a lifeline" brought about this poem.

Futility

Love is a lifeline
Love is a palm sign
Mapping alignments
Between star studded cosmos
Spinning above us
A galactic waxing
And waning
Of incomprehensible design.

Love is a lifeline
Baby show me your soft palms
I will make note of your address
Final destination's sad trace
Maybe you and I
We'll lose each other
It's okay
Nothing in our greedy hands
The archway pre engineered
Your mind only inclines
Stellar axes determine.

Love is a life line
Walk away from divination's
Website
The spin of your fortune
The lamellated cast moon
Will lift you, leap and soar
But you fall cold stardust
Weighed down by saggy
motions.

Love is a lifeline
Fragile rosy etched fine
Elegantly striking out through
plains and valleys and deftly
Turning back at mountains
To destroy your creation
Yoked to
Ephemeral emotions

Love is a lifeline
Taken at the floodgates
Flushfaced by four aces
Whirlpool down the drab drain.
You will fall into a deep place
Murderous poppy fields
Hack at your space
Bring eternal sleep
As days turn darker
Heralding great night

Love ends in perfect alignment
Imperfect destiny
Fulfilled flawless.
This love is just
a faint delicate line
Drunken daisies joining hands
In feeble chains of futile
Conspiracy.
My fallacious malicious
Lifeline.

Dark

Dark

Shadow life
Empty world
Ugly mind
Oh my pretty child.

I gave to you
The gift of life
I was supposed to be
The bringer of light

But the heart
Of a would-be
Best mother
Encounters the poisonous
daily failures
Of being a good wife
And you can be both,
I think it's's easier to be
But being only the one,
Can take the toll
The ugly price
Of disunity.

Loss of peace
Ever watchful unease
In this crowded
Cowed down mind
Where fear holds
Unending lease.

My room is in shadows
And I see sharp slippery shapes
Of inner demons
As they stride my walls
Straddle my mind
My soul possess.

So easy is it
To devalue dismiss
Souls lost and scorned
Never finding a niche.

This horrific cold darkness
This loathsome lost night
Etched in my being
But I still weep and fight.

And my eyes always glisten dark
With the hope I can teach
Hold tight on to belief.
That you'll find your highest altitude
and if you can't you'll still be good
My darling it will be alright.

There's no where to go
My child
So always
Towards the light.

Unfinished

I haven't succeeded
I haven't bled
Bruised black and blue
But I always fled
The consequences
I have a need
An impossible greed
An impotent desire
To succeed.

I haven't been me
I haven't lived me
I haven't listened
To my innermost me.

And you can't dream
the beauty it said
How it begged to be bled
The happiness it promised
if only,
I hadn't,
I hadn't fled.

Unacknowledged

Unacknowledged

Sultry night
Simpering stars
Wicked cool
The faint night air
Under the blankets
Turn and toss
Snow White moon
Sahara loss.

Ancient bat
Wing black night
Treacherous holes
Oozing spite

At the poles of Gaia
Earth inclines
To make belief valley
Of sunny climes

Pellucid dawn
Mythic skies
Chiffon skeins
Of blood veined  light

Out and away
Anno dominus day
Deadbook Time
Turn Life's page.

For what you pray
The wise Sufis say
is ethereal
It will not
Stay.

l, heart shaped dot
Nanosecond's pause
With my wealth of feelings
That would blot
A cosmos. 

Leave me alone
Adam's fragile bone
Of me no mending
Cast into stone.

Sweat  trickling into tears
Tears trembling in fear
My role defined
Each act unclear
The mise en scene
Makes them
Boo and jeer

And the God of Goodness
Who created all,
Still pretends and
Turns a deaf ear.

I'm loving it

Slogan challenge Mcdonald
/ Rina Does this revised edition work? :)
Lol. The asides aren't going, (devil in the details and all that!) but I did incorporate product in first verse.

I'm loving it

I'm loving it this piping hot
Hamburger
So foreign  and juicy,
Bland and crusty
On my Indian tongue
(Can only recall how with fire and spices
my days had once begun!)
Golden bouquet of French fries
(Your conquistador lies
Ruminations of your last conquest
Chewing upon
The breakage of old ties)
Feelings of supreme satiety
A double mac and I'm just ready to die
Happy meals plus a new toy l can pick
It's a wrap and I almost cry.

I'm loving it
I've broken free of you
Torn through shackles 
Of impossible imposition.
Seen the fake
Gilded cage offers no protection.
Ostentatious it is
Mere limbo
Of undisclosed unsure
Location
I'm loving it my dreams are  freedom
And the fairy tale happily ever after
I now no longer need
I have come to terms with
My greed.

I'm loving it and living it
Every moment is mine
Now that I am on my own
I own my life I define
And so the story goes.
I'm loving it that I'm
Loving it. ;)

Forgive Me

You couldn't hurt me if you tried
For how could I love you when you lied
Love is love it cannot die
So I don't need to know
Every how and Why.

Love is love and you can't fake it
If it's not in your heart
Then you can't make it
I could've loved you till I died
But now I'm cleansed by the tears
I cried
Absolved of my sin of wanting
Too much
Love isn't charity,
It's given in search
Of an answering touch.

But should your love slowly wane or die
My love in my silence is still alive
Nor do I need or want return
And I am rich today, in love alone
You couldn't touch me, if you wanted to.
My love forgive me
I have risen
Above my need for you.

Gasolina

Written from a man's perspective. 
Wonder if any of it rings a bell.

Gasolina

Surreal stars malicious heavens align
Your raw torrid beauty undermines
Puerile pitch dark viscosity
Feline gasoline intensity
Your black explosive waterfall
Locks just keep tumbling
Lending vivacious ambience
Sleep slaughtered by your
dominance

Your curvaceous mouth a
Moist ruby stain
Vicious tantalizing
Smile delicious quintessence,
shooting  silent honeyed darts
your ravenous greed devours
My heart.

Woman of Mordor's furnace stay
The stars dance tarot but they
Still won't say
Are you anyone's lot to hold?
Golden sinewed temptress jewel eyed
Siren bold?

Gasolina linger on
to reveal
A woman are you?
Or Shimmery she devil?

Our foul fumes of passion intensify
Your rouge colors me crimson
And off the charts I fly
Temperature soaring
Towards burnout but for now
I'm so high I can't go out.

Naked dead white copse of stars
Glimmering of evil
Sparks set in tar
Flashing vile skeletal grins
While I burn alive
Drenched in gasoline.

Your hips deep your wicked eyes  magnetic
Your sooty eyes incandescent
lit up bonfires after a hungry lent
Your ebony mane, your limbs glacial smooth
Your chiseled cheeks
Your nude scarlet scary lips
Kiss me, my heart is in a flip
I'm bone dry tinder
Yet I could almost weep

Gasolina melt me sizzling into your noxious syrupy lies
I am guzzling in
your dazzling beauty  and it carries a price

My eyes aching skin shiny flaking
You're high octane
And I'm soaking fuelling up on you
Through veins that are breaking
And my engine is revved uo
Beyond endurance

I can't take in your sight
You've blowtorched my vision with
Raking insolence
What graceful indolence

My singed lashes lowering
Advise caution
Sensing a sly potent malevolence.

You want me aflame
To carry me like a torch
To toss into the oceans

La Gasolina glistens in sinuous sinister move
Twin sirocco eyes searching seeking rove

Enticing glare
Pinned by a duet of sidereal flares
I'm burnt., I'm burnt...
To brittle cinders
Pulled into you so tight and tense
Hypnotic Hideous Houri
Coiled into your
funicular stare.
