Poem #15I wake up, drenched in cold sweat
By KeiiI wake up, drenched in cold sweat.
From a horrible nightmare,
melancholic and despondent.
Why am I, inflicted with this pain.
Pangs of remorse, repeating.
Like a broken tape, playing.
I reach in, rustling through my drawer.
Through overdue paperwork,
expired coupons and magazines.
What is this, burning sensation?
The warmth of leather, cozying.
The coldness of metal, tingling.
I take out, what seems to be a revolver.
Locked and loaded,
awaiting to claim it's next prey.
When was it, that I acquired this?
Might in my hands, empowering.
Freedom to wield, tempting.
I walk around, randomly releasing bolts.
Into innocent bystanders,
a momentary span of enjoyment.
Who am I? Unable to control myself.
Unbearable suffering, consuming.
A sudden surge of pain, reacting.
I fall asleep, oblivious to my surroudings.
Too late to realise,
how many lives I cruelly took.
Where am I? Descending into darkness.
Feels like eternity, relaxing.
I found my solace, comforting.
Poem #11Serpent in Disgust
By tarethe smell of
freshly steamed buns
was too alluring
a bite into it
my stomach turned
my taste buds protest
in an uproar
what lousy
meat bun is this
tasting like cardboard?
i must rinse my mouth
to rid of its foulness
the smell of fresh mint
fills my toothbrush
and mouth
the television in the room
is broadcasting
about a certain toothpaste
i stared at the tube
and vomited
flopped onto the bed
stared at the ceiling
a few fine cracks
stared back at me
then a few dust of cement fell
onto my started face
as the cracks enlarged
and started to crumble
i ran out of the room
and the hotel
the awakening dragon
turns out to be
a serpent
in disgust.
