From desolation,
I have succumbed to the shallowest
Of human desires;
Of seeking company through carnal pleasures.
But I sank deeper in solitude
As he wrapped his arms around me
With malevolence,
Touched my body and gave me shame,
Kissed my lips and taught me
Deception.
What I felt was angst of reality.
Forsaken, confused and misused,
T'was better
To have lived in desolation
And remained in the darkness of my realms.

As I watch the sun set
There's a rush that soothes me
As darkness overpowers the light and
Takes me into his embrace.
There, I'm hidden from the world
But I am not alone.
There my love awaits.
For tonight, I can just write the saddest lines.

I close my eyes,
And let the cold wind take me away
Far beyond ---
In a place where darkness loves me
As much as I love him;
In a place where he needs me
As much as I need him to appease the lust
That consumes my flesh
In a place where there are no expectations,
No deceptions and no pain.
There, he'd cradle me in his arms
And be put to sleep
So that tomorrow,
I can find my strength to exist.

It's a masquerade.
But loneliness drains me everyday
And if not be,
Tonight, I can just write the saddest lines.


UNTITLED
Mich Moraga

I may wander alone
In the pit of darkness
But I shall never despair.
For that's the only place
Where I can find my peace.

There, I can take off my mask
And undress my soul…
This is when I am most beautiful
For even darkness
Covets me...

But no one else could see.
