Guilt
It is here. I imagine blood on my hands.
I run...but I can't escape.
It won't stop bothering me. It won't go.
In every corner, in every shade of darkness,
in every silhouette, it strives to catch me.
No use hiding, it has infiltrated my mind.

Sending waves of thoughts and scenes,
it prods and nudges into the deep recess.
It churns out what I've been concealing.
Like a weedkiller, it strikes my conscience.
As it eats away my soul, I am reminded
of everything, including that night.
I shuddered, trying to pick up
the pieces of my sub-conscious.
I put my hands up, yelling a surrender.
Swiftly it washed over and I blacked out.

I felt bonds on my wrists and chains around my mind.
As I looked up to the person who placed them,
guilt was staring back.
Now in this small cell,
guilt has finally let me free.

Didn't it could be so quiet here... xD
Anyway, here goes another update~ :)

Roar of Time
I heard the roar of time,
So majestic and sublime.
Its humming echoes rang far and wide,
And somewhere there was a landslide.

I heard the roar of time,
Beautiful like a bell's chime.
I watched the earth's grime,
Transform into clean rime.

It was filled with rapture,
As it held space in its capture.
Waves of purifying energy,
Pitched with a dazzling melody.

It rid the land of sin and cleansed it,
With magic and calmness so sweet.
As the roar died down like a falling meteor,
It left everyone with pure joy and utter awe.​

Fatal Rhyme
A man had for breakfast, fruits and rye.
He did not know he was soon to die.

An old lady was baking an apple pie.
Her stabbed body was found, God knows why.

A woman went to the barber to have a perm-and-dye,
Then she was found shot because of a blackmailing lie.

If you have an interest for rhyme,
You'll see how murder is so sublime.

Oh wow, another person commented! xD

Though there's not much activity lately, I'll just post another poem anyways. :3

Coin
My origins are a blur.
I can't remember my creator.
All I recalled was the pressure
of being marked by my maker.

Life became a whirl,
as I moved from place to place.
I met too many people to recognize,
for my double-sided face.

As I spin around to and fro,
so does the world.
I'm the mortar of people's lives,
I'm also the cause of war and strife.

Soon I landed with a lucky one, or so I thought.
Imprison in the belly of a monster, left to stagnate.
But hope wasn't lost.
My captive released me back to the world I knew.
I relived my earlier thrills and sate my adrenaline.
However all good things come to an end.

An unexpected fall and I found myself in a strange place.
A world as boring as its mechanisms.
Sounds of falling bombs never seen.
Others like me, their bodies stale with time's rust.
So here I lie waiting. For time's doom,
or a key that would set me free.

Poetry Notes:

Cliche title is cliche. I couldn't think of a better name... Anyways, critique please? :3
