Electric Fan

Author: zereporthej / Labels:

A crescent emerges.
The heat
Of the night intensifies
And pierces a sleeper’s soul
That slumbers
As metal starts to spin.

Rays of thunder
Wave in copper
Birth
Of wind, of breeze,
Of lullaby.

Time moves in speed
And sand appears
In twins of
Black and white,
Orb and circle.

Impregnation of
Imagination.
Visions of color
Of life, of death
Of smiles, of horror.
Unborn.

Lucidly immobile
Yet the spirit traverses
And the mind at rest
Flowing in a journey
Fate controls.
Until cheese
Sinks in deep ocean.

Yellow lights appear,
Render time in slow motion.
And gust of blades
In a click, fades.
Metallic wind halts
Eternity passes in legless steps

A new day dawns
Yet in vain will be the wait
When the crescent emerges
Once more,
And metal sings a lullaby
In a sleeper’s favored moment
When feathers and cotton
Caress his soul
And loud whispers of wind
Rid his mind
Of pain, of strain.

And embarks
In the same journey
Through ecstasy
As spinning metal
Lulls him deeper into slumber
Where reality is simply,
Unreal.

I Wish, Never

Author: zereporthej /

I wish to have never met you
…to have never felt
your sweet embrace
…to have never tasted
your kiss’ brew
…to have never seen your smile,
it stays
…to have never held
your hand too
…to have never fallen
into your eyes’ gaze

I wish to have never spent
those times with you
…to have never shared
romantic conversations
…to have never gone
to our rendezvous
…to have never glanced
at happiness’ deceptions

I wish to have never heard
those three words
…to have never said
I love you too

I wish time turns
and shift the course of fate
For now I know
it cannot be
If your heart
is still not free

So understand
if I wish for these things
‘Cause your past’s lament
is all I see
And every time you say
his name it stings
I can do nothing
he’s immortal in your memory

I wish I was able to have been
the one in your heart
…to have felt
your love completely
…to have been the one,
from your mind to never part
…to have been the one
you speak of so frequently
…to have been the one
you loved from the start
…to have been the one
simply…

I wish to have never heard
those three words
…to have never said
I love you too
…to have never believed
it’s true

I wish these wishes
would come true
So that to him I’d be able
To give you back
And no longer
will you be blue
I’d still be here
As a friend, in fact
Still loving you…

If that falling star
answers my wish,
with him you’ll be happy
beyond forever,
only then will my heart
be at peace
And for anything again
I would wish, never.

Of Dreams and Sins

Author: zereporthej /

I dream of trembling beneath a piercing rain
As whirls of clouds hover celebrating sins
Of you and me and you and me in pain
Of me to you and you to me.

Dandelion globes come seeking me
With gusts of sympathetic air
To caress a heart so empty
And a mind from an endless stare.

Melancholic sunsets are what I see
They show me how a love can wait
Yet not how I shall be set free
From this world where one and all are baits.

Baits for fortune and making love;
Promises of love and luxury beds
That end up like a dying dove
With feathers white and dripping red.

Meander into dreamy moonlit shores
Where toes sink in sparkling sand
That turns out to be a dream once more
That banishes our sins to a faraway land.
