Royal Gloom by An Marie Kalus

West Coast Eisteddfod Online Poetry Competition 2016

What If you're a tender flight

and I see only ghosts

amongst the night

that cry of cruelty forgotten?

 

What If I am not a treasure

and keep hidden thoughts

written with my secret letters

and my ink that nightmares molds?

 

Your eyes would never see 

the stars upon the sky,

the sky you think belongs to me.

I could never reach so high.


Will you order end of time

and stop my memories of sorrow?

Steal away this life of mine

and praise me in the grievous morrow.

Hearts by An Marie Kalus

West Coast Eisteddfod Online Poetry Competition 2016

It's got you on your knees,

the one you begged for.

Embers.

On embers you decide to walk

and what you care about

is not your burning feet

or how it trembles -

your heart, my heart.

Your heart is dying

in convulsions.

 

Pain is not the same as joy.

Yet we sometimes

put them in the same proportion.

 

You see right through their skin,

 in detail

and my vision's blurred. I'm still.

Ink

without a paper.

In the end, everything is paid

 and seen.

"After all" is what we say.

After all, we both are ashes

and skin is what they'll ever be.
