Valedictory Sigh

VALEDICTORY SIGH
O wretched spawns of infamy obtuse in conjured lies
Awry in pride all self-bequeathed excessive cowardice
Preponderance in nothingness fell refuse incarnate
So sweetly stained tomfoolery but still you multiply!
Applied derived of wasted life a cancer with a face
That issued forth black fetid pubes availing mockery
What pallid stench alack in brains, of ornery in jest?
Through deathly grace fell short of plagues a valedictory sigh...

CANTO DIABLO 1: DEMONIC EPIPHANY
Pale and cold this touch of death…
For certain there’d be bleakness!
To waking up bereft of hope…
Such twisted minds alone!
Would you care to scream in vain?
Or smile in infamy?
Come dance the mine-field stage…
Enchanting blackened void!
This blood red aberrance…
Erupts in rapt encore!
For I’m the one dispensing bliss…
My chalice overflowing!
Would you care to say it’s true?
No Gods availing you?
Then rise my friend and kiss my hand…
No strife begets you now!
For you I’d come in raptured grace
Like a savior and his charge!
So will it be and manifest…
Arrive in splendid poise!
You are your GOD your destiny!
This universe be yours!
No feeble dogmas dubious texts!
The truth will set you free!
Of sins and deeds thus what is next?
Mere long expired dross!
All the troubles here and now…
They came from one same source!
So carve this world as you see fit…
You are the Devil’s Horde!
And I will watch in solemn pride…
This Golden Age now comes!

IN MEMORIAM (UNDERTAKER’S LAMENT)
To when 'tis now far derived from the honed
Gunned devised yet so prompt to deliver
Perplexed re-directions, or skein predilections?
Alas what place what haste might time it imposed on the brave
Found chaste yet a waste—much displaced—far from grace?
These too shall pass en route to decay
Blessed decadence foaming post-rapture gazed
In this maze found dazed to delivered—erased!
Betraying from pain as decisions cannot gauge
Feigned weathered and adaged—what renders what candor
Can be found most wanting?

IN MEMORIAM: I WILL KEEP ON GOING
Billion years had came and went
Since that blackened day
When the road I'm travelling on
Crumbled Into darkness...
The color of my life
Fading light comes and dances away
On my dark heart and withering hopes
All that lights up my life are now gone
Passed away, lost and mourned
Now I dwell on the Grave of Smiles
Burning pieces of yesterdays' dreams
And my past keeps on cursing my fate
As I fall, into oblivion!
Billion years had came and went
But still I'm feeling strong
And even if there's no more light
I will keep on going...
I will keep on living!

Laying Down The Wreaths

LAYING DOWN THE WREATHS
Dead!
I've been dead to this world all these while
What has this world got to offer me?
Just a stone for my wreaths
Just a stare for my pleas?
Solace are pleasure
For the one that's once of light
But for one sing I was cast down
Deep into the flames
That he promised me
Me, I'm the damned on
For that one fool I became this
And for one wish I will drag you into hell
Where there's nothing but my pain!
Sometimes I wonder
Whether it's worth it to live my life
Like I wanted
And unlike the way that they wanted it?
It now tears me from within
Conflicting thoughts and lost dreams
And like flowers on the grave
I am rotting for the dead...

Merentap Tirai Senja

MERENTAP TIRAI SENJA
Merentap tirai senja malam berlabuh juga
(Tear the twilight veil, for nightfall comes ashore...)
Tiada apapun yang bisa menahanya
(And no might or will of mankind—stands on its way!)
Walau apapun berubah dengan sekelip mata
(Fate and Providence may change, swiftly as we ponder still)
Tanpa mengira masanya telah tiada
(Forsooth time it favors none—no turning back!)
Biarlah aku menanti jawapanya
(Leave me be as I wait for the answers!)
Sama ada dia sudah mengalah
(Regardless to what ends, no means they’d justify!)
Apapun tidak, tidak ku kesah
(Indifferent I would be—no tears would I cry!)
Biarkan saja, biar terseksa
(Just live and let die, no love lost on Earth!)
Dari belenggu di tirai senja
(As chains celestial—binds birth to death!)
Tanpamu aku tetap begini
(‘Tis who I am with or without you)
Yang membawa jalan sejahtera
(On this dark path to the golden dawn)
Kau dan aku memang berbeza
(Mark my word! We’re Heaven and Earth)
Pangkat dan darjat bukan segala
(No status no wealth to set us up for life)
Hanya satu yang ku pinta
(Just to wish you won’t forget)
Apa yang nyata jangan kau lupa
(The truth—though it hurts—won’t lead you astray!)

Incantations In Tongues

INCANTATIONS IN TONGUES
Dreams, borne of barren grief, still and sure…
Spread no wings, on the dusk of life, gleaning home!
Askance enticed, interred as we breathe, tilled for truths!
So says the mute, seared by blinding tears, emptied hurt…
Can’t fight the pathways to demise…
Lest we’re all gods of ancient times…
So soon to boon but blessed in madness?
Downed from ascension twilight cries?
Twisted faith gone round the bends…
What could we hope from daylight smile?
To dine in darkness perfect light…
How could salvation cleanse the slime?
Yes for this silenced minstrel he’d sing of these…
Though no one bothers to take heed!
Thus this brazen soul he’d keep on preaching…
Black wisdom glazed in bleak sarcasm!
And through it all, what could one so learned, fleeting sighs?
A-spread like stars, burned bright brought to fools—then it’s done!
Intransigent, canted spurred by hate, garnered lies?
So here’s the end, hope your lives were good
Fare thee well!
