UPHEAVAL OF FLOWERETS

Five hundreds years ago, the world divided itself to wasteland hills and fertile land due to chaos widely known as ‘Total Annihilation’. A chaos that wiped off millions upon millions of species called, human , which changed the whole history of life. The world undergone drastic change since the division which both sides are now overtaken by another species that born to wipe off humanity itself , nature monster , as humans have gone extinct two hundred years ago. The world of nature monsters which united under a rule of an Emperor or Empress that posesses the 'Highest Throne' sit then derives into Kings/Queens to counties which are measured by their strength. Strength first, wealth comes second. The royal positions are determined by strength which everyone has to fight for and it isn't illegal to kill your opponent as long as you buried the body in the nearest mountain. For the 'Highest Throne' however, it is obligated to kill the opponent as prove for being the strongest of all. The royal positions are dripping with invisible blood different to the life of commoners which is a lot more peaceful unless tyrant took over. An unfortunate event of tyranny years did happen exactly 7 years ago prior to the current ruling Emperor who is widely known as kind and rational. However, the aftermath of such awful event also has given birth to heinous criminals and the most feared one is, Sarasyu.
Sarasyu, hated by many admired by some, is believed to be a cannibalistic female monster who soars the sky and rushes through bushes to prey on anyone. Rumour has it that she lured men with her devil charm into the 'Forbidden Forest' before preying on them since witnesses described her as a pretty woman in black with a beautiful long jet black hair and blazing red eyes that will consume you like fire. She is believed to kill & loot, feared by all for her overwhelming power said to rival the Emperor himself. Nicknamed 'Sarasyu' for the sound she made whenever she appears every midnight. The sound of danger that made everyone evacuate in panic, fearing for their life to end under her death charm. She is also known as the ‘Queen of Bandits’ and ‘Midnight Tarantula’ amongst the commoners for all the crimes she has committed. In contrary to people who admire her who consisted of corrupted royals & criminals. Those corrupted kings are mostly amongst the richest who dreamed of marrying her for getting the Emperor throne while the criminals admired her stealing & cannibalism practice for power boost. Those who practiced cannibalism are immediately sent to death
ordered by the Emperor for murder charge.
Even to this day, 7 years after the birth of the vicious evil monster, she is still hunted for her
head to be turned into promised gold.

2021-12-11 07:49:28 Trapped- Part 1

The crowd screamed. An uproar rose as though coming from thousands of human frying in hot oils in the dark pitches of hell.

Behind the stage Lisa took a few deep breaths. Her knees shaking from the nervousness, her bladder making her take the road to washroom one too many times. The SoFi stadium in Inglewood was huge and it was filled to the max. Lisa took one final breath, put her earpiece in it's place and waited under the stage. She will appear on stage after the opening act was finished. Her mind was entering into a state of maximum concentration, nothing could go wrong today. Little did she know that this was her last performance ever.

Her crew queued her, the lift took her on the stage. She was the main act, the uproar from crowd almost brought her to tears, everyone cheered and called out her name. She was living her dream. It didn't take long however for this dream to turn into a nightmare.

Halfway through her performance she approached the edge of the stage to get closer to her fans. Her fans pressed hard to get just one touch of her glimmering skin. She walked across, giving her fans a sweeping touch of her hands. It was going smoothly, her hand floated seemlesly over the wave of infinite fingers, unless someone grabbed her hand making her halt her surfing. Being as professional as she was, she continued singing while simultaneously trying to get rid of the hold. When she failed to do it for a few seconds she looked back and froze. The music and back track kept running but she was no longer aware of her surroundings.

The walls around her seemed to close, although there were none to begin with. She found herself teleported in a dimly lit small room. The air smelled dank from being caught in for a long time. It was a nauseating mix of smell of canned food, exotic perfumes, unwashed clothes and bedding. In the background the soft music played "locked in your love" it was called.

Lisa wrote and sang it. It was a smash hit and soon it climbed to the top of the charts. Lisa remembered how happy she was when she heard about the song's success. She cried tears of joy and did her happy uncaring dance. Anyone who heard it could not help but feel absolutely mesmerized, a review said back then.

However, Lisa wasn't mesmerized now. She was sick to stomach of this song that was playing on a loop for days. The voice came from the four speakers that were in the four corners of the room. Lisa tried to reach them often but she was always stopped by the chain in her leg. Her left leg was chained to one leg of the bed. The chain was long enough to let her move about in the room but not long enough to let her reach the door of speakers. All she could do was scream at the walls for deliverance, but the walls filled with her own smiling photos screamed back at her.

in-out from-under
the deep dark
that i can't alter,
bright colors of anger
come out to yell.

i am the space within
two lengths of gossips
and dark humor,

the small distance
between two fingers
that yearn to die from
each other's charge.

i hold burdens of grudges
that appear to soar in grins
but sag in attitudes like
null uncontrollable waters.

i'm that confined space
aligned in nothing, but torqued
so tight my future remains
bolted in numb emotions.

i'm confined in unbreathable
dark spaces of anger,
where vain pursuits of struggle
taste as silent as death.

2021-11-29 08:24:04 Its rainy ,im wet all over
Will my mind be sober
Still engulfed in darkness
Water in my inner black socks
And my black jacket too cold
Waiting for sunshine to rise
So that i can bask till dusk
And be dry imperfection


Thats how i was wetted with love
When mid summer recuperated
Kisses, hugs made me shiver
But the warmth enclosed me tightly
Had to be patient for rain to seize
For my dry heart to persist
For when you left me,
Dryness took charge of me
And thats when i realized
Im still wet all over
And your love was over.

2021-11-26 10:23:50 How to not hold on to the belongings
Whilst you bathe in the agony and I am out there revolting

We see the stars with tears in our eyes and we know there's no dream left
But we do still be hopelessly waiting for the hope in disguise

There's so much patience in us but we no more could put up with the dread in our minds
Halfway through the day we yet keep awaiting for the nights

We have gotten nowhere but look how far have come our lives
From finding the purpose of our souls
to now laying down helplessly with inconsequential smiles

Only you and I know how to convey the inconveniency of the bothersome hearts with APHASIA
Expressing themselves with insufficient words and futile rhymes

2021-11-25 21:46:47 Broken chest

The familair burning sensation
Struggling she falls
Her gasps for life
The crushing weights resting on her chest

Relief is out of reach
Deafening, her silent screams
Harder she fights
Vaster the pain spreads
Non existant, the help she needs

Trapped beneath it all
A never ending loop
Running, the cycle of words
Maddening, the repetitive thoughts

Cracking sounds wave around
No longer she moves
Eyes shut
They are in, the crushing weights

Broken, her chest
Vacant, her eyes
Lifeless, her soul

2021-11-25 09:46:42 Beyond the shores of thought and reason,
The seas of emotion suddenly swell
Tempest clouds roar without season,
Growing the gloom with every decibel

I shrink with grief and crouch in despair,
Fighting tears with each rasping breath
What would you say if you were here,
If you could forsake the veil of death

How do I know if you are in a better place,
That there you no longer feel any pain,
That you watch over us from across the space,
That you have found your place in God's domain

Did the old familiar voices of wise ancestors
Welcome you back with warmth and love?
Beyond the bondage of all wordly matters
Have you found your freedom in heavens above?

Memories, they meet me in silence only to remind
Time, the eater of worlds now consumes my peace
Love, what you took along and what you left behind,
Now holds us together and comforts like a breeze

Life will go on with this burden to bear,
My heart will heal but will it be the same?
I harbor happy memories of all that we shared,
Your words in my thoughts and pictures in frames

All the legends and tales of the other side,
Oh, how I wish now for them to be true!
I pray and surmise what I once denied,
For someday again I will get to see you

In a place somewhere that is off the map
Where I can choose to be a child once more,
Feeling cheerful and safe, sitting on your lap
Innocent and happy, contented forevermore

the unbridled love of child
snuffed without a care
robbed from the cradle of my lost heart
on the cusps of my awakening
to a world that had rules
for the weak and the broken
to keep them in line
and out of sight
lest to remind the strong of their slips
the mistakes they gloss over with smiles
and all the sweet things i am denied
in a world indifferent to all that happens
i am left to fend for myself
defend again things that only i know off
things that even my sire knows not off
forced to fight monstrosities veiled in the light of day
dancing to my screams as i lose
battle after battle to them
and each time stripped of a little more of my being
till i am nothing
till i become a shell
a veil for them to wear in the daylight
to taunt and deceive all who think them defeated
lost on the ancient battlefields sown with their blood
and covered with the blossom of false victories
the very place to be watered again
with the blood of the strong
in the shadows of even stronger ones
till the cycle begins anew in perpetuity
for always and forever Open / Comment
