Oriental Lover
I am an empath which means I can "feel" others emotions and feelings as well as put into words things others would find hard to understand.
David Bowie. China Girl.
Unknown girl
Your words overjoyed me
You’ve seen it through
Trembling in fever
My fingers crossed
Tears turn into diamonds
or why should witches weep
O my saviour show me the way out
Make me your slave
Hold me in your chain
Drink up my blood
O I’ve been too naughty a girl
God help the girl
With all her words of deceit
Every night when sleep evaded me
Was to weave the clumsy lies
Oh do pure hearts exist
Pure enough to be torn asunder
At a glimpse of demon’s eyes
I see only fragments
Courage is worst
Who’s in control of the game
Deep under the sea of ageless darkness
Is where my heart belongs
I asked for it
Let the immortal ancient creatures
Clean up the corpse
Thus the child can get his ticket
Back to his uncontaminated kingdom
Regain his freedom
No more
I don’t want the story to continue
I implore you
I implore you
I can’t take this no more
You've known me and my world
From words I'd never spoken
A Mister across the continent
You reached out all of a sudden
Expected and unexpected
Wreathed in the love of a poet
Under the pale electric light
The elevated heartbeat
Of silent night
O can I take it
Voices telling me to quit
So I did with blind eye
Fear in me
Hastily drew a line
pushed you away
Huddled behind the wall
Only to watch me dipped in great bitterness
Never had I found dancing alone so poignant
Pale me
Limp me
Dumb me
Dumped me
Black-eyed me
Trying to walk to you
Peep at your face through the hole
Read you over and over from the shade
Secretly missing you
Speaking to you
Early wake-ups for anything from you
All day long thinking of you
You never knew
I saw a grey hair of mine just now
What am I to say
Will you still love me
When I have turned into a devastated old woman
A vigour-lost maiden
Once I was told
That it's always a he who starts up
A she who keeps up
It's always a he who pulls her down with honey words
A she who's left behind
When I have shred all that's covering me
Torn down the wall defending me
To stand before you mute and naked
Darling don't you dare ever hurt me
All I want is you to see my heart
Or maybe
Come to reality
And I am yours
If this is what you desire
See me in Shanghai City
In Pudong Airport
I'll be in Tongji University
In and after September
If you shall be ready
This as my selfish and humble wish
Becoming a small fraction of your life
Even just for a few fleeting nights
Of indulgence
Of endless lust
If you shall appear
I will give you me
All of me
Every part of my soul and my body
Give me up and hand me to your hands
My strange lover
I will wait and seal myself
'Cos my heart is occupied.
Me.
You stole my heart,
While I was sleeping,
You left me feeling,
Totally numb,
Under the duvet,
I was tearfully peeking,
My tongue was swollen,
I became dumb.
You invaded my dreams,
Held me so tight,
Wrestled with my mind,
Made me feel so secure,
Banished the shadows,
That haunted the night,
Turned dreams to mist,
Unrecognizable and so obscure.
Simple ideas now frozen,
In time,
Joy and discomfort,
Fractured into pieces,
Between scrolling fantasies,
And reality which intertwine,
Transmitting desires,
With spiteful telekinesis.
You ripped my heart out,
Like a frenzied tiger,
Stood back silently,
Watched the blood pour,
When I tried to break free,
You just held me tighter,
My cries were drowned,
By your deafening roar.
There's no shame,
In trying to love,
When you put your,
Heart on the line,
It's usually someone you've,
Had recurring dreams of,
And within your heart,
You've built a shrine.
But you can't just,
Walk away from dreams,
Even when your,
Just right there,
In the end you just,
Totally crumble into smithereens,
And your life changed,
Into another cruel nightmare.
Unknown girl.
With surgical precision,
You open the scars
of my wounded heart.
I bleed my words over you
and sully your perfect world.
You release them ~
The sharp-toothed demons
who devour my soul
And then flay my logic
for all to see,
exposing my inadequacies.
Another voice
you desire to hear
But do not understand;
To feel the need ~
Not fathoming its meaning.
You feed the muse
to hear the tinkling laughter,
silent pain and bitter sadness
that hide in the iced moon,
And with measured words,
thaw my frozen heart.
For what purpose?
Me.
Lost inside a dream,
memories taunting me,
shadows of mystery,
where I used to be.
Echoes of disbelief,
pulsates upon the floor,
culminates in raptures,
knocking at my door.
Kisses oh so tender,
whisper on the breeze,
darkness seems to follow me,
then brings me to my knees.
Lies wrapped around truth’s,
the tongue delights and shames,
words both bless and curse,
the righteous always blamed.
Beauty robs the lazy gaze,
and painted smiles disrupt,
eyes closed distort the view,
choices become corrupt.
Pictures paint a thousand words,
yet lips defy the reason,
secrets drip like falling rain,
amidst the driest season.
Perfect strangers wonder by,
without a backward glance,
invisible to all those around,
won't even take a chance.
Pebbles on a rocky shore,
scrape beneath your feet,
whistling wind calls your name,
but only echoes do you meet.
You see a face from out the blue,
with lips that smoulder bright,
eyes that seem to radiate hope,
like a beacon in the night.
