Three New Amassing Poems: Criminal, Name Your Game! , Oblivion by Teresita Blanco

Criminal 
by Teresita Blanco

I reach out to you

And embrace nothing.

I see you laughing

While my face

Lies in the dirt. 

Your disdain knows no bounds,

I hear her hounds;

Revenge is slow but certain.

Lift the curtain,

Look beyond the world

Laid before you!

You must choose,

Or else soon loose.

Take a path,

Raise your ax,

Take the final step.

There is nothing left

To slow you down.

There are no sounds,

No shrieking sirens.

Now go forth, fight them! 

Name Your Game! 
by Teresita Blanco

“For once, I won’t say your name!

For once, I won’t play your game!”

The dice is cast,

The curse, now lifted,

Purgation brings no salvation.

Guilt leads to damnation.

Show your eyes,

There’s no shame,

Alas, there’s no pain!

Submit to them, again.

Bend low, go with the flower,

The tides are turning,

Your heart is burning;

Again, you grow hollow.

Again, you must follow.

Forget this pain,

Again, you must say their name!

Again, you must play their game!

“Name your game!”

 

Oblivion 
by Teresita Blanco

Oblivion is but a song,

It’s part of a woeful melody

That all must sing.

The pain of yesterday

Creeps forth, with time!

The things I done

No one will know!

They take my muse

To the pyre!

Never again to hear her song!

Fly low, hide your woe!

Only then you’ll survive.

I see timid flames

Burning anew, fresh young, full of youth.

They lie tamed by winter’s might.

This cold soul

Knows no woes.

Life has extinguished

Her first anguish.

All that remains

Is , but a one!
