Neat Poems: Virginal Guitar, The Beast, IHU, and You never Came by Teresita Blanco

Virginal Guitar 

by Teresita Blanco

Why bother to tune

A guitar no one will play?

In a corner she rest

Waiting for the end.

Time passes anew

The strings lie virginal.

No melody ever escaped

Her hollow mouth.

Alone she rested

Keeping her tune mute.

No one will play it.

No one will break it,

Except the grim death.

The Beast

by Teresita Blanco

For how long,

I know not,

Did I avoid mirrors?

I do not want to see

The beast within!

So hollow, so opaque,

A face scarred by death,

And eyes so vacant.

The Mind escapes,

Reality gives chase.

Forever binding,

Always guiding

Toward the same end.

IHU                             IHU

by Teresita Blanco

For how long               I hated you (?), when

I sought to kiss             your steel blade

Those trembling lips    killed me again.

***                              ***

The morning dew         Mask your stench, it

Welcomes you,            Beckons you

To my arms                 toward my phantom, to

Once again                   hug my neck.

****                            ****

I know not                   What to do,

For how long               must I serve you?

I waited for you,          with a leaded arrow

But you never came     you aim at me, again.

You Never Came

by Teresita Blanco

For how long

Did I wait?

And you never came?

In these dark hours

I bleed over

These empty pages.

They are lost,

Just like you.

I waited a 1000 years,

And you never came.

I cannot erase

This leaded memory.

For How long,

And you never came.
