the darkxyde of reymundo

 

smiling in sadness, grinning in grief, a radiance in darkness is the cure for defeat. after a while of torture and damnation, we sometimes get too relaxed with the pain. we begin to love the negative. we see the beautiful in what is grotesque. what better way to express darkness than in poetry? still under construction

black & joy

as i was walking to work
this morning, i stumbled upon 
a dead cat lying on the
slum-area tricycle road.

it was dirty black
with uneven streaks of 
gray, brown & white,
its eyes wide open, staring far, 
while blood & liquids 
spilled off its mouth.

i continued my walk realizing then 
how such bleak wonderment 
once again inspired the darkside of my heart,
filling my recently 
empty soul with
a black oil of happy nihilism. 
good morning, darkness!

i feel myself grinning inside.
i have never shaved in weeks
i have gained a huge belly of clumsy gluttony
and have been dressing myself 
with torn clothes that used to 
be my cape of lustful charm.

as i fatly sat on the
late tricycle to work, 
i saw a legless beggar
happily collecting the thrown coins
from the asphalt ground,
as if he was picking up bits & pieces of joy
that gradually filled him up
with pure natural bliss.

how i wish it were that easy. 


good morning darkness

good morning darkness
the day is black
there's no more sadness
behind my back
the lords of torment
and dogs of threat
are now just voodoo dolls
here in my pocket

the lizard choir heralds my arrival
whenever i come, the black imperial,
the lord of mumbles
and urine bubbles,
the geek that snorts
at all his troubles,
today's a new day for all eternity
the deadless website of rotten history
we will endure & we'll survive
kissing & loving our sores will be our pride.

good morning darkness
good morning blue
good morning all dead
good morning you.

 

"grinning at self"

it is clear now,
i cannot erase the pain.
now i unravel my sanity
making fun of my misery

first let me lock the gates
away from the preachers and nuns
whose sympathies cannot cure.
let me dream of thoughts impure
disturbing and incongruent,
uneven and impossible,
electric fans that act like sparrows
and daisies that mumble.

leave me be.
as i stroll in the mall,
i shall now hallucinate that im on
a vast field of technicolor
grasslands that sing in japanese.


i shall create my own 
hallucinogenic by twisting
my mind and soul,
and i shall spray paint it
with black and yellow.
by the end of the day,
it shall be filled with stickers
of cartoon characters and 
old kung fu movies.

it is evil to be destructive to others
i shall therefore self destruct
with a silly grin

bound

iron gauntlet on feeble hands
sweat paints the metal rust,
it clenches upon the control lever
to the gigantic mass of machinery
torturing the captives
out of their sanity.

 

here i lay on the iron maiden
wet with grease and blood
coughing with fumes of toxic steam.
the more i struggle out,
the worse the pain,
as chains binding my arms and legs
pull me apart, flexing my veins, skin and bones,
while the spikes bury deeper and deeper
in my clay-feeble mass. 



as the slow screeching sounds
of the machines
make the fear in me deeper, 
i hear a hollow crack
and my ribs break like wet pencils
one by one.

i spill blood
flooding the batteries,
now his toys malfunction
and his playground is in chaos,
in flames and electric bolts burst,
the rusty pieces flay apart
and oil showers all over. 

as my soul leaves
my murdered shell,
i laugh in sinister humor
upon his tragic destiny.

he never had me.
