Four Poems by Daginne Aignend

Mood tuners

I'm so tensed
The world is a dark cloud
Can't see any brightness over here

A party, I'm at a party
Be cheerful, that's the word
Laugh and dance the night away

I can't, I hate the phony atmosphere
Mood tuners, I will get me some
Get me on the right frequency

Shivering, cold sweat
Want to cut deep, but again I won't
Help me, help me, please!
 




Raw

Wash!
I need to scrub away
the besmirching stains 
My skin is all wrinkled
in the shower
by the hot steamy water
No, not clean yet
Have to purify me again

Exhausted...
This body is not my own
Can I transfer myself
somehow into my
true self
before you took it

Raw
is all I can feel
Raw





Insomnia 

God, I'm so tired
Think exhaustion is the word
My body feels as if I'm wired
Got me overwhelmed by hurt

Oh please let me sleep
Desperately, oh it's enough
An infinite abyss, falling deep
I just can't switch my mind off

Losing my powers, weakness
I'm cursed, forever sleepless
 




Penance

Needles anguish my skin
A torture of the nerve
Guilty as sin
I got what I deserve

Tormenting blazing flames
Burns me deep inside
Controlled by a poignant shame
Shame, because I lied


In my soul an everlasting stain
I could never imagine ...

The path of love
 
would cause so much pain
