A false

spoke to me

dreams

Untitled
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
In the mire of sunday news,
I am sick to my stomach
with the blues
The aching, longing
to escape this realm
for California is lit on fire,
the world is struck with dark
desire,
So I turn the volume down,
and let my mind rest with ease

dark times
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
My dreams
my nightmares
collide as one,
awakening me
amidst these dark times

The open, vast road
to freedom calls to me
as the raven rises
once more, singing his
bleak tunes

Escaping into the
delusions, dizzied by
the unknown
When the time
comes, I'll be ready
to answer the call

Between
who you
have been
and
whom you are
lies
an unknown
force
which
compelled
you
to change

starseed
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
We emerge from stardust,
thrown into this world of material
existence

Star seed origins, born
of the skies, the stars
pumping through
our golden, electric veins

Some mornings, I awaken
with speckled eyes of hope
and memories from the origins
we emerge.

I aimed
for heaven
yet fell
into the depths

I fell deep down
with a wicked
frown
dirt & blood
on my satin

Riding high
Samantha Cunha Mar 2019
We were riding high
amongst the winds
of a midnight breeze
It was you &I
him & me
for
In the illusion of time,
It must be seen
all importance
Lies in
fleeting moments
where one is
free

I pull myself apart,
I put myself back together

I let you tear me down,
I put myself back together

I let you consume me,
feel you consume me

You’re neither good nor pure,
I want it, all of it

Days pass, you have broke me
I put myself back together

beauty is in the mundane

Soak up
the
gloomy hours
dance in

inhale the scent
emerging

For the beauty

Dark Matter
Samantha Cunha Jan 2019
Dark matter
purely floated along
in the ethers
before the universe
came together
Don't you see my love
we are not whole
not complete
until the darkness
engulfs us
at least once

Chambers of Gold
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
My chambers of gold
aren’t so stable anymore
The oasis in which I used to escape
has crumbled to the floor
Those fallen hopes, desires, and dreams
Have taken an immense toll
I’m torn at the seams
I have fallen into the depths
of the black ocean
Waves pulls me under
causes quite a commotion

This chaotic turmoil feels comfortable to me
Peaceful times have yet to set me free
I drift deeper into the other realms
These alternative realities overwhelm
My mind and soul
but reality is far far away
It’s a distant galaxy so here I will stay

What is fated to be will always come around
The cosmic understanding can always be found
Duality of the light and the dark
Here I discover newfound desires and dreams
Which aren’t so stark

Electric dreams
Samantha Cunha Mar 2019
Planting seeds
in my garden of electric
dreams
Tend to me
& my tattered seams
For I unravel slowly
in bright blue streams
the wicked ones
shall reap what they sow
A bitter garden
mustn't grow
so inhale purity,
inhale it slow
white&gleaming
in the snow

ode to me
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
I can't love myself,
and still love you.
you struck me
like lightning
in the midnight blue.
this is an ode to me,
and not to you
I love myself,
no longer
you

Around

Of town
With killers
In the night
Madness prevailed
In the house of sin

Trials and tribulations
sent from the divine

forms a lovely trine

I have lived

Wild fire
Samantha Cunha Feb 2019
At times
I am similar
to a wild fire
Destructive,
full of rage,
and yearning
to eradicate
the natural
state of what
surrounds
me
Burning, burning, burning
yearning, yearning, yearning
for change

windy
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
I saw the clearest
of messages in
a vivid dream,
my feet were
chained as
I was
drowning in heavy
waters and couldn't
swim upstream

When the illusion shatters,
I'll finally get free
The hidden motives
will be revealed to me
my glistening thoughts
float away, I shall
interpret them
on a brighter day

Gilded love ends,
can't seem to stay
the darkness may loom
forevermore,
as it's always near

some mysteries remain
unraveled,
not all roads meant
to be travelled
life is strange indeed,
in my rose garden
I'm planting the seeds
purge the worries,
purge the sorrows
Empty mind,
can you fill these hollows
Inspiration fleets from my palms
I tried to grasp it,
but it can’t stay too long
Inspiration flies away
I’ll capture it again
when the wind don’t sway

always
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
There's a door,
it opens.

There's a light,
it always flickers sideways.

There's a moon,
it taunts the day,
bids it goodbye.

there's a sun,
it shines into eternal truth,
lighting up the eyes,
daring them to explode
into a mountain of creation.

There's a light,
it always flickers sideways.

There's a dream,
it waits for you by the bedside.

There's a you,
we just haven't crossed paths yet.

To  write
Each day until

My fingers bleed

To love you each
Hour until my
Body leaves

To sit here
In the cool morning breeze

To love you from afar


Cool and blue
Distant seas

This is all i long
To do,  to give
Myself

Is nothing new

I’ll write each day until
My fingers bleed
And ill sing every hour
To the brown fall leaves

I’ll love you here
Until my body leaves.

Here we lay
Samantha Cunha Apr 2019
Distant pink sky
electric sun horizon
I've never wished more to be free
free from who I've been
Free from you & me
As I hear church bells ring
in the abyss
I solemnly wonder if I should be there
But I lay my chaotic head where comfort lies
& lock my ice cold stare
into a future I can't quite make out
Voice within me knows it is coming
& soon the days of running & running
from the prison of my making
will drift away
I shall get there soon
but until then
Here we lay

delirium
Samantha Cunha Jun 2020
Daydreams lost in
a clouded
haze of delirium

Sin tastes like
gilded gates
of heaven opening
at golden hour

Chalice filled
to the brim awaits us
we are always drinking
poison

You're eyes are
dark as the ravens
whom fly amidst
the midnight sky

Delirium of endless nights
and endless lost highways
we ride

Rose Garden nightmare
Samantha Cunha Dec 2018
White lace
lines my porcelain
thighs
Gently
submerged
into the
bed of roses
feel the thorns
invigorate my
mind which
wanders
to visions,dreams
of crimson blood
dripping
ever so perfectly
onto the lace
a keen needle
filled with poison
entering the bloodstream

Lost in the eyes
which tread upon the heavy
gates of heavens

If I keep my gaze
level to the earth
and this plane,
I may never
reach what they call
nirvana

I'm lost in the eyes which
tread upon the heavy gates
of heaven

Tethered to his mad laughter
as it rings into the night

Heaven is within
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
In the distance, the hills are filling with fire
the ash falls upon his hair, like a halo
I think I'm in heaven,
I heard it's on earth
it ain't about doing all we can to reach it one day,
for
heaven is within us, the fire is all around us

by the bend
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
The river of time flows,
the molasses slows, while eternal
light glows.
The waves rise above
my mind, where amethyst
resides bestowed from the divine.
Eyes open, and mouth shut tight
sunken, escaping the dreary
day to day chatter.
Seek the road when the white birds
call , for freedom
is rewarded to those
whom meet by the bend.

Sporadic Words
Samantha Cunha Nov 2018
Sporadic words

Flow out endlessly

My mind isn’t still

Your heart isn’t whole

A beautiful mind is no less

Even when broken

Into a million pieces

Those pieces still sparkle

They still shine bright

I tried the crooked path

My feet got chained

Now I walk towards the light

The all encompassing

light

Your touch electrified me

It hurt

But it propelled me

to seek higher realms

A mind this frantic
may never be idle

save your self
from a gal

Broken dreams

will disperse

new dawn
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
There is a storm
before the calm
a dark night of
the soul before
the rebirth.

There is destruction
before growth
and a hatred
before eternal love
can blossom fully
amongst the withered
roses of pains past,
scorned by
the sharpest of thorns.

There is a new dawn
on the horizon,
can't you feel it?

Past moments
Dried up in the
Desert heat
The time is
Never, the time
Is now
