brimming speckled
eyes of gold
we trek through
the
labyrinth
crossing
thresholds
from earth
to ether
low & behold
for there are
others seeking
a dream they
once sold

Those people
whom aren't
for everyone
those
are
my people

The lone

howls
in
the dead

loneliness

your love


in vain

my seaside dreams

in vein

harbored heart

in vain

abyss of cold desires


in vein

the needle

in vain

the rush

in vein

your love

in my veins


this heart

in vain

3 am
wine stained lips
faded polaroids

We are cascades away
oceans apart
my trembling hands
light a cigarette
All I have left
is the art

Black tar
Daydream
China white
Fiend
Gold in
His veins
Soft touch
to
take away
his pains
Gal of the night
I do what you like
Far out my mind
he's
Still in my sight
Samantha Cunha Feb 2019
If you summon
for
me
I'll be
moon bathing
for the sun
is eternally
draining
my mind
is filled
with amethyst
rose
my heart beats
poetry
& prose

in the glint of
his wandering, malevolent
eyes, I see hope and light
casting out the darkest
of nights,
and maybe I am a fool
for seeing love where
hate boils over,
and seeing peace
where chaos resides
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
I forget how your hair sweeps ever so slightly
over your black eyes
I forget how your mouth moves ever so gently
when you speak lies
I forget how your touch feels, cold to my bones
I forget how you lay in grass with purple stones
I forget how you feel, the words you speak
Which light me up and make me weak
Before you break me down again
With words which hurt like limes on my bruised knees
I forget how it feels to lay next to you
I forget how electric it feels too
Cause’ our love was darkness n light
It was like daytime n night
It felt right
But i forget the way your touch hurt
I forget the way your touch healed
Cause toxicity burned into my daydreams
And you were less of a man, more of a fiend
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
will the sun rise
again
yes
will the moon rise the tides again
yes
will the afternoon sway into
the evening
yes
will the heart bleed vermillion drops
onto a page, exploding into a million
words which expose the human condition of
longing
yes

How far I've come,
how far I've gone,
are two measures of time
I can't grasp, for what is time?
An illusionary clock,
attempting to grip you,
pull you in, and bring
you closer to death,
well I refuse to abide,
so where I've been
and where I'm going
collide like two erratic waves in the sea,
don't you see?
how far I've come,
and how far I've gone
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
lost in infinity,
yet your eyes take me nowhere.
the time passes slowly, as if
we don't exist.
this moment is all we have,
and I bathe in it's
beauty.
leaves of our minds
are intertwined,
lost in a toxic wasteland
for days on end,
we don't exist outside
this room.
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
In a realm where nothing is as it seems,
and the dreamer always dreams
the mystical moon is guiding
me through the doors which
once closed shut, now they are swung wide open
The forbidden fruit tastes sweet
the poison tastes like cinnamon
the vines grow downward into the roots
and the sun rises backwards
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
I dreamt of you again,
lost in deja vu
impenetrable silence hums
in my window pane, luring me into
the world I often tried to escape
there's a road which never ends
there's a light which never shines
there's a you
who is never here
I dreamt of you again,
fifth time this week
i will meet you again
when my mind drifts off to sleep
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
A shot of his love makes me wild,
spinning, spinning, spinning
like the unknown child
I spin, until I can't no more
coming down
, I fall to the floor
a shot of his love, it makes me wild
spinning, spinning, I can't be still
spinning out, I love the thrill
a shot of his love makes me wild,
singing his blues, like
the unseen child

storm risin'
yellow sun, dawn
of the horizon
he likes to drive
the curved roads,
I like to ride
all night

jazz, blues,
magnetic muse
by my side

is this
heaven

he likes to drive
the curved roads,
I ride all night

All we have
is now

become what you
are, before
they told you
whom you're
supposed to be

universal lucidity
shines thru me, and
sets my soul on fire

eyes level to the horizon
sun sets on the dawn
of our gilded love

all we have
is now
Samantha Cunha Jan 2020
write your verses
speak them into
the wind
let them fly,
fly high amongst
the breeze

write your
name into
the trees
etch them in
and be free

leave your mark,
leave your woes,
embrace the day!

iridescent, moonlit shore
heavens wash upon us,
in a transient town
trekked through
many moons before.

While the light
in the iris dims
beneath the peak,
we let
our bodies speak.

There is a truth
we seek, and
it nears us
beyond the
curvaceous
streets ahead.
  
Mystic musings
led us here,
we lose control
and let the divinity
steer.
Samantha Cunha Jan 2020
I'm on my seventh life, darling
one more time around
the sun
maybe in
the next life,
ill get it right
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
Wether you seize the day
through the valley of truth,
or you lounge around
in shades of blue,
you lived the way
you needed to.
For when the daybreak shimmers
on through, fear not
what you do,
you lived that day
as you
needed to
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
silhouette lit up, dances heavenly
in
crimson red
words choke me slow,
the words which I never said
bound to you,
through the daybreak in blue
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
Yesterday, I dreamt
of you in the dawn
of my heart, beating
vermillion red, my hands
shaking and cold.

Today, I dream of me
my mind clear, and open
as I wash the past
from my body,
and seek the day
in all it's beauty
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
disillusioned & dizzied
by the reckless, endless nights
forlorn & seeking
a place to call home

The streets are void
of light
the highways
never end
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
the winded trails
of a forevermore transient state
of existence leaves me high
and runs me dry
the cool mind of a sunshine brimming eye
gleams towards my half lit cigarette
he sits perched high
with tidbits of wisdom
he lets them fly
Samantha Cunha Mar 2020
wandering in dark, looming alleys
to escape this ephemeral existence
wander through the forrest
of my mind, the pine trees
sharp &  the past weighs heavy
on my back like stones
Samantha Cunha Apr 2020
Dizzied eyes
turbulent waves
My heart is harbored
by the seaside

I long to escape
into a world of my own
where we can be alone
together

The road ahead
calls my name
theres a divided
line between my heart
and my head
between the past
and the present

I cross the threshold

mantra,
the vessel which
guides the boat
into the everlasting
abundance of truth

truth,
the soul cleansed
from the white noise hums

the key
to unlock
the kingdom
of heaven

I pranced
around
the revolving
sun
danced with

Potential
is like a butterfly
it floats around
beautiful
enigmatic
& full of hope
yet it fleets
away
Grasp
that butterfly
with warm palms
& embrace
it fully
then watch
it fly

I once lived
in the wild
with beasts
sun shone
as
I danced
recklessly
through the

the presence
of warmth
& heat
had a heart

and thoughts
of fleet

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

I sway

my pale grasp
holding a

one foot
in the dark
one foot

Rough hands
crush a menthol
cigarette
stained
with red wine
& my red lips
he crushes
it slowly
& crushes
my dreams
as he inhales toxicity
and exhales my love

Infernal  intent

I was an alchemist

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
Samantha Cunha Feb 2020
There's a path in
the garden
where we came
from

and I long to feel your
blues

Now I walk
the path alone
& my feet turn
red

My dream is gone
and the days
are wicked
& long

Searching for
the higher realms
wild maned lovers
I'm a fool on the
journey,
don't bound
me to your chains
Samantha Cunha Dec 2019
Meditation on an airplane,
as we both fly high
through the ethers,
and transcend space,
time,
and darkness.

My being is light,
drinks up the clouds
and kisses the stars.

My heart beats still,
still beats for you,
through it all.

Meditation on an airplane,
I race through the
heavens
to reach you
in time,
los angeles
gleams,
sparkles,
shines,
speaks to me
through the
divine.
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
Your love is like black coffee,
strong and hard to take
it fades away when the new
dawn rolls around,
and albeit wavering
like an elusive flame,
I still feel it all around
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
You and I,
the 405,
the sunshine of our rain
the storm of our own making
the never ending highways
the electric blue skies
the prophetic visions
you and I,
the 405
the clouds are high
so am I
you and I,
take the ride
Samantha Cunha May 2019
Spring sprung &
we danced around the revolving sun
yet while summer simmers
closer with each day,
My mind feels like
a dreary winters night
in the midst of May
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
Oh, you raven of the night -
subverting the rules, seeking freedom,
ready to spread those black wings & take flight
with your black hair, sweeping ever so slightly over your black eyes the way your mouth moves ever so gently when you speak eloquent lies
the touch of yours, cold to my bones
the way you lay gently in grass with purple stones
How you feel, the words you speak
which light me up , electrify my soul, and make me weak
right before you break me down again
In his arm it feels like heaven or a hell of sorts,
for once I get a taste it's never enough
drowning in it, drowning in it, drowning in it!
love is like a shore or maybe an abyss
ready to burn and leave a scar, here but never quite there
lost in some world of another
for in his arms it feels like heaven or a hell of sorts
Samantha Cunha Nov 2019
the unknown poet
hidden behind bottles of wine
or drowning in caffeine at the local
coffee shop,
the most magical of days
are the ones in which I find the
right words, they drip from my lips
like sweet grapes on a vine
entangling me,
rooting  me to the earth,
for god knows
once I drift into the
ethers,
I may never come down
