...and under a starry, starry night

As passion became his pain

The artistry of a creative life

Extinguished like a flame 

Infinite strokes of colourful hue

Brushed out to a pallette of gray

A sunflower in a winter's field

Amidst the cold decay 

Starlight swirled & flowers bloomed

Pigments, of intimate blend

Blew away upon a fragile wind

No colours. N...

I’ve seen miracles happen before my eyes,

witnessed empty souls become human again.

More than human, I’ve seen them struggle

and fight against an invisible,

yet all-consuming, foe. One who is

dark, deceptive, relentless and cruel.

I’ve watched them grow with a determination,

grace and humility unknown to the masses.

They have found new depths of consciousness

Bad Poetry

My name is Caleb Gorey

The narrative is

My brain is a literary Rubik’s Cube and not even I can solve it

The network of my nerves are syntactic

And my blood vessels are but a poem

Clotted with cells of writer’s block

Because my heart is deprived of the right words to gift  my mouth

And my liver faults again and its screaming

“You can’t have it!”

The Hard Moment

Woe to the heart that finds herself here.  Woe to her.

Woe to her breath that has been yanked from her chest

Woe to the scraping agony of fear.

Woe to her who falls prostrate on the floor.  

Her heart beats slow black as a crow

And she scratches to find the door

Woe to her who looks up to seek hope.  

She drenches her skirt with tears and dirt

This was his plan: imitating their dance,

Massaging their myths, storming, by surprise,

Their sand trap of conspiracies and lies;

To step on, by default, the greatest stage

Which life or spite could plausibly advance.

Lost in their bazaar, his slight repertoire

Propelled him to a failure by slow rage,

Though in the end he rallied to make par

The Library of Silence

I lived in a silent library full of no books

it was a hollow echo chamber of nothingness

The shelves were bare and covered with dust

Learning was basic as it depended on spoken words

only one's memory was able to retain and store

Conversation and dialogue were certainly not encouraged

There are some people living among us,

Most of the time they’re rich with higher ranks

And looking down to everybody as

They think themselves superior to all.

When seeing that they have all they would need

And even more while others strive to live

Is giving them a pleasure they enjoy

And make them feel accomplished their lives.

You’re not a bad person

Everyone is their own worst critic,

We swap stories,

How can you choose a good plumber

And trust that he’s up to the task

When his ratings are five star.. and glowing

We cast our mind to a special place

A dream

Where things feel a little more wholesome— with a little less edge

And this is where I go

Where the sand meets the sea

Where rugged rich formations— are cushioned by giant and lush tropical trees

The sky is blue— the sun smiles

Laughter, merriment, love and oneness

But take a closer look then you'd see the crack.

How can it be heavenly when all I feel is this tightness in my heart when i glance through?

I see all the mistakes made, secrets kept, painful musing,

I get nostalgic all over again, should I keep on loathing?

Or remain in this happy place?

Thes...

I see Stars intruding locations between clouds in Misty formations. Trains chudder by as I gaze upon the first and last of tonight’s night sky. I gaze around so aimlessly and am always asking why. 

Distractions must enter and take me away. Allow me to see the beauty of each day. 

Taking me back to this moment right here. 

As the wildlife of this evening starts to becomes al...

Some of us appear to have forgot

that the train service has stopped

else why are we all stood here waiting like a bunch of goons?

Soon they’ll be pulling up the tracks

and when Mr Henry gets the sack

the grass will grow and the whole place will return unto the dunes.

Choo choo train where have you gone

now don’t you know we need you?

How in the world are you supposed to get...

I

Stand

For 

Purpose

You

Stand

For 

Purpose

If 

You 

Lost 

Your

Purpose

Stand

up

And 

Go

Find 

It

Break 

The 

Shackles

Of 

Conformity

And 

Begin 

To 

Believe

In 

The

Souls Will

That 

Moves

I can not depend on my moods, 
This is why I depend on food.
Good days, bad days, the pain stays,
The food I eat takes me away.

I used to be fat and then went slim,
Now the fat creeps back in.
Self esteem is what I lacked,
Food is slowly making me fat.
The mirror is no friend of mine,
The image I see is not mine. 

The dismal day portays my mood,
and then 'BOOM' I run back to food.

I once heard a flute from far away

Was it the doorbell or the voice of Aunt Maye?

I tried to follow the flute far away 

And found the carriage-drivers whistling with green leaves

I once knew that all they did was drive carriages

But I didn't know that they feasted on cabbages

I tried to follow the flute again the next day

And caught Aunt Maye brushing her teeth in the garden

Dissolved in water

Sugar cube transcends its form

Sweetness is released

Ambrosia, Pink Lady, and Honey Crisp
flaunt ruby as harvest apples appear.

Stacked ears of corn on the cob
await shucking, boiling, salt & butter,
then the chattering-smile of front teeth.
Cleaning the cob a row at a time
will probably need a toothpick
or a fingernail.

When the tooth fairy got my front
teeth at the age of six, my mom
would cut the corn from the cob
with a ...

When my mind thinks of you, I feel instant disgust. And not all for how you treated me but for myself. For allowing myself to tolerate being so sad and unhappy in a relationship with you.

And I've pondered this feeling of disgust for quiet some time now. So now I realize I am ashamed of my own self for tolerating such treatment. I will need more time to build myself up again. It won't...

To get engaged was based on a question

a question to me my wife

That was done with the sole intention

to be with you for the rest of my life

But to be engaged is more than a question

it a declaration that I share a dream

To dream with you, forever and a day

about tomorrows that might come our way

One day this engagement will come to an end

to be replaced b...

That pain in your chest when your crying at night tears pure white 

Show me the pain and insecurities you continue to shoulder 

So i can come in like the rude friend that doesnt ask to come over 

Knock shit over

Running in the dark until I fall off the worlds edge whose missing me anyway

I think about that everyday falling asleep waking up still in darkness 

Trying to harness

"I am not a monster!"

I roar in their faces.

There's blood on their minds...

... I know, cos I can taste it.

"I can defend myself.

Mum didn't raise a dickhead.

You think I'm scary now?"

I haven't even lost my shit yet.

Time softly slips by

I opened my eyes only to find darkness all around.
The coldness trapped me in its arms,
As I stood there emotionless, I was drowned.

Slowly it devoured me, I thought I had died.
Nothing was left to drive me to the light,
But due to the sudden blood rush, I somehow survived.

Two sides of a coin melted into one, brawling for power.
The smile disappeared into the frightening abyss,
As the...

A man, the nation loved

His charisma and personality

bewildering. Had a depth of 

Character and a high morale.

Young, happy and fighting.

He has now has laid to rest.

A sudden attack 

A heart of gold now with a crack.

In memory of Sidharth Shukla, may his soul rest in peace.

They have strained every sinew,

pulled out all the stops,

thrown the kitchen sink at it,

and worked around the clock.

They have bent over backwards,

bust a gut,

the whole nine yards;

struggled, striven, toiled,

they are Trojan, double-hard.

They have tortured every puppy,

scalded every cat,

stripped skin and hair and tail,

then strangled every rat.

Age

Does it all come down to this?

A daily crossword, an unchecked list

A wish, a kiss and curtain open morning

A body struggling to move, to sit

Without the pain of feeling it.

The struggle dragging on your sock

And watching seconds pass on mantle clock

A life well lived becomes a yawning

As drooping eyes and sagging jaw

Become the life which once was so much mo...

I saw the sunrise today
Beyond the little hill..
It will rise again tomorrow..
But for me today time stood still...
I packed up our home today...
With the early sun rays...
Said my goodbye as it was my last day...
Every nook has a little memory...
Every corner it's own story...
The lights we put together twinkle away in my minds eye..
Even as I pull out the plug with a sigh...
Every lit...
