The Gnome
Oh, god! Here I'm
Right back!
In front of you,
Ready to be redeemed
Me, the twin-legged little monster
your magnificiant creation
long long ago
To swallow
the shadows of wealth
To gulp
the shadows of love n hate
To glut
your beloved creations on earth
To gorge
everything in this world
and the other world
The Gnome of shadows!
Of shadows only!!

A Recipe for Happiness
Find the darkness in your days,
and kill it in the silent nights,
then let others notice and say,
your shine has gone up to what heights.
Yet don't be done with what you have,
just spread your wings and jump to fly,
there's much you have done yesterday,
there's more you have to do tonight.
When you watch the tables turn,
and god takes test at every turn,
the...

Ugly beauty
You are the one
Who sees ugly things in

You are the one
who sees beautiful things
in ugly ones
You are beautiful
and ugly also

Another Train Song
Standing on the platform, waving goodbye to yesterday’s train.
Perhaps you wanted to feel you had a little bit of control.
You’re saying you hope that train never comes back again.
A peripatetic pretense helps to ease the pain.
It’s a phantom journey, but no one has to know.
Standing on the platform, waving goodbye to yesterday’s train.
You collected yourself, stood erect, and hoped to ...

Charles Bukowski (Way He Writes)
Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski was quite a character. Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violence and sexual imagery. Many people found his writing offensive. He writes with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness which makes him different from most writers. Bukowski was very much into alcohol, sex and even violence. Bukowski went to scho...

Close to the Flames
I stood outside the gates of Hell,
Ready to dive headlong into flame,
But you put your hand on my shoulder,
Turned me toward you and kissed my face.
You held me tightly against you and promised
You’d protect me for all eternity.
You assured me I was one of the good ones,
And I never should have been in this place.
You led me from the depths to a softer light,
And we lay,...

Twenty Ways to Ruin a Poem
It’s best to sneak up on the reader.
Change the meter,
Change the rhyme,
Change the tone,
Or change the subject.
Try to do something unexpected,
Like confessing a crime
Or secret perversion,
Even in a
Short poem.

To Define a Thing
He broke her spirit when he declared
He didn’t even know what love is.
She had only asked a simple question
As she planned her own future.
Whilst he resisted closing his options,
He never noticed how open hers were.
She awaited his answer as her suitors
Sat on the sidelines biding their time.
He pretended he didn’t understand
The comfort of constant companionship

Surgeon
He dissected them
I donned rubber gloves
and pulled apart their organs
trying to understand
how it was
that I was any better than them
or even
any different.

He loved the distance a pen could create
offering the safety of clinical observation
placing him behind the Plexiglas
and far above
so that he appeared clean and professional

Her Eyes Are My Camera
With the world out of focus
Life seems more contorted
As truth becomes distorted
I am disfigured; sight is aborted
Her eyes are my camera
Focused on the ground
Your eyes are my camera
How can I fall down
How can I fall now
Lost, confused, direction gone
A soul again lacerated
People appear more perforated
I am dismembered; sight is obliterated
Her eyes are my camera
Focused on ...

I've doubted my
happiness along
awaiting for my newer

and as I rewrite all

Tortured Metaphor
The idea for this poem was to have Metaphor itself tied to a chair and tortured with bad writing. I have a feeling the bad writing comes through, but the meta-metaphor and overall conceit for the poem may be lost. But I guess writing is, in a sense, experimental, even if it isn't falsifiable. So, whatever, here is the poem.
Tortured Metaphor
Every rendition begins with shackles,

Love
{Love}
Love isn't easy to do
Love can be a nightmare
that follows you
throughout your life
Love can rip your heart
apart if you trust in
someone who says or
claims that they love you
when in fact they don't
or never did
Love is a tangible
unmistakable hurtful
lie of your life
Love can leave one down

NOTHING MUCH FOR MINORS BY SAHAJ SABHARWAL
"NOTHING MUCH FOR MINORS"
Minors are those less than eighteen,
As they don't have knowledge in keen.
They don't have a driving licence,
As don't have driving sense.
Minors are given just pen and page,
Their life is not more than a cage.
Holiday is not given even on sundays,
As their age is negligible for fundays.
Parents are worried not to g...

Calling Bluff
The shadows are getting smaller
You’re unable to continue to hide
You have as much luck as the cold caller
When your debt is paid, things will again be right
You’re on the way to misery
Trust me, I’m able to foresee
This fate that has become your distant destiny
One in which you’ll fall down before me
You bite the hand that helps you

Progress
There are things that
I don't understand about us.
One is how can you tell me
that you love me
when all you want to do
is change me.
You started a forest fire
that destroyed my roots
and damaged my trees.
You built concrete walls and roads
until I could no longer recognize
myself in the mirror.
"This is for progress," you said,
but all it created was cal...

In Love We Crash
At night in the office,
I watch you watch me.
The smell of coffee and vanilla
lingers like a cigarette stick
we refuse to finish.
We talk about love, life,
and all the boring intervals,
but we never really talk about us.
The coffee in the pantry
taste like old paper and broken promises.
I look at you across the elevator,
and think about all the things

We.
silly we are, humans.
we stand in front a whatever immortality.
sinners we are, human beings.
we close our eyes in front a sequence of lying mortality.
innocent we are, children.
we choose to play, pac man in a monopoly’s game.
and this continue, to be continued.

Best Friend
You were the Earth,
and I was the moon.
You were my world,
but I was just your satellite.
The dark spots in my face were scars
from catching and stealing
the sun's light
so I could brighten you up
during your darkest hours.
I spent my time revolving
around you so I could fix you,
but you couldn't see me
because you were too busy
chasing the sun.

The Season of cleanse
I hear the pitter patter outside my window
So soothing and melodic to my ears now
The rain outside is pouring down
Creating a melodic soothing sound
I again start to finally breathe
As this cleansing process sets me free
The noise it makes charms me
Often helping me see clearly
I long for Autumn to soon come around
It's the rainy season, I have found
The water trickling from the sky

How Late Is Too Late?
Act I.
From twelve midnight to twilight,
I lie down on a blanket on the rooftop,
between a bottle of wine
and my father’s old typewriter.
I am growing too careful as I age,
so when you tell me that you love me,
I pretend I don’t feel the same.
Act II.
I am unfolding. I sit at the edge of the rooftop,
surrounded by city lights and white noises.
Thirty-seven desperate missed calls.

Triptych #1: Coffee, Paper, and Storm
I.
The coffee on the table is as cold
as my hands which shiver
like tree branches during a storm.
I can’t decide
if it’s too bitter or too sweet,
but I will drink it anyway.
II.
I will write about you again,
but I know that’s not entirely true.
I will write about me too.
There will be no crumpled papers
on the floor
because even if this will turn out
as a poorly written poem,

I am Both (with audio by me)
I am not the fat girl
I am not the skinny girl.
I am both.
I am both the bingeing in the night
And the starving from pure fright.
I am both
In the mirror I am both.
I am the always too thin pile of bones
And the body too big to call home.
I am both.
In the shops I am both.
I am the girl who is too curvy to wear cute clothes

The Terror of Physical Education
It seemed you never put down your club
With the handle wrapped in cloth tape.
You patrolled the hallways, playground, and athletic fields
Like a sadistic southern sheriff overseeing slaves.
You thought “abuse of authority” was your job description
As you terrorised children with the constant threat of violence.
Each look, each word, each step you deemed unacceptable

Without A Full Stop
I remember when you leaned forward, away from me
As if i was a scarlet letter you wish you never bumped into
Back and forth busy re-evaluating all offerings on the table
I bet my name never made it to the highest scores list you've made
Cause you needed to create a whole new category for someone like me
Those strange happenstances and confused look in your eyes
Tell me, are you a little sc...

Dead Fathers
They say we carry the dead with us,
And most are surprised by the weight.
We hoist them up on our shoulders,
And imagine our strength is adequate.
But invariably we fault and stumble.
We stagger and trip and fall
We can’t see a way out of this trouble
Each partition becomes a wailing wall
We drop them in the middle of our marriage.
We trip over them when we try...

Life's Expectations
{Life's Expectations}
Life isn't what we
think or expect it
to be
Because life can be
filled with hurt, pain,
sickness, death, lying,
cheating and
bamboozled with
condensing pricks
that only seems to
think of themselves
and no one else in
life no matter how it
effects the other
person in the situation
at hand
Because my ...

Executed By You
{Executed By You}
It's strange how
it feels like I've
been executed by
you for so long now
Because in your
eyes I've done
everything wrong
but I haven't done
anything besides
loving you
But I've paid my
faults and wrongs
and dues a billion
times over with you
But the truth of it is
that you want to

Once
{Once}
Once I held his love
and affections so
deeply embedded
into my heart so it
would never apart
Until the day my brown
eyed rough tough with
the heart of perfection
left my side when an
horrible accident
happened that's when
my heart was ripped
straight out of my chest
leaving a gaping hole
there where his love
once remained at

His Love
(His Love)
His love had grabbed
her heart at first
sight and she began
to fall in love with
this man because
the poetic word's
he wrote to her
and it made her
heart rhythm
pick-up pounding
faster and faster
for him and his
word's was slowly
being engraved upon
her damaged layers
of her heart easing
her weary mind about
reopening her hea...

I need you
My love, I need you.
Here I am falling in love with the beauty of the world.
Waiting for you, as if it were the end of the world.
I do not mind the wait,
I have the time.
But I have to be honest,
I need you.
I've felt you before,
and that's fine
Someday I'll see you,
and I'll know.
And even if you do not know, it's fine.
I have love to give and loves will ...

In My Arms
I found a picture of you in my arms,
Sleeping securely, safe from harm,
As you knew it, anyway.
Your trust for me was complete,
You wanted for nothing
And thought of my love only
As often as a bird thinks of sky.
You didn’t yet know people
Can go away or even die.
I know how things changed,
But I can’t bear to think of it.
I picture you now, with your love

Headphones and Wine bottles
Not exactly dressed for the kill-
Hell, she can’t even walk
In a straight line-
But she’ll still be able to find her way
To you.
In these heels,
In those thoughts,
She dances with wine bottles
While headphones play
Some song
That had nothing to do with you.
Bare feet circle bare floors;
Bare hands hang onto
Bare walls-
Or the toilet seat.
She feels poet...

Seeking Joy
At an unprogrammed Quaker meeting
The spirit moved someone
To remind us to find our Joy.
After, a friend said she would
Find joy in a nice boy toy.
Or maybe it was a toy boy.
She said one is a boy
You’d like as a toy
And the other is something
A boy would like to play with.
We giggled at that,
And I was reminded of a joke
About a party where everyone

Real Life
She lies awake at night,
eyes wired,
frantically reading
anything, anything,
to not think about it,
to patch up the cracks,
sew up the seams,
stuff the holes with cushions
made of trash TV and Facebook,
while the mould seeps
down the bedroom wall,
letters lie ignored
re: default sum unpaid,
again.
So sick, sick
of hospital appointments,

Why won’t you write me…
Lay me down on paper…
Like your time on a string…?
Don’t speak of me…
Just, lay me down…
Not for glory, or money…
But just to help me be…
Let me be your song…
Your poem…
Let me be your love…
Your work of art…
Write me down!!!
Let every word be your sword…
Every verse your dagger…
Stab that paper with your tears…
With the silence of your fears…

Coffee Shop Blues
Bakers and coffee shops
Line the streets,
And I find myself
Nestling inside a few
To find a comfort
Only coffee beans and bacon
Can provide.
Warming cold hands
From frost;
Warming strangers to the
Idea of companionship
And togetherness.
Wholeness.
Mugs and teaspoons
Hold a special place
In my heart;
Teapots and saucers have
A special kind of solac...

Submission
No I will not submit. I will not give in to the pressures of identity. This so called impression of what supposed to be reality.
Don't mind me for i will not submit to such obscurity. Even through naive eyes you can see purity.
For this Holy War is nothing but a fools party. Domineering is this part of me, the part that wants to be set free.
Submitting is not an option for w...

I can see your face in dry paint
The answers you gave,
the truth you didn't speak,
were the things I wanted to hear.
We still have our habits,
we still live our old lives,
hiding the things that shouldn't be seen.
What do we get if our feelings hide in secrecy,
what do we do when the things we love aren't real...
Somehow I love you,
I don't know why,
I need you.
With the energy I have left,
I reach for the rem...

The morning dew is
on my shoes the birds
are chirping and singing
their tunes as the
morning sun brightens
up the sky with warm

you take a deep breath
into your lungs waiting

And

And as the birds goes

Take care too, Friend.
There are times I want
to hide from the sun too,
so I at least know how
that part feels like.
Thing is,
there's so little sun
here anyway that even
walking about in the
fresh air seems like a
being under a rock
at times.
I never not wanted
to be your friend,
ma'am and I hope
we can put this

My white and tan face fades,
hiding inside of this grayish black smoke.
I knew they'd use it against us,
dammit; the tear gas is filling the blue skies around us and as the rub bullets flies past our heads.
I'm grown I make my own decisions to fight this fight.
I'm fresh like I just rolled out of bed.

Lady Pee
Born just like any other girl, life hardly started
when something happened.
It was the drug’s fault, some type of reaction stopped her
just after she started.
Try to imagine how she went through life
not being able to do what we all can do.
To talk to her computer.
By pure willpower and by logic she managed.
Gigs came along and brought new meaning,

Cruel Refrain
For again i fall
To his charming call
A trap it may be
Its shine captures me
My heart is eaten out
My feelings headed south
Yet my affection is still his
My torture is his bliss
In his web, i lay
There came a girl one day
Ignorant of the danger
Behind the charms that linger
I could not shout
I could not call out
A fate that echos mine
A victim, next in line
It is like a cru...

These things in my head
Oh how they torment me
Feel like I'm flying in a biplane
Made of rags and wood and wire
Trying to dodge weapons that will kill me
The Red China hypersonic glide bombs
Neo Soviet Satan 2 ICBMs
Solid state lasers
Exotic alloy rail guns
All this and more aims for me
To nail me and my small plane
If I dodge one th...

The old woman says the system only works for certain people
She's right for the system really fricking sucks
In the worst possible damn way
Some people waltz right on in there
And get what they want with no worries
Like thieves in broad daylight
Not giving a hoot about being caught
While those on the list are stuck in limbo
Caught up in a system that doesn't work

Satire
Satire
Why do I care for the dead more than the living?
Is it because the living are moody
Can double cross me
Always lie to me
Ruin my day in a thousand ways
Make unreasonable demands of me
Want all my time for their demands
And so much fricking more
I made the right choice
Prioritize the dead
And satirize the living
Who will all be dead in 100 years

THE GIANT
By Eloi Chaptal
Mom, mom!
A giant tried to eat me,
He said he was very hungry.
He was as big as a bear
It’s true, I swear!
He had a forest in his nose,
And it was really gross.
Now he is looking at some random paper
But not for long, we are still in danger!
Quick, quick, while we still can,
Let’s run outside and take the van!
“What?” said mom, “Are ...

POEM by Nina Langlais
Poem
What is a Poem ?
A poem can be you,
A poem can be me,
A poem can be anything you wanted it to be
It can be a sentence,
it can be a word,
it can have nonsense,
like me in my world,
A poem is an art,
and for those who don't think so,
that's means you're just at the start of an endless raibow.
Full of colors and mystery,
Horror and fant...

poetry by numbers
numbers do not the soul touch
or rouse from depths of reverie
whose shallow sepulchral beauty
surface deep revelations aplenty
plead with matrimonial vows
parchment scribbles & ceremonies
do not a marriage make and
neither will ice cream make us
any colder after calories kick in
poetry’s soul may ride its form
but it transcends empirical parts
its triumph: Pinocchio shedding his strings

Little of Your Love
Its okay if you don't want to fall again
Love was hurtful
So you said again
Maybe its true
I feel your pain
How will I know
When I always abstain
Make me experience love
My heart cries
Make me feel love
My soul dies
Alone I have been
Looking like a Wanderer
Reality have seen
Not like a Slumberer
Searching for the perfect heart

Watch out, over there! No over there!
It's time to be alert, it's time to beware.
Time for Ghosts and Goblins and fear!
Look for witches who take to the air.
Time for monsters, spooks and storytelling.
Time to see who'll scare first, who'll be yelling.
It's Halloween time the best time of the year,
For ghost stories around a fire which crackles and sears.

I Run to Your Garden
I run through tall grasses
that outline your garden.
Allow passage through your gates.
Run over me with shear silk waters
so I can taste the bud of your flowers,
swaying in the warmth of the sun.
I climb to their top
so I can get closer to your moon
and set my soul free.

Crush me with love
Crush me with love
Never lost but never found.
Push me down from above.
Overwhelm me.
Thrust passion upon me.
With sensuality, seduce me.
Enrapture me and trap me.
To your cadence, excite me.

The Path of Life
Find time to stare.
Stare down all the paths that lead from here to there.
Take time to read the labels - be aware.
Distinguish the ones that are easy
from the ones that have no air.
Read the signs for every care.
Warning: hazardous conditions - BEWARE!
Maybe you should take that path over there.
Now imagine, throw seed to the air
Let the wind lay them where.

Right me thus.

For I am forlorn (and want to be adorned).
Write it down.
Right me now.
Write me now.
