Small things like these-

Staring out the window,  

Feeling the warmth of the sun on the face,  

Eyes gleaming, twinkling with quiet excitement.  

Goosebumps rise on the skin,  

Aflame with forgotten vigor.  

Small things like these-

The cold touch of water,  

Toes twitching in the bath,  

Awakening to the gentle brush of hands,  

Blood rushing to the face,

their etheric karma

manifesting the

good intentions, of

Personal Truth

when the sun goes down, and

the lights go out at night

lightning never strikes the same place twice

however, once in a while you wonder…How?

What does it take to get peace around here?

Do I whisper my secrets to the wind and finally feel a sense of relief?

Do I face the mountains and pray for redemption as rocks plummet down from a mountainside?

Do I wash in lakes full of water lilies and drink dew from their leaves?

Or do I give in to chaos and disappear fully into banishment...

It's almost Christmas,

It's snowing and snowflakes twirl in the winter sky.

My roof has caved in, a heavy sigh

As beams and rafters begin to cry.

It's raining and there's fog in the distance,

The rain is a gentle patter on windowpanes,

And from my window, I see lights twinkling on and off inside the fog,

Each blink a whisper, a light in the heart.

It's a sight to behold ind...

Faces,

Desperate faces,

Blank faces,

Resigned faces,

Passive faces,

Tired faces,

Shamed faces,

Stare at walls,into nothingness.

From the brink of the universe, from the edge of a cliff.

Nearly plunging deep into the ocean, sinking into the quiet of the night

It's like a near-death experience.

I fear mine is one of them,

In fact, I possess all.

Boxing day

A day of cheer

Till his lucky boxers

Disappear

A desperate search 

Both high and low 

He can't back down 

Nowhere to go

The fight draws near

The crowd awaits 

Without his shorts 

It's left to fate 

He's fearing failure 

Doubt creeps in

Without his shorts 

How can he win?

I heard my mother say it today,

And she could not be more right.

Yes, it is true

I killed my dream; I died a long time ago.

I was hanging out with Mark,

Their house has a large backyard.

His father has an orchard,

And I like apples.

I've eaten too many apples I fear there are none left on the trees,

Just like my dreams and hopes for a once bright future.

Could a miracle befall me?

Me who hopes and then cries?

Me who sees and then ignores?

Me who chooses the lone road every time?

Me who sings shrilly but no soul hears?

Me who sins and never displays penitence? 

Me who reiterates the same blunder and it's like groundhog day?

Me who gets beaten up and is still ignorant?

Me who puts others first?

Through the eyes of a stranger,
I walk the crowded streets,
My thoughts hidden behind
A façade of indifference.
Always writing under breath
Each step the rhythm of a song

I listen for the murmurs,
The stories left half-told,
And with borrowed breath,
I weave their words into verse,
A silent chronicler,
Of lives intertwined.

Beneath the surface of each face,

I was sitting beneath a magnolia tree in the park today,

I watched as a bird landed on a branch full of large, leathery leaves and pink flowers,

How it landed with its wings spread out proud,

Those elliptical, alluring wings that shame the rainbow,

Left me feeling mirthful, 

And I watched as it's tiny talons,

Firmly perched on the green,wet boughs

I am awake now, not to the world, not to anything at all, just awake,

Eyes open and that's all,

I keep hoping I'll experience a moment of enlightenment,

But the thing about hope, it kills,

So I decide to lie down,

On that battered bed, with a dirty linen,

Tap…tap…tap, the water patters,

It's murky and I can almost smell it.

Sometimes, you learn to be frugal, humble,and patient,

Sometimes, life beats you down so hard you can't get up,

It shreds you into pieces that take forever to piece back together.

Piece by piece, you glue,

Only to come undone, for your tears are stronger than your will,

Brimming with them, they cut and cut,

Leaving behind an empty and aching heart ,

Partially because he touched me,

He touched my arms, my hair, the nape of my neck,

He bit my cheeks,

That's probably why I can't stop smiling .

You ever feel like the world is moving backwards?

Like the days don't ever end?

Like the nights prolong and steal the light of day?

Like reality merges with your imagination,

And now, now you don't even know what is real anymore?

Now, all you see is the darkness,

That hovers over the earth,

That clouds your mind and soul,

That whispers sadness into the world.

The word and I cannot coexist
I try to say it
I try to say it when it's late and i'm alone
When the only person who can hear me
Is me
But
It sticks in my throat
Turns my mouth to ash
Chokes me until tears stream
And the word is lost in my brain

So

I try to think it when the words fail
When I think that maybe if I can recignize it
Then it can't hurt me

Memories and emotions that seem to flood your heart

There's something about this season, Spring
Waking up to birds as they, sing
Trees and its blossom show subtle, pinks
Clouds and rain, for thr earth now drinks
The sun reappears, having such a glow
As if it were trying to say, hello
I go to the garden to walk around
To see what other things are found
Butterflies with their colorful wings
How this season holds such beautiful, things.

Jogs in the winter sun around the area,

Talking to a mate
Thinking what we have done and future plans
Good and bad times we know await.

Never mind harsh words of a person, their actions could never worsen

serving consecutive life sentences
three meals,
the confines of jail time
three strikes,
and they are never letting you get out
they throw the book at you
like a caged animal
preying,
...as it lands on a page that says
a message from god
sins written on — listed off, and then
sent across the hall to your distant friend again

a life of recycling license plates
crime pays for the chip...

cut from a different cloth
dyed in the wool you pulled over your eyes

you made your bed now lie on it
tomorrow
is a wonderful day to die innit

I dress my wounds
and wear my heart on my sleeve
with cuff links & fingers crossed

Thought,

outside the realm of possibilities

Chaos …

beyond belief:

and great faith.

where did I put those car keys,
I think I have had one too many,
loss of memory —
and this
drug habit
has me... grabbing my head
trying to
get a grasp on my own sanity

The cup that broke housed a thought.

                     A nascent bud, not blooming yet!

But the hand of chance with the pot,

                  Filled the cup with a different fate!

Smiling lips drank up the infusion.

                  Tho' the process of a nascent mind,

Failed to make that thought sustain!

                      A shattered cup was left behind!

I lost a rhyme

Somewhere in time 

One that nestled

In my soul

It left a scar

A dying star

Could not replace 

The light it stole

I searched my mind

But could not find

Why my soul

Set it free

Perhaps my sadness 

My internal madness 

Showed no joy

Would ever be

So, if one day

It should come your way

Give it my love

And regre...

The scorching heat of Sun,

children playing in ponds and having fun.

The temperature may rise,

and if you are enjoying it.

You are also wise.

That is Summer!

The feel of blowing wind,

And because of the sweat,

our bodies get thinned.

and my sister’s flying hair.

And if we go out too much,

our skin gets dark from fair.

That is Summer!

In deserts it i...

dispelling of a curse
wards off
unknown entities
who try their hand at automatic writing

ghosts, haunters, 
“en animant” in specters
instruments crescendoing
as the light abandons us

no ones home,
signs that say to go away

Every night i lie in bed

dozen scenarios in my head

thinkin bout how and what and when and where

every night you'll find me there

in my head

my secret place

in my mind 

my safest space

all those things i never find

confidence? 

i'd rather hide 

brave enough? not the case 

but in my mind 

my safest space 

i can be what i cannot

i can ...

You touch me with your cold hands that have touched too many.

Finally making me feel seen and desirable.

As I gaze intently into your eyes, I notice you are not searching to see my soul.

You are simply seeing the face and lips that lie before you.

I hold hunger to be in your world, you only hold hunger to be in my body.

Although when you hold me tight, everything seems to be alrigh...

Queenship and Kingsman
The terms of endearment
scroll …
And, read through it

Except,
what’s in the fine print …

Maid of Honor …

If you would,
please …
As the left hand of the queen
swear your loyalty
