Mind creates pearls Of things that prick, memories That jab,stories That can tear apart. Mind decides to cloud The ugly that stares right at the face, swath it in sparkling shawls Dress up the grotesque, the painful Decides not to believe what is clear as the day Decides to live with what pricks What stabs. [...]
Fire burned,burn Burn to cinders, life Disapears, fading Fading,fading Now a mere shadow With no meaning Growing cold,cold Like a a broken wing,helpless Scared,scared Fragile, breaking Life ceases breathing Slowly,slowly Yet surely Tick,ticking life Ticks away,gradually Like a dying man’s heart Stops beating.
Mermaids’ tears Lie glistening,glittering jewels on the sand These tears do count,yet these maids of the sea Have stone cold hearts,they could not feel. What happens to the tears we cry? The we who feel,the we who hurt Do they gleam? Do they glisten in the sun? Does anyone see? Do they even count? The [...]
Rain drizzled, they said That the little rascal drops caressed the tinkling leaves Tickled the tree bark nipples, aroused The sleeping world. Rain teased Cascaded in silvery streams, they said That rain was exquisite, and that Rain soothed. Bull crap I’d say Rain screamed, As its putrefactive juices overflowed From its long aching wounds As bloated cloud bellies swollen [...]
Perfection reeks, coils around Serpentine fake smiles Hiss. Hollow words Drop. Emotionless eyes Devour. They Seek to lure. A mind Perches on a leafless branch Barren. And wonders Where have all the flowers gone Empty words Resonating through the ears,comforts Provokes that first angry word Directed at a sincere heart,a poisoned dart First dazes,then paralyzes [...]
I am paper Blank, yielding paper I am yours To scrawl hearts all over, to scribble, to paint To ruin, to burn Burn to cinders. I am yours To tear up in pieces Crumple up, walk all over As you see fit When you see fit.
Night closes in, smothers The living with its heavy, wet blankets Of tears, of longing Presses to the face in all its dexerity That sly, ugly thing, suffocates As breath quickens and Slowly comes to a halt. When smiles don’t brighten the day, when The dawn breaks glass splinters All over the face, when all [...]
Perhaps tomorrow it will sting less The indifference would be replaced by care Perhaps I shall be greeted with a smile And loving words, oh How it would make me smile! Perhaps and perhaps not, Oh I don’t know This life’s fickle wriggling about shall Crush me to bits me one of these days. I [...]
Darkness came Yes it came, on an unsuspecting day Uncharacteristically nimble on its great clawed feet. It whispered Through its clenched teeth, hateful whispers Abominable whispers Its breath stank of wasted lives, its spit tasted of minds lost It whispered, sent thousand spiders scuttling through the ears, A mind whimpered As spiders spun their crafty [...]
Dark clouds creep in, threaten To throttle the horizon, thunder growls Lightning menaces It already struck once, once upon a time Almost killed But we live with the belief That it never strikes the same place twice. Coldness reigns, chills the bones, indifference Oh indifference, carry me away Did lightning strike again? I hope not, because [...]
Future smiles with outstretched arms I, Run like a child,seeking warmth Of its mother’s safe arms. But in my careless haste,sometimes I scratch myself on the briers that line my way I trip,feet bound with lies, I fall In to snares laid with deceit, Run a stake or two through the heart, I bleed I cry, I [...]
How many secret tears to be shed Until these drops are kissed goodbye? How many barbed wires to be licked With a bleeding tongue that dare not miss Already marked with traversing scars. How many more good friends to be lost? How many years will pass us by? Trapped within suffocating walls Of stinking corpses [...]
How do I say this? How do I convey in coherent means This booming tune that plays in my depths? How do I describe it? This doleful, restless tune That does not translate in to words? In what language does sorrow sing? What syllables do loneliness utter? What letters can spell raging, venomous indifference That twists and turns creating [...]
The sun Mocks and teases, brings one to their knees Licks the face with its fiery tongue Burns, comforts, The warmth. Alone Watched the essence of life evaporate In the infernal, dreary fog of the mind. Behind The glazed eyes, the words, the smiles There hides an emptiness that words cannot define. The distance Grows, familiarity fades [...]
Overcast skies, wrought With pain,clouds Writhed in agony,lashed out Blasphemy in silvery light Drilled holes Through their injured bodies Thunder groaned, havoc broke Ripped the sky apart, spat out A wailing, churlish babe from a mother’s womb. Water broke. A tortured butterfly wing Stabbed, chopped and crushed, shivered Trembled on to the earth, twisting And [...]
Coils round and round, chokes The breath, this serpentine mind Hisses sweet lethargic rhymes, peeps in From behind mossy piles of work, this uncouth child. Flowers in hair,tinkling Laughter echoes down the hall, shaking Autumn leaves from her skirt, she bares These fear serpents by the tail, devours them whole. Lures Mortals with her siren chants, leads [...]
Yesterday I felt your absence, Right beside me, like a perilous drop From which I edged away, fearing for life. Emptiness overwhelmed, overthrew What little sanity was left, as Hip hop beats pelted all around Like paralyzing darts at a Sore, swollen heart. Have you ever felt how lonely, how barren These club beats make […]
They rose from amongst the yellowing leaves And the fallen twigs of yesterday’s showers They fed on despoiled flower petals That lay weeping on the muddied ground. They borrowed the gold from the specks of dust That float about in the evening sun rays Lightning gave them life and wind Gave them flight to set [...]
Maybe one day Purple balloons shall carry me away I shall fight those who make me unhappy Embrace those who make me smile Maybe one day The lies of the past would make sense and it would hurt less Eventually, Stop beating myself up knowing that I let myself be fooled, Understand That nothing is for [...]
Rainy afternoons Smelling of wet earth, hot coffee And books Quiet evenings Of fluttering pages and somnolent fantasies In pale light filtered Through pregnant clouds and Green leaves burdened With the juice of the sky. When suddenly, you breeze in Piercing through the cascade And splatter upon my skin Fragrant and serene Like a forgotten [...]
