When cowardice were the fleas on my Virgin hair, i told myself foolish truths My being acted out scenes of my thoughts, an evasive power Till i mused at these patterns I sensed doors Which is an ear Also an obedient soldier Eavesdropping on my most sacred reflections Carrying out orders i swore i never […]

I’m telling you this is not it, the walls are smooth and slippery It brings sleep right on time. The scent of food is heavenly it makes full, satisfying with a rhyme Fool; Growing here is so nostalgic it brings music of fun so quick. How we grew from seeds to tree written in every […]

The sky is the ground Wind is the sun the grasses are birds whispering love to mate with hate. I have fed my will with visions of fury scented with imperfect’ acolyte. The desired path is laced with gory Everything draws its strength from the night. Headless mammals live in fear they will be the […]

Paradox is the title of our song Parallel lies our destiny Yet in our separate lives In our claustrophobic corners In the serenity of our lonesomeness We ponder; and his heart says to mine Could this be…? Look into the water and tell me what you see He said to me And i thought […]

Oh yea Elephant of the sky whose ears flap around its shadow. I hail thee, demon of the night whose shade is intimate with the ground. How ugly you look closer but so beautiful from afar. I love your whispers more it becomes fragments of words at night. Oh yea great Elephant how you look […]

A field of flowers is a colorful light- A disorganized splash […]

One day had a poem knitted in scary silence, until noon broke the hush of this blurry silence. Scattering the fragments of whispers in day, in raging questions they are on a stormy silence. Twice I called the moon to their thoughts, but all in a word was liquid of teary’ silence. The dead life […]

One more word and she was wan Two minutes is all it took, the tension grew Three burns then three kisses, obeying love’s decree Four full moons, these bruises must score Five fingers folded into a fist, we fought for love’s live Six pants and six sighs, there’s nothing a French kiss cannot fix Seven […]

In my mind it plays Humming silently for days Mind, hand, pen and paper contravene Maybe they settle under morning rays As events unfold Memory mind holds Words come to form Eyes closed to bask Imagery the norm Distant chirp, warm Honking horns, serene Leaves in alphabet mask Muse can’t be contained in a cask […]

The walls of these knees are cracked …[T]urning into debris. The eyes that these hills attract, The tears are begging to be free Here is the place my voice stood Humming songs of shame Helping a belief in falsehood Hoping heaven would remember my name. Evening passed and the morning died Exacting same pain Every […]
