World is not beautifulWar isn’t new. Our world has been bleeding for centuries, crimson rivers running beneath the cities we call beautiful, masked by glass towers and neon lights. They build malls on buried bones, schools on scorched earth, paved roads across old battlefields where children once fell. This isn’t a fresh wound—it’s a festering one, hidden beneath...

Pixie within the pinkPixie within the pink
let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance
Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets.
Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...

Inizio - Introduzione Alla ViolenzaQuesto è l’inizio
del Gioco
che piace a noi Perdenti:
innocuo inchiostro
riversato copioso,
di anatemi imbrattate
pagine sprecate
da chi dispensa vendetta
senza metterci la faccia.
Ma a quale scopo?

STUPIDO LIBRO,
IMMONDO PARTO CESAREO,
VEDRAI SOLO LA LUCE DEL FUOCO
CIRCONDATO DA MILLE Occhi Spenti…

Childhood Affects AdulthoodParents mold their children just like a pan to a cake
How ever you're instructed gives your life it's shape
What you're taught as a child you will never forget
Understanding the morals of others...
You will have a fit
Down from your failures to your major accomplishments
Learning responsibility on a job to timely paying your rent
Clueless that your parents...

The Horse Stable
‘Live in the moment’ they say
but it's hard on a winter's afternoon,
inside, warm in a comfortable chair
when the mind drifts, wanders off
to find a park somewhere
at the end of a childhood street.
Dragonflies patrolling the hot, pine
scented air and sunk in the shade,
an abandoned stable thick in spider
webs and behind a half door,
a long,...

Goodnight Moon - the StampGoodnight Moon
a children's book by Margaret Wise Brown
the subject of my poem and my latest stamp purchase
was also a book that I read to my son
when he was little
not thirty-three, like he is now
forgive my forgetting the details
the book is no longer on my shelf
but in the story
it's bedtime for a little rabbit
who says goodnight...

How I Spent My SummerWhen summer's over, ask what I did.
Did I visit Paris or Madrid?
Nope, I flew a red kite,
admiring its swift flight,
while I skipped and jumped just like a kid....

I Am From pt1I was born and raised in my house, which isn’t home.
At heart, I am from the orange brick house in Westridge Farms
Where I never even lived
There, the pawprints I stamped on the driveway may have long since washed away
But I still left my mark
Even if it was just in the eyes of the horses that...

blood and inkas a child i often found myself participating in sadistic activities.
i felt my sins rotting into my body-
into my soul as-well my veins.
it kept my blood pumping throughout my body that i did neglect.
i protested against consuming meals as if they’d make me feel holy again,
sick i was.
the blood that clawed out...

Smiles Of Childhood Days
A sudden drizzle gushed along the street,
That I wiggled out , romping and playing
In my cotton jumpshirt as summer cooled,
To allow a downpour of monsoon rain.
Swerving through puddles where debris
Gathered around little tots' feet,
Our lithe bodies slip-skidded, glided
On a roller-coaster ride of muddy suds... what fun!
Then, I picked dingy...

Daring Distance Gracing Gap
It is a weird one,
To keep gracing distant sun...
While moon could bail fun.
Dry lips are so tight,
To put words up at such sight
Daring distant fright.
While principles flow...
Yet couldn't keep deeds off blow,
In reality's show.
Why not dare decide,
One your past truly confide
Shouldn't be denied?
