I Am From pt1
I 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...

I've made up my mind going to clean out the attic today leaving nothing but cobwebs behind... photos of people without names car seats -chrome tables - baby rattle snakes dented pots and pans a guitar slouches in the corner without hands dreaming of chords never woven songs never molded from clay. It's all just ex-rated anyways it's all just excess anyway. Things of...

Man of mercy
He was a man who knew how to knock out another man. Against amateurs, there was just no match for him. 4 years of tough man competitions, he walked away with the title everytime.   I worked with him for over 10 years and had many talks about boxing. He told me about how he got to spar Tyson...

Shattered Dreams In The Sky
Dreams were shattered like glass shards, As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death. Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards, Extinguished were the candles of their breath. A wife was on her way to meet her spouse, While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad, Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house, As the passengers were destined to embark...

A eulogy for the me I had to kill to survive
A eulogy for the me I had to kill to survive She lay in a casket I was the killer But was it really me? When the world gripped her hand and told her to kill her blackness She stared in a mirror Full of sadness Knowing she would kill her last bit of innocence So did I...

When We Say Goodbye
When we say goodbye, Time will not stand still. Life moves on as it always has, Forsaking my own will. Don’t try to feel sad— I’ll know it’s all a lie. You didn’t love me while alive; Don’t pretend to care when I die. I was a burden to so many, In my youth and old age. I’d rather go out quietly Than force a false...

They called it a seat, but it was a cradle of fire— metal-wrapped, bolted shut, no window, just the hum of wires and the memory of old Moscow snow still clinging to your pads. They fed you well and fastened you in with practiced hands that trembled only later. You blinked once— trusting, calm— a good girl ascending where no stray should go. The capsule ticked like a settling house— soft clicks...

Without walls
There's a place without walls. For those who swear that they are floors. and oh how they die like a flowers bloom they lie so still in forgotten tombs (It's not to late to care) Oh how I miss the lunar gloom back when stars filled the sky with forgotten tunes. Come and take my hand don't be afraid. here are all...

Lost in thought
I tend to get lost back at the beginning, such a beautiful end. I don't need to be in love I can just pretend. I walk open handed on endless beaches leavening shallow footprints for someone to find. My imagination runs wild on the winds of maybe. I get lost in forever skies, leading me away. never wanting to find the...

THE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL Time longer than rope Chokes hearts dangling In the reality of struggle:- Grieving mothers and widows Veil their grief in sagging bosoms As they wail in excruciating silence:- Fragments of men, void of hope, View and count communal graves Swelling with dirt burying the dead:- (Buried are “The Wretched Of...
