Truthfully,
I struggle to be free.
Unbearably,
Some strive to see a sinking sea.
Anger wraps around my shoulder.
I pray; I don’t get bolder.
The world, estranged, keeps getting colder.
It’s been forever; I’m still a sailor.
Curiously,
I’ve been chained in eternity.
Amazingly,
They die in an ocean of uncertainty.
Sails descend upon my shoulder.
I pray I won’t get bolder.
The world, afflicted, stares in wonder.
It’ll be forever; I’ll be a sailor.
In an immeasurable expanse of digital space
Our connection glinted with an amazing grace
with every word, my heart feels a blazing flame
and this I acclaim!!!
Such a pace,
with no chase, just an interlace.
This I acclaim!!!
I would not trade the feeling for anything
if it means abstaining,
Darling that's what I am doing.
your dreams and aspirations, I long to know
your perfect, imperfections.
Your smile, I long to see with my eyes set on yours
your laugh, I long to hear
Closer to my ear.
I am appetised for your touch,
Like your hands had an excursion on my body before.
Take the credits
I just can tell, that you can do it right.
I wanna get lost into your soul,
be your safest space.
I wanna crave your energy,
whenever you are out of reach.
I cannot wait to set my eyes on you,
and fall in love all over again.
With each glance, steal a heart once again.
That's a high, I am patiently waiting for.
Aficionados here and there,
People craft, lead and build.
Those traders are teasers of the wind,
Sail and sail, draft and rate,
Be your own rafter till you lead the machines.
Magician of genius,
Roundtables of roundabouts,
Wheel and chain wheel every unshielded process,
Superhuman intellectuals fragmenting puzzles of equations,
Build this new cybernetics!
Nemesis are the rivals of each creationists.
Mechanics are our homepage.
Ah, twas only by a fluke conversation,
whence a speech pathologist
informed my parents about
the Lancaster Cleft Palate clinic,
where oral an examination
revealed minor birth defect
identified as a submucous cleft palate,
which explained the severe pinched twang
somewhat mitigated by wearing
a removable prosthetic
fashioned by Prosthodontist
Dr. Mohammad Mazaheri MSC, DDS
fastened with clasps to upper teeth
whereby a makeshift miniature
plastic protuberance closed the gap
so air would be prevented
passing thru my button nose
and thus gentle and soft as a shutterfly
shunted air out thee oral opening
though congenital defect disallowed
returning merchandise back to sender
nor could blame be affixed
at either father nor mother
who both harbored the genetic mutation
now such admissions
re: aforementioned impediment allows,
enables and provides boasting rights
if in a mood to temper
any curiosity or satisfying a rumor
whispered down the alley,
whence I said “ah”
left nagging nincompoops
as if pie hole filled with a gobstopper.
a short time ago
an aficionado
was born out
of need
became
engrossed
within the
inner workings
of this beings
broken-down
self
tried to urge
the mind to
change it's
self-concept
this proved to
be difficult feat
to achieve
