I'm just sitting by my window, staring out at the rain. Just sitting at my window, escaping my pain, but then love got a hold of me, and it felt just like a ball and chain. That's exactly what it felt like, dragging me down. Why does every single thing I hold on to have to go wrong....

No mirror shows reflection were it not for light and dark, that which surrounds and enfolds us, warms and chills our inner – the deeper degrees of being. Numbers, weights and scales are our own inventions, for God keeps no such account, seeing only, who walks in with us, and how we arrived – Our internal image charged by those oscillating fuels of...

Ball and Chain
It seems all I know how to do is cry, It hurts so deep I feel like I'm going to die. A smile never comes I sit and frown, I can't get HIGH I can only come down. It's hard to believe I'm going to be ok...

Hostage to fortune, prisoner of time Trophies a burden, polished and shined Greed but a jailer, freedom denied Hope in confinement —wishing a crime (Dreamsleep: October, 2021)...

Hassan harbours hard-worn hardship in his heavy homeless heart Drones dereliction devastation and dire disintegration of daring dreams Dear daughter dead at dawn Delisiha demised dismembered decapitated Harbingers of hell in heaven heaving with helter-skelter and hatred Skinny skull surreal surrender to salvation and suffering’s solitude His maimed mind meanders towards Mecca’ mid-morning mist ‘Mohammed my Master mould my misery...

My Ball and Chain
When you hurt so much inside with pain You carry around a type of ball and chain It reminds you of everything in the past Like reading the Moon’s weather forecast Nothing bright or special childhood time No one wants to listen to hurt it’s all mine I was scared from the inside out as I shout Can it end I’m to...

Ball and Chain Pt 2
Do you ever wonder if you're alone? We're simply here in a world of "unknown" Do you ever walk miles just to hear your steps?

Ball and Chain
well, there you go, sweetheart; i have done it at last - the unthinkable, the reckless, the bold and possibly suicidal thing... i have gritted my teeth and hurled myself out into the void, into all those endless miles of frigid soul-sucking vacuum that stretch, echoing, fatal, between us; i have broken all taboos, all our...
