Feel Elated With This Sincere, Affectionate Embrace

...Is fear a threat to being even lonelier,
not too sure of being hugged, sheltered
and assured that harm can be prevented;
do bedsheets offer protection to a trembler
whose only hope is to find a c...

A High Rain

...Yesterday was hot, it nailed
its peeling skin to a desiccated air.

This morning, rain is falling,
but it has yet to land -
a weightbearing sky creaks
though it does not break.

Above straini...

Folded Promise

...She wears rainbows in her almond curls
and paints her eyelids with green swirls.
Her cheeks blush with innocent pearls
Soft as her favourite fruit- strawberries.

Mascara wand in her fingers cas...

...
the thought of you is consuming me
even as I consume content
on how to communicate with you.

I’m avoiding you li...

Celibate Sinner

...I scrubbed the shame from under my fingernails,
as if guilt could be washed like dirt.
Cold showers never baptized the ache; 
just gave it discipline,
a neat little collar for the beast inside.

Sex on My Mind

...It started when I saw you
Those seductive eyes
Those luscious lips
That pretty little smile...
Those tasty looking hips...
I wanted to kiss you,
I wanted to taste you...
I wanted your body on ...

The Night They Came

...We were five in the room,
Mama whispered her last prayer before bed,
the fan turned slowly, tired like the rest of us.
It was just another night
stars above, silence below.
Then the silence crac...

GIRLCROOSH: INSTRUCTIONS ON FINALLY FEELING OKAY

...Try to get out of bed early, try to make your bed. Inhale.  
Your off-white bedsheets haven’t been washed in a month.
Try purchasing a new detergent, one of those that’s petal-scented:

What is Love

...Love is the sound of your coffee brewing early in the morning
Love is Autumn leaves forming and falling on a brisk evening
Love is the warmth from the tea mug you savor before bed
Love is wrapping...

Stale Bread

...He starts with the natural order of things,
thinks
wash bedsheets,

been pushing chores aside -
that's just natural.

Done with saccharine,
from now on

Anywhere But Here

...I've shoved everything into the corners of my room,
And now there are little bits of everything that I can't seem to get rid of, scattered across my carpet.
And there are cobwebs hanging from the c...

Saturday Morning

...I awoke to the sound of rustling leaves
As the wind murmured its sweet nothings
My window was a canvas of silhouetted trees
And the liquid gold only sunlight brings

The air in my room was warm ...

Conception

...The day is conceived,
tossed bedsheets birth landscapes.

Apelike, a grin gawps.

In the backroom of a slow thought
I dress for breakfast -
recall the tropics,
sticky rice, coconut milk and

A Bed's Duty

...A Bed’s Duty

I begin your day and end it too,
Decorated by bedsheets and pillows new,
Massage your head till your eyes won't open,
It's harder to do then it's spoken,
A layer of comfort envelo...

Cream Filled Pastries

...A sweet fragrance pierced the air
As I hold on to this moment.
Awaking at last to lonesome bedsheets
As I hear movement from within the kitchen. 

I arise to a foggy atmosphere
being probed by ...
