followed by
'he's dead, my G_d he's dead'
the phrase echoed
inside the whole of me
like tennis balls bouncing between two parallel walls

aware i would be at the edge

Northward Bound
Death shadows, furious, frenzied, fought
Waiting for this wretched soul to rot
They redeemed me, tortured me, ceasing not
Crows perch upon my severed breast
Picking at the insipid flesh
Vultures of glee coo and ratify my rest
Love pierces my heart that is dead
Maddening my severed head
Feeding ones...

Valentines Day Is EverydayHer cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics
Lay on my chest like it’s a hammock
When she isn't calm
I can't stand it
Cause behaviors like these in women
Can easily become habits
It won't happen to my woman
She's in love
That's it
She can sit in the couch
Or...

My IdentityYou Armenians who question my identity...
Who whisper behind my back and smirk
Considering me a half breed
Not pure
The child of a mixed marriage
You who refuse to speak to me
In your mother tongue
Because my words falter
And my accent is disgraceful
You who turn your back on...

When they finally let God's people go
In the year 1619 was when it all started
Africans from the Motherland were permanently parted
And when in 1787 the...

Lady LibertyRatify Femininity to the nation grown from women
Women born and bred yet they still deny
How many would it take to rectify?
Maybe a man not given equal pay
When labor was the same that day
Or maybe if our society were to decay
Then what do you think they...

Beyond Judgement I Find a Reality Called AcceptanceWe see
We fall
We don’t think
We might
But we don’t decide
It’s hard for perspective
To conquer feelings
Something wrong or something right
His eyes or her eyes
Her eyes might be his eyes
And his hers
Does it matter?
Two people can
Be more than their anatomies
More than being what the world sees
Two people can...

Hubris of the EdificeAs if Narcissus could look
Into a weeping pool
Yet still on reflection fall in love
The ancient tears, which were gathered there
Around the puddle of our history
In silent memoriam
And what the heart does not see
And when the eyes refuse to see
They bury conscience in constructions of fake...

Lovers UnionShe said our marriage
Was too much like a job
While we must work to make a living
It was time she laid me off
She was sick of rules, she'd paid her dues
Said I'll see you in the hall
Then she told me that my pension
Really was a little...
