Social DysphoriaI admit to my defeat ...
I've been vanquished.
No other loss I've ever known,
Has left me this anguished.
What makes it worse is
Not knowing who really beat me.
As they were invisible and anonymous,
Begging the question, ' How can that be '?
Well...

The Body Possession Feeling
In the flowing darkness of the delirious night
I saw once my being sink with my essence escaping,
get dissipated in dissociative domain of ethereal ether
where I heard the sound of the distant bells toll faintly,
masking the music of my life’s violin fading away
in stalled time’s deadly depth of smothering silence. ...

I’d not compose utter rot.

ReciprocatedReciprocated.
Unrequited love, the feeling I’ve felt every time I fall for an individual. It’s a feeling that stays hidden at first but slowly becomes a reality, a reality that the love you are giving isn’t being reciprocated back to you . It’s like a one-sided echo in the halls of my heart,
a silent song sung...

FateFate by Adejola Joseph
Fate
Circumstances beyond control
The unavoidable scourge of the unknown
The indescribable
The unfathomable
The unpredictable
Fate.
Fate is unknown
Who can tell a child what his mother is cooking for a dinner in the morning?
Fate....

Inner voices sound disturbedInner voices sound disturbed
Behave yourself sent via thoughts
Sleep has deserted me, so confused
Time to visit long ago scenes
Find my friends of time gone by
I find myself on the pathway of ocean views
Crashing waves and sea gull calls greet me
No one around to view my crazy antics
Facing the ocean, arms open wide, calling out names
A voice...

BiteThrobbing, concave marks
adorn my skin—records of
your hunger, sated only by
the meat of
my body.
Though the pain is sweet—craved,
fulfilling—and my blood rushes
to provide you with drink,
my head—detached,
neglected—wanders.
Tell me, if the flesh fell away
like tender rib meat off of the bone—
would you still ache to sink your teeth
into the me
that remained?...

Poetic Chop SticksThe muse has no fingers
Possesses no internal abacus
Cannot fathom fractious patterns
…take one word from line A
And two from line B
Skip line C
Use it as line D
Drop C into C
With six you get Egg Roll

a hazy perspective and the need for clarityI have no sense of time,
the pride from my accomplishments
is as null as the concept of permanence,
besides the fog —
seeping into my mind
as deep as the proverbial soul within me.
in the mist of what is left of myself,
the only depth i can catch...

Mind like wiresHer mind was beautiful
Like wires
At the back of those old TVs
A riot of colors, ideas criss-crossing
Bouncing off one another, melting, melding
Beautiful like a rainbow.
There was no straight connection
To the relay of things, she said.
And her face, her face!
Varied more constantly than weather patterns
Depending on what channel she was on
What high! But it was her mind
That...

Wings and Wounds
Like birds flying high over the world,
Words of love never unheard.
Loud voices echo through different phases,
No mistakes.., Just choices in these mazes.
Walking threads, edge tight like a judge,
Told me, “Be strong. Don’t budge.”
They speak of light at tunnel's end,
But what about the road we defend?
The morals we bend,
The lives we...
