Ocean
I am a glass of water he sees right through me yet nothing to him is crystal clear. I thought he knew me but all my depths are shallow to him, I fear. I drown in my own feelings gasping his name, but he cannot hear that it's him I'm calling out for all the same. I ache from words forced to stay unspoken until the space between us spans out of...

On a Jukebox That Remembers Me
I met ANGIE in a bar where grief drank quiet, where HONKY TONK WOMEN spilled perfume and regret. She moved like WILD HORSES with nowhere left to run— said, “I’m safer UNDER MY THUMB than out in the open.” She kissed like a dare and left like smoke. On RUBY TUESDAY, she vanished into rain, murmuring, “YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT...

"Departure" In the majestic curves of galactic arms we choose to dissolve all war and hate we venture forth fast away from primeval captivity into the unknown welcoming cardiomegaly of It what waits like Kaa wrapped around our scorched fate beckoning our inner worlds like glowing orbs we are swallowed into the burning crystal ball Its starry gates open like god-like...

Fade
Fade into the void, pale and unseen, a whisper of silence, dim murmured echo. Unheard and unremarked, an absent fragment, of drifting haze, that lingers unseen. Fragile, easily shattered, weightless and distant, an obscure hollow, of faint gray dust. Blurred empty thought, foggy and fractured, like an unfelt sigh, flickering invisible in the murk. O veiled shadow of former self, ashen phantom of better days, am I but a fleeting shade, doomed by fate to wilt and...

Truth At Heart
Whom am I in the endless plot of fate? Your perfect perfection used as bait. Whom am I to reject perfection’s grace, Amidst my turmoil in karma’s embrace. I sought not, yet there you stood, A calm in my storm, I never understood. You were the answer to my whispers unheard, A soft light to which my shadow was led. An eternity I...

Xhosa pool
#Xhosa_pool Today I fell into a Xhosa pool, still grappling with my recovery, my shivering mind. In there something epic hides, an enormous emotional drainage. Feel robbed off weight, side and focus. I lost so much in there, part of me that still refuse to return. In there I met beast of beauty, my lungs palpitates,...

Sardine for Beans
Peaches and pies, apples mixed with steamed rice Come and have dinner with me tonight; my stomach is growling, and my appetite is rising There is nothing on the table to eat except passion fruits That fell from the tree and sour mango cream But tonight I have something special for you And it will make your dream come...

All my friends are round And their hair is gray I can hardly walk On class reunion day I'd be safe and warm If I'd stayed in bed today Class reunion dreamin' Oh what a telling day Fell down in a lurch When stumbling 'long the way Well, I got up on my knees And there I was...

The theater at the end of the world
The red curtains lift and the day begins The sun steps up, introducing herself Most of us don’t dare to look at her directly a whispering wind enters declaring that the world is ending today In this abandoned theatre The last place humans are We sit enjoying the play with a glorious farewell performance from...

It’s always been yours
I sometimes wonder if the path I was meant to take was predetermined, was the word destiny birthed to be my hopeless shackles. The person I am is a result of what’s around me, but you would never really know what truly arouses me. I take a step...

Nothing Is What It Seems
The world shows us one thing, but behind it, something darker lives. We’re told stories shaped by power, not truth. They write history to fit their plans. They call it help, but it's control. Rich men send poor men to die in wars over land, oil, and power. And we believe it's for freedom. Every minute, a man takes his own life. Every day. But where’s the...
