When I was still smoking two packs a dayWhen I was still smoking two packs a day,
struggling each morning to hack the phlegm away,
my wife would get down on her knees and beg me to quit,
that's how afraid she was I was gonna die from that sh-t.
And so I'd say, "For you, Honey, anything, okay?
Just not today.”...

Deepest Darkest DepressionIn the deepest darkest depression, a void where stars expire, A mind adrift in cosmic gloom, no orbit to aspire. No comet’s blaze, no planet’s course, no light to guide the way, A nebula of shattered thoughts, where hope has bled to gray.
Within this skull, a black hole reigns, where memories collapse, Each fleeting dream,...

REMORSING OF DEVILREMORSING OF DEVIL
False promises and fancy talks,
You are narcissist and not God.
Fools try to make other fools,
Believing that they seem cool.
Dawn to dusk mind has a fight,
Perplex life and has no light.
Empty hands and filled eyes.
Dead man moving here and there,
Justice of cosmos is very rare.
Hurting heart and breaking belief,
yeah!!! you...

First ResponderAs the world tends to go around
I look up at the sky, from the ground
Can't shake this feeling of how blue it can be
So, I ask myself why has God chosen me
Don't get me wrong it a beautiful thing
To be chosen by the creator like an angel with wings
Then, out of the light comes the...

Holding the Matcheswe find life in moments within nature
in the rain
or the thunder that soon follows
in a bushfire
from the trees that became hollow
but she brings her own life
and i find it incredibly peaceful
like rain on a tin roof
sometimes it's a loud love
like a bike at full throttle
she's lightning in a bottle
energetic and explosive
but not all...

SummerI've strolled the boardwalk in hopes of taming the beast countless times.
When the phone betrayed me, the ocean was a friend like no other.
Crushing my hate on the grains of sand on a balmy August night without second thought.
Self doubt, disbelief, and time unlimited will torture in ways unimaginable.
Fear is heavy to the man who...

Dot Dot DotWhat do you do
when your head feels like
a million pounds,
your chest is buried
underground,
where worms and slugs
and filth abound,
and rocks compound overhead,
compounding a heaviness
which even the heaviest cannot heave.
Where mere moments make a millennia
of torment -
For sleepless nights
make endless days
and endless days make immortality -
And mine is underground
Far
Far
Underground
Where hell itself...

Fire of AnxietyI watched every twig, every stick,
carefully placed -
I watched
Every branch left its mark,
playing its part like a symphony—
melodies whispering notes of peace,
while harmonies voice the dissonant echoes of war--
So subtle
I watched
Every limb
dividing, thriving
slowly depriving every ounce of oxygen
from the air it never once tasted,
but now hoards mouthfuls as its own.
The period of starvation ends.
It calls,...

Sometimes In Silence I'm Being ParanoiaSometimes, I dream of lying on the bed
Being silent, falling asleep,
Waking up and not talking to anyone.
I lie down and keep silent
I think about what is happening
Every day in my country,
In my friends' country and in the world.
Then, I want to screw up and down
Finally, flower gardens save and help
For the first...
