Shadow’s ConfessionIt’s not just about shining.
It’s being seen while shining
Without someone throwing a blanket over your flame,
because they’re scared it will burn brighter than theirs.
When light enters a room,
it does not negotiate with darkness.
Darkness simply scrambles for cover
Guilt when it’s cornered slithers in shame
Where shadows confess just by meeting the light,
no speaking, no...

monotonyshe shows her battle scars and all i feel is numbness,
he flaunts his maidens and i overlook the dumbness.
she cries woes of heartbreak and i cannot feel pity,
he weeps waterfalls of failure and i fake some integrity.
she hurts me the most when she berates her busy nature,
he wounds me the deepest when he complains of...

A Sonnet by This Arrant Bard, an OtherA sonnet by this arrant bard, an other,
whose sole half-brother, a real piece of work,
and single parent (mother like no other!),
together were no warm nor loving perk.
In her heart, mother disowned me in life.
My younger half-brother begrudged my...

I Don't UnderstandI don't understand it
And I never understood it
How vehement disdain can beat in the chest
And how vitriol can dance in the mind with unrest
The cold, blank stares that quickly turn to a fake smile when I turn and our eyes meet
Too late, that crooked smile can't disguise the dark, desolate eyes that bitterly speak
Yes. They...

Clinch Fist Pillow CuddleMachine gun heart riddled with shades of grey.
A mind once sharpened by your own forked tongue.
Lovers' lips part with rumbles of a cannon.
Dew licked satin sheets - the highway to carnal desire.
Silhouettes of freshly washed skin dance in the night.
Passion rising like the souls of the departed.
Where do you sleep after your thirst is quenched?
Where...

I never thought I'd be so envious
more gracious than royalty
she glided through the park
her hair up in a chignon
her shoulders bare
beneath that lucky parasol

Blubber - Mar 8Blaggard blaming the blond bloke for his blight:
Blablabla, bluster and bleat, blathering
Blob, your blue blood bleeds blotches on a black
Blossom. Blaspheme, blabber—I blast your bluff....

The Ballad of the Part-Time LoverBeneath the glow of neon light, where secrets love to hide..
Two shadows meet in whispered steps, forbidden side by side.
A game of passion, sly and swift, where hearts and caution blend..
A dance of stolen glances.. where the night will know no end.
The city hums, the streetlights blink, a world of hush and heat..
And in the...

Desiring What I Cannot HaveShe’s so ideal
She smiles at everyone she sees.
At the sight of someone so ethereal,
The people feel at ease.
Her perfect hair falling down,
The way ocean waves couldn’t compare.
When one looks into her blue eyes they drown,
One couldn’t help but stare.
When you hear her voice,
The angels stop and listen.
You have no choice,
To impress her would be your...

Run Girl RunRun, Girl, Run
She was just eleven, small and spry,
Her father said, “You’re due, oh my…”
A spanking, harsh, the kind she knew,
But this time she thought, “Not today, not you.”
He called her brothers, big and loud,
“Go catch your sister—make me proud!”
She took off running, barefoot and wild,
With twenty meters head start, a desperate child.
The boys gave...

I will never knowI will never feel your wetness slide down my cock
Simply because I do not have one.
I will never know your texture beyond 3-4 inches
Simply because my fingers are not long enough.
I can hold you and kiss you,
But I wonder if my longing for you will ever be satisfied.
I can make you cum,
But would it...

Forced Rhymes A whiff of my kitchen, a medicinal pill,
the side order of rain drools at a windowsill.
An utterance precedes a service; the rumble,
the window slides itself shut. A bumble
bee ricochets off a glass pane
moaning louder than our train
of thought waylaid with bacon sizzling up a storm.
There's an anxiousness trapped inside as warm
as indoors petrichor's marshmallow mood

Secret AdmirersI have been in competitions unbeknownst to me
knowing...they don't compare to me
noticing...they want to be me
sensing...they want to have me
seeing...they couldn't be me
laughing...they can't have me
look act speak...like me
stick to your destiny...learning who you are
my destiny took strength resilience courage
most of them don't have endurance to handle
any of the hardships they cause for me

love me pleasePerhaps I’ll tear my eyes away
Let my crimson spill and stray
Sew my wounds with piercing thread
If you’d love me though I bled
Death does not seem so grim
Nor does the noose’s cold, tight hymn
Summon Venus, my muse
Let her claim what I shall lose
Caress my flesh till breath runs dry
Let crimson drip as fingers tie
Stab me with...
