Shamrock on the Shorts

...a fairy tale of Camden Town

Clancy’s Gym, the same old sounds
a minute’s rest then two more rounds
I’ll jack this in (like Bobby Prewitt)
but where’s the one who made me do it?
He hasn’t come,...

Blinding rays of moonlight pierce through windblown curtains, whilst droplets of sweat bead on a heavy forehead. Sleep becomes more elusive with every tick of the clock, as insomniac nights and bro...

Standing on a rusted platform,
I look towards the looming, tarnished steel clock,
Ticking away my final moments of existence.
Oceanic eyes swell with liquid salinity
As a hollowing whistle ...

The Twilight of Fantasy

...I was walking down a lonely street, 
wondering where everyone had gone.
It was still daylight, 
My footsteps echoed as I journeyed along the empty road.

As I walked, the road stretched further ...

Beautiful Melody

...The sound hits as ton of bricks
And see you flying off the ledge
The state of awe, emotions’ mix
It puts the soul on the edge

As if you found what you missed
Your whole life, in vain hunt

Skin to Skin

...I want that skin to skin 
Hands wrapped around him
Under his shirt 
Hug love making
Tongue and lips verb vibrating 
I want someone who I can stare into their eyes
Get lost, become entranced by ...

...I netted a word today

spritzing in the back of mind,

examined it from angles:

politically, like stars and spangles

rhythmically, like Mr. Bojangles

Offerings

...You offered me nothing new
You didn't have a trace of gold in your sandals
You merely came to my four walls
but we became confused
about the things we couldn't heal

Festive Words

...

Make haste arise,
assert the words.
Salute each term
that now gabfest.

In mid of night
they waltz, serenade;
Jovially jolting
a rem-sleep state.

Appease them please,
awake, awake.

Morning Dailies

As the dews of dawn
Mellows down
Misting away the sins of yesterday
Hunting off the dust of the dusk
While jolting us 
away from our haunting slumber
Then comes

The World We Live In

...Sometimes,
I remember this…
This thing
We do
That sometimes feels
Like an infinite,
Never ending dream

doesn’t have proper endings,
Certainly not satisfied ones,
It goes far from a simple,...

Focus

...The mirror.

Then stoicism.

Frozen and calm.

Focused.

Then moving shakily.
 
Movements, and jolting.

Then I’m focused again.

Moving.

Calm but ready movements.

Ultimatum

They have this ultimatum.

I listen, and the their words are buzzing.

Drifting and muttering.

Then jolting, that is like a pinch or slap.

Then I start grinding my teeth again and blinkin...
