Do you know what it is like to be an untouchable?
To be so filthy and disgusting
That people shrink away from you
Do you know how it corrodes your soul
To see how the stench that follows your...

When I fall asleep I wake up in another place.
A different time, a different world, a different face.

Everything is so vivid, so real, so different, so breathtaking.
A different life entirely, these dreams become intoxicating.

Sometimes these...

I am a purple headed chicken with glass beads. I like to roam the wooded glades. I often wear a pair of shades. It shields my precious amethyst eyes from the glare of the sun....

Lets hike through broken lanes, till life make sense
Lets fence fear, give that insane pain a blockage
Till life make sense

Lets page our broken pieces of thoughts and hope
Let climb valleys and hills of sin
Till life...

Ink blotting covers looks like souls trying to escape from a cluster
Shanking each other, blood spilling in a gutter
People hating one another, melting butter
The back of a butterfly, a hand partially covering an eye
Cloud in...

Fruits noirs

Sans qu’on y prenne garde,
Le ciel se tisse du grillage
Sombre des branches.
Elles  s’étendent  chaque année,
Et chaque année,
Grignotent un peu plus d’espace,

Au point de parfaire une voûte
Et d’arriver à se rejoindre,
En confisquant le...

Enchanted by skylarks I surrender my time.
Day's sun unabated riveted me to broiling heat,
I stew in my skin. Every toxic thought
Pollutes my surface as is intended,
But corrodes and cankers their patron's heart.
The statue has a...

The Wall, The Wall

I
the world fades from my fingertips
like blood oozing from an open wound
the sky is ripped apart and full of thunder
and my eyes are twisted in pain

shut the door and lock me within

Inscrutable torrents of history shall crush

HALF-EMPTY BUTTERCUPS

There was a time of kicked-back comfort and laid-back ease
Times when both butterflies and buttercups were ever blessed by a breeze
Days when wings were anointed and petals pointed to the sky 
Times with the...

Armed with abundance, infinity dictates
Charmed by assurance of blossoming supply
Fruitful hands encircle orchard's offering
Boughs bestow nourishment ripe flesh provides

Harrowing hunt, road collides with horizon
Narrowing options ominously herald hardship
Frantic hands grab due to doomsday prediction
Equity halted...

SELFISHNESS CORRODES LOVE
Selfishness corrodes love
Than any other does.
Since love is a responsibility
And not only
A whim in one’s heart.
In love, give!

Love long for
A favorable environment.
If you won’t nourish it better,
Slowly
It find its  way out
Without any...

Sunlight streams through a crystallized window pane
flinging fragments of light across the wall.
Clear, my eyes take in this unclad display
as the ticks of the clock mark a lifeline of passing.
Shadows begin to flee the assailing...

______________________________________________________________

In the heart of the deep forest rot,
Our love awakens, casting a transcendent plot,
With whispered promises tenderly bestowed,
We purify the darkness where secrets once flowed.

Akin to a gentle breeze, our love erodes.

Cancer it breaks cancer it takes
It erodes and corrodes body and soul
Lingers and takes hold  cant be stopped or controlled
Terminal is with an apparent ending
Loss of hope and no point in pretending
Life span is...

LAST SUPPER

Why should I join your table!
Why should I intoxicate myself with,
Your costly wine you flaunt with false splendor,
But in it you slip a dose of lethal laughing toxins?
One would laugh and laud your generous...

The Animal In The Cage

Locked in a cage
Steel bars of my own making
The floor lined with the bodies of those who came before
Alongside the bones of those who conspired to harm me
My fingers claw in...

Instructed we were, from childhood through youth,
Whatever the cost, we must speak the truth.
A lie is like ice, it makes the heart cold.
The truth is like fire, which makes it like gold.

But what is this...

My babies loved the cats,

through the ages of the naps,

in the pages,

in the clasp,

on the floor,

atop a mat,

I pull it out and flip a bat-
let a lover free the band,
so I may rebuttal and unleash...

Exposure & Hiddenness
Surely writing may endanger:
Creations make life a bit stranger,
Poetry comes from the Greek,
"To Make" and thus To Seek,
Is Part & Parcel of Making,
Disparate becomes one in Baking,
Words discover Ideas from Chaos,
Which once divulged...

Endless- difficult to understand
when everything around us has an end.
All life on earth is destined to disband
with time and age- on that, we can depend.

We comprehend that most things are finite-
not only life- but what's...

DECAYING.
ROTTING.
MY HEART CORRODES IN DUST
OUR LOVE ONCE BRIGHT AND SHINY.
NOW HAS TURNED TO RUST.
YOU USED TO TREAT ME  DELICIATE.
I WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
SO CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE ME.
I MEANT SO MUCH TO...
