and I served it up myself
I mixed it up with the cinnamon
and it sure woke up my mouth

You kept me up all night again
but only in my dreams
it seems you...

Some things you don’t know ... 
and you don’t really wanna

Certain information overload
can get tricky
Make you not trust your own eyes
Sometimes custom pants
might be a fancy dress in disguise

Better stay sober;
even still, it might be...

I was influenced by Basil Fawlty
that sarcastic humour really caught me
inappropriate rude crude and naughty 
humour against stress which haunts me 

I'm the sort some assume a dim bulb

we rode our bikes for miles it seemed
always knowing where to go
remember when Kevin got creamed?

a broken pane provides a breath with a pang of lavender
a wistful inhale inhabits the lungs...

By the ocean side. My dog by my side.
Deep cool breeze
Setting ablaze my ribs
My jacket and the dog’s fur

it is a charming brown.

brown leaves, brown...

At the point when you remember me,
Kindly don't sob.
You attempted everything you could
To rescue my dieing soul

Dear you felt down and out when
Relatives proved unable

Of my hospital bill
You were generally...

I Am Poet

I see the way they look away
though I know that they don't know it.
I see that they think less of me
when I say that I am Poet.

Unaware of life ahead tough
Youth captured in a photograph
Ambition beamed behind framed glass
Promised future a life of class
Nothing less would define enough.

Through scorching time I travelled far
Dragging life with burnt dreams’ deep scar
In twilight dust...

Trees bowing in humble adoration
Dust up the air........from the ground
Humans having a feeling so sweet
Mild is the air,will it rain today?
Thunder? no! lightening? no!save the breeze
squeezed umbrellas,caps dancing upwards
leaves gathering to have an emergency meeting

over the piano lid, shut quiet and still.
Some dust we keep as mementos
in a chaotic pile of keepsakes.
Some we wipe away on a rainy day,
with windows wide open to keep...
