Long Melatonin Poems

Silence, 
We define it as the complete absence of sound but this definition fails to capture the profundity of the subject.
As humans, our earliest existence is shrouded in obscurity and silence. 
Sperm penetrates ovum and...

I can feel it. 
It’s not quite tangible, 
Just out of reach,
Yet nonetheless real. 
Like a sixth sense on my sixth sense. 
The anticipation hangs in the air, 
The thick, jelly like, immovable air. 
Tempers...

	Black people get no respect
And we never will get it,
	if we ain’t got it yet
The white man doesn’t truly consider us a threat,
we’re the best peace loving people
	he coulda ever met
Not one African nation has...

I went to the dentist today.
The lady who cleaned my teeth had hair fit for a Weasley with large piercing eyes to compliment. Her name is Sierra, and she is 22 years old.
She asked me...

Salty glass eyes,
Thimbles brimming
with summer-leaf green poison
stare back at me.

A stare chilled subzero.
I, of course, imagine this stare
is a defense mechanism to hide her troubles.
I imagine a glimmer of light
that luminates from her bust.
This is...

My friend had said
Oh! Father
 What color 
My eyes my skin's shades
 Of many MELATONIN (what)
 I have a white mother 
And yet my father's
 black 
From what am I 
What race am I 
They...

I grew up on a lilac dream
along with a few shows on tv
I like video games and writing stupidly long things
I got taught that life is what you make it
I'm about to turn fifteen and...

Mama held me close to her bosom
wouldn't let me go astray
she shook the cradle of civilization
and to her wayward offspring 
she paid attention.
 
She added a tinge of color to the cheeks of some
and tinted...

Asper sweaty palms, 
and other physiological ills
nothing beats infusion of
spine tingling electrifying chills -
experiencing psychological nirvana,
(nope NOT even 
prescription medication pills)

except attaining, experiencing, and succumbing
delivering to bodily flesh, sans
nightly cathartic, intrinsic dream changing stills
and pacific...

Lost time doesn’t circulate
I was having a hard time finding my light switch in the dark
Colorful, temporary
Grey, permanent
Sore calves and heavy head
Tisses and black shoelaces
I’m 18, and I don’t feel well enough to get up...

Living in a masquerade
Hiding our truths in the shade 
Veiled Behind electronic devices 
The Physical world Minimises

Concealed behind a blue and white light
No melatonin released at night 
Our brains don’t accept it’s time to sleep...

Brick by brick I built my walls,
despite fires raging,
I preserved paths that connected
bridges between our breathless existence. 

Now that my heartbeats
have reached a dead end street,
let me rest my jaded head
upon your chest -
for fate...

Half solid half softened whence the moon sheds saturninity down to a boudoir maudlinly marooned.
Half directly half deviously whether the night wind sneaks to snoop about the notes therefrom crooned.
Half mauve half blue, with empty...

You act so mellow melatonin,
pure relax and laid back
Motorcycling thru life
with your golden hair blowing

You speak so leather serotonin,
smooth and REM sleep inducing
Resting in your Laz-e-Boy ... ambience: quiet demure — 
disturbing the peace, you...

It’s both red and crimson 

Same you say? But different. 

It looks smaller than anything else you’ve prescribed
but in the end
it’s all just another cocktail -
   a cocktail of substances trying to keep...

an absence of trust found 
simultaneous with a brand spankin’ new hatred in the air
wrapped up in a sinister sense of pain

So I was just a child
And they said that this was "just a phase"
That lasted 17 years 
And 364 days 

Tomorrow will I switch
From an adolescence damaged mess
To a mature adult
Able to cope with the...

I am pining
for shining.
The lightness
of brightness.
Oh cast away
the gloomy grey..
to a cloudless 
de-stress..
So I can undress
with finesse
to the colour 
of Summer;
a mellow..
yellow.
Exposin'
my melatonin
to a fantasy
of vitamin 'D'
Would suit me..
down to a tee.
Out of school

Born too early
to have my very own sex robot.
I remain optimistic, that
A.I. will write my poems for me.

Each day I get woken,
then fall asleep by. 9 A.M.
Alexa hates me.

I don’t have a cell phone,
because I...
