Long Relapsed Poems

Fill in the gaps
In my life
I have relapsed
Due to strife
Where did you go?
How do you know
I was lost too?
All is true…

I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless...

cannot coexist
with a planet infested...

While holding a gun on my temple with this gentle discipline,
My identity is clear but my behaviour is doubtful
To the extent of brutish masculinity – defined as stubbornness.
Oh Majesty! of all...

1. Non-fiction

The bathroom faucet gushes nectar
drowns my hands in never-laughter,
"Sorry" is a specter
when you told me "0" I felt disgusting,
hopelessly deluded,
naked.

Last night I dreamed
that New York City was nuked,
another Twin Towers Lost,
everyone radiated.

But then I...

so it's true the higher you climb the more unforgiving people become,

I too felt like I...

I want to seek sobriety everyday
I hope to God this sleepless night
I pray and pray away the pain tonight
I want to be okay as I lay here, decaying like a wilted flower in May

When I was a small child I caught
every germ that came my way.
It is because of Mama’s nursing 
that I lived to write about it.
I succumbed to every illness 
in which I came in contact.

Caged out inside herself
The dark light will never shine
Why do you care to think negative
If you'd care to think at all?
Can you believe I wanted to be you?
 
The dream faded long ago 
Once I...

Born into this realm surreal, 
With truth being revealed, 
Lack of understanding so it remains sealed,
Was feeling weak, but with that there's a negative cost, 
So lost but I refuse to retreat, 
See this system...

We are here
sexing
and singing
mindfulling our Perceptions and Questions
together in this now present
gifted Time

To eat and work together
for our cooperative
and ancient thriving health care,

But,
also,
and perhaps even more pre-historically
pre-anthrosupremacy,
to sing and dance together
to win/win play our...

Another  night so dark and bleak 
How did I become so weak 
Here I’ll lay this is it 
My cold dark lonely pit
Because over me it still has power
this so very destructive white...

The girl shouted for joy in the middle of the velvet full moon.
The little dog barked twice interrupting the high-handed act of argument.
How many words will describe the perfect purification as we proceed to knavery?

I was hurried for days,
may be it was weeks and may be months,
I am not so sure when I last rested,
perhaps it was years before,
hustled and bustled thus,
my nerves were racking and ripe with stress...

After very long time, I took out my shirt
Cornered in the wardrobe on a hanger.
I found a long familiar hair in the collar
How a*beauty drew me with a single hair.
