Long Soldered Poems

So take your rose colored glasses off
And see this battle for the withered tulip it really is
There is no leaving this town,
It's got the best heights to fall from 
And the best milestones to lose...

Submersion Connections

The water heaved and sighed with the gathering force of self while
	the tug positioned to push, pull, hold.

The mammoth engineering marvel,
	rose like the Phoenix with the grace of Shamu,
		antenna first
			then bridge
				finally the deck
The round...

Anaphylactic identity, constricting logic on the 
course towards infinity. Denial is drawn like a tarot 
reading, citing that it is all in your head. Hidden 
mysteries written in code - the key etched in our...

We’re one loose screw away from being
Ten hollow corpses 
Nailed to crosses we didn’t even configure 
Still gossiping like our hands aren’t on fire 

And you're three secrets away 
From being the loose lips of...

The old woman came out of the eye hospital,
After receiving the news, she was going blind.
She was feeling very depressed, not just about her eyes,
The state of the world in general.
After her hospital visit, she...

We, the creatures, fused from stardust
soldered with the fires of hell,
crawling on our squalid bellies
from the froth of ocean's swell—

We, who wield supreme dominion
over land and sea and sky,
creatures with the wings of angels,
unaware that...

You catch me looking in your eye 
And my hands are on your side 
You say “I love you”
I start ing choking

Somewhere in the sky there was a voice who kept on talking
For a long...

I waved a silent song
past its strongest heights
For a sating revision
of a shy sound to ignite
Asks for melodic tense,
for its sequence of time 
heaves a better song
and lights up a star-deprived 
haze 
regardless of time,
Promises
to...

Gotta Love Alliteration 5-21-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gracious Grace

Endless effervescence of grace,
In riots of radiance, infected by innocence,
Seeks out the heart harassed by humiliation –
Wrapped in sleepless shrouds of incensed worry –
When alliterations of angst plunder soiled spirits with...

Languishing in a limbo of roles
perpetually gleaning
reading ripe tombs and myths
a child, a child dreaming
parroting fancies in pretty pink
braiding wisps on a razor straps edge
the perfect daughter to become
when all that was wanted was a...

WAKE UP MY HEART

Wake up my heart, from satin sleep, so deep.
Up my expectations, of dawn’s satisfying affection.
My sorrows and worries pale, your loving kiss warms.
Heart burns and we’re soldered together, you and me.

Wake up...

My glaring eyes sneak a look at
The clear spring waters 
In the water jug (karuwa) –
The pure appearance of my face
Reflected like in the mirror
Strike against the inner surfaces 
Split into bits and pieces
With dispersal...

Tell me to whom shall I entreat and fall down on my knees
To beseech lenity ; to cry for impunity

To implore for the salvation
from the bane of infernal love
from the pain of bruised heart

To plead...

playing with words under fire

The words become malleable 
Stumbling standing one after another 
Pleasure of playing with words under fire is immeasurable 
Rainbow of new visions adorns heart's skies when molded together 

In the furnace...

voices skating secrets across the rim of a wine glass,
breath advocating a glance. Plucking nerves like a guitar string
wind revealing the liars tongue,
never failing to encapsulate  
the quiet tuck,  serenades of existence

pouring solitude...

Yesterday I saw a man die

I saw the hallowed shadow of a scared man fade away into an ocean of solid blackness. 
I saw a mans total apathy towards his fears and strengths rise like...

Old melodies,
Old tunes,     
Belting out from the radio,  
They were my father’s favourite,
He danced to it with my mother, 
He hummed to it whenever
 he was busy with his tools,...

Path walked measured with words,

Stripping the unwanted ones down, to be newly clothed.

Lost swooning over how much happiness the heart can take,

Felt those properly sieved emotions flowing through.

The words kept coming as the path was...

liquid has swift wings
when the fuel is sweet
and glasses half-full
consistent

light dims as a sigh
for the shadow's walk,
reflecting inward glow
elation of the stranger's eye

flint strike spark
dry timber, helpless
ignition
fast flame, burn
smokeless ember drenched

favored hands flicker
glide and clench,
sticky...
