Long Tunnel vision Poems

What if…

If fear did not guard and watch over me?
My seeds of shame and doubt
Would timidly venture out
And finally sprout,
But as they reached the light,
Like a vampire, would wither and die
Without the protection of night.

Her back never faces the door

“I’ll only need you on certain days”

she says
(absently)

“I’ll have to write them down
my memory doesn’t work so well

she’s thinking
(a lovely stare)

“Who is that in the...

Empty pages
Staring at blank spaces
How long has it been
As custom dictates, a line to be repeated
Maybe it'll close the gap between mental lapses
Maybe it'll explain the aversion
Welcoming the conversion
Welcoming the conversation now fulfilled
Am I fulfilled
A...

I push my head out the car window
As far as I can reach
I’m on a ride
Through Beirut
Energized
Galvanized
Oblivious to the walls
Of restriction
On my soul
I lean out futhur
My hair wild and free
The wind making love to me
Caressing...

REFLECTIONS

Remember when you walked past that mirror and caught a glimpse of your 
reflection… but you were too focused on ‘living life’ to stop and admire it?

Were you honestly too busy, or was there some...

Can't always be a fair bout
Got to air it out
Very little I've cared about
There's no need for prayers or doubts

You say I am, yet to me you sound delirious
I can't take you serious
One of many...

She turned her head, looking back at the crosswalk, with her feet slapping the ground as cold 
rain poured down her neck. Tears mingled with the fat pounding drops, that stuck her cocoa 
brown hair...

wishing he had sung his prayers last night
from both ends to the middle
fell to the ground in adoration
tore a wake through the ink stains
but not from satisfaction
plastic Jesus hold my head
a round of applause for...

As the sun glow is expelled by darkness,
I pour myself a whiskey and ice,
sitting in my favourite spot to relax,
distant traffic pollution, somehow soothing,
smell of freshly cut garden in the air,
the thoughts of the day’s...

Saddie was alone.
The only child in a family who did not like children.
It was tough at first, but when she turned three, she 
Discovered a magic tunnel beneath the underside of her mattress.
She could get...

As I lie here dying
Beneath pieces strewn
Bits of broken glass
My ending life spilling out
A scene of black and white and red

Through lighted prisms
An offer given
A different view
Newer angles now reveal
That, which once was veiled and...

Don't Rock the Boat

The words I hear most often spoken "politically correct"
remind me of, something I heard, by some religious sect
Do not question, "that's taboo" and now you're out of line
not the way you're taught...

In the void, sipping the zoid,
with mental properties of tripping on the spiral.
Falling down the tail of lions, awkwardly spinning.
With upside down tunnel vision leaking through.

Solidifying all matter that matters,
melting into the walls of your...

Alone I entered chaos, don’t shoot, a mother screamed.
All I knew as I responded, was a knife, and blood had streamed.
My senses they deceived me, as his words resembled truth.
As I clicked one cuff onto...

as your eyes see through the cylinder only
where the flowers radiate the scent
where the leaves wait for the rustle
of the fondling wind
where stars wait for the music
