Not Entirely AloneI know you have an entire life that's your own,
Even though I am lonely, though not entirely alone,
Just wishing I knew if what we have will be fully grown....

I'm Almost Glad
I passed you on my path by chance,
by the bench where we once sat
with hands and hearts entwined.
You looked on through me
as if I were the fading apparition
you left when you said goodbye.
Your eyes saw past the flame of hurt,
that dying love ember left behind
as though you felt things that I did not.
Your head and...

Swollen Sore HeartI've amassed a fair number of brown South Asian lovers.
In my mind I revisit one whom I slept with beneath covers,
As my swollen sore heart began beating ever sadder....

Blue Is The Warmest ColorWe met in a coffee shop
off Fifth Avenue
In Jersey.
You were so magnetic;
your eyes shone so brightly.
A couple of years passed by;
and our paths crossed
once more
through the entanglement
of interwoven destiny.
We both ended up
in that coffee shop again.
I have to ask:
Did the blue in
your hair fade naturally,
or did you lose...

My ribcage is a battlegroundMy ribcage is a battleground
Echoing with footsteps and the sound
Of soldiers in armour, soldiers in anguish
Rumors of you, as I turn into ashes...

I am Back once moreI’m back once more.
I spent a long night contemplating which people to remove from my life, the ones who drag me down.
It’s time for a transformation in 2026, a chance to relieve the pressure in my chest.
Like a Maidenform bra that left an imprint,
What a relief it is to let them go....

SONNET ON CUPIDOh! illusion of all illusions
Art thou incarnated as Cupid?
Depicted ye with wings
And hath armed with love-shaft
Entwines ye many hearts of innocence
And warms thyself in their perdu passion
Thou drowns many hearts of sanctity love
Into your fathomless Lethe
And creates many insane encomiast
To eulogize thy illusion deeds
As Apollo transformed Clytie to sunflower
Thou endears innocent hearts bend towards you
Cadeceus,...

Telling me you love me isn't the same as being sorryI've seen the underbelly of your persona.
The despise you feel for La Verona.
A hate you spew because I'm a woman.
Hit me again, although you know you shouldn't.
And I know the examples life set before you,
Didn't show you the conclusions you should have come to .
That when you're upset you should not bruise my body,
And...

Fifty ways to leave your loverShe was definitely dumping him
All she needed was the right opportunity
It was like that song
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Now just to get it through to him
You’re crap in the sack Jack
If only you were more like Stan
What a man
Or even Gus
Though, you do have a lot in common with Gus
You always go by bus
God,...

The Room Was EmptyI got lost coming home tonight
To my surprise, the room was empty
You were not there, sweetie
The bed was made and the floor was bright.
I miss you, I miss you dearly
The room was very cold and sad
Like a lover who’s desperate and mad
Frankly, my heart felt weak and empty.
Your shadow was absent
Your silhouette was inexistent
You were...

This Love, This DrowningI love you.
More than anything I’ve ever known,
More than I can hold inside these quiet bones.
Each second of the day,
You live in my mind like breath
But sometimes I forget…
You’re not me.
You’re your own being,
And I want all of you,
Everything you are,
Even the parts that don’t belong to me.
You say you admire beauty
You notice, you look
But...

Best in meI would have my moments, and so would you, but
I would choose to spend every failing moment with you,
I never liked my hands until you held them, I always hated my smile but it’s all o ever did when I was with you,
I hated my hair but you loved it, I break eye...

The Girl Who Writes Love Poems v2The girl who writes love poems
Finally became the muse
She was so wrapped up in her delusion
She didn't see she was being used.
She poured out her heart into stanzas and rhymes
And basked in the warmth of his gaze
Little did she know the time that she’d waste
Would haunt her the rest of her days.
Though she spent...

Drifting Into the BlueI've always been afraid of deep water...
So why did I believe it would make me stronger?
Maybe I thought its beauty was sublime,
But beauty can’t hold you afloat every time.
I took a breath and went under,
Trusting you through all the wonder.
The waves pushed me towards you,
A feeling so fresh and new.
As I ventured into the deep...

Happy Hurt DayYou’re gentle, judgemental,
A freak in sheep’s disguise
Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,
You’re obsessive, compulsive,
Afraid to let me go
You’re afraid of what’s left of you,
If you have not my hand to hold
You know I love you,
But it’s time to move on
Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong
Be scared, I’ll hold you,
If...
