In a World Where I do not Exist
Sunshine streams, spilling secrets on satin sheets,
a symphony of soft chirps and chattering birds.
The morning unfolds, a vibrant tapestry of hues,
and I, I am nowhere to be seen.
Not a single soul remembers my name,
no echoes of laughter, no whispers of love.
I am a blank canvas, a forgotten tune,
a silent melody in this bustling, bright world.
Yet,

Wish you were never born
Wish you never came to be
Wish you were never came around
Wish you weren’t my father
All you are is just a ghost
In the backdrop.
You sleep in a coffin
Only to rise from the grave
Looking for a fresh meal
That was slaved over the stove.
You may do minor work
But that ain’t enough
Ladies got the

Nonexistent Seasoning
starry winter night
missing her summer conversation
softly wishing in vain
moving on is like jumping off the high dive in a pool of poison ivy
starry spring evening
missing her winter conversation
a sweet, gentle breeze whispers her name teasingly
moving on is like jumping off the high dive in a pool of heavily concentrated acid
starry summer night
missing her spring conversation
dehydration

Being Nonexistent
For forty years she stood there
On watch every single hour
One tentacle of defence against
A perceived enemy power.
There is now a new golf course
Where the aerial field once stood
They’ve long thinned and chopped
It’s once concealing wood.
The Ops Block is the Club House,
The security cage and fences gone,
Presumably they removed the minefield
That she

Nonexistent Pages
I write this poem and send it across the white
nonexistent pages on a screen of tiny pixels,
and wonder what causes it to remain while
a grayish color followed by a scene appears,
and I am asking, “Where does it go when…?”
I vigorously tap the “enter” key and watch while
it floats into the nebulous world of the WWW,
only

My Nonexistent Refusal Skills
My refusal skills are pretty much non-existent.
I grew up in a small town where most people say yes.
Others use words like no, absolutely not, not my clowns.
I say okay almost immediately to any request coming my way.
For where I grew up anyone who said no was labelled a trouble maker.
An outcast, a do-badder,
I know it

Reply From the Nonexistent
please tell me ...
what happened?
what dire damage have i wrought?
what did i do to ruin it, that friendship, rare?
you once knew me better than most ...
my darkness didn't frighten you, didn't rattle,
you sighted those demons ... i think they danced with yours, times,
imbibed from the same bleeding cup, cackling ... spitting.
but you were always keener,
