Real Pain[Verse 1]
Everything you did, I kicked to the dust
Told me that you loved me, but that wasnt enough
Tired of bein’ second when you put them first
You let me down so much, now I got nothin’ to trust
You’d lie, say you comin', I’d sit and wait
But when I’m bleedin’ inside,...

Invisible Wounds
A tremor, deep inside,
when the unexpected word
strikes home. Not a fist,
not a shout, but a whisper,
a casual dismissal,
or a glance held too long,
or not long enough.
It doesn't bleed, not red.
It splintered inward,
from battles long past,
from arguments left open
like wounds to the air.
Each tiny shard,
a glint of remembered pain,
lodged beneath the skin
of composure.
You walk, you talk,
you...

VOICE OF A POET
Gathered courage to put emotions on paper
Ink agrees to be visible to anyone that pays attention
Pain introduces itself in a miserable situation
This time,not about love or infatuation
The poet cries with unanswered question
This time,I may not write a dark poem
Nor solution to my problem
Though inspired no one, neither that was the aim
The hidden best of me...

Black HoleYesterday was two weeks
Two weeks since my son
was pronounced brain dead
How am I alive?
how have I worked this week?
how has the black hole of grief
inside me not taken over completely?
I have driven, I have operated the stove,
I have functioned adequately at work
but there are times that time seems to stop
and I go to a place...

Luxury ItemJust how long does a steaming lobster sob?
How terribly do boiling limbs and guts
burn? Like a million simultaneous cuts?
When does its sweltering heart cease to throb?
On who’s authority do humans rob
that creature of its life? Have we the rights?
—the rights to cook a living being? Nights,
(countless), have I questioned this brutish...

Give Me the Rhythm
give me the rhythm, a steady heartbeat
birth pangs are closer, the pain on repeat
music comes forth from creatures small and great
fat raindrops drumming,a new age awaits
wind whistles and moans through tall trembling trees
the mountains bow down with weak shaky knees
the heavens look on as stars light the way
one foot in the sea, another in...

A Foolish HeartA foolish heart will never learn
The foolish heart often gets burnt
It believes that love will conqueror all
Overlook faults no matter how big or small
It believes in fairy tales and loves first kiss
Wizards, legends and magic exists
Santa Claus and the Easter bunny
Confetti, chocolates and flowers on Sunday
I once knew a foolish heart every well
Filled with hopes...

Tune Of Pain
Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson's song : When Doves Cry
Grey clouds hover over my wasteland,
the desert languishes in the heat of craving,
deprived of the tuneful rain,
until you arrive with drizzling breeze.
In your pulsating embrace
my heart’s oasis resounds
with the symphony of desire.
As the pristine patina of radiant roses
flushes your crimson cheeks,
rhapsody...

The greatest of his age
One day he came to his stand
Armless! What had happened?
The next day, no legs either

Don't Bring Me FlowersA fragile heart laments these lifeless limbs
a price paid for lifes unwanted torments.
As I drift, the fugacious sun begins to dim,
to conscious dreams, of youths sweet innocence.
Your makeup still sleeps on sheets of silk
while I languish in the beauty of your scent,
Love slipping through my fingertips like soap,
I closed my eyes too long, now...

Pain to GreatnessPain To Greatness
Breath in the cold.
Don’t tell me no.
Run through the street.
Put on your hoodie.
Be a mystery.
Let me be.
Stay ready.
Hustle knee deep.
Knuckles bloody.
Get to work.
Row up hill, suffer.
Hustle till you drop.
Pain to greatness.
Feel the pain.
Push the grind.
No age matters.

Love Ends In Cemetery[Verse 1]
Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock
Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock
You've got big dreams and a borrowed car
And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far
She’s got your name in her diary heart
But I’ve seen boys like you come apart
You think you're chasing paradise and lace
But you’re one...

The many funerals of a black girlHow many funerals of ones self can someone have before there is nothing left
Don't answer
It's rhetorical anyway
Funeral number 1
A piece of her hair
A symbol of when they would stop and stare
At her hair
When they would make her life a living nightmare
Until she became too aware
Until It became too much to bear
Until she silenced...

GoodbyeIt lingers.
Not on the lips. Lower.
In the fiber of the tongue,
in the spasming depths of fear,
where words no longer light paths,
but only fester in ancestral silences,
like icons submerged in sacred rubble,
beneath the cracked beams of a church welded shut from within,
where even devils can no longer enter.
Parting is not spoken.
It is torn between teeth,
swallowed...
