' Better to walk out than to live in Fool’s Paradise.' - Poet
She had full faith that her love was honoured,
but marital life stood on bricks of lie.
Hit of thunderbolt from clear cloudless sky.
knocking her down on shock to paralyse.
She lived happily in Fool's Paradise.
Wheel of truth whirling just automatic.
She faced bare fact and acted pragmatic.
To drag conjugal life turned awkward.
Compulsive ' Break Up ' to proceed onward
Emptiness embowered: : She wished to cry,
but controlled herself and just said ' Good Bye' '
No question to adjust or to compromise.
So far, amour to appear as fake guise.
Inevitable divorce to discard.

She lived happily in Fool’s Paradise.
Hit of thunder bolt from clear cloudless sky,
knocked her down on shock to paralyse
marital life standing on bricks of ‘LIE’.
Wheel of TRUTH rotating automatic
exposed spouse with deceit and betrayal
She faced firm fact to deal, act pragmatic,
sudden happenstance : Disgraceful, dismal.
Emptiness embowered : Life seemed useless,
shattered completely on first severe stroke,
yet she neither cried nor felt helpless,
but discarded him and relation broke.
She turned cold but bold to live on her own.
Fool’s Gold when detected fake,was thrown.

He would beat her up for the last time
It wouldn’t be hard to provoke him
The usual wrong word did it most days
Why do you make me do this
What is wrong with you
Forgive me
She would enjoy this one
The very last one
Bought you flowers
You know I love you
Do you
What the hell does that mean
What the hell
The drug would temporarily paralyse him
Enough time for her needs
He punched with his right fist
She cut off his arm
The odd kick with his right
She cut off his leg
He came round screaming
How you doing babe
You in pain
Don’t worry, it’ll pass
Ambulance, get me an ambulance
Say the word
Please, please
No, not that word
The other word, I love you, that one
I love you, ambulance, please, please
Babe, why did you make me do this, forgive me
Just going to take the tourniquets off
I’ll put them up here
If you get them, be quick
Remember to release them every fifteen minutes
Oh, one more thing
Love you babe.

death cannot endure eternity ~ if it could we’d never be born
(quote by poet)
Find rhapsody, great rhapsody, fomenting on high seas
Come lift up waves of despondency, I’m flailing so deep
Bamboozle revenant senses, restore my latent zeal
Overwhelm one million fold, melancholy drowning me
Find ecstasy, give ecstasy, paralyse me with bliss
I’m hooked on saline solution, and compelled to resist
Rejuvenate exuberance, nullify emptiness
I want to be possessed again, in a wild wanton kiss
Find buoyancy, come buoyancy, aerate this lowly soul
Raise me up to the firmament, let heaven take control
I’ll face down blackest ether, see beyond its parasol
Never again to sit stagnant, just to bow shall I stall
Find gravity, sheer gravity, falls short on temple steps
Pressurising in nature, stopped dead in a gods codex
Free now to bathe in mercy, overcome but not by depth
Expanding on forever, where beginnings intersect

As I shut my eyes I am gone,
The parts of me that are known to the world fade away into the abyss.
As I shut my eyes they appear,
The parts of me that are caged, like hungry, wild, rabid animals.
When I shut my eyes, I am scared,
They show me shadows of my past that should be long dead, I am filled with terror.
When I shut my eyes, they paralyse me,
My body is not my own, I scream and shout , LET ME OUT, but my body is still and peaceful.
As I open my eyes, I am free,
My lungs expand and I can breath, I have survived.
As I open my eyes, they are gone,
Their cages shut and barred, I smile, taking solace in this calm after the nightly storm.

I want to be away from all this drama
I don't need my dad nor my mama
With every passing moment I feel a punch in my gut,
I can feel the lump developing in my throat.
I don't need this life,
I no longer want to strive,
I just want to be away.
Far away from this worldly theatre,
I no longer want to be an audience or a spectator.
This day reminds me why I want what I want.
I just want myself and a bookshelf.
I don't need people.
I need peace.
I don't like fights and quarrel
I just want to be a happy squirrel living her life in the jungle.
My heart is hurt.
My emotions are shut.
I just want to fly away and never come back,
I just want to leave this nest ,
that moment of solace will be the best.
I will fly away to a lonely destination where there will be no one to bother me,
I will finally be free.
Love is a poison we all drink willingly and paralyse ourselves with vulnerability .
With the devasting pain that accompanies love we all cry in unison.

Within the shadow of a broken heart
love trembles in the corner
shattered and alone
heart drumbeats sad rhythm
tears flow over aching waterfalls
despairs solemn words
dominate me
paralyse me
The seed of hope
intrinsic force, a miracle
love contemplates
life’s possibilities
thoughts drift along, tumbleweeds
blown by winds of change
to bloom in the minds meadow
there beats a courageous heart

i dip my pen into the ocean of helpless
fluids searching for hopeful cravings
and my blood has rippled in a thousand torrents of expectations...
but do you know that my lungs has torn,shattered and broken on pieced streets and pierced boulevards?
know that i need need not be merged together for i am a victim,curdled on the back of expectations...
you are the lost garment i search for in the holes of a torn garment, do you know how your thoughts reverberates in the hall of my mind ?
ireti,what is the spirit that dwells in you?
tell me your backbone and its custodian..
you break the rocking of my bone and paralyse the swiftness it curdles and wait..you turn my head down on the tongues of hard rocks...
ireti..i am broken
see me emerse my thoughts in the flowing waters of wisdom our fathers hold
and i hold myself with twines of hope weaved by tender tailors with soft hands behind the hopeless garments of expectations...
i am broken...not beyond repair
for i am a victim curdled on the backs of expectations

Mountains of prestige
underneath them snowy trees,
narrow creek free-flowing icy water.
Skiers perfect netting with a chilling thermosetting,
peeping from a group of giant boulders.
Freezing, wheezing, sneezing,
placed it in safe keeping-
scene that would be best in the midsummer.
Taking one last peek for a painting I am weak
though second glance paralyse then shudder.

Varied species of the kingdom
Across our earthly home
From sponges to the octopus
Without a backbone
Laying small eggs
Or a centimetre long
Astounding invertebrates
There outer skin is strong
Upon an organism
There they choose to lay
Eggs for a food source
Paralyse their prey
As the insect grows
So rapidly within
A time of which to moult
Remove their outer skin
The expanding colony
Survival of the team
Young bees evolving
From a single queen
Shed their exoskeleton
Insect crawling out
Expansion of their wings
Body drying out
Beginning as larvae
From the eggs they hatch
Dramatic transformation
Metamorphosis match

Rays of sunshine of a thousand suns fill up my heart and lungs
Polaroids arent the only things i have lost
Wars arent the only things i have won
filters on my tongue and screen blur the scene and block the scream
I raise bars and delinquents
Novas shine for my rejects
They're televising our revolution while shedding our blood
Drapes cover my mouth and eyes
They despise , analyse and paralyse
But never dare to relinquish my shrine
The shrine in the depth of my mind is your home
Overseas it's just your confine
Poignance is in resonance but it pauses just for you
your hopes freefalling with aches and i deem solace yet ask
Do you ever count the waves that crash down to build you?

Time and time again I offer myself, I offer my body, my mind and my universe to you and you cowardly refused. You want me, or at least you think you want me. Your me
Is not what I truly am. You want a quiet woman that just adds to your accent like a tie to a suit or a sock to a shoe. You claim you want a smart and successful woman but you can't even handle me in my trying stage, how on earth will you handle me at my best. I'm lost in your smile, your gaze paralyse my thoughts. When I look at you, I see nothing but perfection in a room full of mistakes, fears and self hate. Say my name, what does it remind you of, what comes to mind. I still crave the me you want.

I see eyes that look wild like a hawk
The eyes that tell stories of precious love
Eyes that sees wonderful things
These eyes that will look upon souls
Sleeping on dust with bright eyes craving for success
Shocked and overwhelm by this splendid view
My heart beats vigorously with enthusiasm
The beats that paralyse nerves with happiness
I kick all the doubt to my thoughts
Thoughts that prey on the precious thoughts
To all my surprises a smile let go of joy
I surpass the deepest fears and insecure
Caught by soft hands that nudge my back
Back to reality I open my mind to you
Revealing all that I have kept from many
But your heat blaze like wild fires to this heart
The heat that burns furiously in my lonely heart
But I see you and through you I trust
Overshadowed by your presence my heart fall in love.

in the shadow of yesteryear-
distortions paralyse to-day's dream
whispered rumours of true things-
drown in the shallows of egos' hubbub
and hidden,almost invisible-
wait prurience,cloaked in desire
