When too much is enough
i try to lead a modest life
without having expectations
without making demands
i reach out with everything i’ve got
being satisfied with what comes my way
but when it comes to love
i think that too much is
what needs to be expected
too much is exactly
what’s enough
life’s too short and
time too valuable
to be squandered
passion is not
merely a...

The poems I should've never had to writeThe poems that weep with grief
The one that bleeds a sadness unnoticed
The ones that grieve the erasure of colour
I wish I didn't have to write poems
To convince you of our pain
The one that stains every word on every page
The ones that can't bleed out of existence
The ones that break and...

Sexual SensationI like the way you touch my body.
There's no way I can deny it.
You complete me in so many ways.
You have this body of mines in such a maze.
Taste me here, lick me there.
You have this body of mines wet everywhere.
I feel chills down my spine.
You lay me on my back and let...

KintsugiTo that girl from the Cabaret,
The abuse and the trauma,
Every cracks and gaps,
No they doesnt make you worthless,
Every step you take forward,
Every time you sway your hips,
It shows groth and resilience,
Not just some hollowed pieces shards
For there's beauty in breaking,
Like an art, a kintsugi,
A gold in a broken vessel,
A beauty in imperfection,...

Poets, Films, Photos, Belongings and FragrancesWhat colors, what emotions, what achievements?
The trees wishing the flowers bloomed better
The flowers clueless about what trees speak of
The flowers face the sky and only one question to ask
What is love?
If I wish for it and open my arms wide enough for it to fit,
Will you shower them at me and maybe then...

TO THE VINING CHILDREN, VIBINGTO THE VINING CHILDREN…VIBING…
(Apropos Of A Scriptural Inspiration)
Let us be as the Vines
Of The Gardener;
Let us who have been pruned
With love and awareness,
Have branches sharing fruits
Of Truth, Peace, and Love:-
Indeed, may our branches
Never ever be void
Of His divine wisdom’s guidance;
For we are poets of the tree of life:
Rooted, trunked, branched, leaved,
And fruited with the...

Really a goodbye?Nobody told me
The fear of losing
For loving someone so hard
Was something so harsh
Saw you then not too long after
Give or take just years later
Turned my head back, saw your smile
Happiest I've felt in a while...

Orpheus In The Undergrowth
"As the greatest of all poets and musicians,
tho' you may call me 'liar',
Hermes may have invented it
but I perfected the lyre
and with my music and singing
if only I could see
the forest for the trees
I would coax the woods to dance for me
but, on the other hand
from where I stand,
it appears to be,
looking at it from...

Paper cutsPoetry often feels like paper-cuts,
your emotions will sting with each letter.
A belief writing will help you get numb,
at times that is not how this process goes.
You have to bleed out the happy and sad,
with each cathartic word you are centered.
Pulsating feelings now clear and centered,
still you are left with painful paper-cuts.
All you want is to...

Lefty The Left Handed Poem
They built this world for the other hand,
Every door, every tool, every scissors command.
Ink smears across my palm like war paint,
While spiral notebooks mock me with their constraint.
But I am the mirror breaker,
The rule shaker,
The one who writes backwards
And dreams in reverse.
Ten percent revolution ninety percent poetic evolution
I am the southpaw standing alone
Against a...

QUESTIONS POETS AND WRITERS ASKQUESTIONS POETS AND WRITERS ASK

On my laptop’s screen, words twist and twine,
I ponder, “Is this plot truly mine?”
With a character's frown,
Will my story break down?
Or will sadness and joy combine?
As I scribble, “What rhymes with orange?”
I chuckle, “Should my hero be foreign?”

Too Lazy to ThinkThere once was a brain too lazy to think
As into obscurity destined to sink.
While we dance to metre
And conjure up theatre
That some love though into history slink.

Confession
I learned what I fear today:
Intimacy. I can’t seem to face
my raw emotions bluntly; in fact
I despise them for being unpoetic
Why be vulgar and direct
when I can hide behind my
metaphors, my harbor; my fantasies, my
buffer—between reality and
my brain cells too proud to be seen
scattered, sprinkled all over—
well, nothing
Even this moment I struggle to simply
write:...
