ruinedI can feel it all burning down,
the walls I painted in soft colors,
the corners I swept clean for company—
they crackle in silence.
Instead of exploring other ruins,
chasing ghosts in forgotten places,
I should stop.
Sit with the dust in my own lungs.
Run my hands along the scorch marks
I never let cool.
There is wreckage here
I never named.
I’ve been walking...

A Gold DiggerShe appeared like a shadow in silk,
On 57th Street,
Where men lose themselves
Trying to impress ghosts.
Victoria — that was her name.
She smiled not with warmth,
But with calculation.
And I, foolish in my hunger for love,
Mistook her gaze for fate.
She asked if the Rolls-Royce was mine.
I told her it belonged to my boss.
She changed.
The voice that once danced...

I guess I'm sorry thoughIt's been a year now
And I'm still hooked up
With the one who'll never know
But let's cross this small ramp
Truth be told
I never liked you
Others might say I'm quite cold
But I was trying something new
I guess I'm sorry though
As you where there so I called you a distraction
Pull me out of the...

Riley's RemorseI sincerely apologize for posting a certain poem that offended a fellow Souper.
I deleted it after I saw how the style could have been perceived as a direct imitation to what they were doing.
I should have thought through before I posted it.
I deeply regret it.
From now on, I will be more mindful and...

The Crown of Silence: A Lament for King Charles IIIYou wear a crown forged in centuries of silence,
Not of gold, but of tears—each gem a wound,
Each jewel a stolen breath from lands unnamed.
The sun never set on your empire, Charles,
But neither did its shadow.
At seventy-three, you ascend a throne
Built on the backs of broken nations.
Malawi mourns not your reign, but its own hunger.
India remembers...

Misty Are Shadows
We grip hands in shadows
Winds brushing your tossed hair ,
Night dusting dew on our eyes
And silhouette of waves
Fade soft as your salt tears
Wash me from wrongdoings.

I Just Killed A ManThere lacks no fear in death,
?No pain in the grave.
?The pen is mightier than the sword,
?I just killed a man.
?
?There lacks no pain in the heart,
?There lacks no tears in the eyes,
?But the pen is mightier than the sword,
?I just killed a man.
?
?The pen bleeds ink, a river of regret,
?As I sign my name to...

Pardon Me"Good for nothing?
Yeah, I know I am.
I know I'm a disaster,
I made everything worse all the time;
I know it all, you made sure of that.
Now, what can I do except saying sorry?
Sorry for the existence I guess,
I don't know what else...
Every time I apologize you say I'm just saying,
Trying to be humble,be good but always...

Betrayed by you
Trapped in my head, I'm stuck in my past
Of you and me, fighting with our memories .
I want to reach out, but I can't pick up the phone
Your betrayal still hurts me, my love turned to stone
I lost my peace when I was you . Anxiety and depression was my only friend.
I know you're...

I'm Sorry You're Missing
—all this.
You'd love it,
but you lost
personality privileges
when you bargained against
the middle of my chest,
never starting
compressions
even though it was you
who shocked me into
an arrest.
I'm still
trying
to break free of—

Sorry for being me
I'm sorry for being black
I'm sorry I ever cared
Every moment
Every smile
Was pity
Why be ashamed?
When I'm just me
Standards on standards to fit
Expectations to meet
People to please
Now I am ashamed
Ashamed that I could not fit and distort my true self for others
Eight years old, on a staircase, trying to scrape off my complexion
Maybe if I was not...
