Silent Scream

colors staining your true essence.
Your mood is false skewed, running loose,
and our known love is fiction trapped.
My heart insists you must come back.
I wish t...

Seductive Seclusion

...Sitting in such seductive seclusion,
it truly feels good to be left alone.
Your ideas are free to go sprinting,
the equisite desire of delusion.
Every daydream's a malleable stone,
it's tricky t...

My pen bleeds

...My pen bleeds by Blossom Monyei 

My pen will bleed till forever,
Staining the minds of those that'll even glance.  

Words that flow from my heart's endeavor,
Leaving marks that won't fade fas...

Why we remember

...As we linger in the darkened depths of time's unrelenting motion, 
It's a moment to honor those who embarked on this journey. 
On battles fought on foreign shores,
Their courage and sacrifice fore...

Sunrise

...Sun rising in the distance. 
Slowly staining the sky in its wake. 
The sky is painted with perfect hues of blue and pink. 
Clouds spread across the sky like cotton. 
A soft breeze blowing through...

silent kills

...Silent It Kills
In the quiet corners of your heart, pain took root.
He, the architect of hurt, wove his cruelty,
thread by thread, into your fragile tapestry.
And you? You bore it silently,

fool of a poet

...
the times I've been here, words in hand
      mind-sculpting verse of phrases, grand
         that speak of that, the cruelest school
   those moments, rife, I've played a fool ...

Blemish to Menace

...There are people who take what they want
pez dispensers of pain and suffering
gleaning never planting
rapists of confidence 
of fresh air...
staining the soul of everything
tumors in the marrow...

Dressed in Black

...The sun rises dressed in black
clouds cry as Siern's call
whithering in pain from burning flesh, burning ashes
leaving a bloody wound upon the Earth

Where stones stand silent in front of mounds...

Two Fine Words Like Cherry Preserve

...My name is printed in a column,
Politely, like a queue,
A school crocodile line.
Two words in staining ink.
My fingertips,
They have turned black,
Tracing lines of a curling print,
Prints burn...

Women are like Wild Honey

...They start thick— 
not the polite kind you stir into tea
not the mild drizzle on breakfast toast
but the kind that runs hot
slow
dangerous 
coating your tongue before you grasp
the pric...

Promise of the cemetery

...I’m walking beside a garden of stone stilled angels
Their eyes are unmoving 
But their soul is cowering

I’m cut between the heat of the earth,
The burning sun and the salty sky
I can’t choose ...

Of Paper Moons, Foxes, and Blood Oranges

...I. Sighting

I saw you  
through refracted light-  
a prism of chance  
splitting ordinary into spectrum.  
Wind-tangled hair  
terra cotta and rosemary beneath your nails

Pop Can

...Like a can of pop overflowing,
Pent up emotions in me overtaking,
