MY BROTHER AND I
My brother and I, while choosing a name for my nephew, tried hard to think of something unique— something with variety and charm. “Tractor” was the first choice, then came “Tumbler,” and we fell breathless with laughter, comparing impossible things— his eyes to stretching bubblegum. We joked about how his name might sound when he grew older. Laughs and tears rolled down our cheeks. ...

alone i walk the lengths of this world you’ve been gone forever and a day you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity when you last said your goodbyes i wander here alone in my wilderness while you’re out there on the other side i walk around chasing the light in a sky that clocks the time meanwhile i shed my tears...

Wiles
It's criminal what women'll do to keep a man down on the farm shed false tears strategy I fear pull the wool turn on the charm smiling all the while trap him wrap him twist him round her little finger and insist it seems should he linger longer than appropriate she deems for him to appreciate 'til he's tongue-tied up in knots with all those forget-me-nots keeping her...

Blood ,Sweat and Tears
Blood, sweat and tears All in the name of eliminating my fears Blood, sweat and tears Just to find myself inside a Mercedes, getting an ego boost when I shift gears Blood, sweat and tears Creating a steel Armour in the form of riches Ensuring the arrows of poverty don't pierce It will be blood, sweat and tears till when? My pains have...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand When presented with a choice Transported by a full force That lands me in a false chance Yet, I stand. Breaking the shackles That held me in my ankles So tight like a buckle Wrapped in my knuckles Yet, I stand. What is given is a Token The heart that bleeds is broken The life that fades is taken Certain thoughts can't be...

Life is a battlefield
This life is a fierce battlefield, Little did I know before my birth, My weapons should have been better honed, So no earthly force could conquer me. Friends I made while I was nobody, Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody, Those I loved with all my heart and soul Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred. Deceit...

Chaotic Thoughts
I think a lot in my head I wish I could just go to bed Blinded by thoughts and emotions The seas of thunder and errosion The crickets seep into the ears Blinded by the emotional tears My brain is exhausted and toasting My head spinning like it’s roasting These thoughts I can’t stop Accelerating to the...

Some tears are welcomed and sweet. Some tears are merely a bitter weep That bubble up from the deep. Wipe away those tears of defeat, Every drop that renders us weak. Victory tears are made to keep. ...

Marlaina’s Midnight Tears
In the hush of night, when the world feels still, Marlaina weeps behind the window sill. The stars don’t blink, the moon won’t speak, Her heart breaks soft, yet painfully deep. She holds her chest like it might fall apart, Counting the cracks carved into her heart. Was she not enough? Did she love too wide? Questions echo when no one's by...

your tears were my ambrosia
i never wanted to be a god— just someone you cried in front of. that was enough divinity for me. your grief tasted like pomegranate seeds, sweet and bitter and buried in the soft ruin of you. i held your sobs in my palms like something holy. like juice from a fruit i didn’t deserve. i didn’t cause your sadness. but i didn’t stop it either. sometimes, i...

The heart said to the eyes: “Cry less—why do you weep, When it's me that suffers, not you.” The eyes replied to the heart: “Stop overthinking— You get depressed; But it’s me that sheds the tears.” The heart then said to the eyes: “Stop dreaming golden dreams, Why spill tears at each flash of memory? It is my chest that melts with each tear.” The...
