I made a promise to writeSometimes I wonder,
if I’m wasting my seconds
trying to prove love
lasts longer
when you drown it with gin.
Her ghost circles back—
again, again—
the Poppy wears
a saccharine, serrated grin—
(oh, how I’ve missed it)
nestled among
my worn-out keycaps.
I didn’t mean to write her—
I keep pressing delete—
But she never blinks.
I write, or she erases me.

Why I WriteWhy I Write
He asks why I write
And I say I must
Because the words, you see
Flow as easy as blood in my veins
The pen as natural as the air I breathe
Without it, I explain
The maze of my mind couldn't handle it
He asks how I write
And I say that my method cannot be taught
For my...

NirvanaIt was another night. It's around half past midnight. Windows are shut and doors are locked around the house. As I double-checked them to ensure the house's safety, my mind kept wandering back again.
It's the year 2025, and every house around us either has tall fire walls, or has high gates. I remembered my...

Today I Live and WriteToday I live and think,
Of all that could have been.
A whiskey I may drink,
To drown what I have seen.
Greatness is what I seek,
Yet despair is what I’ve seen.
Hope is heavy, silent and sleek,
Yet this burden is my sin.
I choose this path to stick,
Worth it all, if I can win.
Today I live and write,
Full of...

The Prismatic SelfI say the word and feign a Freudian slip
From between its legs duplicities drip
Often doubling as a quip and tasting chalky, just a bit
History will record the troubling truth
that I never existed if I don’t submit
I’ll submit this thing as if it’s a soliloquy
while being transparent with reverse psychology
When transparency is brutal it packs a...

I Am the Poem I WriteI am not sure how this came to pass,
for now, my life's blood is a poem written
on a ever moving cloud.
I have lived, roamed and dared,
now I am rooted within a poem
that is as long as the time I have left.
I awake and die, revive and render
the fat of my soul.
until a silent clock strikes...

happeningZWords activate something in me
even if I’m just thinking, not writing.
So I soon find myself back at the keyboard.
It seems that my life’s been a series of keyboards.
My motor’s always running—I idle fast.
But I’ve been untying my intellectual shoe-strings recently.
Dissociatively avoiding intellective pursuits,
and embracing entropy (since school ended).
It’s been relaxing—I’ve felt new to my body.
There’ve...

Why I writeFor velvet vanity and silver sanity
I write to unite mind and heart on sleeve
To free myself while imprisoning God in me
I write to escape at the same time I chase
My own path and wrath just to save face
I write to erase my sins and rewrite them
But this time with a whimsical smile
For a...

Play-Doh PoetryPlaying with words is like playing with Play-Doh for the first time,
mixing colors
messing with structures,
feeling it's designs between your fingers.
All five of them.
And then delicately stroking its surface with the others,
learning to comprehend the difference between smooth and rough,
and that the difference between them defines beauty.
It's like wiping the floor clean with its sticky skin,
and...

WHY I WRITEI write to ink my legacy
to tell my story in words & lines
to leave behind a piece of me
long after I run out of time.
I write because the African Helicon once spoke
to the small & unsure child I was.
Its poems held a map
a way I will find my true self.
I write to heal & to...

The Prismatic Self - POTD"Poetry is important to the writer but I feel it is all about the reader."
By Poet
Today as I open up my computer what will I see,
a contest looking back at me?
As I read the rules I must decide is this one for me,
or will it haunt me if I turn it away?
No mask needed...
