Untitled

Death stood by the road side 
and swung his hand to get a ride 
Many stopped by, but was never favored 
And some came, but he never entered 

When the road sirened my coming, 
he rushed and placed a checkpoint at the middle;
my body became the car he rushed to enter at last 
And eyes, his whistle for a clearer sight

He then control the steering of my body 
Straight to his packing log: the grave... 
Like an owl waiting for the night, 
am here wishing for the sound of the trumpet.

Trauma In My Mother's House

"Trauma In my Mother's House"

Some mornings came whispering in my mother's ears the torment of being a lady;
It explained to her how by the kitchen knife 
she was meant to breathe only from a man’s pocket 

She was told that her tears undermine society 
& her body worth not even a cent from a man’s wallet, 
Because she is the object that cannot fit even in an empty set

the door of my mother's head was opened by another strange voice,  
informing her that cooking is the degree she has earned naturally
& that anything above it, is a sin beyond reality  

Situation has made her to see this world as a cooking kitchen;
The aches from there is the comfort air she inhales without regretting 

In my mother's house, 
she is strong like the wind that comes before rainfall, 
Because she's the eagle that can withstand any downfall 

Her power is the milk that's capable of breastfeeding this lazy world 
& babysit any depression that wants to overcome her, 
Because her current life is the hell she is defeating very well.

My Love

You reawaken my broken cell,
Killed every germs in my growing love,
& perfumed my heart to your heartfelt joy

Every time I see your smile,
my soul dances to your romantic jazz
&make me drag heartbreak into hell

You're the reason I vomit worries,
Excreted emotional damages
As you cloth my mind with lasting memories

When my intestine became disgusting
From how my love was made rotten,
You came and made it fresh by caring
& moustached my heart till it realized you are truly loving

You are the chlorophyll to my faded love
The fertilizer to my kiss buried in a filthy soil, 
When I was the dry leaf to life,
you came & bathed me a love full of worth

At Our First Date

At our first date, 
I saw her as the only comforter
To my soul that's craving for true love
& then undressed my mind & soul & heart 
to bath in her anointed river of love 

My heart squinted into hers 
as it opened up the door of my mouth 
to say out all the romantic words 
I been keeping for the one I truly desire 

Gently, my right hand rolled on her face 
as I moustached her lips 
& smoothly rubbed my left hand on her thigh 
so that my touches can alarm her heart from sleep 
and become the employee to my love  
with salary worth staying long

Untitled

I saw her in a train that carries true love 
Her smile made my heart to tune in to her channel of her true self 
So I can see the screen play of how she worth being a future wife 

I fell off the mountain of my heart 
to immediately enter her ocean of roses 
& sketch my mind the tattoos of her smile 
I saw without any regret 

My body then apply for a visa of owning her love 
So my soul can be traveler to her world;
The day I got accepted, happiness became my meal for the day 

she is now the eraser that wash away the recycle bin of my heart 
that used to make me think of the time 
my heart was a goalpost for frustration 
& a Jersey to an unimaginable heartbreak
