Lost In Writers World
I am just where I belong
Lost in this writer's world
Waiting for each line
To unfurl upon this paper
Blank no more
For me you are
An inspiration
Words that spill
Dressed in perspiration
Meant to tantalize
For sure
Captivate and
So much more

Waiting for each line

Blank no more
For me you are
An inspiration
Words that spill
Dressed in perspiration
Meant to tantalize
For sure
Captivate and
So much more

Nil Decorum Lingua - NaPoWriMo 18
Upon looking back to the vaunted past
wherein language beheld itself
in a stiffly formal manner
stringent in such chastising structure
to approach a matter by complex manoeuvre
in order to maintain sensibilities.
lest such wording offends.
And then compared
to modern lazy trite
rushing to mere grunts
and primal sounds
so unbothered by form
and just shit scrawls
compared to using a varied palette of the past
May the gods make sure this doesn't last.

I write poetry for my boyfriend
who writes poetry about his boyfriend
The more I write poetry about him
The more he does for his boyfriend.
Sometimes I pause and stop
He does not keep his breath and keeps on writing about him.
I asked him will you write something for me someday.
Just for spite.
He said it is a comic circle baby and you are a carousel.

The Whore of Babylon
Mainstream witchery
Spellbound delusions broadcast
Playing with serpents
Summoning presence
Dimensional pentagrams
No cure for demons
Inside of the mind
Pulling desires cycle
Social emotion
Covetous glory
Presentation imposing
To leave impression
A scarring conceit
Marketing bestial lies
Passing down hidden
Hungry monkey thoughts
Inclination directly
Taking center stage ...

Frozen in Motion
Leaden gray sky weeps
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through

It doesn't add up!
There's a topsy-turvy place
where time runs backwards,
numbers aren't what they seem;
logical rules apply,
but not the logic we're used to.
There's a wonderful place
where I've just aged backwards
because forty-seven is less than forty-six.
Nothing is something,
zero is bigger than one million,
yet the best gift
turns out to be worthless.
In this place,
women are valued more highly than men,
but children are valued most of all.
The greatest rewards
come from working with those that seem,
on first...

Significant
It is not what I have been through
That holds me down
It is what I have done
In reaction to it
And the shame
Of my decisions have kept me
Removed
Rather than actively trying
To correct
I thought if I hid from society
I was doing everyone a favor
Banishing myself because
I didn’t believe I deserved to
Take up space
Minimizing not only my consumption
But also my weight
Keeping small
Enough
To not
Be
Seen

Predictions
The author foretells the imminent and total annihilation of all wicked human beings.
Crime and violence will not end as long as unfair and contemptuous laws exist.
The author fearlessly previses NATO of the serious consequences of its evil, inhumane actions.
As long as the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights continues, wars will not cease.
The author makes a prediction that no oppressor will be safe anywhere in the world.
There will be uprisings as long as the heartless authorities continue to oppress the poor.

Akai Butterfly
Your love to me is a butterfly
Fluttering near, then away with a sigh
My sweet flowers beckon you in
‘til a poisonous breeze calls it a sin
With a gust it batters your wings away
Will your butterfly kiss my petals someday?
With a whisper your magic could morph me too
I’d sprout wings of a butterfly sunny & blue
Fly away, together, we might by & by
If you’d give us a chance, my Akai Butterfly
Fluttering near, then away with a sigh
My sweet flowers beckon you in
‘til a poisonous breeze calls it a sin
With a gust it batters your wings away
Will your butterfly kiss my petals someday?
With a whisper your magic could morph me too
I’d sprout wings of a butterfly sunny & blue
Fly away, together, we might by & by
If you’d give us a chance, my Akai Butterfly

They stole cash from their child
Monkey's on their backs

FOR OUR PLEASURE
We look, the scene unfolds, a twisted tale of desire.
Both of us chuckle and smile, igniting a fire.
I hide my blushing face, in the confines of the bed,
Like a bird, trapped in a cage, longing to be fed.
In moments of surrender, pleasure starts to find its way,
A small "yes" escapes my lips, as I try hard to delay,
Pure ecstasy consumes me, an impossible task to succeed,
As the sensations course through me, they're too urgent to impede.
I feel your softness, my sweets, down between my thighs
After all the times love was...
