Depression Exposed

I cry, I feel, I hurt, I heal.
I still bleed when I’m cut.
Then why am I like a puppet,
strings cut, crumpled
on the pavement where
people pass me by as if I’m  
trash to be picked up.

Premonition

 
She said she had a dream -  
She was the queen of the parade  
With a full view of everyone…  
  
Her funeral procession  
Was attended by everyone  

Her final resting place - on top of a hill  
Overlooks the town

Between the Deep and Me

death on the shore
under the full Hunter’s moon,
my fight, a trophy
in your chest pocket  
as you leave me for high tide;
there’s nothing now
between the deep and me,  
save a few stars standing  
in my way

~(y)our ambre love above all & nil..


1.
~the accompanist


your
husky monotones’
 a shadowy dark
semblance, a fallen
 dusk’s uninvited
accompanist...  

-overrides
those blinding synthetic
ultraviolet spectacle
 
-elongates
in a menacing acuity

yet intertwining
with its objective origin’s
free endless hands...  

the extreme
‘8” connectivity

 -our
cyclical looping
       infinity




2.
~liberation



the koel
   no more
sings in its aching
melancholic grace...

..given to arduous
lovelorn rattles

pitch~ black leachates
of its darkening hues…
  corrode inner in a
choking necrosis

famishing eyes
   of one devotion…

in no tears, anymore


a fasting desiccation
