           who are you anyway?
           i was just trying to mail this letter
           and naturally
           mistook you for a post office
           please
           stamp me with
           whatever you have
           please
           i was dreaming again
           they made us strip
           showed us to everyone
           in our wrinkles
           and our fat

Metaphors meander through the moss of my mind:

I AM the distance light travels
where the edge of darkness
is like a meaningless moon
or a cloud in a dense uniform,
where the whole meaning of God
is as if a dead romance of forlorn debris.

The people are more stifling than the heat
and they pierce through the back of your skull,
not looking at you.

Eye gouges
nose hooks
bloody knees,
there are a few more homeless than yesterday.


It takes a special person
to scam their way to the top.
And,
when they walk through the revolving door,
there is always another
half-way up the escalator

An ambient thunder smooth enough to cater to even the smallest of life forms who care to indulge in it.
And strong enough to crumble the granite of all giants who oppose it

The first poem I ever posted on here:

Broken Bottle

I'm a broken bottle
Sharp to the edges
Shattered and cracked
All over the concrete
Intoxicated with the beverage
That it holds deep with in it
Drops with the spilling
Into the gutter
Mixed in with vomit
Like a broken bottle
I lie here
Unwanted
Got no where to go
No reason to live
So take this broken bottle
Sweep it up in with the rubbish
Cos that’s all I deserve
All that I’m worth
Like glass in the dirt
I’m the ground
Of which no one wishes to tread..

I am the burning sun
that warms your hearts
and the quiet moonlight
that percolates the dark night...

First Aid

With my love
I tried to bind the finger of your indifference
And stem the flow of your loneliness.

I left her dead, barely had
any breathe left. She was grey
or blue, or both. Beaten to
a strand of existence. Only a
little of her left to stand
atop the world. I promote you,
Good Sir, to save her. For I've
done all the saving.

I am the words falling
From your lip
Be careful with me please.
