Parallel Me
I see you clearly
Mocking my existence sincerely
Teasing me severely
Ever wondering if you can hear me
Are you better than I?
Some omnipresent spy?
Somehow you seem cooler
A lone king with no ruler
Your stride is smoother
Attitude crueler
Your body is lean
The exact opposite of my gene
Walk and talk in lines
Same hysterical signs
his, yours, mines
Parallel sipping wines
I wonder do you think the same
Do you answer to my name?
Your skin is clearer
Approaching...
Mocking my existence sincerely

Ever wondering if you can hear me

Nothing as Everything Shou.d be.
As everything should be
as it was
ever never was
Have you come
Have you come to see
the funeral or stay? Do please.
Why are we floating?
I have unregistered gravity.
Life is best lived
Without bearings, as they say. Afterwards
Whiskey.
Do they? Who says such?
Listen— there’s nothing left but the sound of
A solitary wave lost in the very ocean.
Like, this sense that we’re all drifting?
Maybe it’s always been like this, ...
as it was
ever never was
Have you come
Have you come to see
the funeral or stay? Do please.
Why are we floating?
I have unregistered gravity.
Life is best lived
Without bearings, as they say. Afterwards
Whiskey.
Do they? Who says such?
Listen— there’s nothing left but the sound of
A solitary wave lost in the very ocean.
Like, this sense that we’re all drifting?
Maybe it’s always been like this, ...

Sleepless Nights in The Devil's Playground Prt 3
The 4 Horseman
Part 3
The Black Horse:
His eyes are sunken
His nose is flat
His teeth are black
His head is shrunken
His clothes are ragged
His stomach grumbles
His feet are bagged
His walk is stumbled
His breath is rancid
His body has sores
His diet is planted
His life is chores
He sleeps with bugs
His food is trash
He longs for hugs
He has no cash
His sign reads help
His soul cries despair
His life needs help
His attitude is fair
His...

30 Days
30 days of writing,
that really sounds exciting!!
now please excuse my attitude,
If I don’t sound inviting!!!
Hmmm!!
But wait…
it does seem appetizing!!!
Just the thought of munching letters
sounds real satisfying…
I wonder what it's like,
to write half this poem on a bike!!!
Not that, that's what I would do
Obviously!!! I have a clue…
What a blunder I just made!!!
mixing Zzzz’s in my lemonade…
I'm the little engine that could!!!
“I've been watching Bollywood”

EQUIVALENT OCCURRENCES
A deep cry erupts the city street
A mother's heart races a rapid beat.
A whirlwind swivels round her baby girl
Toddler falls - as the world becomes a blur.
Traveling soul up to the heavens above
With the taste of her mother's love
Stifling numbness of her body on the ground
Panic strikes - drowning earthly sound.
Scent of eternity and freshly-cut grass
Awakens as the soul bypassed.
Do they come back, O God, the same?
Do they come back the same?
Filled with regrets, remorse and shame
Like a separation or divorce ...
A mother's heart races a rapid beat.
A whirlwind swivels round her baby girl
Toddler falls - as the world becomes a blur.
Traveling soul up to the heavens above
With the taste of her mother's love
Stifling numbness of her body on the ground
Panic strikes - drowning earthly sound.
Scent of eternity and freshly-cut grass
Awakens as the soul bypassed.
Do they come back, O God, the same?
Do they come back the same?
Filled with regrets, remorse and shame
Like a separation or divorce ...

Changing
an early leaf falls
as the summer slowly dies
the new season's birth
as the summer slowly dies
the new season's birth

Dear Corona
Dear Corona,
I want to thank you
For all you have done for me
Thank you for all of your fear porn
Thank you for the fascist government
Thank you for the paranoia
Thank you for the loneliness
Thank you for financial ruin
Thanks for the insidious erosion of my life
But tonight I run from you
Not in fear, but in defiance
I choose sunlight over shadows
I choose my friends embrace over social distancing
I choose love and sex over fear and loathing
I run from you, I choose life
Fuck you and your fear
Fuck...
I want to thank you
For all you have done for me
Thank you for all of your fear porn
Thank you for the fascist government
Thank you for the paranoia
Thank you for the loneliness
Thank you for financial ruin
Thanks for the insidious erosion of my life
But tonight I run from you
Not in fear, but in defiance
I choose sunlight over shadows
I choose my friends embrace over social distancing
I choose love and sex over fear and loathing
I run from you, I choose life
Fuck you and your fear
Fuck...

Spirits Of A Material Soul
You lurk among my shadows
Watching ...
Your silence as loud as thunderous applause
Your quiet glimpses an indictment to my soul
But don't look into my heart
It reeks with necrotic flesh decaying under an unrelenting sun
Food for predators and bottom feeders alike
Charred to obsidian it will only revive with honest true love
There's always Jarvik ...

Naked
I am”
but what you see
inwardly and outwardly
free
“Cloaked”
to you in an illusion
I bear all fruit
ripe with confusion
“Unyoked”
bare of my shedding
invisible to the eye
in truth it's upsetting
controversy will die
“Enlightenment”
fragments of reason
sprout above their crime
blinding all aspects of treason
overseeing its rhyme
“Oblivious”
I thrive in plain sight
yet hardly ever noticed
the sun marks my site
forgetful passersby’s ...

Broken Faces
day to day life trials
crack away at the surface
shameful blemishes
crooked faults rafting down
river run tears
bruised and batter bound
misapplied scars harass
the eccentric lines of beauty
altering self-confidence
porcelain masks conceal
the ugliness of sorrow
bringing joy to emptiness
reflected emotional baggage
ripple through its pond
cascading false hopes of security
Open arms that once were warm
Now cold to touch
crack away at the surface
shameful blemishes
crooked faults rafting down
river run tears
bruised and batter bound
misapplied scars harass
the eccentric lines of beauty
altering self-confidence
porcelain masks conceal
the ugliness of sorrow
bringing joy to emptiness
reflected emotional baggage
ripple through its pond
cascading false hopes of security
Open arms that once were warm
Now cold to touch

reeds in gentle sway
speak the stories of the wind

To Hide a Heart
sunshine shadows cast
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born
reeds intertwined to darkness
