POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Started writing poems quite late Sometimes staying up late and my thoughts relay On paper, an ink and paper, my companions Words reverberating in my head, my ardent minions.
Societal Illusions
Illusions in my mind;
Pasts, memories behind;
Silence loudly speaks,
Present fading into time;
Nightmares turn beautiful,
Daydreams, a mirage;
The future is caving in;
Would it be my demise?
Dark clouds hovering;
Things ain't just working;
Hope seems bleak
And they tell us, "just go for it".
Nothing has changed,
Guess I missed it; am I deranged?
Or was it too minute
I needed a microscope to observe it?
Problems, problems, problems,
What are the solutions?
Annihilation, could be one. ...

TRIALS OF LOVE
I wish you know how I feel
About how me, you, us
Existing in a world created
By us, you, me but not them;
Not living, because I can’t feel life
In, in this thing defined by, by
A four-letter word, yet ruling
Not just me, you, us but also them.
I wish you know how I feel;
How much I want this to be real.
But you won’t, will you?
Your mind is clearly drifted
Away from the horizons of my
My love, yet I live in a hope,
In a belief strong with a will
That our hearts will cross again.
But what if they never meet
At the...

FOR ALL TIME
FOR ALL TIME
A continuum of flowing winds
Over my old, fragile skin;
Feelings of a touch soft and
Of desires reawakening
I will remember for all time.
Through spheres in 3-dimensional
Space, across worlds paranormal
And of infinite dimensions
My attention in incarceration
I will remember for all time.
Down-to-earth to a depth,
To a fault through the eyes
Of those in distant proximity
To my being, my essence
I will preserve for all time.
Pounding of nerves by anxiety
In this fragile world of mine
Where my...

valentine away from you
I know how far from you I am
But through astral projection I reach to you
My hands stretched out
Longing for your grip
And together create a new bridge
Create a new transport system
Connecting us even when we are miles apart
Within seconds, more than a bullet train
In my solitude, you are my crowd
In the midst of the silence that surrounds me
Yours is distinct and I’m captivated by it
My attention is focused on you like a laser beam
My words adorn the atmosphere with your name
And within the breeze, blowing through the trees
Your...

Dread
She was walking down the boulevard
In an unholy hour of the night
What happened before now she couldn't tell
One thing she knew was she had to go home
She was alone
The trees that adorned the walkways stood tall
Creating shades that rather seemed uncomfortable
The streetlights were switched off
The environment seeming eerie
That wasn't a good thing
It was a cold night and she barely wore clothes
She was in bum shorts and sleeveless shirt
She had on her a muffler
Her feet protected by Jimmy Choo

It's Over
I look at your face, hair, skin
Hoping to touch your lovely lips
Longing to hug you in an embrace tight
Till we pass time in the lonely night
But it seems your thoughts aren't same as mine
You've never left a clue to show I'll be thine
You push me away when I want to be close
To you, oh! I'm a dreamer I suppose
I made myself a promise not to call again
Because all you give me is hurt and pain
I have tried so hard to kill these desires
I led myself into an emotional quagmire
Now I have made my resolve
Not to think about this,...

The Storm
Clouds forming dark aura
Leaves rustling as the wind blows
Causing trees to bend over
In submission to a force greater
Lightning flashes and the thunder roars
Frightened kids run to hide
Smashing through closed doors
They've never seen such before
The heavens let down tears
Like a dam that's lost hold of water
The people now are filled with fear
Clinging to those they hold dear
The houses can't withstand the storm
The brute force of the hurricane
Males and females engulfed in a maelstrom
Hoping for the passing of the...

Cold
The nights have been so cold
Goose bumps on my skin
Chills all over me
I can't shake this feeling
Oops! Nausea sets in
I have been thinking too much
Anxiety, how cruel you can be
Stealing time then killing your host softly
I can't believe I embraced you with open arms
Giving you access to my fragile mind
You searched deep and found my weakest link
Now you opened to me the pain I suppressed
Now I lay here in this cold night
Goose bumps on my skin
Chills all over me.

Tears Dried
I could hear him cry, aloud
I could feel the tears, phlegm down his mouth
He's just a child but the mum won't understand
She was too defiant to maintain her scolding stand
He wouldn't stop crying
I couldn't stop my heart from pounding
I asked myself if she was actually prepared to have this baby
Or was it a mistake unexpected, maybe.
I went out of my room, walking towards her door
I called out her child's name, "Nelson", and the crying stopped
He came outside, filled with joy in his heart
In me a playmate he had, a friend who...

Against Self
The death of my bro made me lose focus/ Life
took a different turn, twas all hocus pocus/
Derailed from my path and embarked on a death
road/ Now my life is subjected to a chokehold/
Wanted life to cease but how could I stop it/
Slept at night always tossing and turning/ Satan
got hold of me and I couldn't kick him/ He finally
introduced me to so many addictions/
I was stuck in a tug of war/ Fighting sin with my
mind, ignoring the Lord/ Never took my scabbard
and unsheathe my sword/And slash these demons
till I killed them all/
It felt too...

Addictions
It started as a craving,
One unwavering,
To quench a hunger
And have it no longer.
“Just this once,
It will suffice.
Excitement for once
Won’t break life’s dice.”
He finally conceded
He thought he had succeeded
He never knew where he headed
A mental death road he treaded.
It was the beginning
Of things to come
Could it be undone?
It could have, before the beginning.
He was alone; lost to the world
With feelings of rejection.
“Lemme get some more
Of this and save myself from this depression.”

Alone in the Woods
I wish you can see through this thick shades
And be able to predict the horror that is about to befall you
Your screams coming like a sweet savour
Your cries like music to my ears
Feeling the pleasure that is climaxed by your sense of pain
With delicate touches that make you moan
With painful touches that make your voice high-pitched
Nobody around to here you at all.
Nobody is watching
This is a game between you and me
In a small world of our own before the day comes
In this shack in the middle of the woods
It is autumn and the ground is...
