Mellow sprinkles
Silky soothing kisses
Softly balming wilted petals
Sky’s tears

Bleeding Tears
My mind’s mouth kept me awake
Thoughts dripping with acidic words
A language meant to gash my being
As I watched myself bleeding tears
Echoes ringing within my head
A cacophony of whys and what ifs
Like a siren blaring over and over
With a piper, seeking to be heard
Serving myself on a dish
For my nerves to chew into pieces
Then spew my bitter leftovers
Until I fell asleep with a distant wish
Thoughts dripping with acidic words
A language meant to gash my being
As I watched myself bleeding tears
Echoes ringing within my head
A cacophony of whys and what ifs
Like a siren blaring over and over
With a piper, seeking to be heard
Serving myself on a dish
For my nerves to chew into pieces
Then spew my bitter leftovers
Until I fell asleep with a distant wish

In a Blink
In a blink, time flashed
Urging me forward,
Collapsed with a leash
Under the spotlight,
On a bleak stage
Belonging to the dreadful future
I’ve spent my past shrinking from,
While it has demolished
My life ceaselessly.
A slave under its spell.
Urging me forward,
Collapsed with a leash
Under the spotlight,
On a bleak stage
Belonging to the dreadful future
I’ve spent my past shrinking from,
While it has demolished
My life ceaselessly.
A slave under its spell.

Life’s Cord
Held onto the umbilical cord,
Crawling out from my mother’s womb,
Only to truckle,
Crawling into the womb of your will,
Strangled by life’s cord.
Crawling out from my mother’s womb,
Only to truckle,
Crawling into the womb of your will,
Strangled by life’s cord.

No Window
Young and confined
Bound within walls
No window
To breathe freedom
To take a glimpse
Of rainbows and butterflies
Beyond my bastille
Bound within walls
No window
To breathe freedom
To take a glimpse
Of rainbows and butterflies
Beyond my bastille

The Wind's Exhale
The wind's exhale
Blew the trees' dead leaves flying
I hoped for mine to swirl away
Fading into thin air
Blew the trees' dead leaves flying
I hoped for mine to swirl away
Fading into thin air

Lost Souls _ with "Adagio"
sunken within the consuming mist,
eyes turning blear,
mind clouded and vision dull
of lost souls in pantomime near,
echoing a fallen tear
hanging on to a shadow's hull.

Raining Tears
My dried tears
rose away with air,
stored in the clouds.
It grew heavy,
until they let it all down,
myriad drops.
I’ve grown cold,
my insides twisting
with frost creeping into every nook.
Drenched with salty rain,
dousing the impervious
blaze burning within.
Thunder wailed
across the funereal sky
for my fading soul,
soaring with inhaled petrichor.

Skin Me Bare
Ghosts have been tearing me apart,
With a tape sealing my lips,
I’m worn out.
So skin me bare like a lamb.
I need it gone—
This decaying flesh.
Mold spread over my whole,
Bones have become putrid,
Blood spoiled and my soul withered.
So skin me bare from this anguish,
Strip me of it with tender hands.
Light me up, let my blood dry,
Watch my bones turn into ashes,
For my soul to climb out of it all.
Keep me inside a cremation urn,
Safe and untouched. ...

Watch my bones turn into ashes,
For my soul to climb out of it all.
Keep me inside a cremation urn,

Serene Whispers
Nature’s serene whispers,
like a tender balm to my shriveled self,
when I wander all alone.
The wind brushes my hair back,
tapping my shoulder, drawing my eyes
to the plants and trees dancing
to the chirping birds’ harmonious tunes,
singing of the sky watching over me.
She tells me to follow the twinkling stars,
hand in hand with the sun and moon
shining upon my path to the waves,
there, I sit on the sand and speak for hours
to the sea and the universe,
wrapped in the scenery’s comfort.

To Be Loved
Tumbleweeds pranced
inside my deserted self,
my skin grown arid.
Fallen into a barren void,
forsaken on the shelf,
marked “to be loved”.

Inkwell of Tears
writing on empty pages
with an inkwell of tears
weeping letters
and fragile words
quivering beneath fonts
