masterpiece • with theEgoEffect
I paid a price,
unsolicited and exorbitant,
to witness the true beauty of life;
visions I hoped would have remained dormant,
and a toll paid by all, paid first and foremost
by fissioned spirits,
a hard lesson learned-
in ugliness exists beauty,
and behind the success is the meek
getting weaker, week by week, truths
heard in their silence; and then...
the sirens — deaf on one ear
for always turning a cheek,
with radiance hidden in the bleak;
undone verbs now resonate,
lingering in lost frequencies; ...

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Direction
I must be rational...
Yet that thought fades with each day.
Dull flickers of all I thought was true seem to be drowned by the morning dew.
A mere drop on a petal bares equivalent significance as the morbid reality of all our existences.
Lay sight in the mirror be consumed by your reflection, are your soul and body pointed in the same direction?
For living in the past is truly dying in the present.
Take grasp of this passing life, one day it shall diminish and you’ll lay on your death bed dissecting how it finished.

I met you much to long ago to simply call you a friend. We chose to be family and love each other until the very end. You gave me love and laughter and never questioned why. My heart hurts uncontrollably because I couldn’t say goodbye.
I hope you knew what you were to me even though I always told you, I’d give anything right now if I could simply hold you. Your laughter echos in my mind and memories we had together, thoughts that I will have in my soul forever.
I remember when my daughter was born the song you sang to us tones of sincerity, laughter, love and trust.
I wish...

DARK POEM

Night Terror
Paralyzed
Helpless with nothing more than a gasp for air.
I know this feeling all to well as your pall silhouette lurks near.
Slowly closing in, my heart races as my body tortures me. Stagnant
Chest pounding, I hear my breath inside my head drowning out all sound.
Eyes clenched to avoid my glance upon your face, pale as the moon glistens.
You will not leave until I bare witness, mustered courage with an abrupt opening of lids
you’re inches from my face glaring into my mind why do you torment me so , what do you wish to find.
A slight twitch in my...

Happy birthday
Rage engulfs my empathy,
Glimpses of my narcissistic self.
Memories of a faded past stained with regret , echoes of laughter torment my mind.
You were meant to enrich my soul with joy, just to be the cause of an incessant void.
Here’s tribute to our memories embossed on who I became, condemnation on the unfulfilled.
Ruminative..
Parturition into existence
Bathed in ichor, lungs filled.
Expiry by choice, more than one soul.
Enervated by your love.
