...of unfinished monuments and odes that refuse to be birthed as words
they show a glimpse
brimming dams of light
ready to burst through
and so you go ahead
and reach for them
wasting precious moments
gravity
sucks it all out
before your toe
has left the ground
why is it that fate
loves playing
with innocence?
she once said to me
that those unfinished works
are but
true a r t
i may never know
but those yet to be born
do call out
restless and ill at ease

give me the hue
that drowns
my blues
the dying sun's
gift
that turns
the world
l u c e n t
magic moments
creating giants
out of children
smiles
and
anticipation somewhere
whilst for others
wrapping up
of day's work
he who values gold
finds no different
those moments awash
in tangerine
some wavelengths
perhaps keep the best
for the last
bring me
the sandstone hue
and i will
be grateful to you
won't worry about the future...

there were too many motherf**kers for one room to accommodate
and they had decided
not to call each other
out
but when one
pulled out
a pen
all hell
broke loose
the speaker
finally said
adjournment sine die
and nobody inside
actually died
except for the few
(John Does) outside

write a few simple lines
write a few simple lines
speak a few simple truths
that touch directly the heart
that my dear is your Art
no soul is an ordinary soul
no man is an ordinary man
try living with that in mind
not easy but see if you can
beware the slippery slopes
of pride and superficial lands
remember the emperors of yore
left world with empty hands
no smile is an ordinary smile
no heart is an ordinary heart
forget never these when you write
reaches all is what makes it true Art
write a few simple lines ...

STORY POEM

13th Apr 2022 9:43pm
in pursuit of a life that simply was never meant to exist
they left
all their belongings
at the door
(of their havens)
felt all their burdens
too much
what is a happening
many a fast paced
would never get
starry nights
and the hypothermic edge
cradle life in the desert
post dusk
it was said
that they said
it was
all
worth it
mundane and benign
not for them [to fill
fill their existence with]
fortitude
and solitude
were their
longitudes and latitudes
the archeologists ...

the witness
am the dead tree at the hilltop
a relic
atop the dune
distance
irrelevant for me
for mirages
blur my rune
i see sea
and shifting sands
witness countless
drowning hands
amidst the waves
and on land
am the dead tree atop the hill
have an existence
and no free will
some see a pretty picture
of art
in truth
not much
else.
blue skies
or grey
or the mist from
the ocean spray
change me...

the stairway to heaven
destiny
she was smiling
that's what the
belief
was
before
the steps

the miss(/ed)teps
the straight path
turns out
not so
it is said
appearances
can
be misleading
then
one should look
no further
than the picture
at beginning

one day i will be with you
and yes
there will be
the usual grudges
imperfections
and more than bearable flaws
dear Mum
time
that inanimate enemy
i hope, gets lost forever
when am with you
and the man
who made
me
fucking around
and no good
is what i've made life
good to be at
but what matters
is that slipping time
whose grip, no one can hold
i want the world
to fade, away
you, him and i
and we wake up
on the judgement day
know reality
and gravity
means pass we...

it was said
to him
" go to that desolate rock
and call her name out"
you will
find her
and so he did
perhaps his call
wasn't strong enough
