deliverance or severance
deliverance
or
severance
for you to choose
for both
let you
move on
and
as they say
time
is one conveyor belt
will drag you
regardless
that is
without any regard
severance
by choice
is good
all you have to do
just like the psycho from Saw
says
free up yourself
from the chains
before your limit of tolerance
gets you
if you get through
you'll only end up
with some loss of a body part

MISCELLANEOUS POEM

24th Dec 2017 2:48pm
they said androgynous were the angels
before you could point me
my psychosis
and its gravity
lemme go
and grab my tea
lemongrass tinged
yet chemical free
my baptism
only highlighted
my libertine existence
they said androgynous
were the angels
and i were not one
you say my psychosis
is self inflicted
and the world
is doing its best
all the time
like i'm the hour hand
and it-the minutes
chasing me clockwise
to reach out
to me
i say yes
indeed
do feel the same ...

to write a poem sweet
she said
write me a poem sweet
and i obliged
nomind
all was going well
till the nib
touched the paper
then
the pen
refused to move
the sweet nothings
emanating from the brain
just wouldn't
go past the heart
which had become
a giant sink hole
what happened?
she asked
why aren't you writing yet?
i had no answers
for i really had none
as the mind itself
was clueless
and i stayed
stunned ...

effects
cool ridge
cove pristine
tranquil waters
place serene
lush canopy
views green
gushing falls
gorge to lean
ocean mist
turquoise lagoon
distilled dew
azure sky noon
rain forest and birdsong
moss to keep the soul strong
effects you have
all in your brain
use them often
to keep you sane
if that don' help
there is no shame
time you went out
and stood in rain

when the rivers flowed wild
there was a time
when the two beautiful
rivers flowed wild
untamed
as they should be
confluence
of their tributaries
the creeks that were
the veins
the arteries
of the landscape
carrying
the lifeblood
and the life
of life
nature
natural
till some wise idiot
saw their potential
to tap this life
and
make it a power source
to light up the night
of a few hundred homes
at the cost of what seemed
only two wild beasts
that ought to be tamed
nature ...

pile of meat and bones
a pile of meat and bones
is what you are
when arousal
is over
or
as they say
when you are
sexy no more
hormones
her moans
play their part
yet
primal instinct
is the driver
lust
love
urge
thirst
call it what you want
what you want is not
what you want
it is
what your driver
is after
and when that drive stops
(till the next drive at least)

the tendency
to wreck
the joint
[to wreck]
what's precious
is but
purely
human
instinctive
intrinsic
sick
to put self
in a bind
to turn an eye
blind
to the
oncoming stampede
to pull the linchpin
to kill the grin
clean
off smiling beautiful faces
you
being you
being human
you say?
well
fuck the human you
and fuck your humanity!
i'll pay with my life
to buy you some sanity
'cause

from :-) to :-(
i see you here
i see you there
then i see you
nowhere
and
at that moment
the cheeks just drop
from :-) to :-(
like a silent yet fast
deflation
of the heart, mind
and soul
well life
has its
crests and troughs
soft and toughs
and these
troughs
and toughs
i really think
i can
do without!

the dance of an old man
he sat
motionless
under
the old oak
frail body
wrinkled skin
saggy, tired eyes
till he heard
the music
and
began
to sway
in joy
in company
of spirits
immersed
in music
of the soul
for the soul
and he moved
swimming through the air
a million moments
'tween the steps
leaving earth
and landing back
head
swinging
in unison
with the boughs
eyes
closed
in trance
...

unheard
the wails
behind
the stone-face
where
they echo
inside the tunnel
dug by time
connecting the heart
and the mind
inflated chest
clenched fists
eyes
ready to explode
all
tempered
by a bond
invisible
some day
some spoilsports
will get their due
behind
the stone-face
where
they echo
inside the tunnel
dug by time
