POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have a passion to create stories, draw characters, design imaginary landscapes, write songs and compose music. I can honestly say DUP was the platform that helped me developed my skills as a writer through the years.
Paranoia
let me stare at you
to see myself through you
to see the person you called
“a little paranoid”
I don’t know if I can
handle the truth…
but,
aren’t we all the same?
our wants, our needs
love, passion, friends and family
live this stupid life singularly
one would rise amongst the others
while another fades in the crowd
one would shine on the top
throwing the rest to the ground
the choices you make
define the life you take
until you bend and break
when same life’s at...

Utopian Dreams of Melancholia
I kissed her head
and handed the coffee
I looked at her eyes
filled with an immense love
I took few of the grey hair
covering her face
and put it behind her ear
revealing the smile
she held my hand as I sit next to her
and intertwined her fingers with mine
then leaned on my shoulder
I hear the noises of laughter
kids playing in the front yard
she was looking outside
at the kids with the same smile
I was looking at her reflection on the glass
what else would bring
a joy to...

last words
I don't have the strength
to hold another sunset
can you feel my soft grip
your thumb on the
back of my palm
with the soft strokes
I see the whole life
in your eyes now
do you see that too?
I feel better to see you
without the wires
drag me to the edge
push me before you jump
I know you are stubborn
you want to go first
its ok
I love you, more
I don't want you to feel this...
this void...
I will learn to remain
with the memory of you
leaving...

I'm yours...
I
let
you..
take my soul
and sink it
in your love
anchor your
passion in the
depth of my
darkness
let it grow
spreading the
stems and fill my
hollow soul
hold my
ember heart
before it collapse
and fade into
the abyss
kiss me tenderly
as I lose myself
in you
light the fire
paint everything
new
take my lungs
I don’t need
them anymore
you breathe life
and I will
breathe you
I will escape
my...

MKOP - [my kind of place]
I coloured my soul with bourbon whiskey
with two more iced shots I will get tipsy
sun bled on clouds and drowned in the red sea
I’m under a witchcraft of the gypsy
she walked around with a rhythmic sway
disheveled her hair for David Bowie
my jugular veins flowed in the wrong way
as her crystal gaze bound me to the chair
she wore my black Mudvayne tee shirt to tease
and thumbs on her hips stretched her lingerie
sequins from her knicker spread on the sheets
Super 8 motel a place for...

Earth Day
another leaf will fall on the soil covered the seaming grounds
utmost feel ing of the hap piness in the spro uts of fresh leaves
time will ru n the existence race while all hu manity falls behind
us, we are the only ones w illingly ignore to e mbrace the nature
misleading l e aders of natio ns trying their b est to burry the truth
now its our responsibility to go and begin an era of sustainability

If I was a day...
I see the bright mornings always smiling
not knowing what the noon is gonna bring
always making the people around them cheerful
expressing the feelings of the growing soul
am the noon watching how the evening dwells
their minds filled with memories and stories to tell
sometimes I wish my noon will pass taking my misery away
the night will come and pull the curtains and end this day
day starts with the morning star but it begins with the noon sun
it took me a thirty to realise how to adopt to the changing sun
late...

Lethal Thoughts
"The voice of Nirvana
said, come as you are"
and I swear
that I
don't have a gun
no, I don't have a gun
no, I don't have a gun
how funny,
the irony of the lyrics
speaking to me
I hear the city
I see the city
from forty-five storeys
in the sky
the traffic down there
I remembered my toys
I don’t know why
but I felt
that was necessary
to shave...

the VOID
I woke up to the alarm
banging in my ears
still I was wondering
what's the word
ten letters - red state
snoozed it again
for another ten more
but for what?
I should've turned it off
am not gonna go to work
and today is Wednesday
fifty two missed calls
thirteen messages
ninety nine plus on whatsapp
two roaches came out
from the pizza box
but what was that word
seventeen across - red state?
ten letters
my neck stiffed
may be because of the couch
my cheek is wet with sweat...

Symphony of Love
you bring the summer to my winter bed
making me warm with every touch, you make
through the warm breaths, I see the lips so red
don’t tease me my darling please heal this ache
the chills your foot gives me under the sheets
I try to fight your toes with mine you win
inside the coziness increased heart beats
you try to fight my toes with yours I win
lets drown our sizzling skins in reds and blues
dance passionately on this white canvas
to paint a masterpiece of purple hues
a modern art only belong...

Forbidden Feelings
The love I feel compels me to be crazy to impress you
With the things I do, somehow, it revolves back to offending you
The charming smile mesmerizes me when your ruddy cheeks glow
I force myself to redo things, thinking it will impress more
I fly above the clouds burning my skin to the aura of the place
Fight the sentries to enter your monarchy to see your face
Petite rubicund lips pressed to hide the joy of those sparkling eyes
I enjoy this feeling as if a sunflower sees the sun in the morning skies
As if a cold misty night...

My Own Prison
wandering
the void
I inhaled the
darkness
to survive,
feeding the
emptiness
to grow
as my
hunger for
emotions
strove
my dear anger,
hide yourself
moreover, let the
innocence shriek
the dark moon is
here to judge us
sniffing our
weakening reek
be strong,
my lonely
passion
I won't
give up
the fight
can someone,
teach me
to relive a dream?
because it lasts
only a night ...
