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.

Breathe under water
I’ve learnt to breathe
under water
secrets were stronger
than the pressure
I’ve seen the drowned
even with their gills
silence kept me alive
taught me patience
humility wasn’t a choice
it was the way of life
under water
secrets were stronger
than the pressure
I’ve seen the drowned
even with their gills
silence kept me alive
taught me patience
humility wasn’t a choice
it was the way of life

little longer...
an unkindness of ravens
blacker than a new moon
weighed in sorrow
waiting to pour down
on the brightest smile...

Choose the next words carefully
In a moment,
the us the world
knew are now
stuck in different worlds
NOT LOST
just egotistical
for that fracture of time
and choose the
next words carefully

Dance without a rhythm
without
a rhythm
without
a song
I swayed in
your path
with all my
brokenness...

when artists revolt...
(Awooooooooooooooooooooooh)
Y' think you're the big bad wolf,
bwouy am the fucking lion
M' the hunter who shot an arrow
straight through Orion
…..Am on fire and
I’m here behalf of the starving artists undermined by the liars
I tell you, bwouy,… be a little smart,
and be a little strong to fight your demons in your heart
Be a part, be the change in the society
Be the one to fly against the gra - vity
Reach for the high, from down below
Just don’t step on any of your bros
‘fore you lend your hands you better...
Y' think you're the big bad wolf,
bwouy am the fucking lion
M' the hunter who shot an arrow
straight through Orion
…..Am on fire and
I’m here behalf of the starving artists undermined by the liars
I tell you, bwouy,… be a little smart,
and be a little strong to fight your demons in your heart
Be a part, be the change in the society
Be the one to fly against the gra - vity
Reach for the high, from down below
Just don’t step on any of your bros
‘fore you lend your hands you better...

way. life. truth.
trail of footprints shrieked of darkness
even though the light sparked in me
there aren’t any waves to erase them
so I walked towards life silently
new footprints peaceful & calm
reflecting who i am, a city on the hill
I take my time to look back far behind
they still shriek, but I don’t hear them
even though the light sparked in me
there aren’t any waves to erase them
so I walked towards life silently
new footprints peaceful & calm
reflecting who i am, a city on the hill
I take my time to look back far behind
they still shriek, but I don’t hear them

Is your coffee cold now...?
trail of the fires
you ignited
in ignorance
followed you
in the shadows
hidden in
your blindspot
to sit on your head
morphed into
a scorching crown
swallowing you
from head to toe
yet…,
your worry is
why your coffee
is getting cold
you ignited
in ignorance
followed you
in the shadows
hidden in
your blindspot
to sit on your head
morphed into
a scorching crown
swallowing you
from head to toe
yet…,
your worry is
why your coffee
is getting cold
