Nocturnal diaries
Dear Insomniac
Its good to see you're still so active. His sleeping patterns are still handicaped..with late nights sprinkled with suicidal thoughts and day-nights with hooded jackets, flaired tantrums, isolation, a deep eerie feeling of loneliness and of course the scent of burning love-letters that seem to provoke him to willingly return to his Creators and listen to them mingle about his mundane life.
The 'Feelings' sent me a letter.

I didn't run
See I didn't run away from home
I just walked diligently away
From the uncontainable tantrums
My parents flew parrable from my
Catch twenty two-like flame thrown
Feelings.
Feelings with no inner-emotions,no blood-like
Shavings dropped between my teeth.
Watching these illuminating lights from
Beneath my tears....I ran away from home.
Watching the beauty of expensive cars
Cruise by from
My reality.
I didn't run away from home,I just
Stole a piece of my 13-year old
Soul and watch it culminate into my
Slightly forsaken...

we fought the law
A quantum physicist,a mother..
both delegating a
narcotic-like substance to a
perfumed youth.
Laws of unadulterated
abominations planted in a generation of a
slightly disproportionate youth..
but we fought the law,with our unprecedented tendencies of juvenile maturity...
we won't grow old but our loins might boil with the thought of conceiving a proud parents' smile and tears of unfathomable joy.We are the reckless,intolerant bunch..finding comfort in facebook updates and successful party shenanigans...we fought the law with...

When the world stops breathing.
Fumes. Tensioned muscles clog drained scars
With scintilating moments of mortally
Coherent french poses succumbed by
Four layers of ice cold lipstick
All chanting the truthless caption
I love you
Patronized by reckless indecency where
Weeks are meticulously compartmentalised
In galaxies of patriotic enslavement
Within those capsules slivers of flames justified
By the freedoms of hope peek
Beyond a mamoth mountain of momentarily glistening
High fives and whispers of sweet nothings
A foretold godly creation with female
Iniquities...

I write a poem everytime I smoke
I write a poem everytime I smoke
And watch leaves flicker from the abomination
Of slender,tender,big girls dropping
Bloody vessels into the minds of young
Boys.
I write a poem everytime I smoke and
Watch old,middle-aged young men
Ordering genitals from tormented
Side_walks.Preachers with diabolic minds
And easily adjusted zippers using scripture
As a pass-time.
I write a poem everytime I smoke and see the devils
Eyes glitter from fundamental drop-outs,emotional
Rollercoasters,seduced heaving lungs,unportrayed

Hell must be darker...
The past life...a fluctuating pandemonium of chaotic,over-crowded hearts beating in a rhytmitic plea for solitude.
With over-flowing eyes and perfumed souls,hell must be darker than the future of the man clothed in rags,tentatively pushing on a trolley where his childhood memories once provoked harmony.
What about that chauffer in that beat-up,worn down motel who sleeps in a one-room apartment infested by cockroaches and resounding reminders of his fathers loving hands pushing him so meticulously on the swing.
Or that middle-aged man with society gawking at his success...

I was once a poet
I was once a poet.
A thorough-bread manifestation of
Liquified similies and
Metaphoric sombreness
I once possessed the methodical
Ways of devouring beastly heartaches
And unphatomable powers of
Causing symbolic mayhem with
Ink and paper.
I onced sliced piercing carvings
Through disproportioned souls
And lifeless foetuses.
Now I sit on the bed-side of
A dying creation.
Inhaling till the depths of my
Lungs cough out blood-infested tears.
Crawling to my grave by proclaiming
My weaknesses to triple-distiled...

I'm lactose intolerant
I saw you mingling with friends and their friends and your friend’s friends.
Words turned into undefined objects, my tongue tied.
So I walk up
And introduce myself as the guy that sat behind you in grade 3 and the
Guy that lent you a pen in grade 7. But that’s not even half of it.
I’m that guy you and your sexy friends made fun of,
I’m that guy that can’t hold a 3 second conversation with you, when your eyes wander off to mine,
I shudder than subsequently stutter. I’m that guy you exclaim to your friends that
You’d never go out with. I’m that guy you push...
