POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
In the depths of night, I find my voice—thoughts forming into feelings, then words on paper; a poet navigating a tainted world. My journey began with music and flickering flames. I write to capture fleeting moments, timeless memories, and deep desires.

“A Letter To You”
He says he’s a changed man
Believing in the faith as she does.
He’s speaking all the right words now,
But somehow, she can’t seem to hold on to him.
She tells him she doesn’t want a relationship,
But maybe it’s her heart that no longer knows love.
Her guilt lingers in a purgatory state,
And each breath she inhales feels like a weight being added on
She writes about him, and the ink turns into longing,
Making her question if she’s still in love.
These feelings, a labyrinth of confusion,
She had never been here...
Believing in the faith as she does.
He’s speaking all the right words now,
But somehow, she can’t seem to hold on to him.
She tells him she doesn’t want a relationship,
But maybe it’s her heart that no longer knows love.
Her guilt lingers in a purgatory state,
And each breath she inhales feels like a weight being added on
She writes about him, and the ink turns into longing,
Making her question if she’s still in love.
These feelings, a labyrinth of confusion,
She had never been here...

Reminisce: A Night Road Trip - in collab with Revisionary
Fireflies, like neon signs, lit up the tree line
Night sky has a hold on me, lost in a moonlit reverie
The same dirt roads we once traveled, feel so dreary
Tainted by the sorrow, echoes of our past simplicities
Ghosts line the path intrinsically
Taxing, our expensive priceless memories, now submerged in whiskey
Feeling quite cheap tonight, but one thought emerges when emotions flow turgid as tears rush to the eye
We used to sit on the car looking out to the stars, just us two on a road trip
Dusk approaches, and the silent loners bask...
Night sky has a hold on me, lost in a moonlit reverie
The same dirt roads we once traveled, feel so dreary
Tainted by the sorrow, echoes of our past simplicities
Ghosts line the path intrinsically
Taxing, our expensive priceless memories, now submerged in whiskey
Feeling quite cheap tonight, but one thought emerges when emotions flow turgid as tears rush to the eye
We used to sit on the car looking out to the stars, just us two on a road trip
Dusk approaches, and the silent loners bask...

Velvet Razor Love
In chains, restrained
From captivating you
From my velvet razor love
Yet, I'm lonely and selfish
I want you all to myself
Want you to devour me, full relish
Let your teeth pierce into my flesh before the clock strikes twelve
As you imbibe liters of my love
Infuse my lungs with your breath
I'll absorb it till death
Get mad at me, you say, "If looks could kill, I'll be dead"
Your behavior is vinous
Your icy gaze slices through my whiskey haze
Feral and vibrant
Feverish pants of unmatched breaths...
From captivating you
From my velvet razor love
Yet, I'm lonely and selfish
I want you all to myself
Want you to devour me, full relish
Let your teeth pierce into my flesh before the clock strikes twelve
As you imbibe liters of my love
Infuse my lungs with your breath
I'll absorb it till death
Get mad at me, you say, "If looks could kill, I'll be dead"
Your behavior is vinous
Your icy gaze slices through my whiskey haze
Feral and vibrant
Feverish pants of unmatched breaths...

Unforgettable Truths Of The Love That Stains
Pain is what is left
My thoughts ripple through my veins as if they were alive
Out of love, there is pain with guilt
Where my fingers slithered to a pen that kissed paper
Writing that my special love slipped from my grasp
In the absence of viral love, it's difficult to clasp
A flood of shredded tears erupted from my faults and flaws
That is now disrupted by the love pain I caused
My heart flourishes with colors that swell on the gray mind
Tough to paint pictures, when our hearts flicker with pain that’s yet to pause
Wish I...
My thoughts ripple through my veins as if they were alive
Out of love, there is pain with guilt
Where my fingers slithered to a pen that kissed paper
Writing that my special love slipped from my grasp
In the absence of viral love, it's difficult to clasp
A flood of shredded tears erupted from my faults and flaws
That is now disrupted by the love pain I caused
My heart flourishes with colors that swell on the gray mind
Tough to paint pictures, when our hearts flicker with pain that’s yet to pause
Wish I...

Reflections
Night and Day has gone
Love lingers, purgatory
Shifting the season
Isolated crimson hearts
Horizons await the path
Love lingers, purgatory
Shifting the season
Isolated crimson hearts
Horizons await the path

Scream of the Butterfly
Celebration of him, the Lizard King
He had many games he played in his head
To become different people
To wake up amongst different grounds
To wake up on the west beaches
Many loved him, but he loved not many
He wants to dissolve in an escape with the redhead of his dreams
Sweaty atmosphere, smog underneath the lights
Run into the bliss of blood-stained lips
Swollen pulses
Dilated eyes
Metamorphosis is in retrograde
Flowing movements of spinning vinyl of Sinatra
Misses Red made him feel so...
He had many games he played in his head
To become different people
To wake up amongst different grounds
To wake up on the west beaches
Many loved him, but he loved not many
He wants to dissolve in an escape with the redhead of his dreams
Sweaty atmosphere, smog underneath the lights
Run into the bliss of blood-stained lips
Swollen pulses
Dilated eyes
Metamorphosis is in retrograde
Flowing movements of spinning vinyl of Sinatra
Misses Red made him feel so...

DISPERSE
Repeating love's curse
Expires with every verse
Riding my way in a hearse
Physical to spiritual, diverse
Thoughts never cease but just get worse
Exchange dialogues without a rehearse
Gloomy walks on somber, transverse
Never replicated our love, no reimburse
Carve your love into my heart as I immerse
Into the oyster of your coerce
Time moves forward no reverse
Temptation reaches attachment perverse
With thoughts that reign over my consciousness, vastly adverse
Quick glances, swift movements, rapid...
Expires with every verse

Secrets Of The Cemetery
Cemetery holds secrets of the untold truth.
Where spirited souls lie there tormented;
With their pulsing hearts that rattle the dead
That awakens one that yearns to bleed.
Rises with frowns that glow in moonlit silver.
Where winds blow secrets to leaves,
That swiftly descend onto the obscure grave tombs.
The soul ascends to the existent.
Roaming its grave but in search of its beloved.
Graves hold memories.
A glimpse of two lively souls captivated by each other.
Their love was immeasurable.
Obsidian was their color...
Where spirited souls lie there tormented;
With their pulsing hearts that rattle the dead
That awakens one that yearns to bleed.
Rises with frowns that glow in moonlit silver.
Where winds blow secrets to leaves,
That swiftly descend onto the obscure grave tombs.
The soul ascends to the existent.
Roaming its grave but in search of its beloved.
Graves hold memories.
A glimpse of two lively souls captivated by each other.
Their love was immeasurable.
Obsidian was their color...

The Phantom Of The Love Abyss
The Phantom of the love abyss
Circulates
Within the velvet heart
With muted gleams
And glossy gaze
Arms cloak like the Phantom's cape
Safe in his skin
Dangerous melodies inside throbbing hearts
His whispers
Suffocation
Nape brushes
Arise steaming goosebumps
Scorched lips
Fiery flames
Closed eyes
Lasting taste
Hazy evenings
Fainted notes
Swiftly swaying
His voice croons
Leather gloves
Billowy dresses
Close clutches
Rapid breaths
Fervor faints
Carries the distresses ...

Decay of Love
Your essence lingers in my mind
You curl it up and puff it into plumes
I never wrote about you when I was present
I guess I had nothing to even say like empty rooms
Your deep-set eyes captivated me in their cerulean haze
Intoxication of your hills of veins
Hands that made me melt as you enfolded me
The grazes, the chills, it all remains
Perhaps life was writing it out for me
As I never wrote about you
I still ponder about our walks beneath the trees
I cherished the moments, not the debris
It's...
You curl it up and puff it into plumes
I never wrote about you when I was present
I guess I had nothing to even say like empty rooms
Your deep-set eyes captivated me in their cerulean haze
Intoxication of your hills of veins
Hands that made me melt as you enfolded me
The grazes, the chills, it all remains
Perhaps life was writing it out for me
As I never wrote about you
I still ponder about our walks beneath the trees
I cherished the moments, not the debris
