the box
a battered elm box with rusted hinges
corners worn from years of use
latches that require a specific touch
deep gouges scar its surface
betrayin the chaos it holds
its weight shifts unpredictably
light enough to balance on fingertips
then breakin shoulders with its burden
an object that breathes in shadows
expandin slightly with every heartbeat
durin quiet hours it whispers in C minor
the same broken chord repeatin til dawn
the lid stubbornly resists
til struck at the upper left edge
a sharp blow that momentarily...

POETRY UNSAFE
She doesn't like to see me
take bath in the sun
or cross the doors naked
the body frightens her
even in the dark
as if buried in dust
the whole year passes
with her turning on me
like rheumatic twinge
emptiness haunts
with mind in the gutter
poetry unsafe
--R K Singh

tracks, tunnels, trains....
I see the truth-i so desperately choose to refuse; I soak within illusions- because they're comfortable.... like being fully clothed- with a decent pair of shoes; things aren't all too bad, when one's locked inside a room;
drinking boose like juice- thoughts of life's impending doom; knowing that one never will get rid of shades of blues; plagued with thoughts that come and go- that opens all the wounds....
worlds apart from many- took the red pill and the blue; flight is what I do- every time chaos ensues; and...

Abuse
There are worse things,
than caring about what you think.
Like feeling like dying everyday,
Or going months without sleep.
Listen to my phone.
Can you hear me moan?
I know I'm not alone.
Staring blankly in my home.
I hope that when I smile,
It makes you happy for a while.
Because I never get to see you,
I only get to tease you.
I hope that all your friends,
Understand why I hate them.
Always trying to blend in,
While I constantly miss him.
I...

"Dream world" vs "Waking world"
sometimes the "dream world" is where I'd like to be; there's this chance that "favor" is granted almost automatically;
even though within the "dream world"-aspects of the "waking world" more or less bleeds within the lines- of the blurry fantasy;
the "waking world"(madness dressed in illusion)is mostly a harsh reality- filled with peaks and valleys- storms consistent of bricks and stones- guaranteed damage to the psyche(though we wonder why...

The Gov't Wants You (Collab with AfterSexDilemma)
You come over and I'll feed you.
Then rape you and tattoo my name on you.
Insert a tracking device and chain you to me.
Register you in the government's cattle tracking system.
Use you for stud services and make lots of money off your sperm donations.
And when you're old, I'll sell all your internal organs for profit.
Scatter your ashes in my garden as fertilizer!
You the consumer are enjoying the taste of cannibalistic delight!
Then rape you and tattoo my name on you.
Insert a tracking device and chain you to me.
Register you in the government's cattle tracking system.

And when you're old, I'll sell all your internal organs for profit.
Scatter your ashes in my garden as fertilizer!

"was never here...."
sound asleep- there's no trace of "me"; a glimpse of an abyss- of eternity; was never here- but let's pretend i was- i truly never cared to "play the game" of- how long could one stay above- the ground and reasonably sane....
truths or dares- hide and seeks- conversations with an idea of at least one imaginary entity- about how could this all be? starting with the family tree....
.... asking questions to the entity- like why and what is this all for? most waking moments i want that path of least resistance-light with ease...

How Many Times
That bastard sun shines down
Upon my porcelain heart
Ready to break
At any instant
A blackhole once loved
Leaves me defiant
Sinking in this whirlpool
Left deaf by the cuckoo
Always roaring
With that inner voice
The tragedy called life
Leaves a simple choice
Upon my porcelain heart
Ready to break
At any instant
A blackhole once loved
Leaves me defiant
Sinking in this whirlpool
Left deaf by the cuckoo
Always roaring
With that inner voice
The tragedy called life
Leaves a simple choice

we are all just caught in a frame
you know that moment on the bus when you’re
aware that you’re talking to yourself
and embarrassed you look out of the window
and the world carries on just the same ..
aware that you’re talking to yourself
and embarrassed you look out of the window

Green House
I am one- one out of the not so many-
that sees, & feels deeply the illusion- the dead end;
every waking moment- this "some-body"-
housing a flickery flame flighty energy;
buried alive while at the same time within as well as extension of the "belly of the beast....
no wings to fly away- weighed down by the force of gravity;
a "greenhouse", is the one and only dream-that
one's soul encased in this fleshy machine seeks;
Ideally the best quality of endless weed-
to take...

Nuclear Family
Have you tested your nuclear family today?
You may need to
There's been a nation wide falling out amongst this group
I wouldn't get to close
You may catch what they already have
Once contaminated,
Like so many American families
You'll never leave your home again
You may need to
There's been a nation wide falling out amongst this group
