That poem I wrote
During my morning run --
early, before the fog burned off --
wow, it was a doozy!
Meaningful,
laden with metaphors
from nature
about the reality of
being human
There were catchy phrases,
even some rhymes
One might even call it
profound
And then it was breakfast
and shower
a day full of work
and it was so good
I was sure it would stick
until I picked up a pen
But now here I sit
a blank page before me
and that masterpiece
has
vanished

Analgesia
18 / 30
Analgesia
You must have been on Your way
to somewhere, where absent & busy reside
too consumed to hear my words
of despair………desperation
Perhaps the terse conversation
was only in my head
or
caught up in a plethora
complicated thoughts
multi-tasking chores
and “what’s for supper?”
Barely out of hearing distance
I DID HEAR You, hear me
though faintly
by then You were well on Your way
to somewhereness
...

Puzzles In The Rain
I awoke one morning
The rain was pelting
Dogs were yelping
My mood was mourning
Everything felt fictional
The droplets scratched away
at my windows
The wind barked and howled
Like guard dogs chasing a thief
Then, tap, tap, rustle of a leaf
Subsided and growled
Splashes of traffic
Outline the sidewalks like pool boys
Birds of prey pursue their meals like toys
The coffee pot was hot
The contents were ice cold
The rain poured nonstop
Escaped prisoners no longer controlled ...

Fribbledom
17 / 30
Fribbledom
If I told You that I’ll love You forever
because I am not physically
eternal then either I’d be lying
or merely playing a game –
Right?
Is it all a game, anyways,
this interaction lovers
fribble at?
In and out
breaking hearts
on a rebound
making up
from an inside
& outside it all looks to be a
silly confusing game.
I want to say, “ I love You for now.”
The present sounds a lot better
than both of us trying to inhale

Listless
The once-vibrant forest
inside my mind
has gone quiet
reeking of dead moss
and damp things
no chattering squirrels
or inquisitive birds
not even a fresh breeze of thought
synapses – stilted
empathy – exhausted
motivation – missing
my body crooked on the couch
uncomfortable, slightly cold
feigning sleep
to deflect demands
somewhere there exists
a list
with important tasks
and genuine asks
including “time together”
Be advised
this is bound to be
disappointing ...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] Inhaler
I've been writing for an hour now
Trying to come up with a poem to post
But nothing came out from my mulling and musing
So I'll just write whatever flows
Truth be told, my mind is filled with NaPo
Even when I'm praying
This evening while listening
To the imam reciting as he led the prayer
My mind wandered and I thought about what to write
When I get home from the mosque
Different thoughts crossed my mind
But no poem was spilled till now

I Just Wish The World Would Stop
my peace is
uprooted
floating on the breath
of the landscape
my inner aura is
diluted
seeking shelter
whilst it can escape
my eardrums are
ruptured
marching beats in its
canal
my tranquility is
ushered
tossed aside like low
morale
my eyes are
saturated
in toxic elements they
see
my voice is
drowned
netted by the pollution in
me
I just wish the world would stop
uprooted
floating on the breath
of the landscape
my inner aura is
diluted
seeking shelter
whilst it can escape
my eardrums are
ruptured
marching beats in its
canal
my tranquility is
ushered
tossed aside like low
morale
my eyes are
saturated
in toxic elements they
see
my voice is
drowned
netted by the pollution in

herself
fine is just a word
to make the questions end
spending all her energy
on games of let’s pretend
sinking into pain
lifts her out of hurt today
something to control
when control feels far away
she’s the master here
can choose which pain to feel
she exchanges blood for tears
when reality’s too real
knows it isn’t right
says she’ll stop tomorrow
but then tomorrow comes
filled with the same sorrow
you’d give all your sunshine
to take away her gray

Zoanthropic
16 / 30
Zoanthropic
Woke up thinking I actually
understood
heard birds chirping
cats meowing
my mind truly getting it
all in.
Felt as if I awoke reborn
into a sentient lower
life of easy days and nights
and of natural (nature’s)
comprehension.
No time to be too busy
to listen to another
No time to be too easy
to ignore some other
Just time for communion
and repast
relax
release
re-live
unique word...

Tired
I did not not feel good today
I feel so sleepy as I write this
But I need to post before midnight
After 4 days of fasting
And six days into NaPo
I'm feeling the strain already
Not even a week has passed
Since Ramadhan and NaPo started
Yet I'm already struggling
I feel like quitting
The bad signal is adding to my dilemma
I hope my will to continue will prevail
Over the coming days and weeks
I know I will get by
I just need to push it slowly
Till I finish these two challenges
I did not not feel good today
I feel so sleepy as I write this
But I need to post before midnight
After 4 days of fasting
And six days into NaPo
I'm feeling the strain already
Not even a week has passed
Since Ramadhan and NaPo started
Yet I'm already struggling
I feel like quitting
The bad signal is adding to my dilemma
I hope my will to continue will prevail
Over the coming days and weeks
I know I will get by
I just need to push it slowly
Till I finish these two challenges

Farts and Cheese
I asked my girl for a poetry cue;
she told me, “farts and cheese.”
I guess I’m lucky she didn’t say “poo,”
but seriously, kid?? Geez!
It’s not that hard to write about farts
in a house full of Crohn’s Disease,
but I’m not quite sure I have the smarts
to relate flatulence to cheese.
Shall I write about cheese that smells like a fart?
I’ve encountered some of these…
But it takes a different sort of art
to depict farts that smell like cheese.
I googled the words, just for fun
to assist with this uphill climb. ...

Today’s (My) Heebie-Jeebies
Woke up this morning to
coffee, whiskey and WHAT THE F_ _ k?!!
…..no internet!
Frantically I went to work
coffee deprived, mind You
to no effin avail – thinking HOW
am I gonna notify the team of
NaPoWriMo2022 !!
Fours hours later
internet limping but alive
and up and running
during those traumatic hours
I thought about as opposed
to a spill (that to many feel
is just dribbling. . .)
came up with my thought out
PANICKY creation.
