Thee Madd Poetist
not unlike thee madd scientist
can be found painting raw amethyst
scattering verb like skilled ventriloquists
seeing the world in rays of ultraviolet
pushing the limits, the antagonist
is ever questioning if we exist
seeking purity as a naturalist
and blending words as an alchemist
that form thoughts of a nonconformist
wondering if we can really coexist
in a world ran by violent anarchists
afterall, we’re all just boring tourists
seeking the monuments of the quest
so don’t think of me as a terrorist
for I am not a published...

sanguine love
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you” - Walt Whitman
on day three, you ask me if I have a favourite word
‘rot’, you declare is yours, as you wait for me to blink;
‘blink’, I say is mine; you smile—as the tea leaves scamper
in the boiling water—probably amused at this declaration of
brazen innocence, another Whitmanesque anecdote that you
will lock in that cellar: that smells of mold, disinfectants,
and old soot; where I dither amid extreme projections:
a limbless...

A dark side with a positive outlook
Voices in my head,
Say that I’m better off dead.
But I’m too scared to die.
I don’t want to say goodbye.
I just dont want to hurt.
Anymore.
I want to be seen by the people I love.
I want to be enough.
But I’m not.
Not for them.
I want to take this painful experience and allow it to create something beautiful.
I know in my heart that my worth is provable.
But not for them.
For me.
I know I can be a better version of myself.
Life isn’t a book shelf.
I can judge...

Irreversible Power Of Words
You can't take back words once spoken.
They leave your lips and enter the air, carrying with them the weight of their meaning.
They hang there, suspended, waiting for the listener to catch them and interpret them.
Once they've been heard, they can never be unheard.
Words have power. They can heal, they can inspire, they can bring joy.
But they can also wound, they can harm, they can destroy. And once they've done their damage, there's no erasing them. No amount of apologies or retractions can make them disappear.
I know this all too well. I've...

It’s All Relative
An awkward silence fell upon our family ignited by the sudden and abrupt departure of our grandparents vanishing act. It felt like we were all left holding a blank gun in our hands and the law was comin’ to get us an hang us all at sunset! It was beyond surreal is what it was.
We all looked at each other and knew it was time; so, we hugged it all out and said our goodbyes in the courthouse parking lot, promising to visit together more often. All with the exception of Kujo & kids and Zane, they are staying with us for...
