I dreamed your boyfriend
beat a social worker half to death
and I didn't step in because
I didn't want to end up that shade of broken
And I hate that helplessness
that I couldn't stop a violent tirade
of jealousy
because your social worker
just happened to be a man
and your boyfriend
is the kind of crazy that sees threats
in outstretched hands
And you, you didn't do anything
because you never do anything
too busy looking in a mirror
making sure you're flawless
and perfect
while the world...

anticipation and fear
I fear the oncoming change
the way my heart breaks open
and bleeds truths
I don't necessarily want to face
I've found my safety here
I've found my voice
and the strength I lost
I want to feel alive again
I want to hold freedom
in my heart
and breathe in today
like it's the only thing
that matters
Instead I worry about things
I can't yet see
untethered by uncertainty
and past failings
There is so much love
in the hands that reach out
and help hold back
the rush of...
the way my heart breaks open
and bleeds truths
I don't necessarily want to face

I want to hold freedom

and breathe in today

Monophobia
Teddy bears and toys
Paper sack to dull the noise
Feeling like a mannequin
Posed still in the void
In the wilds of scampish ghosts
In the gaze of deepest cold
I'm all alone, all alone
Tick-tick rings the clock
Where am I now-I've forgot
Hissing like a TV screen
Frantic and distraught
In pale streets of lullabies
In tall buildings plagiarized
I'm all alone, all alone
In labyrinths strangely schemed
In the space of fractured dreams
I found you.
Rocking chairs and suits ...
Paper sack to dull the noise
Feeling like a mannequin
Posed still in the void
In the wilds of scampish ghosts
In the gaze of deepest cold
I'm all alone, all alone
Tick-tick rings the clock
Where am I now-I've forgot
Hissing like a TV screen
Frantic and distraught
In pale streets of lullabies
In tall buildings plagiarized
I'm all alone, all alone
In labyrinths strangely schemed
In the space of fractured dreams
I found you.
Rocking chairs and suits ...

Methiya.
Placing his hand on the back of the maiden.
She turned in double time 2 obsorb the hate on the face of the buyer,who earlier,had hunted her down.
"What's your name girl?"
"Methiya."
"Your a sonnamite?"
"Yes sir."
"What is your age?"
"I don't remember."
"Your age girl!- your age!"
" I can't remember."
The buyer sits down,running he s fingers through the brutal pages. He contemplates the problem.
"Sit down girl,whilst I look through your paperwork."
"Is everything OK?" ...

the Last Tree on Earth
In my world, there's one last tree
somewhere the desert
meets the sea
and I wish it could comfort me,
keep me safe like company
I'm gazing at the swaying fruit
with a tongue that's parched
and a mouth that's mute..
and all I want
is to lay near it's roots
under that blasted sky of blue
So somewhere several feet away
I'm sitting just outside it's shade
comfort there beyond my reach
unfulfilled and incomplete
hands reaching, eyes praying
hunger won't get the best of me
For this is the one...

I miss you brother
I sit by your grave, knowing not what to say, it's been two months now since you were taken away, I miss you more brother every day,
I'm looking after mum, but she is a mess, contemplating suicide because of the stress, I feel like I've been punched in the chest
I can't sleep , I'm scared of what mum may do, we can't lose her the same way we lost you,
I believe you waited for me before you passed on, it's the longest ever trip that I've done,
I don’t know how we're going to get through this, but we will, we have to,
So if you're...

Bathing in the ocean of darkness
Once I just saw the beauty in melancholy
Now Im drawn to despair obsessively
Im bathing in the ocean of darkness
It's dangerous
Cause soon I may drown
The darkness overshadows the light
Until it's gone completely
The ocean floods my mind
Until the last ship of happiness has been taken away by the darkest of waves
I need to shield the dark waves
I need to find the light
But the darkness controls me
One side of me doesn't want the light
It wants to bathe in the ocean of darkness,
The sea of sorrow, ...

5 a m
lost adrift
here again
in the wee hours
of early morning
im not surprised
at all
for its not
the first night
nor first time
outer and inner traumas
have combined
to link up into
these heavy
knotted chains
ive stayed up
all night
feeling unable
to set myself free from
much less
sufficiently describe
unable to unlock
break or escape
until hour after hour
of all these
nights without sleep
have all lapsed
slipped sleeplessly away
without any ...

The Hollow
Been near a month I reckon” spoke Mrs. Battersby
Holding her hat as she steered her cart
“Troops are advancing on the front” I heard on the wireless spoke Mr. Harrisburg
The wind let out a distant cry
A paper blew past down the street
Children were heard around the corner
It had been a few days since the air raid siren wailed her banshee scream
Strange thing, no rain but lightening
Moving cloud to cloud like a Jacob's ladder
A far off thunder
A sinister crack
Signs foretold of the Devil
Townsfolk murmured
“Run along...
Holding her hat as she steered her cart
“Troops are advancing on the front” I heard on the wireless spoke Mr. Harrisburg
The wind let out a distant cry
A paper blew past down the street
Children were heard around the corner
It had been a few days since the air raid siren wailed her banshee scream
Strange thing, no rain but lightening
Moving cloud to cloud like a Jacob's ladder
A far off thunder
A sinister crack
Signs foretold of the Devil
Townsfolk murmured
“Run along...

Oceans Behind Walls
I am my own war.
My longing met by short bursts of not today Satan.
I am my own heartbreak, love given only for me to reject it when it comes back. Is it fear? Or is the response right?
Why do I feel the need to conquer myself continually?
Natural desire dampened by spiritual tears and chastisment.
Truly, I am my own worst enemy.

Peril
Everywhere I go, everywhere I know, they are watching. I can't even sleep, all I can do is weep. They watch me in the shower, they watch as I pick a flower. They don't leave me alone, they won't leave me alone. As I write this they watch me laughing and grinning. Its becoming too much. I don't know what to do. I wan't someone to help. They can't help. They say im insane and theres nothing their. Please God help.
