It's A Heart Thing
It’s a (heart) thing
Enchanted flowings of her essence
I know it’s a hard thing
To lay ahold the rapture of the deep
Grasping illusions of the light
Flickering on the sides of sunken ships
How it feels to refuse the demise of what could have been
Letting go of the passion that once gave death meaning
And in turn life as well
It’s a heart thing
The swelling up of volcanic proportions
Idolizing what you now know is no more
But a grave
A sounding board of rhythmic echos
Warring within its hollowed chambers
I know it’s...
Enchanted flowings of her essence
I know it’s a hard thing
To lay ahold the rapture of the deep
Grasping illusions of the light
Flickering on the sides of sunken ships
How it feels to refuse the demise of what could have been
Letting go of the passion that once gave death meaning
And in turn life as well
It’s a heart thing
The swelling up of volcanic proportions
Idolizing what you now know is no more
But a grave
A sounding board of rhythmic echos
Warring within its hollowed chambers
I know it’s...

Open your heart (to do list: after the breakup)
( after Rupi Kaur )
Are you a true friend to a friend, my friend.
Have you a gift you’d take all the way there?
It will travel in the small of your hand
Where he had placed it from the north star’s shine.
In the cold of night, and the heat of day,
For a hundred miles, for five hundred miles,
For a thousand miles, for two thousand miles
To keep its clear promise all the way there?
When you arrive at last what will you say,
When you arrive at last what will you do?
Don’t say too much before they...
Are you a true friend to a friend, my friend.
Have you a gift you’d take all the way there?

For a hundred miles, for five hundred miles,
For a thousand miles, for two thousand miles
To keep its clear promise all the way there?
When you arrive at last what will you say,
When you arrive at last what will you do?
Don’t say too much before they...

The world without you
After all,
You did save me
From the words he said
Before he was dead
You walked in
And made me feel
That what he said
Wasn’t actually real.
This is why I think
I love you
And it’s okay now
To let you go.
You welded into shape
The cavity of abuse
From the words he said
Those many nights with you
Heavy with your musk
Bleeding aspirin
I don’t believe in life after death
And this life is
No longer controlled
By those words
You entombed
...

looking for serenity
Looking for serenity
At the corner shop
They have sold out happiness
On sticks
Dreams too
They sell fresh bread
Moreover, plastic toys.
The greengrocer next door
Sell carrots, cabbage and leeks
However, no heart-shaped
Tomatoes.
Further down the road
A shop specialises in exotic cheese
and milk products
However, none of them sells Joy.

Simply out of Hate
2,996 lives claimed in the U.S. on this day18 years ago
a drop in a seemingly bottomless bucket
if added to the number claimed around the world
before and since
and our tears shed because of it fills an ocean of misery
when will we learn
Oh God!
when will we learn
a drop in a seemingly bottomless bucket
if added to the number claimed around the world
before and since
and our tears shed because of it fills an ocean of misery
when will we learn
Oh God!
when will we learn

graveside flowers
By the graveside
The flowers on a heap at the grave,
some given by love others out of duty.
Some with a grudge didn’t show up
as banal revenge of the pain from
the whip of her sharp tongue.
I found it difficult to comprehend that
my impossible mother was in a coffin
she had no respect of authority, spoke
her mind sometimes unwisely.
I saw she once slapping a police officer
who got so perplexed he walked his way
after threatening to arrest her.
She was an avid reader but never wrote
which was a pity she had much to...

Missed Opportunities
Why is it that
when one door closes
another one opens
But when the window closes
you're shit out of luck?

Spouses, Partners and Dream Lovers
I neglected the fantasy
when the shackles of reality
required my complete attention
to put the baggage
of a previous disappointment
behind me
We hadn't spoken
since I was asked to leave
and that stung
but despite all reservations
and the dismay of my current partner
the former reached out
Ignoring the initial communication
and secretly speculative of the motive,
it seemed I would never summon
to resolve this feud
in which I would always be the victim
But when things stay with you, ...

Change vs Change
When the world looks at you they give u change
Every time you looked at me you wanted change. When we talked I often hoped things would change. The world knew at some point one of us would eventually change. In our separate lives we went thru so much change. We felt the change in the words “I Love You”. On the outside the world always wanted change. The asked, they stole, they begged, even did something strange for a piece of change.
Very few cared about change in the world.
I asked for change so you give me coins.
Can’t change what’s been holding the change for...

Surround me
Another turn around the sun,
just a few
Maybe none, maybe more
maybe all of them
who knows what will come
For sure.
Spend the day yelling
Screaming, fighting, lying
Trying to reach out and hold you
Trying to wed the night
With an ocean of blue
Born without strife
Makes no man's right
strong enough
To stop another's dream
From coming true
So
I love you
And everyone else too.
Just breathe in
And let the pain float away.
Speak life
That's what's been given to you.

As I'm walking out the door.
The fact remains I love you,
as I'm walking out the door.
You're much too kind to understand
I can't hurt you anymore.
Certainly not evil,
but alas I'm not that good.
Sometimes you can't change a man,
even though you wish you could.
It's like I walk a tightrope with
a knife pressed to my back.
I seek the straight and narrow,
but I always get off track.
"I never meant to hurt you",
plays on repeat in my brain.
I'd die a thousand deaths if
it could ease an ounce of pain.
This is all there is...
as I'm walking out the door.
You're much too kind to understand
I can't hurt you anymore.
Certainly not evil,
but alas I'm not that good.
Sometimes you can't change a man,
even though you wish you could.
It's like I walk a tightrope with
a knife pressed to my back.
I seek the straight and narrow,
but I always get off track.
"I never meant to hurt you",
plays on repeat in my brain.
I'd die a thousand deaths if
it could ease an ounce of pain.
This is all there is...

Savor me
Take your time
You have to be meticulous
You can't just feed me Ur meat
If you never marinated it
Odds will favour u
If u add flavour to Ur meat
U can't pound me
Like taking a pound of flesh
Yes I take pounds
Tilting scales for u
But kiss u have to
Cleanse my palate
And I will have me hooked
Wet
Longing
Ready to savor
Ur meat
You have to be meticulous
You can't just feed me Ur meat
If you never marinated it
Odds will favour u
If u add flavour to Ur meat
U can't pound me
Like taking a pound of flesh
Yes I take pounds
Tilting scales for u
But kiss u have to
Cleanse my palate
And I will have me hooked
Wet
Longing
Ready to savor
Ur meat
