finality
16 of 30
they don't warn you about finals
the final time you see their face filled with laughter
kiss & hug them with a smiling I'll see you later
nothing is mentioned about the pain
looking back at that last casual departure
or how your heart will be gripped in a fist of remorse
so tight you can't get any oxygen
the fire in your throat
burning the inner lining to cinders
from all the emotion you're holding in
because release may come in a flood so ferocious
you'll be utterly swept away
with every...

The Losing Game .
You go on as life isn’t a game where you have time out and to rationalise everything. I mean after a death of a close one you certainly don’t feel the sun or feel any fun. You’re wailing on the inside and quiet on the outside waiting with feelings that feel like a dose of gastroenteritis all liquidated and pouring out without an answer to how long you will be in cramping pain. No medications not even alcohol will not nip it in the bud it makes you feel worse you actually cry more, and you are in total uproar.
Please stop let me out for time out. I am on all fours. i don’t know...
Please stop let me out for time out. I am on all fours. i don’t know...

Navalny On Jeopardy
2/30
“Listen, I’ve got something very obvious to tell you. You’re not allowed to give up.
If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong." ~ Navalny
(Quoted by our own Ahavati)
When I think of him, his last day,
I think of him there in the courtroom
behind the shatter-proof glass
grinning at Putin's judge,
joking with Putin's judge ...

The Book of Death
The Book of Death
My grandma left a book for me
The day before she died
She said that it was magical
To write my dreams inside
The book was brown and leather
It looked old and kinda worn
But inside all the pages blank
Outside a sketch forlorn
A skull with tears, a sense of fear
Symbols of the occult
Demonic signs, this book of mine
Ignoring them, my fault
My grandma didn’t know me well
Well not what I went through
The secrets I kept to myself
I lied about the truth
...

The Fool
I'm allured by thine eyes, and thy beauty/ your voice and skin is soothing like a peacful melody/ Like a heavenly symphony/I'm immersed and embracing everything about this queen/ I'm paralyzed and hypnotized/ looking to slow dance with her and be on cloud nine/ it seems so surreal and I feel like a lucky guy/ until one day I'm internally ruptured and bleeding to death like a human sacrifice/ because it was all a big lie/ nothing pays to be the good guy/for good guys finish last/ me having a happy ever after....yeah dont make me laugh/ you'd expect a guy like me to embrace such a fantasy...

The Devil Does Care
if you want to be heard, just talk to the devils
they are very good listeners.
talk to men, deafenitely they won't hear
and they won't even listen, not only, but
they will anticipate your thoughts
The devil can give your his heart
open wide his ears to listen to you;
regardless of his wicked schemes,
it's all about giving a scope to expression,
a room to vomit your acid pains and morbid
recurrent sick doubts and expectations.............

Crossed woRrOADds
I'm screaming
from inside
the pretty cage you put me in.
And I'm supposed to be grateful
for the lack of choice.
A man who cannot hear me
Cannot care for me.
Should not speak for me.
You had my words
but their meaning
ran like water
through your hands.
Now we're sifting through the sand,
knocked off our feet.
And arguing over what the definition of love
Should LOOK like.
I don't have long enough to breathe, ...

ran like water

Now we're sifting through the sand,

I don't have long enough to breathe, ...

Those lace up boots
Memory of doc martens
I had a black pair
Joe 90 had cherry
I first met him letting off firecrackers in his hand and he told me the secret to having balls was hidden in bohemian rhapsody
I could never work it out
Sometimes we swapped one boot for one
How people stared as we stomped around town with mismatched boots, dressed in black
Getting high on rum and coke
Also from the smoke
Motorbike madness
200 kph what a rush
Then you told me you liked to close your eyes at that moment

I’m Going to Miss you Buddy
Be good, always be good
From the earliest of days you were there just to play, your spirit was just so good to start with
When we chose each other and I became master, I did not know all that that would entail
When you were young, you were carefree and dumb, much the same as your master
The mistakes that we made would one day be paid, but at the time there was nothing greater
But even back then I knew as you grew, my heart would one day have its day of disaster
Still for now we were proud, young, strong and stupid, all the...

Night vision
Crossing borders Canada never been here before.
Whole drive my mind and heart tore.
I still see you my love tears fill my eyes I still adore
Tree after tree each kilometer pass.
Pull up for petrol back out fast.
I'll break the steering wheel I don't ease my grasp.
Out by a lake British Colombia has peace.
Some lady won't quit speaking, go away please.
You don't know me not in the least.
I dint want to talk or eat with you.
I want to be alone is that wrong to do.
I had to move before my temper blew.
