Botticelli
Standing at a crossroads, why do I have to choose when Botticelli painted both the Madonna and Child and The Birth of Venus? I say I don't write for the purist, so why can't I create my real emotions—mental art—without fear of repercussions? What was going through your mind, Botticelli, when you painted for both Pagans and Catholics? Should I keep my work neat and pure, the cute shit that’s suitable for a bland palate, or can I give you tears and pain, profanity intertwined with the confession of sin?

Unearthed
My mind is screaming, merely mimicking my lost design
my heart is bleeding, memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost in my own doom
I am trapped, surrounded
Crowded within this room
screaming at the top of my shattered lungs
Not a single soul wavers
no one bothered to look up
They walk right through my scattered limbs
Leaving behind their muddy scuffs
And on top of my punctured ribs, they stand
As if designated to their blind...
my heart is bleeding, memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost in my own doom
I am trapped, surrounded
Crowded within this room
screaming at the top of my shattered lungs
Not a single soul wavers
no one bothered to look up

Leaving behind their muddy scuffs
And on top of my punctured ribs, they stand

Woes of an Relationship
I heard all you said/ I hope you got all that off your chest/
I hope you got all the emotions out and you got nothing left/
I hope you feel good about yourself and you can lay your problems all to rest/
With the smoke and dust at your back I'm sure you have no regrets/
All this time you wanted a punching bag/
so you can strike on it to compensate for the pain that was caused from your
pass relationships, friends, mom or dad/
When you let loose there is no white flag/
I'm sure this is what you meant when you said I'm a man you have never...
I hope you got all the emotions out and you got nothing left/
I hope you feel good about yourself and you can lay your problems all to rest/
With the smoke and dust at your back I'm sure you have no regrets/
All this time you wanted a punching bag/
so you can strike on it to compensate for the pain that was caused from your
pass relationships, friends, mom or dad/

I'm sure this is what you meant when you said I'm a man you have never...

Pay Day
I pray let me just fall asleep
I beg, let me dream when I sleep
The sun rises on top of my head and set on my feet
For pay day..
Am surely not too late
Am just roaming around the most strangest of a place
Holding in my both right and left palms an empty silver plate
I called this my fate
My deeds I have to pay
Take this to be what I wanna lay
On pay day..
Walk around run around always looking sideways
Even if I set my sight forward, I can clearly see both the sideways
Lord show me the way ...
I beg, let me dream when I sleep

Ceilings
It's a rainy night.
We were in your house,drinking hot chocolate.
We enjoyed our time.
As time moved faster.
The ceilings,walls were covered in plaster.
And it feels too good to be true.
And when it's over,you drove me home.
And it kinda comes out as I got up to go.
You kissed me in your car.
And my heartbeat went far.
And it all felt like the end of a movie.
Of a movie I have seen before.
That I longed to be true.
That I wanted to live in.
A movie I wanted to last forever.
Where we will...

First and Last Kiss (Ending)
We both went to the small kitchenette and found two Dixie cups. I followed him to his office and watched as he pulled a small bottle of Gin and tonic out of his small refrigerators under his desk.
After pouring us both a cup we did the customary tapping and took a drink. Closing my eyes and just enjoying the floral scent most gins have as it went down.
“It’s good right?” He asked as I opened my eyes to see him looking at his own cup in thought.
“Have a seat. We should not stand around after enjoying this gem.”
I smiled and went to the recliner in...

First and Last Kiss
I wasn’t making any progress on my work and the deadline is in a week. I decided that I need a more structured environment. Being home my mind tends to wander to the wrong things. Focus has to me my main priority of the day.
Looking at the phone flashing showing a name that I do not want to talk to right now. If I am being honest at least to myself. It is him that is destroying my concentration. I saved my work, closed my laptop and grabbed my keys.
I had a thought to leave my phone but I knew that would not be wise. Other people like my publicist would need to...

Long days in old school hallways bottle flipping choco true moo with no friends always.
It's not with false lenses just a snapshot of life;
I made some lonely habits just to escape from the fights.
Big blanket, crossed legs my personal cave.
A chamber for brave and the innocent slave.
A funny little boy with a funny low voice who out choiced the ploy and laughed, cried and rejoiced.
I always was the imaginative type.
The kind of kid who plays alone just imagining life with no labor, broke and no haters.
I just elaborate strife.
Just a collateral...

Autumns Glow Winters Burn
I remember that day so vividly
When fear and anxiety became estranged
The doctor explained unequivocally
The test results have changed
My body collapsed to the ground
As leaves crunched beneath me
The sun started shining all around
I could feel again, a harmonious breeze
Blanketed by a landscape of autumn glow
I was comforted with hope
Treatments for cancer she'd undergo
With the medicines helping her cope
I took care of her every single day ...

My Funeral, My Last Breath
I planned my funeral, down to the bone.
Wrote the welcome for a crowd I’ve never known.
Prayers for a soul that’s been dead for years,
but no one noticed, no one shed tears.
I picked the playlist, my final say—
AI Gonplei Ste Odon, where I’ll decay.
Because even in death, I need a hand
in controlling the chaos I could never withstand.
I wrote my obituary in a single line—
“She lived, she hurt, she fell out of time.”
Nothing more, because what’s there to tell
of a life lived quietly in its own hell?...

Photographs, a collaborative diptych
These two poems represent a collaboration with a sleeping DU member, who spends his spare time writing on the sole of his slipper with a biro. The first poem is mine, the second is his.
Human Remains
We returned to the house
a time after
and mowed the lawn
and painted where
the paint had started to peel.
And somewhere in the process
we found photographs of how they looked
when they were young
and their home hadn't yet become
a mausoleum.
She wore pink crinoline on special occasions
and he wore moccasins. ...

I'm not
I'm no longer hungry
This loneliness is enough to keep me satisfied
My mind is preoccupied
Most people are deceived
That loneliness consists of absolute nothing
But if you gave yourself more time lusting for the void
You wouldn't feel so destroyed
Often I'm feeling toyed
Popping in and out of secure feelings
Not even sure where those even come from
You've got me on a long leash fella
and never seemed to care if Im your someone
Discarded it seems
From anything that would mutually benefit me ...
