"He Loves me Not" - Death
I've held you in my arms before
Drifted away in your warm caress
Your dark linens, melting stress
Eyes open, like stars shining bright
Already dead, burning across times
Groping for anchor as body sublimes
Somehow, here I live, without you
No slight hint of your fragrance
Deep gashes from your flagrance
So I live, to never escape, because
I've held you in my arms before
Due disrespect, you, I'll never adore
Drifted away in your warm caress
Your dark linens, melting stress
Eyes open, like stars shining bright
Already dead, burning across times
Groping for anchor as body sublimes
Somehow, here I live, without you
No slight hint of your fragrance
Deep gashes from your flagrance
So I live, to never escape, because
I've held you in my arms before
Due disrespect, you, I'll never adore

The Hate in the Darkness
When did I make this transition to a hater?
Dont know if I ever stopped to notice it before
But its clearly there lurking around in my mind
When I hear inspirational stories or read uplifting material
I feel animosity bubble up, like you would with a braggart
As if they're throwing it in my face how great their life is
Or how far they've come in their journey of betterment
Its like, yea fucking great for you. Im so happy for you
The power of positivity. The payoff of perseverence. ...

Inconducive

Dropped a shiny nickel down a well
Hoping for a splash
Hearing a kerplunk
What???
I should have known
expected this arid bit
no more energy
for no more spit
Been getting by on
perhaps, due to the well
having been dug deeper
from a hole an “Alice”
fell into chasing rabbits
or wishful dreams
(thinking)
I wish I was thinking
then I wouldn’t have to
ruminate something
out of thin musty old
air in the depths of
my ancient history

A conversation in my head
So , listen Rob, I really think you and I should have a conversation
Ive been sitting here quiet giving you time but Im starting to lose my patience
You brood and you sulk and pity yourself
And frankly its not good for our health
Youre dragging me down, always depressed
Just being around you is hard to digest
Im craving something more from life than this miserable existence
Everything's crashing down around us and you put up no resistance
Do you think the world just revolves around you?
That what you do doesn't affect me too? ...

The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name
- The Meanings and Symbolism behind my New Name -
If everyone was curious about my name change, it was for two reasons... one being that I did it to honor my recent conversion to Islam, with my new name being now Arabic in origin. This is a tradition for people who convert to Islam, to choose an Arabic name or a name with at least an Arabic meaning to it. And I wished to honor that tradition fully. As for the other reason, that reason is that my new name is also somewhat of an anagram for a name that I had in one of my earliest past lives. The anagram can be solved, and its'...

Winning
This whole world is my personal playground
And I get to choose how I play
I’m climbing a’top the chimney stacks
To better view this oh so glorious day
I’m sliding through these decrepit streets
Whizzing fast as I go by
Just let me fly up way way high and
I’ll tell you when to slow down
Only when you change your entire perspective
Can you really realise the truth of it all
That age is yet but a number
We’re forever in our youth
That you see
But this world keeps on spinning
I’m lost...

Memory Etchings
Today
I'm swinging outside
Feet touching clouds
Really living right
Days winding down
Wind's picking up
Leaves crying out
Trees bending away
Birds flying together
Chimes chiming loud
Hear everything stop
Skies growing green
Blinds, closing tight
Mom calling out
Arms waving 'Here'
Inside, running back
Siren's droning starts
TV's warning tone
Memory etching sounds
Upstairs, Rushing down
Cellar, huddling close
Makeshift bedding among
Armoire, hiding inside
Lights loosing life ...

the process
21 of 30
I jot a thought & save it
hoping to complete it later
sometimes it works
others...not so much
& I'm left with a buncha scraps of this & that
no idea where I was originally heading
so I set them aside
again...for eventual retrieval
I think my muse has a prickly personality
obstinate to a fault
refusing my attempts to channel our thinking
she clearly has other ideas
{apparently mine are too boring}
I'd appreciate it if she'd share her own musings
{pun intended...}

Disassociated
19/30
Disassociated
Trying my best to do my inner work
Being content with myself
with
no god
no friend
no lover
no mentor
not giving in to the temptation
to digest mushrooms
or CBD gummies
or massive amounts of libation
(as if the alcohol would surpass
and be stronger than the mind-
altering natural shit)
I believe, at one time, I was
ever alone, happy, WITHOUT
anything ….. anyone
to get me to that higher plane
of consciousness,
that existence
Somewhere...

QUANTA

QUANTA
Got more than my daily dose
of vitamin “D”
which hurriedly knocked me
into a lackadaisical stupor
I did not feel like writing,
let alone, anything worth
accomplishing to
fruition
so I took me a lengthy nap
Woke up thinking about
the poker game
with the neighbors, yesterday
and 3 of us trying to
explain to one the
interaction (definition) of
Quantum Entanglement
with varied success.
I think she is still confused

The KinkWizard
The KinkWizard, there she goes
Walking by, in her gown that glows
Her cape awash with spattered blood
Over her a head, a hoarded hood
A mystical being, so warm, so pure
You’re drawn in by her illusive demure
Cosmic qualities, calm and collected
Ensnared by her spell, reality rejected
Who is she, and where is she from
Better be quick, or she’ll catch you, run!

What on earth!?
What on earth is happening
What on earth is going on
Can’t keep up with all the calamity
But everything’s going wrong
First my dad gets cancer
Then I find my own mum dead
Now they think I have HIV
And it’s fucking with my head
Just give a girl a fucking break
Let me please chill the fuck out
Need a lie down in a quiet room
It’s stirred up so much doubt
Brother in rehab the year before last
A cousin with a brain tumour too
Got debt coming out my eye balls
And yet I keep plodding on
...
