Jolly by Golly
There is Xmas, then there is Xmas—
each birthed from differences
and responsibilities.
Earth pounds beneath you to love
like this you must be punished
to appreciate hurting this way.
Two thousand odd years—
whose logic is this?
Winter comes, oils your skin,
and maybe it would come without Xmas,
but you are afraid what would happen
without you.
Besides, living is necessary. It keeps things
as they should be.

The Fate of Words
A lustful romance
Probes the mind
Singing and dancing
It searches the castle
For the rarest of words
Those specially reserved for
magic, love, elegance and dance
It carefully tailors them for a form fit
Buffs them to a high shine
Curates them until they’re worthy of their message.
Then sends them off with a kiss
Melancholy
Retreats to the dungeon
Finds words long starved and left for dead
Lines them up in haphazard order
Then marches them out in the cold
To execute their duties
Of carrying a...

Bi Polar 1 - Jerome 0
I once closed my eyes and found myself drowning in endless spider webs of unoccupied corridors of confusion beneath singed wings of tomorrow. I sometimes awake half dead in a mausoleum filled with the ashes of past memories of happier times mentally, when I didn’t have to make a habit out of scaring myself by standing over my own body wishing for more time to do the things I wasn’t already a slave to like shots and pills. What am I even complaining about? Even the stars seek refuge in space due to the giant bully know as gravity. The same gravity that allows us to make a wish on them as...

Thoughts
I hear you every day, every morning, every afternoon, and every night, you don't seem to get tired of repeating yourself over and over.
It's like you know every part of me and you are willing to sabotage me at any moment. What have I done to you that you keep reminding me of the mistakes and sins That I have committed?
isn't enough to torture me to remind me every day of my existence and keep yelling it at me, like if I haven't hear you enough? Trust me I have because you never leave me and are always with me in my thoughts.

Don’t Call Me a Weed
They don’t think I’m a flower,
Yes,
They call me a weed.
Said they didn’t plant,
My wind-blowing seed.
No,
I don’t belong here,
In their company;
But I still shine towards the sun,
In their adversity.
Yes,
They call me a weed,
But I think I’m a flower.
I bloomed all alone,
Drank up all the rain’s showers.
Just like they did,
But oh,
They still can’t seem to see;
Though I’m not a rose,
No,
This plant’s not a weed.
I grew in the concrete,
I grew in the snow.
I grew...
Yes,
They call me a weed.
Said they didn’t plant,
My wind-blowing seed.
No,
I don’t belong here,
In their company;
But I still shine towards the sun,
In their adversity.
Yes,
They call me a weed,
But I think I’m a flower.
I bloomed all alone,
Drank up all the rain’s showers.
Just like they did,
But oh,
They still can’t seem to see;
Though I’m not a rose,
No,
This plant’s not a weed.
I grew in the concrete,
I grew in the snow.
I grew...
