POETRY (Remove filter)
The soul of a poet
My words are mine alone
they cannot be taken away from me
they will transcend my current reality and existence
as i put pen to paper, a piece of my very essence will forever
be in flux with the universe.

Resentment
Oh, look how far I've fallen
Like Icarus with his waxed wings
Melted by the burning desire; fell hard not soften
What does my actions do? nothing, it brings
Oh, who do I point my fingers to?
It does nothing but makes it more grim
Surrounded by shadow of guilt, no hope nor light's dim
Thoughts are loud, i just might cut a limb
Everyday I try, everyday I submit

Hireath
I care little what you think of me
For my sinews have been drawn by your reactions
You controlled my mind, darker than your underbelly
Forge your registration into society
As I purge and delve into the stix of my resolution
The understanding of normality is blown apart by synapses that tithe your idiocy
Humans you may be but I am divine devil and blood surged into life

Most beautiful dragonfly you ever did see.
Descends to land upon my left knee.
We looked one another deep in the eye.
Then with a wink, it flew away into the sky.

With false words

Were real
Actual happenings
In our lives
Not any more

A Night Walk
I look up at the stars at night,
It's quiet and so dark.
There's one that shines so very bright,
I wander to the park.
A bright and beautiful shooting star,
A cluster of twinkling lights.
I wonder if I could travel so far,
Or climb such great heights.
For I do want to see them all,
To marvel in their beauty.
Vast expanses I feel so small,
Milky Way like the blue se...

A dramatic monologue from a Submarine Captain
I'm in this long metal tube, alone in the deep.
Searching for something, but I can't really see.
I hear a noise, it sounds like a scream.
I gaze out the window, a Siren I spot.
She points to the hatch, I know that I shouldn't.
But her song is so beautiful, she entrances me.
I reach for the latch, I'm twisting the bar.
Shes nodding her head, she's captivating me.

Finding Van Gogh In Ramsgate
The last time I had made his acquaintance was in New York
His Mountains at Saint-Rémy hangs resplendent in The Guggenheim
And I was entranced coming face to face with Vincent’s art
in frame
Vividly he depicted his visions of the world, so full of passion and energy
The memory stayed with me…
Finding a bust of Vincent in Ramsgate felt peculiarly odd
He lived in Spencer Square a...

About Love And All It Is Not
Love is,
replacing the soothing touch of water
with the burn of swirling red.
Love is,
broken glass on the ground,
not being able to differentiate red from red.
Love is,
freely seeking comfort in another’s bed,
knowing your own will be empty anyway.
Love is,
conceiving a child,
in the hopes it will turn your lives around.
Love is,

To Love A Fire (Is To Burn Brightly By Its Side)
The crackling of the fire lures me closer.
Meat sizzles and shrinks under the sheer heat of it.
A fire full of fury, hissing and spitting,
at anyone who dares to move closer.
It attacks my senses; the smell of burning flesh, the feel of warmth.
I can’t move away.
I’m enchanted, trapped, devoted,
to keeping the flames flickering.
To feel its warmth infiltrating my ...

Almost There (Where?)
Is it the light
At the end
Of the road
That I perceive
Or is it simply
Heaven's ethereal glow
That shines upon me?
An end it is,
No matter what form,
A means to end,
So I go on.

How can you go meekly into the night
When your world no longer gently goes around?
How can you go meekly into the night
When lives of who you cherish depend on you being wise?
Do you forget that in the beginning time started?
And yet this time has an end as so do you.
For if you have, forget not that all times have their moments besides one Holy one

Faith - a poem
Faith begins on the edges of understanding
Faith begins on the edges of understanding
Let me please then fall into this abyss of source where Faith is.

Connected to the gentleness of a longed ...

Enough
If only I could go back in time
To rectify all my mistakes.
All that I shouldn’t have said,
Yet still felt the need to say.
Why did I even feel that need?
I, too, was just a child, right?
Be the example,
Show them they are wrong.
Show them we are no beasts.
Show them we can be equal.
Act mature,
Be mature.
Show them they are wrong.
So many rules and rest...

Trust...
They reach me,
And,
I give them my all,
Yet after that,
They leave me Alone.
They will come back,
Once again, for sure,
With a different face,
A different name,
A new personality,
All along,
And once again,
I will give them my all,
Will they, this time
Stay by my side?
I don't know,
But that's how Trust works,
That's how Life works.

To Love Is To Die
A love so fierce,
has taken ahold of me,
that ‘I’ is no more.
My form, my soul,
is now entangled with hers.
Where do I end and where does she begin?
I now only exist,
as an extension of her.
When my name leaves mouths,
I pray for it to always
be accompanied by hers.
Whenever she is in my vicinity,
it feels as if I could ascend into infinity.
To love her,

Anger's Embrace
Anger curls its tendrils around me,
it envelopes me whole,
strokes me tenderly.
It forms an impenetrable wall,
a shield of sorts,
to keeps me safe and sound.
It takes all those blows
and hits for me,
protects me from my foes.
Rage filled screams,
cover the sound of falling tears.
Sadness sits beside me,
gently wipes my sea.
Anger extinguishes my fear,

Whispers From Death
Dew-covered grass
covers my naked skin.
Flowers sprout
from where I have been.
Day and Night
hastily clock in.
Running to their positions,
preparing their respective scene.
Not that I can see.
The layer of dirt that separates
from what is and has been,
no longer that thin.
Breathe Death in,
for it is I who nurtures the earth
who give...

Love of My Lives
Sweet sting of truth… I only heard it because it came from you.
Better person
Laughter, when I was born of tears… oh, what a rebirth!
Of course you don’t get all the credit for my understanding of love; I spent many years as an autodidact cardiologist.
But it would be a capricious falsehood to say that I would be anything close to Me
without You.
You have call...

Best a Poet Can Get
Poem scribbled into my phone
is my best and new number one.
Can’t believe I’m so in the zone,
where in space did that come from?
Hit me with extraordinary pace,
ideas strident, in avalanche flow,
filling the bright white open space,
the right words set up to glow.
Me witness to growing perfection,
and conduit without choice.
Happens so rare...

Love Is A Violence
And if you must pierce my heart
With a dagger so sharp,
Caress with it my cheek
After you've retrieved it.
Paint my face soft,
With the violence of your love.
It is for you who my heart beats for,
Thus it is by your hands that it should stop.
May the wind blow you
My final breath to.
