waxing (12/22/2023)
I can feel the moon filling
rising in my chest,
my throat
a grip:
a commanding brand
blinding and hot
pressing down on my chest
while my legs buck
on an operating table somewhere
then sated
by the cooling hiss
of oxygen
(or at least
that's what they told me
it was)
"You're not yourself, Paul"
a much shorter name than mine
and a bone saw plain
some numbing tune by th...

BORN OF PAIN / STOLEN NAME
Born of pain cursed to live that way
A forgotten name marked with shame
Guilt by association becomes your fame
A stolen name becomes the scares on the back of a forgotten man.
Fading away to become the dust of another land
Bitterness replaced by forgiveness justice is a slap of the back of a hand.
Born of pain the mind struggle the mental slaying
The community broke...

a note
a word
whispered
in secret
a name
dropped
there-after

believes in passion,
love, happily ever after...

The choice
Translation of my Arabic Poem (“The Choice”)
Who, in the World, chooses his birth?
Who chooses his family and children?
Who chooses his fate and country?

To achieve our goals while we're alive
Your name and countr...

Hello, my name is _____
"Hello, my name is _____"
Hello, my name is a combination of contradictory words strung together...
witty-anxiety-lost-dedicated-resourceful-strong-dorky-emotional-free spirited-
If you wish to know my one true name, you must learn to read between the tangled and frayed lines...
My name is in the spaces between.

Call me The Baron. My full name is Nicholas Arthur Armbrister. I bloody hate that name! Do you know how I feel? My first name used when I’m naughty. “Nicholas, you’ve had a new tattoo!”
You must be part German with a name like that. Say it slowly out loud:
A-R-M-B-R-I-S-T-E-R.
They got images of Hitler’s panzers and Blitzkreig, Stukas and goose steps. No denying my heritage, I’m p...
