Life (Remove filter)
Life ‘n’ God ‘n’ Death ‘n’ Stuff
Where on earth (or space) did we come from?
What intrepid seed made us be?
I like the idea of God
But, my mind's eye won't let me see
They say we're all made of stardust
So, perhaps, there lies a clue
Just molecules & atoms congealed
From the old primordial stew
Were we once nebulae or quasars?
Drifting upon solar winds
Dancing to songs of the universe

For Whom
With the consistency of smoke
eventually, our ghostly hands
must let go of this life
We may be thinning and fading
or still strong but cut down
However it’s done
the knot must inevitably untie
The light travelled so far
to dance upon our faces
We're alive, as nature is alive
to be strange or just to be
All that energy must return
into the freezing depths of space
Every smile, ever...

Dawning
It dawned on me
as the sun rose
and the blood red flowers
reflected my life and my dread
a hemorrhaging of vivacity
animated in the comic book
that is life and death
A seriously humourous tome
in which I am bound
until the conclusion
of the final chapter
when all has been fulfilled.

Did we meet, now we have
Perhaps around my 10 I sensed your spark
With you toddling and sparking along your days
As I passed by, you learning to prance, pushing boundaries to play
Easing my mind as I drove on by
Between mum and dad to my nearby dunes
No metal men then, to spoil its grace
Just a place of happiness, joy a perfect space
My 20 perhaps a glance as we charged around town
You with your s...

Grandfather & I
I am Misti--, didn't get it?
Misti(sweetness) is my name,
My grandmother gave me that
Honor, I'm too grateful.
I'm going to 8 months
This November soon,
My limbs are
Not properly working now,
As a little bird fears to fly
Into the sky, below the mountain,
I am quite like that: I can't
Hold my legs sticked to ground.
My voice is like the groaning
Of the cloud you can hear but
Not to d...

The Want for Nothing
The want for nothing
Thursday, 09 November 2023

I want for nothing of this world
The grandeur and riches are unappealing.
The delicacy and deliciousness are unappetising.
Wealth turns to ashes in your mouth as you fathom,
The complete idiocy of the system that has become unfathomable.
I want for nothing of THIS world
Nature has turned against us

KING FISHER HEART 2
I suppose it’s funny, the things that life throws at me, how it all goes to fuck by the slightest mistake! Am I destined to fail at everything I do, with defeat waiting in the wings to bring my eagle down? How does one know when a good day crashes down? I know many things but there’s always more just waiting to be shown. I have some scary weird dreams I don’t understan...

LINE
LINE
It’s a fine line between victory and defeat. In the heat of battle do you know which is which? Think of the difference between genius and insanity, when does a brilliant mind fall over the edge? If someone spreads rumours between you and your girl, who do you believe? This is the game of life, when a wrong becomes a right and vice versa. We all go from one extreme to the other, at so...

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.
Friday 13th October 2023 7:28 pm
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...

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,

Raw eggs
I tried beautiful,
I tried pristine,
I was no good at it
I’m not neat within
I’m not “clean”
Even externally, I cannot master
Clearing every bit of clutter
I’m raw, like an egg
It’s not pretty to have a cracked head
But if I don’t
I’m practically dead
As inanimate and detached as my wooden bed
To be raw is
Painful,
Ugly,
Messy,
But it’s rich with fee...

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...

You liar!
A wretched bully’s sidekick
claiming nothing of your own.
You don’t even know when to agree

And your answer is always the same.
Coward!

look away as if…
But I know it’s you;

Peaceful mornings turned into mourning nights
Yes, I've come a long way
Heartfelt smiles hindered behind the heartbroken tears

Yes, I've come a long way
Dreams of life suppressed by the mares of struggles

Darkness
Darkness is not always indicative of sadness, maybe you just forgot your flashlight.
Sunny days and clear skies do not reserve your spot on cloud nine, maybe you just felt inspired.
Feelings and reactions are never set in stone, they’re dynamic and free.
Nature’s four seasons are the human’s equivalent to both emotions and expressions - constantly changing.
We as humans have the privil...

Life is a true gift
Life is a true gift.
To be lucky enough and blessed with the sight of beautiful birds chirping.
To be given the chance to witness nature’s blanket; the rain.
To breathe the breath of God and His limitless love as each day passes.
To have a voice that projects the beauty we have within.
To reach for the sky and float on a cloud just by closing your eyes for one single second.

Alone???
There I was,
Standing in the storm,
Walking through the dark world,
Slowly,
All alone.
Light was dim,
Lamps burnt cold,
Silence all heard,
But my heart's wild roar.
Then there You came,
A gust in the storm,
With Your competitive smile,
And encouraging eyes,
"You done, already?",
You said, with that smile.
"What more can I do?"
"Race till the t...

Hiraeth
I do not think
There is such
a thing as
A place,
A person,
A scent,
A sound
A touch,
A taste,
that I could link
To what the faceless
masses call home.
I do not think,
There is a version of me that exists,
Where home is something I have,
And not something I miss.
The past,
The present,
The future,
All in which
I do not fit.

It's Your Life
You must have heard this from the influencers, Ted speakers, and many other motivational speakers that it’s your life; make it or break it, it's all in your hands. Well, that’s exactly true, but what I’m gonna tell you about this is something that many of us face and yet still believe that it’s gonna happen one day.
First of all, to make it to your dreams is not for all of us. Imagine that nobo...

There were fireworks tonight
There were fireworks tonight
And each time there was a spark
It reminded me of your heartbeat
You're still lighting up my life everyday
Every breath I take is harder than the previous
My life is so incomplete without you
It feels like I'm breathing underwater
Where oxygen is scarce until you come back up
I would do anything to have you here with me
Life seems to be getting harder as ...

Nature's Wedding
Let the melodious song
of the numerous creatures
that reside here with us along,
in the lands and the skies
guide our light feet.
Step forward,
and bathe in the light of the sun.
As she blesses our love
and ignites our skins and soul.
In this bittersweet moment,
tinged sour by all that could have been,
should have been ours,
let us surrender our hearts

Trapped in this
claustrophobic body
as it ages
plummeting towards inevitability
all youthful thoughts
of immortality thrown aside
by reality
where did life go
when did life go
a speeding train that makes me move more slowly
the longer the journey takes
sometimes at a snail’s pace
towards a final stop where I get off
and out
and gone
forever

: Living :
Some fragments of time.
Some moments sublime.
Some lingering thoughts.
Some yeses and noughts.
Some presence so dear.
Some laughter to share.
Some instants of grief.
Some feelings too deep.
Some tasks to be done,
Till there are none.

On Beauty
My love of Beauty, nurtured through the years,
Of form and fair proportion’s served me well.
Yet often I ask: where does my true love dwell?
Within my soul; this heart; these eyes; or ears?
Does she conduct the music of the spheres?
Or, sit in silence sweet on Lakeland fell?
Are roses’ heavenly scent bound by her spell?
Her spirit surely lives in all...

FRIENDS.....
All this world,
Is one big stage,
And we star as mere actors,
In its brilliant plays.
Every face, a pretty smile,
But Is it truly what meets the eye?
"We my dear, are best of friends,
Joy, or despair,
I'll be near.
Cotton clouds,
Or coarse sand,
Side by side,
Hand in hand.
One day, at last,
Harsh winds?
They'll have to pass."

A Living Corpse
At age three
I dreamed.
Of lands full of sweets.
Of an endless coloured street,
stretched as far as I could see.
I dreamed of my toys,
that entertained me with their noise.
I dreamed of everything and more.
I dreamed.
At age ten,
I heard.
About wondrous lands that decorated the earth.
Of all the plants and birds,
our Mother gave birth to.
I heard abo...

The Wind & The Rain
His desolate thoughts
Were taken by the wind
A husk, sat fiddling with thread
Picked from halcyon times
He looked out to the sea
It was raging
He wished himself that rage
But, instead, calmly sat fiddling with…
The thread had gone
He took a sip of tea turned cold
And itched
Always the same itch
The wind was gathering a storm
His old jacket eagerly billowing

Sunsets
Erecting her easel
at the foot of the boardwalk
she mixes the paint
a hell-fire pink and crimson
and dips her brush to begin…
She paints
the end of all things
a voice lost to the fractured mind
the final moments of a life
a hand slipping away
She paints
farewell hospital conversations
her father’s beard as a cloud
she thins the blue paint with her tears
She colours in his eyes

The Devil's Face (Resembles Me?)
The devil has always been,
A faceless entity
To me.
Until now at least.
Now it has become clear.
I can see.
The devil
In front of me.
They are no singular person.
Instead a pair.
Familiar sight.
Lungs devoid of air.
The devils gaze at me.
Recognizable set eyes.
No surprise.
Why is this reality?
First sight of a child.

Bitter Beer
I used to utter your name delicately
like it was poetry.
Just as how perfume lingers on a person,
The sweet smell of cherry blossoms
accompanied your name
whenever it walked out my mouth.
But now all it leaves,
Is a taste so foul.
Your love was like alcohol to me,
It left me feeling euphoric at first,
But after the effect had worn out,
All I was left with w...

My Last Act
I pick up the shards of glass
that are scattered on the ground.
I marvel at them in wonderment,
how beautiful it once was.
Still, it'll serve a good cause.
Such a pity,
won't you applaud?
This is the end of the show,
Don't you hear the crows?
Toss your roses
Or will you wait till my eyes are closed?
Pour the alcohol,
Let the bubbles float to the surface.

Bigger than you
You should know better
Than to think you’re alone in this universe
You’ve seen breath come from nothing
Animals evolve
More complex than fathomable
Human species shapeshift and roam
With inventions inexplicable
Grass, water, and life itself
Come to be
And people like you
Who all think different
And think they’re the only ones
Don’t assume you’re not connect...

A slit on a rock
A burg in a vale,
Amassed stones and rocks as bulwark,
Assembled stones and rocks as a stack,
Stones and rocks stopping the waters from losing the track.
Waters thrusting behind the concrete rock,
Forcing the stones and rocks to slack.
A slit on a rock transpired,showing a way to break,
Waters dripping through the rock with a crack,
Droplets leaked out of ...

Sweet Sorrow
I will hurt you,
Just as you will hurt me.
Isn't that beautiful?
To hurt
And be hurt.
To love
And be loved.
Isn't loving someone,
Sentencing yourself to pain?
Then, why pray,
Do all still love?
To hurt and be hurt,
Is to love and be loved.
I long for you to hurt me,
So I don't doubt my love for you.
I long for me to hurt you,
So I don't doubt your lo...

Empty Chairs
Just a second is all it would take for you to leave this table.
It never gets better, seeing the amount of empty chairs grow.
Still, I remain seated at the table, glued to my chair.
Unable to do anything but watch with pain in my heart,
as yet another one leaves me alone here.
But what can I do?
Even an iceberg desperately yearns for warmth,
climbing to the sun, knowing it wi...

how I've been living life lately
spend too many hours gazing out the window thinking about what was what wasn't what was what wasn't what may be what could be again, say please take me away from here but also how could I ever leave, get lost in a video game, have someone see you, it's not who you want it to be, ponder the parallels of our experiences, laugh like a squeaky wheel, have someone see you, figure it out, have it be who...

Ne'er Dance
“I don’t dance,”
I told everyone who asked.
“I’m terrible at it.”
So I didn’t.
I sat on the sidelines and watched.
I used to dance.
I didn’t question it when my feet
Would tap of their own accord and my body
Would wiggle around with delight.
“I was young and I was stupid.
It was embarrassing.”
I’m still young and I’m still stupid.
I’m still terribl...

Cast Me away
Cast me away on a sea of dreams
And let me float away
I’ll be back later on
Sometime today
Cast me away on a sea of thoughts
And let me drift away
I’ll explore my inner workings and try to find
A little peace of mind
Cast me away from living people
Let me walk among the dead
And hear their stories from the past:
Thoughts and dreams and memories that last

Waiting For My Nobody
Tired souls sigh together,
lovers have given up on getting better,
but I will continue to stay with the withered tree until the end of times.
We have exchanged the word 'forever'
and thus I will patiently wait untill we are back together.
I will wait for you, my Nobody,
until my body cannot anymore.
Until my body decays
and my bones slip into Mother's embrace.
Even then...

On a Saturday night many years ago

But these days a typical night
Is watching TV
Just like tonight
Watching The Godfather, Part Three

Although hardly up to parts one and two
If my childhood was part one
Then I loved it
I had lots of fun
I lived it for the most part, carefree
Part two was mostly about

there once was a boy
good-hearted and innocent
worried not about the
flecks of mud
clinging to his toes
thinking not of the
stinging scrapes
kissing his knees
worried not
save for the dwindling daylight
bringing end
if only temporary
to his fun
there was once a man

Footprints
When you are young,
You wonder what life is about;
When you are old,
You still do not know.
It’s only when you’re middle-aged
That you think you understand,
Because of tears you shed at funerals
And the trail of your footprints in the snow.

Closet with a handful of Masks
I keep drowning
in the noise
Of
Others opinions
on how
To live my life
Their expectations
Only stress and scare me
If only I knew myself
Inside out
Through and through
If only I've finally become
Deaf and dumb
To this noise around
If only I can make
A decision
and swear on my integrity
That it's truly
Mine own
If only I stop
Striving to prove myself
to this world around......

Temporaries
You were supposed to be temporary.
A Mr. Right Now
But you were so persistent when I was so hesitant.
You opened your arms when I shied away.
So believe me when I say, that it hurt to be betrayed.
You looked me in the eyes when you told your bold face lies.
I wanted to believe you, I almost believed you, because deep down I didn't want to lose you.
