She Opens Doors For Me
I want to Marry you, maritime vibes, in the Bay Area like during low tide yeah, I want to really seize the moment and feel the energies of the sea’s breeze, therapeutic
they’d love it too if you threw your bridal shoes into our crowd then we can walk around the beach with the sand beneath our feet
dispel any negative energy, lift and thin the veil
to breakthrough the threshold

metaphysical
some incorporeal humans in form
ate what they say
was a plant based diet
and thus were subject
to divergent evolution
amorphous... because
the species had once chosen
not to consume animal proteins
frowning down upon us from the heavens
as if we were subhuman

The Hero’s Journey
heroic dosages, taken
on a trip made up out of fear
nightmare fuel
Terra’s mental plane
astral travel…

and don’t even begin to panic, or else...

Out of Character
A method actor
was asked for their perspective
which is more difficult
to impersonate, and
get inside the mind
of a deluded lunatic
or out of character
and, it was answered
with laughter

A universal mind
open to new ideas
with expanded awareness
brainstorming in the heavens
of, the seven seas overhead
why is it that death is personified
it is so when he is weakened
that’s the unmaking of the grim reaper
a befitting demise, his
mortality—
a spare rib
the quanta of
an excitable atom
shushed —
acquiesced
and during this evanescence death die...

Personal Truth
poetry is
the rememory of passed moments
inner beauty,
a narrator’s world view, and
thoughts manifest
as spoken word…
public thinking with no critique

Bark Out Orders
sir, yes, sir
enlisted, signature
illegible, and unable to be read
a dreaded shot
well trained
the medic attempting to calm —
The vet,
glances at his dog tags
in search of a name.

Withered Out
Hands move without mind
The time slips by in silence that is mine
I just try to find a sign
That says this way or that.
Motion drifts without body
Unrecognisable though still resembling
The fiery spark that’s dwindled
And waiting to be rekindled now or later.
Heart beats without soul
Too cold to move from scolding mould
That’s festered in the folds of me

Dregs
It rains on me tonight as it did in the morning
No exit route or home to fall in
Because nothing seems to fit
Nothing seems to satisfy
Or ease the mind ’til five
Misery’s mine until I die
Shut out and dropped from the sky
With no sight, fight or flight
Sipping dregs and having sex
There ain’t no fish in that sea
Of love nor money, the empty barrel
Is scraped once a...

Autumn's glory
And indeed,
the seasons will shift once again,
Yet,
that one autumn leaf,
will hold onto the branch,
with all its might,
Awaiting the breeze,
to carry it away.

Prayer of Departure
Dear Lord of mercy and order,
You who shaped the constellations
and placed every heart upon its rightful path—
hear me.
You have destined me a man,
steady as an oak,
a harbor built for my future.
In him, I find peace,
honor, and the promise of a home.
But another soul tempted my spirit—
a lightning in the dark,
a soul I touched only in passing.
Not min...

Forever More
It’s late, another day is gone
Sun rose in east just to set on
The horizon in the west
Life and death abreast but the rest is best
When lights are off and away
And I sleep until the next day
Only to continue my endless cycle
Relive my self-inflicted trifle
Just feel stifled so detraction
From my pain is my distraction
My existence a fraction of my desire
No sight o...

Finding yourself
After fighting, and ofcourse, winning,
a grave battle,
against the storm, within me,
I will, finally, sit back, and think.
Gazing at the night sky,
when I will embrace the light of moon,
I will not look back, in time, and regret,
but will surely rejoice, for the present, I am,
And if somehow I realise,
that yes, I am me,
That will be the moment,
when I will be,

more than scribbles
“More Than Scribbles”
The pen does not speak—
it holds its silence in a chamber,
a reservoir where sentences
float unformed,
dark rivers stalled
before the mouth of paper.
Each droplet is a thought
waiting for gravity’s compunction,
a poem in liquid pause,
its capillary compression
held at the narrow throat of the nib.
The pipeline presses with pressure,
yet nothing escapes—

Blackened Nor Blue
It’s still and grey today
The sky in fuzzy light and shadow
That never blackens or blues
Not one way or the other
No company or conversation
Just quiet inside and out
In the comfort of this melancholy
And lack of thought or feeling
Unresponsive with lidded eyes
No ache or fire
Neither delusional optimist
Nor insufferable pessimist
Teetering the fine white line

October
October, hell is over
The fog has rolled on down
Now rightfully isolated, thank God
Like everyone else, no sound
Or eyes watching, waiting
Like never ending nighttime
Alone in solitude and so are you
Mist leaves no end in sight
Of the end of the road, no safe abode
Hardly a foot ahead
Is clear to either you or I
Somewhere in the fog, we’re dead.
It comes to...

Raise the Blade
Sometimes I venture out on the coldest day
And deliberately underdress
In hopes that the wind will freeze me
Those pinpricks up and down the flesh
The open isolation
The stillness and obstructed view
The fog, the unknown
And revel in the freedom of it all
Sometimes I sit on the edge of the bed
And open the door out to the landing
And look into the darkness
To ...

Blood
I picked my lip until it bled
Got iron in my teeth
And when I wiped the stinging wound
I stained the cotton sheets
I licked the wound repeatedly
Still the blood kept flowing
‘Til I gave up, it trickled down
My chin, the stinging growing
I stayed in bed all morning
I stayed awake all night
I stayed inside the dreary town
That sad pathetic sight
Miserable but...

Lymph
From the ventricular beating comes the pulse
Of the stinking iron between my teeth
And punching of my neck
From the rotting of the palate comes the heave
Of the dreaded desert breath
And choking stones
From the tremor of the limbs comes the aching of the flesh
The rash and heavy lids
Of stinging iris
From the throbbing squirm of the cerebrospinal snake

To Live/To Die
Slumber remains in restlessness, come east or west
Come rising, falling chest, come worst or best
Mindlessness parallels the weight of the world
That never ceases to spin when Armageddon unfurls
A mothers heart shatters by the blowing of candles
She’s 5, he’s 8 by ruinous shambles
Ribcages protrude at the foot of the table
Not a scrap to be offered come frail, c...

Tapestry
The birds sang so loud that they became the music
The twittering echo of summer laced into the chill of winter
And weaved into the warmth of the sun in a tapestry
Of shadow and light, day and night
And dewdrops cling to the grass from the night before
Like a mother to her baby in a hospital ward
A hand to the chest, a mouth to the breast
From breathing to suckling, one body to...

Taps Upon the Forehead
I was driven down the highway
In a spanking silver car
24 and looking for an answer
But hadn’t gotten very far
And as I looked across my shoulder
To the school kids running by
Their hopeful eyes seemed dampened
By the clouded grey of mine
The suffocation only stops
Just when the lights go down
But from the land into the sea
In morning light, I drown
My moti...

The Sad Sack Dance
I met him by the roadside
Standing tall with shoulders wide
He smoked a fag I couldn’t abide
And asked me if I’d come inside
A dull linguistic polymer
A tiresome interlocutor
Who cares when promiscuity
Rears its head, it grins and tempts me
Unknown and hardly trusting
Inside the room we fornicate in
In and out, in and out
Breathing, fucking, no room for doubt

Amanda
Amanda flies the wide skies
From Canada to England and back again
And unborn cries of bloodline ties
Comes calling her back home
Embroidered blankets, silk and knitted
Toys of softest fur
She casts a glance with loving eyes
And takes them with her when she goes
Amanda leaves a hanging pendant
Silver native maple leaf
A gift for friends of decades gone
That Eng...

Clocking out
It's all in the mind they say
Hopes and dreams at the end of another day
Clocking in and clocking out is a waster's way to live
We should be thriving and conniving to forge a life of our own
It's all well and good 'clocking-in' and 'clocking-out'
But I want to live before time runs out
Watching the clock all day, tick-tocking all the way
What's the point in it all anyway?

The Silence Between Spears
(a poem for the hills that remember)
There is a silence the world cannot name—
a silence not born of fear,
but of memory,
and men who have seen too much to speak.
Between the spears,
hung gently on bamboo walls,
something waits.
Not war.
Not peace.
Something older.
The boy in Mon sharpens wood not for battle,
but because his father did.
And his fath...

Fades
I feel distant from hope
like a soul that is separated
like an empty space
there is only me and uncertain thoughts
waiting for the end of the day
but wishing that there was no tomorrow
as if all my dreams are hard to achieve
and slowly my ambition fades
I feel like I see someone else inside me
I don't recognize her
little things feel new to me
and death b...

The Ego Echoes.
All I hear are elusive echoes of self-depreciation and hatred.
Tracing my memory back to precise occurrences of emotional distress and pain.
The nature of numbness bouncing through the walls of my mind.
Will this arduous voice ever be silenced?
No one knows better how to get under your skin than the mind enclosed beneath it.
We take on the role of nurture or torture whenever we ...

Eight Decades On
This parable is used here to portray Ribbentrop's mistake – especially his fatal misjudgment of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, namely Operation Barbarossa.
On this day, eighty years ago, Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces, marking the end of a reign of terror that cost millions their lives. Yet today, as right-wing extremism rises again across Europe and beyond—w...Thursday 8th May 2025 3:48 pm
I hope it rains in hell
You wear your sins like royal thread,
a crown of thorns upon your head.
Your hands have built, your hands have torn,
they’ve held me close, they’ve left me worn.
The world cries out, it speaks your name,
etched in echoes carved by flame.
Yet in the dark, where no one sees,
you whisper love like dying leaves.
I hope it rains in hell—
not to quench your fire,

Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved
A union two twin flames

one old soul’s
shared nostalgia
about
our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind
quale, in the way we act
an ordeal with life
born into circumstance
chaotic

all of the elements and alignments required
the complexity of an immaculate conception

Whispers of Forever
Your eays hold stars that light my way
A gently grow at the break of day.
Your touch is warmth, aspak to true
Like dawn's soft kiss and drops of dew.
Each Breath you take , a song so sweet
A melody where heartbeats meet.
Your laughter dances in the air
A whispered promise, light and rare.
Through storm aand sun , through time untord
Your love is fire, fierce yet gold.

Why Do Men?
I would prefer to not have a taste of being chosen if it is fragile enough to be taken away in a second.
Why do I always keep my heart keen? I must be colder. I have to be in order to survive.
I don't understand men. They desire me one day and despise me another.
Unfortunately I am hungry to be the one. To be loved. To be desired.
At the surface level I adore men, I truly do.

“butterflies can’t see their own wings”
my wings were unique, folded and geometric
i felt proud, never hid them like a secret

i pulled my antennas over my eyes
i naively accepted compliments at face value (i belonged)
when it came time to fly, i could only flutter
that’s all my wings could do (i was okay with...

The Weight of Indifference
Inspired by Gerta Spieß’s haunting lines, “There’s nothing to be done,” this poem, The Weight of Indifference, examines the moral cost of inaction. It reveals how silence and apathy chain the oppressed and stain the conscience of the innocent. A call to confront the guilt born of indifference, it urges us to speak and act, even when trembling, for silence is the crime of care.
What marks the gu...

// My Unshakable Anchor //
To Akshita,
You are my cousin, but those words don’t define
The bond we share, rare and divine.
More than family, you’re my truest friend,
A place where my chaos finds its end.
In childhood, you stood a little apart,
But time wove you deeply into my heart.
You didn’t play, we were just two names,
Yet now, we are one in life’s vast games.
Now you’re the one who sees my soul,

The Scales of Justice Tilt in Gold
A piercing critique of a justice system that allows the powerful to escape unscathed while the ordinary face the harshest punishments. This poem confronts the political and judicial failures surrounding Donald Trump's acquittal, highlighting the frustration and disillusionment with the system's bias and corruption. It challenges the state of American justice, questioning what remains of fairness i...
