Hearts Don’t Beat

Is it ok to be happy ? To feel a joy inside my heart? Feeling soft and sappy, Looking to a brand new start. All my rhymes have rhythm, That hardly change at all. But crafting with precision, Reflex not how in love we fall. Messy, bright and typical, My breathing tastes so sweet. Inside... Continue Reading →

Gateway

Unexpected memory of a corridor Voices roaring down the hall A birthday held when I was four - Not for me, for the jolly good fellow. An old man’s song if ever bellowed. On a night that feels both mad and mellow. - I mused a moment, child's mind, Who were his friends there by... Continue Reading →

Puppy Dog Eyes

I'm a spot in a puppy dog's eye, I, in eye, insignificant am I? The tiny speck in the cutest face, You notice not my rightful place. I'm a nothing, if not the key, A detail smaller than a flee. But details add to masterpiece, Piece by piece and none the least. Have you seen... Continue Reading →

Shadows and Shame

The excitements builds rapidly in the invisible space between my lungs and my throat. It’s so powerful that my fingers start to tremble and I'm forced to close my eyes tight. Please, please let this feeling pass! I have friends who struggle with real addictions. I watch them relapse into substances and thank God I’m... Continue Reading →

Silence

A week of trekking through torrential rain has my energy depleted, but as I turn my eyes to the sky I see her. The oldest tree in existence. I fall to my knees beneath the terrifying branches that hang over me like the pain of time pressing on my chest. In my delirium I get... Continue Reading →

Disjointed Desire

Law of nature, And of time. Mine is nothing, In this life. Vision in the season of depletion, Incompletion’s my only foundation Repletion of all but a reason. Strife in man. It's here to stay; I separate… Emancipate... Revealed by desire Of a simple smile No barrier between self and liar. How to discipline this... Continue Reading →

Tinder & the Death of Romance

We live in an age of superficial sexual pleasures. An age where we confuse consequence with cause. Instead of attraction being an organic combination, selection of a partner is now determined by one thing. Looks. The swirling pool of flesh bombards the retinas without any imagination required. Dating is a violent sport. Instead of being... Continue Reading →

The Traveller’s Heart

It searches nights to find its rest Will one welcome poorest guest? It smells its own, but can't get in, Try in vein to see within. A heart once beat incessantly In organic love, romantically. Yet, now it treads hesitantly, Lost its way… Never free. When she sang in truth and beauty They stripped her... Continue Reading →

Flashing Back

I feel these moments take us back To remind us what our hearts now lack. When we see familiar sights, Somehow we feel the loss of light. Flashing back to happy days My heart is stabbed as mind relays What meanings were, and now, are seen As nothing like they used to be. Drifting clouds kissed... Continue Reading →

Only Your Happiness

I wish for you the happiness, That I will never have, For me, my love, I'm left alone. Cold and in the black. The shadows cover everything, That you once saw as me. The shadows cover everything, And I can barely see. One day we’ll meet by accident, You’ll call me an old friend. I’ll... Continue Reading →
