That Somebody
Somebody will find you Sitting by the window, Pen at hand, Writing your secrets; Tears in your cheeks, Falling like the raindrops Etching the blur In the glass beside you, Showing glimpses Of the storm outside: Trees screaming for help, Restless winds howling, Knocking at the window, Begging you to let them in, Envious of […]
The Way I Am
Not for your Houdini in plastic pyramids, Or your saving graces, grinning sir Damaso, Or your Yamashita, in glittering abyss, Or your Kamasutra, for taming succubi. Not for your ribbons, in a cage-like gift box, Or your automatic, monotonous clappings, Or your dusty heart cross, buried in brainless chest, Or your honey blabber, spare me […]
Happy Birthday!
Empty face Happy crowd Smile politely Walk away Sit in a corner A lovely party Stare at the distance Cover my face Random tears Wipe away Stand up “Excuse me” Go upstairs Bedroom Darkness Stare Headache Memories Tears Silence I don’t know. I don’t care. I want. I can’t. … Disappear.
Conservative Parents
So what would I be if not for them? Clueless, void of what I am now Me who was and who will be In a little mind? Chains do best describe them, as They kept me in a concrete wall Cold, hard, empty My frailty grew inside. But better is the worse, perhaps For who […]
Smother
In this monochrome house We played cards and Lego Building ourselves with the hardness They shaped her head But there is reality beyond Larger than her black-and-white paradise And when it took me by the hand I grasped it seeing beauty I’m not letting go But neither is she In this tug-of-war, my arms are […]
Mass Depreciation
My eyes can only look so far Maybe not enough to see through your heads But my fingers grasping my heart Can tell its yearning, In a body sworn to fight And to be fought for, protected Urging vessels in flesh Beating at the same body, we are Fragile hearts feeling The pains of the […]
Inner Canine
What must he be thinking, alone and chained Bloodshot eyes gazing beyond the steel bars Of a cage littered By feces and dried urine? Have you ever wondered how it feels Feeling no self-pity, Tamed to serve, nothing more Than a machine that barks Brainwashed to protect a total stranger At the minimum wage of […]
Skeptic
Why do we try holding on to words As invisible as ghosts slipping through fingers, Trying to catch the glimpse of truth, With a bleeding cup? You see, it’s been proven how Love and hate are nothing more than Nerves that explode in a rebel mind, Cells nurtured by a flesh Exposed in countless sunrise, […]
Bigotry versus Bigotry
Nothing to say but contempt for society The boy sits alone in his dim-lit study Citing no books from fallen heroes But fallen selves in his shelf-like memory In a time freed by so-called authorities He pondered how to live more respectfully When subservience is the golden rule As a citizen of shaded democracy Not […]
Sudden Disappearance
Crawling to the depths of passions, Worming their way from the surface, Their hypocrisy never fails To mark the ground with bullet holes. Shooting the corpses hiding At the safety of their coffins, At the death of anonymity, Just to be alive When the lamentation sounds like Shouts from devils Your heaven fight back With […]
