the mercy of a dream
I was walking in a particular garden of youth when I saw a plethora of origami flowers standing near the fences. I walked a little closer and noticed the sentences scribbled in the dry paper petals. They were wishes, written by unknown people in these counterfeit works of nature – paper pansies, primroses, marigolds and […]
a fool in a nameless city
Once upon a time, there lived a fool in a nameless city. It was a lively city, full of towering skyscrapers, heavy traffic and vibrant night life. But everyone in the nameless city doesn’t have a name. He himself was a nameless fool. So the fool left the city to visit a stranger he met […]
A Touch of Deliverance
My lips mouth words I’ve never known I could fart from eating too much words Of people I’ve never known ever existed Till your existence reminded me I should know And that’s one thing I like about you Your presence is ethereal ghost A vision of what could not be Yet brings to life what […]
Aftertaste of Ultraviolence
I bit off the rotting flesh covering my arms Letting myself bleed as I chew myself up Saliva and tears mix up with the blood I crumble at my own voracity Deluded by thoughts of being nutritious Enough to make me self-cannibalize I feed my soul with a food for thought But a food for […]
Leaving This World
Meet me when I’m walking Down my memory lane Surrounded by supercuts and music Surrounded by you. Meet me when I’m singing Alone, washing the dishes Imagining the way you ate My heart and soul.

S.O.S.

Widow of the War Within
Her twisted remorse is caged in a frame Hung in a window of blistering gray Like faces of already forgotten names Fallen like there’s nothing more to say About deeds oblivioned by time and knives And bullets, bloody but blessings disguised For people who care but chose to condemn And live a living lie.
Aftertaste of Silence
I feel its legs crawl up to my spine Jamming the signals, blurring my head With question marks stinging an innocent neck Gulping intentions with doubtful distaste So this is how time, with all its travesty, Injects me with poisonous anxiety; Drenching my skin, soaking my shirt I am sinking too deep in my ocean […]
Suicide Note
If I were to unravel the fabrics of time, I would Weave the blankets We used to cover ourselves In the middle of the night As we cuddle like bears Hibernating Tempering inner wildness Contented with the warmth With the assurance of your touch Never leaving Until the spring wakes us up Wet in the […]
Pretense of Life
Mine is just another dream Except it is a dream, and everything is not as it is When I try to feel Just as how I feel this feeling When I wake up When it’s just a matter of remembering it But the “it” is not what you think it is When the things are […]
