They tell me there are stages I’ve missed,tell me I’m lostIn memories gone,in wishes under riverbeds. I tell them it’s human,to want your hand on my tiny oneI’ve thirsted for your affections,only you’re a Sahara of emotions. They tell me to turn my back,walk away and not look backThey don’t understand,the cord between yours andContinue reading “imayē”

Fragments
I’m sorryI’m sorry that when you stare at these broken pieces…all you will see is nothingness,incomplete puzzles that don’t make sense,incomplete puzzles that you can never figure out. I’m sorry that in my joy is –a practised laugh,a rehearsed pause.In my silence are words stifled by fear,yet I have no cause to be afraid. I’mContinue reading “Fragments”
Homeless
Death,a permanent stench in the air around me.Vultures,a hovering cloud awaiting my fall.Grace,denied and withheld from a dying spirit.Hope,a rotting thing six feet below. I fall,the stars watch as my knees buckle,my body keeling.I shiver,the rain batters me, the wind blowing my skin off. I lie on this ground,willing to be soaked into the earth,willingContinue reading “Homeless”
Journey Through The Woods
She ties her laces,and for the walk preparesA deep breath, and she’s on her wayThe moon silently stares,A curved disk still in the sky.Her feet sink into mud,and a scream she swallows quickly.On and on she trudges,past grabbing thickets,and phantom shadowsOn and on she hurries,body a shivering mess,her heart demanding out.Finally her feet touch grass,andContinue reading “Journey Through The Woods”
For you
His soul stills,calm found in her warm embrace,the hand rubbing sore muscles“I love you”-a song that ripples and roughens his throat.“I love you” he repeats-tearing the thorns from the rose,his blood the sacrifice it demands“For you, anything ma chérie,”he whispers in her ear,the flower tucking in her hair,luscious mane that swallows his finger.Silky threads thatContinue reading “For you”
Colour Me Your Love
It was not by the colour of our skin that our love was built,but my blood that sang to the beat of his heart. It was not by the ebony of my skin,that greatly contrasted the cream of his,But by the dancing of our bodies under the moonlight. Nor was it about the onyx ofContinue reading “Colour Me Your Love”
Vivacity
Loud in my ears, quiet in my soul.Neon lights everywhere,looks like starsSquint my eyes against one,Kaleidoscope of greens, blues and yellows,mellow my soul oh ye modern inventionTic tac against these cobblestones,Peace in my heart,music in my head. Exhilaration,I spread my fingers.The world is my circus,I’m the clown.Tic tac against this asphalt,lemme make you laugh bloodyContinue reading “Vivacity”
Reviews of ‘Icarus’
By Phillip, The Outsider. This is beautifully written. I’ll give my thoughts on it. Well, everybody knows the story of Icarus, the guy who flew to close to the sun, but the heat was too much. To the poem, the poem has a double meaning, the first one, is the famous old Legend Of Icarus,Continue reading “Reviews of ‘Icarus’”

What Then
What then is this love,so different from any I ever feltSo different than any that my heart kissed. What then is this emotion that draws tears,Has me walking on air,Kissing the moon,lighting with the stars. What then is this feeling that-Compulses me to sniff your neckAnd drown in your sweat. What then is this love,thatContinue reading “What Then”
