An apple of discord.

An apple of discord.

There was a wall
between two houses.
But the sky was same
and same was soil.

The mango tree leaned to other.
Its roots were at one side
but the fruits were at different
so the feud stopped never.

Once a thunder...

The flicker of a flame

The flicker of a flame.

The fear in me was growing stronger. I know you belong to me and no other. Somehow, everything was lost and forgotten in the shadows of the past. I lost you for lust, that was the reason, and now I lay here crying for you...

Remaining Unchanged And Envied

Unchanged to remain.
Those same old games.
Played for no gain.

Staying to please the people.
Enjoying reliving sequels of the past.

Unchanged.
Are those same played games.
Staying to please the people.
Hoping to want it wished,
A past...

The one empty pillow.

There is one empty pillow.

When you left, I could see the things you had scattered around the room. Frames of your father and black tank tops you used to wear—you said we would be together forever, and in some ways, you were right. But I still...

The Burst of Love

"Splendid with hope and smiles,
Where every moves let us shine,
Smirks and giggles where we are,
Where a secret appreciation starts.

Every time we saw someone,
That chants the deepest part our heart gain,
Where every sway and moves we seen,

The Kid Who Went Viral

Everywhere I go they say,
"It's that kid who went viral"
and people want
to talk
to me.
Not that I wanted to become
famous
because my stepmom
Od'd in the car rider line
at my school
I started crying
when the teachers
called the...

Iris Discovery

I tread lightly on the squishy ground, prudent to the world
As my companion bounds ahead, propelled in the air by the trampoline
The rainbow grass sprawls across my eyes, a beguiling feeling filling me
As they roll around enveloped by blades that...

Crystal Cottage

I trod along the narrow street, Jewel Avenue it’s called
Along the road are perfect houses, all in perfect rows
Each little building unique in their own way causing all to be enthralled
Each little building built of different gems casting their...

Tooth Fairy Money

He was always asking to borrow
my tooth fairy money.
He figured out I kept it
under my pillow
so I moved it
under my mattress
and later to a dirty sock
under my bed.
He was mad when
he couldn't find it
anymore
He never once
paid it...

Who Do Ya’ll Believe Is Fucked (Bussokusekika)

Who Do Ya’ll Believe Is Fucked (Bussokusekika)

Oh powers that be
IF I am the lamb of God
You people are fucked

I guess I’m the one who’s fucked
Who do ya’ll believe is fucked

Sound Bites: May 10, 2024

If true
that old age
is but a bad habit …

 what can youth become

Divorcing passion
from intellect
Two orphans
created
Homeless together
— inside of one soul

If you want
to be free
First
be a prisoner
A captive
