Now you’re gone

I retreat.

Back into my shell.

Like a snail,
whose feelers have been tapped
by a passing leaf.

But I don’t dwell.

That’s the purview of slugs.

Those
lazy
passive things....

Too Much

Written: 19 March 2017

*To Love Destructively*

"You're too much."
Too much?...
Too much attention
Too much clingyness

Desperation oozes off my flesh
Like rotting scabs of "love me!"
"Love me!"
Between the lines "Run from me."

There are no victories in war!

We may not always see eye to eye!

 We may not agree about the same things!
You may not like what I like!

 Yet, diffrences, are what make us both human!
You may eat what I do not!

 We may not even believe in the same God!
What makes either one...

Insincere sencerities

~Insincere sincerities~

Hush now with your empty hyperbole's
Your over exaggerated understatements
Your sincere insincerityjust insults me

Long and love this...

A letter to you.

I love you.

That’s a start.

I love you,
and I miss you.

I miss your art.

I miss your face.

I smell your scent when I can’t
sleep.
A stuffed toy,
held in a tight embrace.

It broke my heart
when I said goodbye,
so I...

Tattered Book

~Tattered Book~
Written: 10/12/2020

What am I
But a storybook
With ripped pages
Scribbled upon by careless hands.

They wrote chapters
In my honor
Only to bleed ink
And dog ear corners

My tale was to be marvelous
Filled with...

Gallows

Listen to the whispers on my lips
I do not stutter and I do not lisp.

How dare you act as if your deaf
As if you're righteous and that's all that's left

There are cities of men and beasts
Lit in the sin on which their bellies fully feast.

*Not one of my best. More just spilling out frustrations*

Work harder they say.
Do better.
Prove yourself.
Your worth.
Your value.
Take on this task.
That task.

Let Him Rot

*Let Him Rot*
*written 12 January 2024*

I've never been one to curse names
In the will of holy retribution
But I can't help the rage seething
To his cursed names contribution

Pick yourself up off the weeping floor
I'll stitch up the...

I lost my passion.

I lost my passion.

I had passion to take snaps.
Went to forest for taking
photos of ferocious wilds.

I went to deserts,mountains
and also eyes soothing seas.
Took number of photos.

I sent few of them in exibition.
Few were set in...
