A Warrior's Cry

The light's are out
My phone is gone
The rent's not paid
I'm overdrawn
The city's fast
The trains are slow
Well.. everything's so loud
That I just don't know and I feel like I'm
about to lose
I wanna shout:
"I PAID MY DUES!"
but...

True Love

If this would've been, it would have been the last thing I would have left of you. Now I have nothing left! I realize now that I'll have to start over with someone new. I don't want anybody new; I just want you! I'm tired of starting over, learning...

How A Father Heals

How a father heals
Is not by means of force
How a father heals
Is by means of voice

How a father heals
Is through explanation and love
How a father heals
Is tough, rough, but more than above

Above all else,
Above all the crying
The...

Passivity

Each day I commit to a productive day,
Wasting away in prayer I don't say,
To continue making a living with less toxic ways,
Only to find myself in the cusp of being homeless anyways,
Derived from perseverance and quality of character,

No Such Thing

No Such Thing

There’s no such thing as an old soul
Inside a foolish one who claims
No sympathy for lost souls
And says they see the face of God
For if the greatest love
In all the universe exists
How do you ignore someone
With no...

Homeless

I was shaking, shivering, in a cold bliss,
And I was wondering, expecting, hoping for warmth amiss,
I walked and walked and walked some more,
Only to lay down near a joule box for a snore,
A few hours for days still an early rise,
To return to...

Ye All Know Its Jest A Rock (Bussokusekika)

We All Know Its Jest A Rock (Bussokusekika)

At times I wonder
If my signet has been scanned
By all SEM methods
Down to the nanometer
And even using 3D
Ye all know its jest a rock

Moonlight

I wandered alone in the shadows of the past
A lonesome feeling shredded my heart
The sweet memories we have shared
The melody and symphony of our love
You may have been forgotten, banished
And left nothing behind

Reminiscing in the shadows...

If you’re ignoring the erasure of women, you’re a pu**y.

In this warped world, you've reduced me to "cis",
A snide designation, like I'm just a miss.
I've humored your labels, adjusted my speech,
But you're erasing my essence, pushing me out of reach.

Every "they", "them", or "ze", I've echoed back...

Born to Porn

My addiction began when I was a young teen.
That was when I became obsessed with sex filled screens.
For me, the restroom was not just to go potty.
Oftentimes, I went in there to be naughty.
It was a safe space to feed my shame.
Somewhere to...

عری� ہ

عریضہ

سمندر تیری آغوش میں
جانے کس کس کے عریضے دیکھتا ہوں

 اور سوچتا ہوں
کہ سب کے عریضے سمیٹنے والا تو
اپنا عریضہ کسے دیتا ہوگا
سب کو سننے والا تو
اپنی کسے سناتا ہو گا
سنا ہے بہت شدید ہیں تیری گہرائیاں
جس میں دفن ہے ایک پورے کا پورا...

A visit with James Lee Burke novelist

Takes you to a mangrove swamp.
Gators, coons, egrets.
And popup catfish bubbles.
Motor launch wakes.
Smell of fish bream..
Fish bait shack of
