Ghazal: Again

However it cooled between us, let it begin again. Show me the room in you that I was welcome in again. Your shoulder shrugs my hand off like a coat in April, so I pocket both hands, fold all my wanting in again. I ration tenderness now like sugar in a war year, afraid to offer what will not be taken in again. We used to talk until the candle...

No More to Spend

How easy it is to kill, So simple to destroy- The Earth, The Water, The hearts of humankind. How easy it is to hurt, So simple to break- The hope, The trust, The bond between you and I. Yet you care not For any plea Nor heartfelt cry, Not without an attached Bargain and dollar sign. The people's pain Fuels your greed, Our...

The Asylum

do you feel it? as you walk slowly through the dark, in this fallen neglected labyrinth of the mind, where mold and filth fester upon crumbling walls, and rainwater seeps and falls like tears of the damned, this once great building now diseased and decaying, a parody of the minds once entombed within, can you hear the echoes of the screams? from...

Happy #%€¥ing New Year

Stubborn refusal to talk to me Means I’ll never understand, Why every step I take To close the gap Is another step she takes away Autism grates on every nerve A pain no one deserves But when does refusal to heal Stop being the fault of illness, When does the swearing and threats Become a crime, And not just disease, 2025… another year, The more...

The Joker

The Joker’s divinity is laughter; his faith keeps him alive, it is his water and his bread. Among the colors he wears red would stand out, were he not so skilled at hiding his own hell. He laughs at others’ hearts, offers roses of sarcasm and knives of tenderness to lovers who kiss against the doors of his night. The Joker mocks those who throw...

Misunderstood

I try to explain the things that I say What they mean in a particular way But with my condition of ADHD i say something, that no one can see Your wrong they say with your bad attitude Your selfish, narcissistic and really quite rude I don't like what say cause I feel it's not me But she keeps on pushing, it's you not me Im at my wits end with...

Timeless Affection

The leaves on my oak tree never fall, They cling to their green through each season’s call. While grass may wither as autumn descends, It springs back to life, as the cycle transcends. In the chill of the air, when the colors fade, My heart stays steadfast, in your love I'm laid. For though time may change what the world can bestow, My...

Resistance Reborn

Shackles cast of steel Held by ball and chain Heaving with my shame A pretense of a shield Stench of failure, unclean Decay chanting its creed Encased, the coffin is sealed I claw and try to scream To demons I forcibly kneel Fraying and tearing at seams Body bitter and maimed “Spare yourself and yield” “No!” Shouts a soul...

Return to myself

"What am I?" I wonder. I wonder if I am even a man. I do not know. I only know that I feel defeated— to the marrow of my...

A visit to the museum

The silent nights drape themselves around me slowly engulfing me in a chokehold as I drift away into a hallway its walls...
