Birds

I used to cry, scream and gag at the thought

Of not getting through to you, who I love.

An idea so fresh, now left to rot

Prayers and pleas from hell sent up above,

Poisons the messengers, kills all the doves.

Saved a bird who didn’t want to be caught,

Whose body rejected the warmth I brought.

The bird didn’t need to be saved at all

Oh, it was behind all the times we fought

Now I laugh, clip w...

Relax It’s Only A Relapse

Hope that I’ll never touch mountains

Hope that I stay on the ground

Chivalry won’t make an absent

I’m a peasant of the town

Crying is no way to settle

The disputes that I carry always

Crying is no way to settle

The mistakes I’m known to make

Relapsing in the calmest of times

Can’t make much sense from the look in your eyes

Relapsing when I have so much fear

To do whatever, to do all that...

Needles in the yard

of my best friend

The neighbors seem to litter

as they gasp for breathe

Maybe dope, maybe meth

Cops being called on the druggies on the left

Children’s dancing to the beat

As theirs sellers on the street

Buy a baggie

The nexts ones free

Business is our virtue

I’m not tryna hurt you

No , no

Calling the police even though it’s a threat

My friends in the back seat lo...

Playing with fire

What’s the game

Stuck in the mire

Nothing’s the same

Filled with tension

Too much to do

No one will listen

Not even you

After it’s over

Everyone gone

Play in the clover

Fire forever strong...

The Boy In The Park

I watch Ruaan and Asna run into the park. Kamila, who is also my niece, is by my side.

Kamila found out(through stalking, but don’t tell her I called it that) that her crush, Eli, takes his little brother to the park on Saturdays. So, of course, she begged her aunties and uncles to take their kids to the park on Saturdays but, of course, they wouldn’t trust a fifteen year old to take care of a b...

Black Heart

I watch as my mother’s eyes turn glassy. The Filicaan has reached her heart. Her heart is black and is soon to disintegrate completely. Her arms and her side is already gone and so is her smile. This does not look like my mother at all.

I shut her eyes gently before leaning down to kiss her temple.

Then, I do something I haven’t done in a while — cry.

I sob into her neck.

My mother — the o...

I was your muse, Ha

muse…

What a way to put it

Like a project you played me and wrecked me

Till

You couldn’t

I danced on your tongue till your flavor palette

Got tired of it

My voice

music to your ear

But it changed and you forgot it

I belonged to you

Till you didn’t want it

Outs of reach

Forever your “forgotten”...

Kyrin sucked a sharp breath in as footsteps approached his room from the hallway. He scrambled to gather his papers from the desk they had been sitting on, abandoning the act of writing in the process. He had just set them down when the door swung open. His roommate, Deril, entered.

"Hello," he said curtly.

"Welcome back," Kyrin murmured, heart pounding. He had taken a seat at his own de...

“My Revelation”

(Rhyme Scheme: ABAB)

I walked a path I thought was mine,

But every step felt strange, not quite right.

The sun would shine, the stars would light up the nights sky —

Yet shadows whispered in the light.

I chased the dreams they said were true,

Their voices loud, my own so small.

I climbed with hope, as climbers do,

And smiled while bracing for the fall.

But silence found me in th...
