LAST

NIGHT,

AFTER

A

LONG

INTERVAL,

I

HAD

A

SOUND

SLEEP.­

EVER

SINCE

THIS

MORNING,

I

INTEND

TO

WEEP.

HOLY

CREEP.­

panicked heartbeats banging like a drum against my porcelain ribcage
nerves running through electric veins, painful in their persistence and irregularity
soft tears whisper down flushed cheeks in helplessness as
i shake, alone and in the dark
waiting for someone else's name to appear on my screen.

Of course I've seen them
ghostly men
spirits in the night,
of course,
they wander abroad tied to me by a cord
because I don't want to let them go.

the loved ones I know who knew
who went through the doorway
and why
I asked why
did I stay?

tomorrow being that other day
was the tomorrow that you
came my way and decided to stay

that's the reason and I ask no more.

HE

IS

NO

MORE

SAD.

HE

HAS

LEARNT

TO

LIVE

ALONE.

WHEN

­YOU

DECEIVED

HIM.

HE

HAS

AWFULLY

GROWN.

THE  ONLY  REMEDY

Old age with broken leg, she lies in bed.
She cannot move; her pain is mixed with dread.
She is too weak to speak. She just complains,
but no one can her nagging quite explains.

Her bed has got a prison she can't leave;
it stirs her mind to roam, her heart to grieve.
No source as vent for hope from which to get
delight that makes her anxious thoughts forget.

So nice was life when those she loved were near,
whose presence brought her joy as they were dear.
They went and left her lonely, now in bed.
How hard is life that leads her to this end?

In tears, she hears a song coming from far.
She used to hear ere time could her life mar.
She calls back that old love that fills her heart
and sets her calm as love sets all aright.

The river flows
With bodies and souls
The river is where our burdens are thrown
It frees the soul from what it holds
It reflects the truth that you might not know
The creatures that live finds paradise in its holes
And when its cold the river becomes ice cold
To protect the lives that it holds
It turns to vapor to rain on our souls
To treat the thirst that kills the living so very slow
It sacrifices all it has for the great of the whole
But what we do is darken it souls
We polute its waters with the paloutes we throw
How selfish we think and how murderus we grow
We **** the things that help us grow
We forget the things that the river has shown
Until one day the river howls
It consumes each man and drowns him cold
It creates thease waves that galops people souls
Detroys the citese that human helped grow
So think of others the way you think of your own

As I roped the exquisite enormous pole
The soul orbitted a million times
When I crystallized my silvery lure
The nature perished me back fire
As I transcended the elegant steps
The weeds of shady shadow came along
Though I dispersed out with caution and fret
Unveiled kittenish memories I followed
Though the dusk unwinds dawn
Yet peals of laughter bursts frown
My shady shadow and silvery lure
Grew gunnies of grey granules..
