Her kind of rain was the kind that drizzled Her drizzles were like soft rain, On grey days, they made perfect sense to align with interspersed clouds hanging heavy on blue-less skies But on days when a storm beckoned it's calling I lost her, She drowned Somewhere Where it never drizzled Always rained.

Her Soft Rain
Sardonically, lightly, he trips around the argument from last night The night-time affair-morning despair Whiskey and gin, liquor scented promises Still droop over the dawn's proceedings No wonder he waned quick and rose slow last night His instincts took form, primal release Inhibitions lulled by the dull lust quenched senses Now all come back to the brim And resurface with surmounting terror in the peak of morning What might have been found , In the quiet moments, between the pauses, sighs and naked glances Has already been lost No words escape his, Or hers- Save for a kiss Once drenched with wet lust That now gathers rust; Hangs in the heavy silence of their confession Where none of them utter a word, Yet the verdict rules: both guilty.

The Silent Trial
Lost in the scansion of a cool iron box I struggle for air from the confines of metal that blocks all fresh of life from the cage Bound in gagged suffocated reflexes I utter muffled screams of my nights spent in lost days Held in suspended motion, mid-flight to a descent I train myself, my senses already know what comes next meanwhile the art of stillness, in vivid stasis I contemplate.

I want to be the me that I wanted to be when I was a kid who dreamed of being the me that I’ll be when I turn 70 I want to be a race car, a ******* rush; I want to be a daredevil on both I want to be a tight-rope circus act, and tread daily on loose strings with firm feet and handstands I want to be a shaman with normal senses, instead of a normal person with shamanistic pretenses I want to look what I saw, I want to listen what I heard, I want to speak what I said with absolute, immaculate, immovable conviction I want to be like Jim Morrison, and sail to the moon on a crystal ship I want to be 25% pessimistic, 25% optimistic, 50% opportunistic surrealist I want to be an Anti-Christ neutral anarchist, and go on a nihilistic bowling spree I want to be like Jeff Lebowski I want to be an unintentionally over-achieving burnout who’s proud of his very human frailties I want to be my own version of Salvador Dali’s first drafts, Allen Ginsberg’s papers and Jack Kerouac’s path I want to write serenades about melted ice-cream, burnt sausages…and similar tragedies I want to be a comedic prophet with bad timing; I want to laugh at a funeral-my own funeral I want to be a suicide note; an obituary that says, **** Condolences! I’m dead. Now, just let me be’ And although, I’m not half the things I said I wanted to be, I’m an ancient nutshell with reinforced-concrete casing and recent cracks that show the me that I am right now, I’m an educated, at most times mostly illiterate kind of bloke I’m a six feet tall hormonal speck of snowflake on snow I’m a growing ukulele, dreaming of bursting out an improvised, deafening, soul scathing Electric guitar solo, on an amp that goes up to 11! I’m a short-tempered, soft-spoken, heavy-breathing embodiment of all I’ve wanted to be and the things I’ll never be But right now, I am the me, that I want to be And all the other ‘me’s would be proud if they could see me.

I couldn't make up my mind on who she was. Really, A premonition? Foreboding an inevitable storm Or the storm's aftermath; All dull and vivid juxtaposed in parallel reflection Yet even though debris seemed to follow the destruction around her, The centre of all the chaos was calm, grey I called her Grey She liked it She thought it resembled a fading, translucent characteristic within her that most people seemed to miss without confirming a second look "It’s like you lifted my eye-lids with clamps-long and hard enough to gaze and wonder just who I was" That the easy facade on her outside was just a complex elaborate hoax and her intricacies were much simpler inside But even with all my sensors of human emotion detection and learning to wade and blend through derelict sage-nuances I still couldn't figure her out For I wasn't sure what she was: A premonition or an aftermath of new color. She was always Grey

Grey
The crazy demography of death in our minds; our shine-clad generation suggests our invisible escape to depravity we are Not innocent, we are Not cured- of whatever disease we choose to hide in our black cages we are afraid without pure fear; we are a disgrace And so much happens in the streets at night- as each man loses his faith in (?)you-name-it, that we breed either poets, prophets or politicians, vegetables.

"It's Hard Dating a Poet"
And before I extended my claws onto your hearth, I dwelled within a secret passion: I brushed up on sneaking and marking the spot for my next apocalyptic arson And yet I could never spout the rage that fuels my husk of a being onto your haven Your abode stinks; The reek of naïve youth and ***** lust at night And yet I could never expunge the puny shred of mercy embedded on my aortic psyche You win this round For now, my claws will try to cut the life you absorb from the air that pervades your hearth Before they turn to fingers, before my wrath subsides in mortal disbelief of its own vulnerable humanity I shall incite fresh fear and death inspired odes within me once again  And on a fateful humid night, I shall let myself perspire at the sight of infant wreckage burning with fervor and life Your abode in flames of red and azure And if you burn, Apologies. I merely hope your ashes will spark the flame bright for at least a little while Ahh...such sweltering warmth

Firestarter
She scans his face for familiar lines But in the face of her lover, meets a stranger Taken aback, she closes her eyes, urges him to whisper, gently, her name '...' the word is same, he pronounces it exactly the way he used to But she hears the name of someone else; Someone new. Struggling for old shape and sound She reaches for his arms and folds herself an embrace But feels no familiar touch, Her ears quiver no more At the once-soft breaths that gently nudged and tugged at her hair She gradually breaks down; Forced smile by smile, by frown, And steals a final gaze at his eyes And in their reflection, Sees a stranger-smiling, shivering, unfamiliar A stranger.

Strange Lover
Wrapped around with a thick burgundy caress, Night-time sheets enclose your love tonight In the confines of our playful backdrop Ensconced in the near-dawn cusp of night With only color blind kisses And ****** touches I like the way the night around feels grey tonight- Save for your face, The features catch light from all directions from the simple moonlight grace, I like to see the way your eyes lock with mine tonight, Quivering, with your touches, your lips, for a kiss; Burgundy kiss for a grey night.
