SAY NO

No
No
No
No
No to negative remarks,
No to being rated by low marks,
No to opinions trying to define you,
No to being called a fool,
No to self disrespect.
No to bad negative aspects,
No

Lost

Lost

She's got nowhere to go,
She's called a rebel,
They don't know
That,that's her only survival mechanism,
She feels like an already extinct organism,
She craves attention,
She just doesn't know how to get it the right way,
Don't judge her,find out her motivation,
You might just put her in the right path,in the right way.

The promise
of emptiness
Is no reward for
the miles you
Walked
on daggers.

Retrospect

Retrospect

In retrospect,
dredging up past events
that led to the here and now.
Pending course of actions in which to exact...
Reaching as far back as the mind would allow.

In retrospect,
studying the reflection
in the rear view mirror,
as the present freezes itself intact.
Sifting through past images...
Second by second,
frame by frame.
Identifying overlooked pitfalls
and margin of errors.

In retrospect,
straddling the realm...
Where my current state of mind
lapses into a minute-long sleep.
Sights on the future... Folded blind,
discerning the treachery
of impulsive thoughts and actions.
Diving up from oceans deep,
painting the backdrop beyond paths at
unmarked junctions.

In retrospect*,
every detail deconstructed...
Deliberated against the yardstick
of what's done and the supposed.
Refracted memories snap back clean into place.
Over and over...
Layer upon layer...
Time and again forming
the looming weight
that pulls me to a stumble
into the stagnant puddle...
Of long gone days.

Individualism

Individualism

All the experiences
from life's coffers
I'm willing to take

To commit into text
with deliberate romanticism

My brand of unspoken poetry
with sense
only I can make

To rebut
my mind's
skeptic cynicism

springtide on notebooks

When he asked me to draw something I made little flowers at the corners of pages and when I grew up they bloomed all over my notebooks, today I pick them up one by one, look through the pages to see him and the evenings humming birds sang on its branches.

final rain

...and when you sleep and wake in a world so unfamiliar I sit cross-legged on the floors of my house, watch rain kiss the Arabian sea and west winds wave a goodbye..

Old chap.

No revolution, emotional shipwreck, card games, magic, motorcycle, daisy chains, silk, marbles or your mountain nest and jasmine fields. Come with me.
