You’re bigoted and ignorant.
Racist and inhumane.

And yet I must step on egg shells ?!!!

Your brains are scrambled fool

" Hum the dhoondte jisse
Woh kami ban gaye
Tum mere ishq ki
Sar-zameen ban gaye"
now these lines hit me hard.
Rabbi Burns, just blessed,

the phosphate, and bombs


Aimed at, but all missing,

the Ham'as catacombs


Joe Biden is blinkered

  as Gaza is splintered


  But America, never has,

       had any qualms
I watch them perform
their perfect storm of words
heard by the snappiest
of listeners, greeting
this odd cadence with reverence
there is a right way to do this
and in spite of my knowing that
I choose rhyme, sowing my
failure into each line, fine
with the results because
I'm not sure I love
what I'm hearing but
searing in my mind is
not the need for spiting
this form, but a seed of
love for what I'm writing.
The dark clouds
In my window
The bright sun
Blanketing across
Those dark clouds
In my window
Knowing what was coming
Excitedly
Like a child
I ran outside
To capture a rainbow
Instead I saw
Your smile...
Captured
I was
It's snowing in our mountains
all the things that made me fall for you
were so idiotic and dumb
your idiotic smile
your idiotic laugh
your idiotic jokes
your idiotic hair
your idiotic voice
your idiotic personality that was filled with so much love
all of that made me fall idiotically in your arms
and now that you're gone, you've left an
idiotic mess behind.
I look at the door
Hopefully
Every time
A shadow appears

Awaiting your entrance
Breathlessly
Your appearance is
A sunrise to me
A more beautiful sight
I never did see
