The nomadic mind
seeks treasures
in the places forgotten
by others
tracing the lost path
under the debris of neglect
these eyes see
what the world neglected
the wandering
has brought me to solitude
where this place can give
I am not lost wandering
10 o' clock morning
saving room for Jesus
but only slightly
picking you up and drinking peppermint coffee
hot
steaming
christmas
petting cats through the glass
of imitated jails
at the pet store
shopping for you
goggles for swim team
no such luck
heading home
sliding under the pillows on the couch
burying my face in the crook of your neck
i don't care about the movie
Oculus is on
you fall asleep while i draw circles on the back of your hand
soft skin so warm
and you
god, how did i end up with
someone so
perfect
eating pizza sitting on the kitchen counter
carbonated drinks burning our throats
laughing at the burps
bubbles coming up our esophagus
happiness
taking you home
leaving the house at 7:15
who am i kidding
we didn't make it to your house until after 8
good thing your dad wasn't home
you probably smelled like sweat and
heat
and spices
fogged windows with writing in them
our names with hearts around them
picture perfect, cliche
but hell
saving room for Jesus was never my strong point

Tonight I read a poet's work
I didn't like a bit!
But he didn't seem to be the sort
To have such a poem writ...

I commented and asked him
Why he wrote the piece
It was so dark and evil
Not like him in the least!

I made an educated guess
That he wrote the ****
To see if people'd "like" it
Because they didn't READ!

I got an answer right away
It was a sad affair
He had done as I had guessed
And planted that work there!

I must admit I sometimes feel
Like "glossing" through a work
Then I think of the time you spend
And feel like a ****...

People PLEASE! Remember!
Make this judgement call
If you can't spend the time to read

... then do not read at all!

Once there was a little man,
A simple man,
No different than the others,
His life was dull,
His face was pale,
A simple man,
Like any other,
No color in his life.

But when he met her,
He wasn't just a simple man,
He smiled
And he embraced life,
He breathed in the life he was missing,
He wanted to travel,
Travel in her eyes
Travel in her smile.

He got lost in happiness.
ANGEL OF DEATH
MATLOOB BOKHARI


I know one day the great wheel will turn over
Just as I came into the world, I will pass away
My body will be buried in the endless  darkness
Flowers will sing hymn of grief,
Morning  breeze will mourn
Lovers will sing mournful lyrics
Rain will drop its tears on my grave
Angel of death  will  sing on my tomb
“He will have no fear
He  will never be alone
He is a lover of Allah’s beloved
He is Majnun al Hussain.”
Confusion in each thought, for so many bleed together
That the thought of such confusion nearly ceases thought entire
Fusion I have sought, but together, they are severed
What is wrought is no illusion...clearly pieces that inquire
Is there rhyme within unreason?
Is there sense in the insane?
Haphazard contemplations in the whereing of each why
The whatting of each who when every when commits its treason
Come and go, too quick or slow, it's sure to quickly come again
Slowly bleeding 'midst the feeding of ideas to the senses
In a sense, and in defense, I've no idea what to say
For the words have all been heard in every way and all pretenses
No matter painted pictures, all will see it their own way
It makes much sense to me, for I live the grand confusion
That so plays upon the mental tongue with which my fingers speak
The order in disorder seems to be the quest of each intrusion
Finding I am strong, even when I feel I'm weak

What now have I to do with thou?
What then will we surmise?
As it were, has it occurred to us
To claim our ****** prize?
Disallow right here and now
That this will lead to our demise
Endure the curse that murders us
Defeating all devised

Legions of sparrows have shadowed my halls
The feathered winds doth shudder my soul
For Good and Evil have come to call
A fight to my death for each shard of the whole
Each dream and each nightmare tattooing confliction
Every caw a new scar of insane
An act of revenge, or an act of contrition
It is, in the end, merely trying in vain

Long seeking for something with much nothing found
I've reached to the heavens from far 'neath the ground
Darkness and light have both poisoned my soul
Both seek to gain the full grip of control

Need there be reason for Death to preside?
For surely, he wins in the end of all ends
Yet, looming hereafter, his presence confides
That there's life in the lifeless for which to defend
A prayer in each lie and a sin in each sainting
Cannot rend the veil of such painted on smiles
For the mask cannot hide what defies contemplating
In a sense, there's no defense against the waiting of a while

Silence constructing and muffling sound
Both something and nothing in everything found
Broken and beautiful wings now unfold
I rise with the sparrows in a gale uncontrolled

No need to get emotional
For rise above the storm we shall
Dividing the devotional
The notion will prevail
With calloused hull and tattered sail
Traversing the irrationale
To reach the unapproachable
Defining each detail
As seas embrace and batter shores
The winds caress and shatter ties
Carrying the ashes
To the places thoughts collide
Becoming snow upon the lore
As seasons change before my eyes
The moment that now passes
Giving hope no place to hide

In no sense does it make sense to me
Despite how things remain the same
However hopeless I may be
I find that much more hope to claim
In no sense, and in no pretense
Can I explain the war within
There is no greater evidence
Than falling but to rise again
Trembling between the drops
Of every tear that never stops
Lies silence in vain
All heart, no gain
Regrets, false hopes
And smiles that boldly shine
How my heart both clips and clops
In gutters and on mountain tops
In joy or in pain
One thing will remain
I dare to cope
With everything that’s mine
Sometimes I have a hell of a time
And sometimes, it’s just a hell of a time
But heaven or hell
Gone bad or gone well
I will not stop
Until my time is due
With every fall, there’s always a climb
Even if standing back up takes some time
For I will not sell
My heart for a cell
My dream, one day, will still come true

I'm at war with myself
I keep telling myself
That all will be fine
And that it never will be
Somewhere high on a shelf
'Midst the dust of itself
Lies the peace of my mind
That once was
That soon will be
With each page that I find
Whether sighted or blind
I still read between lines
In this story of sorrow
Time is evil
Time is kind
I've lost naught but my mind
I know that in time
I will welcome tomorrow
Now I lay me down to shriek
This death of kiss upon my cheek
A taste of curse I cannot shake
This pain of truth the sharpest stake
Your hypocritic travesties
Have only but empowered me
To wage this war and **** my plight
In rage against your dying light

Now I pray me down to weep
Such great misfortune I must keep
This binding rope has set me free
No sin remains to harbor me
Alive in fires of purest ice
As death contrives to still me twice
So swiftly from its poisoned veins
Engraving soul with jagged stains

Oh, how I've paid it down...so weak
So futile, all these words I speak
Such wasted breath upon the masses
Faking selves and kissing *****
How much heartache will it take
For selfishness to finally break
What is it that controls the minds
Of those who tighten their own binds?

Break me down, for I can't sleep
Another nightmare comes to creep
Into the world of waking dreams
To burn the flesh and rip the seams
Such fabric of decay is woven
Lies we've lived, denies we've chosen
Is it regret, or what we deserve
For taking orders and losing nerve?

Let me drown in desert's dust
My skin to crack, my bones to rust
Much better than to drown within
With haggard sight and crooked grin
Mistakes I've made, and pay the cost
I'll never gain all that I've lost
But maybe I can leave this place
A memory that's not disgrace

So, lay me down my soul to sleep
Embraced by light that I still keep
And may tomorrow bring a smile
Through all the pain and loss worthwhile
May I still see the beauty there
And leave a taste for those who dare
To find what madness cannot take
Before we lose what's still at stake
