all poetry is personal
some more than others

to just spread out your private feelings
     in your verse
may not be everyone's delight

but if you choose words
so that the many find their voices
    in your own
you may be lucky
to achieve all poets' dreams

your personal voice
becomes the public

They say,
if you throw a frog
in boiling water
it will hop right out.

But, if you turn
up the heat
slowly,
it will boil to death. 

I did not realize
that the heat
was inching
upwards
and upwards.

I was swimming
in burning water,
in blissful ignorance
of when
it would all come
crash down.

I did not know
that I was boiling.

It lies to us

Car accident caused death
No, a bullet did people!
HE was fresh in life
Only 15

That women at least is arrested
for taking his life with a bullet
when he was fresh with life
only 15

I don't know intentions
behind the worst ending
when a boy was fresh with life
only 15

Hopefully I see him above
when my time has come
when he was fresh with life
only 15

I miss him
that boy was encouraging
fresh in life
and only 15
Today at school they told us my friend died in a car accident when the news clearly stated he was shot by a women
Hopefully it was painless
Miss you bro
I am a powerful beautiful woman indeed
God gave me a voice to move mountains
So that I will always be free
I shall have no fear because he always with me

I am a powerful beautiful woman indeed
My hair defies gravity
God is within me
So I'm ever bless you see
I shall move confidently

I am a powerful beautiful woman indeed
my smile is brighter than the golden sphere in the sky
God created me to be
So I'll always choose me
I shall have self love effortlessly

I am a powerful beautiful woman indeed
Everyone acknowledges my beauty
God's image is within me
So I'm righteous
I  rest in the full hope of eternal life

I am a powerful beautiful woman indeed
A child of God who deserves happiness indeed.

if giving birth
were gentle
as parted lips
sighing
n   e   w   b   o   r   n
into existence

every god
would be a Mother
Loneliness is...

When one feels
alone in crowds
Still try to
spread fake smiles

When one starts
to think of past
without any reason
Still await for coming
the spring season

When one tries
to keep so much
busy with works
Which don't have
fruitful visions

When one becomes
so much social
media friendly
Which takes away
normal living
