sometimes i find myself confused
knowing that however much we speak
(however much i say i love you)
i will never know you as well as i do
raskolnikov, darl, hamlet, thoreau.

because i cannot read your thoughts
but i can read theirs.
oh, i can read theirs.

once again, i
abandoned my poetic post.

i ventured out and sought that of which most
would find unruly.

and like so many times before, my misadventures
only have led me

here,
to hellopoetry.
hello, poetry. it's been a while

consumes my life

He stood on an ocean cliff misted by brine in the breeze.

He stood
poised,
unblinking
even as his tears met the sea spray,
eyes flushed rosy in the grey.

No words or sound of any kind
left his pursed lips,
clenched as they were around the
thought of his own
undoing.

Only the crash of waves far below, only the wind licking up the stone face broke the lengthening silence between the gulls, the clouds and the crying man,
all of them suspended.
a Dec 2015
There was a time
when I waited every morning to hear the
soft pitter-patter of your feet,
hurried, like a scurrying fox in my
back garden, just this time by my own front gates.
There was a time
when I stood by the door every morning,
yearning to see your smile and hear your whisper of a
'Good day' promise to me, to accidently
drop the box you softly put in my hands so that you can
pick it up for me. Aren't I sneaky.

a Nov 2015
city of love painted crimson but not
for the passion and hope but
for the blood staining the streets
in unworthy unbelonging abode.
and i'm sorry. there is a place inside
me that aches and screams and yearns
and apologises.
those who committed these acts of
****** are not muslims as they so
proudly call themselves, there is only
one word for this type of man and it is
murderer.
im so sorry
