If when I stand out in the wild
and I hear the sound of silence
come to find it be a whole lot of
amplified white noise numbing my mind

I'd rather hear the sound of a Mariachi
Band bouncing off the cold and sweaty tiles
of a Public Washroom wall where secrets
lay on bended knees and golden rings
are held at eye level trying to act as a reminder
of what should be good in life.

Everytime** I scrolled down
my Facebook. Filled with AIR.
I thought of congratulating all the
posts but just ended up liking all.

EverytimeI opened down
my door. I saw him, holding
a laptop with cup of coffee,
on the eve of exam week.
I thought of smacking him down
when he speaks of her in his
sanctimonious and witty verbal noun
but just ended up giving him - a big- smile.

Everytime I crossed down
the street of light. I marveled at her
while waiting on a brown side.
In a smoky daylight, I thought
of speaking to her but just ended up
having Bournville all night.

EverytimeI closed my eyes.
I saw you in my dream
waiting on the other side.
And I’ll think of you tonight.
Your memory is like a sweet
melody. It won’t leave my
head. But there is no you,
except in my dream tonight.
And I don’t wanna wake up tonight.
will you be away long, my friend?

I saw your picture, name and r.i.p. next to each other

We weren't close but we weren't far

I feel like my heart dropped more than it should of this morning

I fold my poem
into an intricate rose
still she has no scent
first attempt at a haiku
Wise words spoken,
Sleeping mind awoken,
Social media is broken,
Her advice come through,

I refused to nominate,
As I start to contemplate,
Realising my own fate,
What would mother do,

She would say, listen son,
No such thing as harmless fun,
It's not like they hold a gun,
So why should you go through,

If they said climb up high,
And freefall through the sky,
With no chute to deploy,
Would you still go through?

Why don't you just be a man,
Pass up on their stupid plan,
Not drink petrol from a can,
Necknominate a truce,

Fill a box with hearty food,
Help another lift their mood,
Start a trend on different views,
Help your fellow man,

Time to go and make her proud
As I look into the clouds,
My own trend singing loud,
I did this all for you,
