in the house of parliment many years ago

guy fawkes  had a plot the house was going to blow

he stored up his dynamite in the cellar down below

till the time was right and it was time to go.


but guy Fawkes he got caught before the time was due

the houses of the parliament were never ever blew

now we celebrate this part of history

with fireworks and fires this ancient mystery.


when November comes and fireworks burn bright

the time we all remember what happened on that night.

I'm
still here

I'm surviving

one temporary
band-aid fix
after another

I'm the girl who writes.
I write everything that comes to my mind,
I write everything that I felt.

pain,
uncertainty,
reality,
broken heart,
questions,
and sometimes, nonsense.

They are all sick of my words,
They cannot deal with my poems,

Maybe deep down, they know, that is the truth.
they know exactly, that is the current situation.
or maybe,
they just tired with all of my nonsense.

They can blame it all on me,
because today I realized,

No, I'm not a cynic nor a skeptic.
No, I'm not bitter nor a cold-hearted.

If I cannot write a love story,
If I skip them in my poems,
If I write bad things,
If I curse or intimidate them with my words,
deal with it.

Because one thing for sure,
When it comes to the right one,
I know I can write about love,
about falling in love,
about cheesy romantic things.

*It's not me, it's them.
There is no void
Of space and time
More empty than
This soul of mine

Once filled with stars
And galaxies
A universe
Of energies

Supernova
Solar fusions
Nebulous  
Gas cloud delusions

Streaking comet
Paths revealed
Burned out in
An asteroid field

With no escape
From gravity
This planet of
Depravity

On which no sign
Of life exists
A barren rock
Where death persists

As hunger reigns
With thirsty storms
And plagues infect
In global swarms

A stranger to
This ravaged home
An alien
To all I've known  

My milky ways
Of cosmic bliss
Devoured by
My truth's abyss

A changing climate
Heart imploding
In my blackest
Hole foreboding
There,s  a  chill  in  the  air.
I  just  felt  it  out  there.
Autumn  introducing  Itself.
The  sun  came  out
for  a  fleeting  moment.
Then  it  turned
suddenly  chilly  again.

Shivered like a vein, slashed bright and new
You said, you felt a brisk shift
In the breeze

With the color red surrounding your throat

The vultures equipped mercy above you
The angels limp over and lift
You kaley*

With the color red surrounding, your throat

There are lots
Of dark clouds
In the sky
Snow and ice thawing
At all levels
And a flock
Of crows
Numbers,names,faces, what makes you, you?, Is it what others view?, Can you change what others see, make them realise that I am me.
This early morn
a most beautiful bird
appears at my window
a mockingbird.

She looks at me
her deep darkbrown eyes
wide open gaze at me
I see her smiling.

Her beauty of colour
amazes me
her gift of singing
oh my! Heavenly.

Entirely forgotten
sadness and sorrow
of the night before
this visit asks for more...
