I left no stone unturned
now they thank me
for they see
the
sun

Mornings
couldn't come
faster
on days
I know
I'd wake up to

in dream...

Empty cups
of poison
failed to fill
the
bottomless
pit
that keeps
getting eroded
drink
after
drink

Your flame
scares those
who are
afraid of matches
ask me
I've been
burned before
it usually
ends
with a passionate
red
scar

The day you discover
your power
is the day
you unveil
your life's
true meaning,
kiss it with passion
and wedding it
to become
your life long partner

I can't keep my
mind shut
and my heart
quiet
for the key
to locking them
got lost
the day
I learned
that,
"all is fair in love
and war."

He ran his fingers
up and down her spine
like a cello
and with every glide
she released a sigh
that composed a melody
a symphony
that tuned
the night
their night

Break away from the things
that change who you are

Pull the reigns
on your recklessness

Ride through your days
back upright and shoulders straight

Look ahead
squint and let your sight
pierce through your horizon
the vision of your illusioned future
that's as blurry
as your
eye sight

It all began
with a gaze, then..
a thud knocked on my valve
disrupted the blood flow
constricted it
jolting my own chamber of life
with a new life
foreign to my heart
to my being
I opened all 4 rooms
and welcomed it with open arms
warming the cold chills
that have overtaken
it over the years

A constriction that
turned my face red
and made my lungs ache for air
as I took a deep breath
to fill the void
I inhaled your aura
and it nestled in
the center of my being
turning it into
a warm
home

Even the atoms
explode                
when
thoughts
of you
and I
collide
in the
space
Bet(in)ween

(U)ltimatel(y)
is a word
whose control
lies in the
the first letter
and reasoning is
questioned by the last

Your hands
are a silent
story book

It's more than
just silence
when
my brain
forgets
how
to
t
     h      
           (ink)

I fell
for my
own
assumptions
of you

My kisses go a long way
ready for the
journey?

Mashed up

               mash up

                             smashed up

                                             crushed up

                                                          got back up

                                                                       glued up

                                                                               suited up

                                                                                        straight up
A
              G
                              A
                                            I
                                                        N

What would it take
to personify that flame
that burns within?

What would it take
to supply enough oxygen
for eternal burning?

What would it take to avoid
confrontation when your merely
driven by desire?

What would it take to say "yes"
to a question whose "no"
is as apparent as a grey cloud in spring?

What would it take to release
all that frustration on paper
on walls on skin or even
on lips?

What would it take for me to taste
your sins, to fool with them
to sleep with them?

What would it take to enjoy
a dance under the rain at 3 am
all alone as your thoughts
lead the waltz?

What would it take to enjoy
a toxic binge as my neurons
burn one by one?

What would it take to write
endlessly, page after page
of unrelated thoughts?

What would it take for this heart
to beat, like a raging  
jealous lover?

What would it take to simply
find pride in awkwardness?

What would it take to *****
all the poison that your body has
gotten accustomed to?

What would it take
for words to create
the perfect creation?

What would it take for a writer
binge on drinks of inspirations
making love to his brain?

What
The
****
would
it
take?

Leading someone
on
feels
like writing
the beginning
of the
cutest poem
and then
it sudde.......

False assumptions
lead down
paths
of false
expectations

"I feel old", I said

"Time travel" they imposed

"How?", I exclaimed

"Fall in love", they replied

I read the same line twice
and surprised myself
with two endings

Go to where
poetry is aroused
that's where misery
drinks with company
and over-thinking
smokes with assumptions

That's where the heart
over-fills drinks
to the brim
with
"is this right?"

and wets papers
with poetry
that questions
its creator

Type, delete
Type, type, type... deleeeete...
Ttttt, ype, dele(type).. delete.

Type, type type (space) type
deeeleeeete...

Cursor blink ...

Melting frost bites
Exposed porcelain white skin
Weighed down with a dose indoor

I believe
sometimes
poetry
is a form
of
exorcism

It's easier
written
than said!

Time
untimed
makes
things
timeless

Take it with a grain of salt they say
little do they know
that one grain
does
make
things
salty

A blind man
can s e.e
how
I
feel

Put your heart
on hold
take a break

Sometimes
it beats
for the
wrong
reason

"Who is
insane enough
to date you?" He asked

"Someone insane
enough to think" She said

It's more
than just
a smile
when my
brain forgets
how to
process

I like
that you
see me
as your
favorite
color

I saw a man
yesterday
staring at the
birds above
circulating
in the sky

I could see
his mind
liberated
in the smile
that slowly
made its way
to his face

Fear
made me
F$%k
the best
thing
that my
heart
felt

I got a taste
of your mind
and my
taste buds
developed
a thing for
for your
flavor

I have loved you
to a point
where my system
created an orbit
that only revolves
around
you
and you know what
I can
f$%king say it
guilt-free

My eyes
dilated
.

I am not tempted
I willingly choose
I am not sinning
I am committing
I am not hiding
I am exhibiting
I am not wrong doing
I am rightly living
then why
classify
who does what?

There's something alluring about
losing yourself in thought

I did that once, and found myself
falling in love
as dangerous and as reckless as it is
today my heart felt like pouring itself
filling an ocean of emotions

As I sat on the shore, seeing the space
in front of me fill itself with my feelings
I felt my color returning, my skin reacting
my heart has fallen
for life, for her, for him, for it
my heart decided to drug my mind
and let go for once  

Aching to ride with the rebels
to drink with the misfits
to dine with the careless
and to fall with the romantics
I decided to get up
give routine the finger
and walk out
with that satisfying mischievous smile
that I and only I
feel such elation
exposing it

I decided to swing like the olives
in a martini, in a haze of transparency
exploding with colors
as I smash from one edge of the cup
to the other

I feel all my blase emotions
relapsing, transforming, reacting
backfiring and stripping me
of things that killed me
aiming and shooting at them
with bullets of revival
bullets of excitement
that inject my muscles
with steroids
pumping them with whatever it is
that makes them human

what the f*%k is happening
this chemical reaction
after weeks of depression
is exactly what the doctor ordered
Scream, yes, do it

Let it start from your toes
let your body quiver as it makes its way
to your mouth
let your corpse feel the injection of life

Wake the hell up, no one is going to do it for you
rub your eyes, make your coffee
and change your commute,
You're not going to work today

You're going
to
scratch all that out
with a permanent marker
look forward
get your pens ready
this is going
to be
one ****

CHANGE

I thought
less
And gained
more
