Under the covers,
snuggled alongside a pillow and the vibrations of a purring cat,
music pouring into my eardrums telling me the way I should view the day,
neither morning nor evening,
safe within limbo,
A place for other options,
a way to step outside the closed box world as seen on TV,
pulled out from the matrix,
out from the hive mind,
never alone,
never sad
never fearful,
As we are,
the powers of the unseen,
have spoken to me, called for me, screamed at me,
to leave this limbo and see once more all the truths and lies that leave us bare,
naked and twisted,
One form merged by two energies , chaotic and regulated balancing all to fit in this spirit,
entering the therapeutic pool,
mineral enriched,
bacteria that eats away the dead flakes of skin,
taking the pill that will exhale all toxins,
My limbo has proven secure and possessive,
the strength to leave drains from me through each comforting embrace,
but I have so much on the outside,
the hate I run from gives into my experience,
There is a reason for why the coffin looks inviting,
this desire to let the visitor win,
comes and goes like oxygen to the lungs,
sometimes I forget to breathe,
so as limbo embraces my insecurities,
hides me from temptation,
I am full of questions and answers that don't share the same bed,
all I know is I'm waiting for someone to join me.
(Save me)

My poems may seem like I'm depressed, and maybe that is a part of it (I don't think I am), but really they help me through thinking about my actions and their outcomes,

my body became his pit stop
foolishly, i opened up pieces of me
that he stored shortly
before he left them crumbled
on his night stand

i remember what he said clearly,
lies coated with thick honey
he was sweet only for a second
his words felt like sugar all over me
he always came back for a taste
but I do not taste the same since then

berdiri aku di tengah sibuk pasar
kelihatan ragam manusia
-bermacam

ada yang berpaut
berpegangan tangan
aku tahu rasanya
indah dan sentiasa selamat

di kedai kecil sana ada anak menangis
meminta untuk dibelikan
--umpama masalah dunia, paling besar
tersenyum aku
hai anak, andai kau tahu apa itu resah remaja
dan getir si tua

pandangan aku terkunci pada yang keliru
ditangan nya penuh dengan pilihan
dan aku kenal rasa itu
dimana cuma mahu yang sempurna
sekali lagi aku tersenyum
--mana mungkin ada yang cukup

keluh aku pada dunia
pentas paling besar
dan ramainya pemain pentas ini
ada yang yakin dengan watak nya
yang biasa sahaja juga ada

aku?
aku cuma memerhati
dan syukur
kerana masih punya nikmat untuk rasa riuh pasar

I think I like him,

but I hope that's where it ends

because I do not have any more pieces of my soul to give.

menangis dan berontak jiwa muda
melawan prejudis dan komunis
minda anak kecil pula dijajah
katanya ini untuk masa depan
namun mereka lupa dan sentiasa lupa
dunia ini sifatnya selamanya sementara

diktator terus tersenyum
korupsi negeri negeri menjadi bukti mereka kuasa besar
kapal empayar tidak lagi membawa selamat
malah
--membawa mangsa untuk segala seterusnya

rakyat pula umpama anak kecil
terumbang ambing dan terus merengek
gaduh rebutkan yang tak pasti
cuma ada beberapa yang berani, kan kedengaran suaranya
lalu mereka itu dibunuh
agar senyap
agar tiada masalah ditelinga

kelihatan belia itu duduk
menongkat dagu
keluh resah dan bimbangnya kedengaran
berat nafasnya
--lalu berapa lama lagi?
tanda soal yang tidak berjawab di minda nya
umpama terdampar di laut dengan pelampung
menanti untuk diselamat
tapi masih tak pasti.

seru untuk semua yang ada;
yang masih berkudrat
yang masih waras akalnya
--lalu berapa lama lagi?

melihat kamu meluru laju dan melambai
biarpun jauh, hatimu aku baca
lantas aku bilang maaf
pantas dan cepat aku meluah
jelas setiap rasa aku khabarkan

sayangku,
hakikat dunia tiada siapa mahu sunyi
namun aku harus gagahi jua rasa ini
andai ada hari kita tidak bersua seperti ini lagi
dalam tidur aku sentiasa ku rasa dakapmu
dan dalam setiap hariku, sentiasa indah dengan wujud imaginasi aku tentang kamu

sayang,
bukan kah amaran dunia pada kita sudah jelas?
tentang rindu yang tak bersahutan
cerita perasan yang sentiasa dan selamanya tak pasti
dan sentiasa aku pinta kamu
untuk terus percaya aku

lalu lembut tanganmu menyapa aku
meminta aku berhenti

entah kenapa
dalam diam dan biacaraku berhenti
aku rasa nyaman dalam dakapmu

mungkin ada pekara yang patutnya aku diamkan

--mungkin ragu aku adalah sama resah hatinya

mungkin.

hembus aku nafas kelelahan
membaca bait cinta yg ditulis para muda
masing-masing melempar rasa
namun siapalah aku
mengatakan tidak pada rasa indah itu?

resah kamu mungkin tenang untuk aku
tatkala dunia goncang berebut harta
aku disini masih keliru tentang rasa
kemudiannya, aku melihat lirik mata anak muda yang sedang bebas teroka dunia
indah dan segar matanya
bersinar umpama harapan cerah sentiasa menanti mereka

sempat aku pesan anak muda,
teruslah berjuang demi rasamu
sematkan cinta kepada setiapnya
agar mudah kita kemudian hari kelak

kerana aku pasti
cinta yang tumbuh itu akan bersemi
dan terus ramai...

hingga satu hari, kan seluruh dunia tersenyum.
maka, teruslah.
teruslah...menulis..

"Hey, what's up"

"Oh, you know, nothing much, just hanging with the boys before I have to leave to do something that I shouldn't be"

The I said "oh nice with a couple laughing emojis followed by, I'm about to shower"
and he hit me back with "can I see"

At that point I paused because I know where this leads.

Do I play with the fire that's building up inside of me?

Of course I do, I'm a young female with needs.

So I bust out my ******* and start feeling on my chest,
because it's been a long time since anyone's felt my chest.

He opens the snap video immediately and my heart starts racing when I see his name come up on the screen.

I open it and groan, it's a **** pic.

That's not going to do **** for me.

Now and Then in 2017©

There was a time when I was younger
That there was this constant hunger

Time has passed and the years have flown by
Sometimes joy and laughter, sometimes a good cry

Vows kept under the stars we met
A grandson that keeps me young without regret

Where once I had a great left hook
I now rely on Facebook

Used to compete at a track meet
What I do now is Tweet from my seat

In lieu of at the rink with my team
I’m Linked In to the latest dream

Before, at the diamond with a bat
After, share the world with Snap Chat

Amazon was a great river in Brazil
Now an eCommerce site with a bill

Past, hanging out at the mall looking for chicks
Present, watching Netflix pics

It used to be four on the floor
Instead my best friend is an I Phone more

Many hours once spent polishing chrome
Replaced by Google Chrome in your home

Parallel parking used to be a real pain
My car parks by itself again and again

At the pumps no more
The car is electric and less a chore

I find myself often saying
Is there an “app” for that, and then playing

In conclusion I have no dilution of days gone by
The days of yore are long gone and I’m on standby

To give it all a try
