I’m an imposter
I’m a phony
I’m faker than Barbie

I claim to be a perfectly fine teenager; I’m an imposter.
I say there is nothing wrong; I’m a phony.
I smile all the time; I’m faker than Barbie.

I'm just one big

In distant cloud of dreams,
the phone rings.
“Hello, Hello!” I echo,
with mouth closed.

An answer comes gently
“Wake up its almost noon.
“Wake to partake in day of sun.”
I hang up in mind and roll over,
with smile under covers soft.

In hazy cloud of dreams,
my body twists to align
with present still distant.
Subtle ring enters
mind again.
“Hello, Hello!”

No answer comes,
but eyes open,
as hand reaches for phone lines
still silenced
from past nights aim
at no interruptions.

“Hello Hello.”
I call turning on phone.
“Thanks,” I whisper to spirit
for waking me
from dream time continuum.”
We echo a laugh
at diner table
where we meet to indulge
in a big *** lunch.
This is exactly how I awoke this morning. LOL  A phone in dreams woke me.
So you are lost in dreams so deep whole night
And I long to hear phone's beep whole night



At dawn, I realised, my awakening
Though my destiny remained asleep whole night



I know the remedy, I know the toxin..
What to lose, and what to keep whole night



She might have waited for me to take her back
This is what made me to weep whole night



Sharafat, night is to sleep, not to write
Don't let enemies to creep whole night
Poet's observation and suffering of whole night.

Your "no reply"
in small text
pierces the summer night's
darkness through,
and that dim light
under my nose
might be what
emptiness truly looks like
in its most physical form.

On my phone
I see a soul
No
I see a glow
My eyes start to ache
My bones start to numb
I haven't done anything
I haven't seen anyone

You Can’t Get Me To Lick Your Bones If You’re Never Going To Eat My Phone


I don’t need for the reading of your head
sideways. There’s no book of your gazes in
drugs I fluff myself in front of mirrors to the heavens and become elated, transfixed; I never become ‘indisposed’

you may shift your skin in those clothes I
would never spell nor the words I would never wear across the neck
I will never throw your prose across this
lubricious pottery wheel that governs the

awesome succubus’ coffin of Publisher
Clearing House dactylic feet, I have
a licentious groove and yet I never am
wont for those syllabic toes you push into

the mouth of me. Slippery soot-covered balms of the dancers jocular knot, so I say:
See Spot Run
away from that face of your clock
the beats of your Machiavellian speech

I am understudy to none
In cahoots with only the **** of my soup
kitchen, my idyllic sous chef he takes paradise and irrumates these

suture-battered stars covered in
elementary window wish dust
to poke your fingers with kisses
and undo your shoelaces even

while you you’re weary of becoming
the flat-footed ballerina. There it is
I’ve said it. Beware beware beware beware
when taunting me in your under wares

For I eat lines rare
Petite writhings of flair

I TRIED CALLING YOU BUT...
it went to voice mail immediately.

Does your phone need charging
run down from all your busyness?

Is it lost in a pocketbook,
absent of sunlight?

Has it been left alone to wander
in halls of an endless ring?

Is it longing to hear your voice
tickle it's insides?

Could it be on vibrate,
with tones silenced?

I tried calling you but...
an electronic voice was all that echoed.
making me feel alone.
I reached out for a friend but she wasn't there.
Phone goes off
Like a gun pointed at my head
Dropped keys at my feet
Like teeth or pill bottles

New start in a small town
Pulled apart by foreign eyes
Not like when I disappeared
Into the chaos of crowds

Grew intimate with a tease
Underneath a microscope
All being introduced too soon
Bore the promises of deceit

Paused the mainstream music
Needed to get out of this party
Didn’t need a ******* to leave with
Not drunk enough to lose myself

Drove home silently along lit roads
Careful to turn off headlights
Before approaching driveway
Turned off my buzzing phone
