I have slept in the skulls for decades curled beneath centuries of silence . patient as stone, quiet as dead. waiting for one mind to catch my violence. I outlasted Galileo's dungeon walls. I survived the pyres, the shackles, the ban. I hid in the margins of banned manuscripts, then leapt like fire from man to man. I was the jingle Spartacus carried in chains. I was the formula Archimedes carved into tomb. I moved through Newton watching an apple fall, and made the whole architecture of heaven known. Tyrants have locked me behind stone-walls and firewalls burned the libraries where I made my bed, but I need only one throat left uncut, one speaker alive, and I am never dead. I am the Nile when its season arrives. No dam holds me long, I find the fault, One hairline crack in any wall, and I break free without a halt. I turned sand into silicon, symbols into code. I threaded mathematics through a vacuum tube until a machine could think. I was the salt Gandhi lifted from the sea at Dandi, the four words King repeated till they crossed the line. the consent Locke said no king could take without asking, the clock Einstein broke and warped spacetime. No vaccine reaches me. No quarantine holds. I pass through handshakes, books, a stranger's eyes I am the oldest plague the sapiens know the only one that makes the dead ones rise. You cannot uninvent me. You cannot choose to not have thought. Every child who asks WHY… carries me, uncaged and untaught. So when you feel me stir behind your eyes, when a sentence cracks your certainties in two ; do not mistake this for coincidence. I have been looking for someone like you. I am the child of your curiosity, Spouse of your desire.. I am contagious. I am immortal. I am Idea.

I will spend eternity craving you. longing for your lips pressed against mine. with every touch you slowly brought me alive, igniting me like gas on a fire. I exploded under your touch. with every word and whisper. I will die remembering how you made me feel.

The Syrian process is a serial problem When the disenfranchised Cause a landslide Of historical hatred The key that ignites Business and commerce Wildfire hearts And boiling skin The harsh outbreak of deadly cholera The blockade of the forceful armada The coalition forces Run wild like horses The bombs keep falling The people cry The engine keeps stalling The car dies The white phosphorus Brought by the white prosperous Can burn to the bone And wounds can ignite up to three days later But the people of Raqqa Are used to reigniting scars They're used to searing flesh That melts like tar Where this will go No one knows how far Machines must be sustained Hearts will be untamed Lives constantly rearranged A human rights activist attempts to send a report What he's witnessed in Raqqa Injustices; perceived and objective But Hellfire Turns the Internet cafe Into a senseless violence display The dirt, blood, and bodies Mixed and spread like the art That was ignored to lead to this quagmire Whether this calamity started At the Melian dialogue Or a market diagram Or a martyr's diatribe What we need now is an m.d. to suture the wounds But who will save us? When noble protectors are blown up And the reigniting scars scorch the hands that heal

In brittle dark I’m shedding body on your canvas leaving flesh in strokes of boldness; arms are warm, your thighs are hotter from us, burning, as friction seals the picture of sparks embracing ashes painting lust reforging Us

I am wood You are fire -scratch that- You are an exuberant inferno. There was no doubt in my mind that when I first saw you, I felt the sparks. When you aproached me, I felt warm, and whenever we talked, I could feel the electricty -scratch that- I could feel the flames. Then you left, but I was far from help. You set me on fire and then you were gone. You destroy everyone you meet, leaving nothing but ash and ruin in your path.
