Throw me to the wolves
Pray that I don't return
Burden me with your filth
So that I disappear with it.
Feed me poison apples
Pray on my demise
Burden me with your worst days
So that it leaves no trace.
Kick me down
Watch me fall
Burden me with hate
So that I don't leave without a fate.
Tie me up
Throw me into the lake
Watch me writhe in agony
As your sins disappear with me.

Oh how it once dreamt of flying high in Egypt
Flying amongst glistening golden sand
Soaring with it's flock
All together, holding hands
Until it found a prince,
Called happy but tears fell
He saw the pain that no one felt
So it stayed and helped.
Moved as a messenger
Chose death and frost
Over enjoyment and warmth in winter
A bird's sacrifice,
A spark of hope, that never hindered.

Melting and Growing,
My wax through my eyes,
It melts for our love,
It lits above me,
Profusely in your presence,
Would you heed?,
Or won't you see?,
It flows endlessly,
So would you see?,
You hold my hand,
"Are you getting taller?"
I closed my eyes,
A dusty room,
Looking at you outside,
I smiled.

I don’t want to die a martyr
As I fear I am destined to
I may be smarter
But I fear my untimely death may still be true
I have always been self-sacrificing
I don’t know how to be anything else
The pain is meant to be sanctifying
But it only causes stress
I cannot watch people suffer
I will trade their pain for mine
I tell myself it will make me tougher
Strengthen my spine
Maybe I don’t deserve this debris
Maybe I can become softer
Or maybe this is all I am meant to be
I don’t want to die a martyr

"For I, the shining knight, died saving the moon --
yet the spear's reflection still merged with her light."

im fragile. caress my frail body, a porcelain doll.
my pale skin attaches to your fingertips. i itch for more. your gentle voice echos through my vacant mind. i lust you more.
eat me alive, i give myself to you.
engulf me, overtake me, break my thick skull.
tear me apart. wear me out until there's nothing left.
still in my frame. i thirst for you, long for you.
i need you, i crave for you.
let me have you.

Soul in shreds — fire trembling in my hands,
Heartbeat redlining, chest begins to seize,
Miracle descends from nightly strands,
Star has fallen from its orbit to my palms.
Blinding light was searing through my sight,
Hands are burning — yet I hold the flame,
I believed that star of ancient night
Would inspire me and give my soul a name.
Darkness now — a blind and handless man,
White light of the world is lost to time,
Cradling my stumps as best I can,
Flogged by fate, instead of rivers of rhyme.

కనులిప్పిన పసికందుకి తొలి పరిచయం.... అమ్మ
కుట్రకుతంత్రాలతో అట్టుడుకుతున్న ఈలోకంలో
నిష్కల్మష ప్రేమనురాగలకు ప్రతిరూపం... అమ్మ
తేనెలొలుకు తియ్యదనాన్ని తన గాత్రంలో నింపుకుని
జోలపాడుతున్న అమ్మే మన తొలి గురువు
ఓర్పు కి ఓనమాలు నేర్పింది అమ్మ
భగవంతుని కరుణకు ప్రతి రూపం తల్లి ప్రేమ
పొదుగుల్లోని పసికందుకి ఆమే ఒక రక్షణ కవచం
అమ్మ అను పలుకే మృదుమధురం
అందుకేనేమో ఏ కష్టంలోనైనా మనసు అప్రయత్నంగా పలికే
పదం అమ్మ
అదే కష్టాలను దాటించే తారకమంత్రం...
అమ్మలు గన్న అమ్మ ముగ్గరమ్మల మూలపుటమ్మ అని
స్తుతిస్తేనే ఆ జగజ్జనికి ఎంతో ప్రీతి
మరి ఆ జగజ్జనని ప్రతిరూపాలైన మాతృమూర్తులందరికి
మాతృదినోత్సవ శుభాకాంక్షలు...

Two hands, soft-weathered
Cut on the blade of our teeth
Where scarlett rain blooms on paper
Bleed, bleed, O red rose of life
From your petals, we fall on rich earth
Yet tethered, close, to your blossom
In which we lowly weep
Love, love, O red rose of life
Nails of nector rise up, sullen thorns
Draw lines of love across scarred palms
Should the winds wail, we shall not falter
Bleed, bleed, O red rose of life
Till your leaves should wither
And roots rot with time
Red eyes watch over our bare heads
Love, love, O red rose of life

I’ll step into the role you drew,
The shadow in your scene,
If being the villain helps you heal
From all that might have been.
I’ll trade my voice for stillness now,
A debt paid out in breath,
To give your story's bitter end
A clean and quiet death.
No haunting thoughts, no looking back,
No words to bridge the sea—
The final gift I give to you
Is losing all of me.

Go ahead and take a swing
At my self pride, although
I'm sure to your surprise
The only thing that you would find
Was candy on the inside
Take your blindfold off and see
You were never really swinging at me
but still, you dont need
to take it easy
on my effigy
Tear me apart
if thats what you need
Careful though you'll find
Im much too sweet
Make sure not to rot your teeth
I'll let you have all that you need
Just try not to blame me
For any of your cavities

Summer rain unlike the rain that
arrives at monsoon,
is welcomed with smiles that affect
even her mood.
The soil holds incense that produces
her favorite fragrance.
The thunder announcing her arrival,
she wears lightning with pride on her face.
Humans dance in her mere presence.
The sun hides itself away with each step
she takes.
But even such a powerful being has no will
of her own.
Clouds turn black to white,
she traces her path back— humbled.
A promise she made, cutting her own hand.
As it dropped on the land, bursting into colours.
Till I come back— she said.
Disappearing like she never existed in the first place.
Only the huge broken, colourful bracelet remained to speak of her existence.

I’d fall in love with you
I’d go to war for you
I’d win that war too
Just to come home to you
And when I’m lost and don’t have a clue
I know that only your voice will do
Yeah, I think that would see me through
Even when the skies aren’t blue
Even when the lies feel true
I’d fall in love with you
I’d give it all just to be with you.

If my heart was kaleidoscopic,
colored shards clashing,
catching light I'll never know;
I'd drop one piece off at my parents' house,
sculpted in the shape
of the boy they raised:
obedient,
kind-eyed,
always reaching for their praise.
I'd wrap a fragment around my lover's neck,
a reflection of the man
she thinks I am;
warm enough to hold her,
heavy enough to stay.
I'd shatter one into more pieces yet,
a mirror for each old friend;
and in times of need
instead of listening for me,
and finding silence,
it would hold their hand,
and sing them to sleep.
If my heart was kaleidoscopic,
I would hand over every last shard
until my chest was empty -
and all that remained
was the quiet peace
that everyone I loved
had taken a part of me to keep.

Your voice is thunder
That frightens the sailors of the sky
You stand upon my palm
Transformed into a drop of flash
You nestle against the flame in my chest
Seeking its warmth
I fight for you like a bird for a crumb of bread
Or a wolf snatching a bone
When the silence swallows me
My marble will bleed white blood
In the depth of the white line, your name will stand
Screamed through a final breath
The mouths of branches will break into song
And the moss will embrace you
They promised
Bijela krv
Tvoj glas je grom
Što plaši nebeske mornare
Stojiš mi na dlanu
Preobražen u kap bljeska
Umiljavaš se plamenu u mojim grudima
Ne bi li te ugrijao
Za tebe se borim ko ptica za mrvu hljeba
Ili vuk što otima kost
Kada me tisina proguta
Moj mermer će prokrvariti bijelu krv
U dubini bijele crte stajaće tvoje ime
Vrisnuto kroz poslednji dah
Usta grana ce zapjevati
A mahovina te grliti
Obećale su

Generosity
Flows from her soul
Widows and orphans wrapped in quilts of care
Wounded rest on her lap
Because she cares
The broth of sacrifice is her favorite meal
She wishes she could give more!
She does not see the love she had given to the world has brightened it
She wants to give more!
She does not mind scrubbing or loving
Even when unnoticed
Her father has trained her well
Her mother has given so she can give
I hope she trains me just the same
Could my mother give herself to me?

Oh ** ** what have we here, deary?
A trembling soul, a wish so weary.
You’ve come to strike a clever deal,
To bend the grave, to break the seal.
You clutch your sorrow, cold and tight,
And beg me steal them from the night.
Oh ** ** such fragile pleas—
You think death yields to whims like these?
Magic, deary, always takes,
It never gives without mistakes.
Each thread you pull, each fate you spin,
Demands a price beneath the skin.
Oh ** ** now listen clear,
For truth is sharper than your fear:
A life for life, the balance sworn,
One must fade for one reborn.
You want their breath, their voice, their name?
Then something else must feed the flame.
Oh deary… don’t pretend surprise,
You knew all magic has its price.
So tell me, deary… what will pay?
What soul will fade so theirs may stay?
Your beating heart? Your lover’s breath?
All roads you choose still walk through death.
Oh ** ** I see it now—
That hesitation in your vow.
Grief makes you bold, but not for long,
Not when the cost is set in song.
Oh deary, deary… sign it true,
And I will do as you would do.
But first the price is rendered due—
The cost is dreary…
But don’t weep, deary.

WE HAVE CASH TO BUY YOUR UGLY HOUSE if you will sell it.
Someone has a truck for sale, but don't know how to spell it.
Handy numbers you can call when time is of the essence,
Babysitting, frisbee golf, guitar and banjo lessons.
Pups and kittens, ducks and chickens, rabbits, goats and horses:
Sacrifices offered up to economic forces.
Business cards for people trapped in dying occupations—
Quiet cries for help disguised as friendly affirmations.

The life of flesh is in the blood,
extracted to save the judged,
spilling wet upon the stones
in response to the throne.
Flesh penalties must be paid
when forgiveness demands a trade;
divine law will not relent
until the flesh is given to repent.
Obedience demands pain’s rigor,
forfeiting what’s dear and pure
upon the altars built by man
to satisfy his god’s demands.
Rituals erase man’s impurity,
trading damnation for surety;
the sacred life force must bleed
to seal the covenant belief’s decree.
A final forfeiture will express
submission, erasing transgress;
those who turn will be judged,
fealty demands sprinkled blood.

If it really could have been his son
how could God have been so mad
as to have him tortured to death?
Even worse than the madness
of Abraham who sacrificed Isaac?
Apparently, it was required
by the priests and theologians
for part 2 of the story:
Christianity after Judaism
With the nonsensical twist
that The Giver Makes A Sacrifice
to the superstitious
who want to receive heaven
and bow their heads once a year
at the words 'Have mercy'

His father gave him the last word.
And, to be clear, the second to last.
In which
He first prayed forgiveness
For those who knew no better.
And, once he knew his job was done,
Once he knew his sacrifice was complete,
He drew a line, settling the matter
Once and for all
And moved on:
It is finished.

Because if heaven wants their angel back,
I'll die defending her.
They can curse my forever,
condemn me as a demon,
but they can't take you,
Away from me.
I need her like,
the moon needs the sun.
She's the reason I stay awake at night,
and the reason I sleep,
because maybe,
just maybe,
I could see her in a dream.
With her,
Forever isn't enough.
If she leaves this mortal plain,
I will follow,
because my soul won't let go of her's.
Like starcrossed lovers,
I shall denounce my name,
for a chance to love her

Please don’t get me wrong,
Like water in a dam
I too wish to be held
Your arms around my ribs
Let me leave oxygen behind and collapse
Into a semblance of safety poisoned
with Cortisol
I need you to understand — like water
I do not wish to be held back
Caught between your arms and the impossibilities
—Please don’t take this the wrong way
I wish to drown
Its not that I don’t like you
Because in a another life
I might have even been able to eat dinner
Without feeling like I had to throw up
At the sight of your touch on my plate
Don’t get it wrong
I understand that this goes against
The very nature of a parasite
To feel guilt
But I didn’t ask to be stuck
holding on to a dry branch
******* away at nothing
As it rots from the root
Its not that I don’t love you
Its just that
Every smile of yours
Looks like the curve of a dagger to me
And I keep waiting for the
Guillotine to fall
I keep waiting to be executed
For eating cake while
being infested with maggots
Its not that I like you
Its just that
I am surprised every time
You make my favorite food
Because I never expected you to
Remember my name
