When memories of T-Pain fade, And how he sang without an aid, I lean into that small pink cloud That floats above the noisy crowd. The air is stuffy, warm, and high, With no one else but you and I. No logic here, no static rules, No colder truths or rigid schools. It’s only us, it’s you and me, Could we become? Or could it be? The weight of days began to fall, The heavy cost of knowing all. It tumbled down beneath our shroud, Safe underneath this drifting cloud, Where you and me, we are, are we?

Pink Cloud
The universe is a fractured manuscript, a cathedral of paper where clocks split open like ripe pomegranates, their seeds spilling hours that scuttle across the floor like exiled prophets. The sky is not sky but parchment, its blue merely ink stretched thin, and when it tears, it bleeds corridors of fire, revealing an orchestra of teeth gnawing elegies into the marrow of the stars. Time is a serpent disguised as a staircase, each step a funeral folded inside a birth, a carousel of mirrors that shatter into oceans, where every wave forgets its own name. Dreams drip from the rafters like honey made of shadows, their taste both hymn and wound. To sip them is to crown illusions with eternity, to mistake collapse for revelation, to eulogize the silence between collapsing galaxies as if it were a love song. We are chandeliers made of bone, :) swinging above the banquet of nothingness, our lungs filled with moths, our ribs singing like stained glass windows fractured by lightning. And when the final architecture crumbles— when the mirrors eat themselves, when the serpent swallows its last echo, when the sky folds back into the mouth of its first silence— we will stand incandescent, not as bodies but as metaphors of fire, absurd, impossible, holy, burning in the grammar of a dream too vast to awaken from.

Clocks of Pomegranite
[R]ainclouds chew on sleepless cities, Rusted coins hum beneath our ribs. Rivers of static crawl through marrow, Rising—blind birds beneath the flood, Roots drinking from forgotten thunder. [I]nvisible fevers dance in mirrors, Ivory ghosts braid smoke through breath. Ink moons bloom inside the skull, Islands of pulse refuse to drown, Inventing dawns in their own shadow. [S]ilence stitches itself to tongues, Silver guilt drips through glass veins. Spines grow gardens of broken clocks, Stars whisper old courage to dust, Suffering curls, becomes a new seed. [E]arth cracks open its quiet grief, Echoes feed on hollow laughter. Eyelids burn—yet visions flower, Embers sculpt light from ruin’s mouth, Eternity hides in human ache. [N]ames dissolve in molten sleep, Night eats memory, slow and kind. Nerves hum like temples underwater, Naked faith drags its golden limbs, New suns hatch beneath the skin.

R I S E N
My breath, light as feather, words like dust—find it best not to speak too much, lest I seem soft as a feather duster. Dreams of a perfect body, shadowed by many premonitions, permissions granted only by the mountains where I took life by the heel—miswriting heal, and climbing that endless hill toward closure. I saw a fish in a teardrop, a sad smile crossing its face; and it weighed the world on its scales. The river’s currents glistened with depression— so I pushed upstream, crying a mountain’s worth of water. I fought not to wash myself away, lying beneath it all, while an angel kissed my twisted hair; locked my thoughts in place. Perfectly ready to die, dancing to a song of reoccurring suicide, a melody only I could hear. Must entail the full act of dying, feel the strings beneath your fingers— chords played in secret, as if David himself taught me the strum. To be an instrument to a horn, to hone your skills, to feel like a big man someday. Think of this the next time someone says, “Yeah, I’m okay.” So much hidden, beneath that quiet syllable, an entire ocean of grief swallowed in one breath.

Breath as Feather
Last night I dreamed of you, mother-in-law. You were resting by the pool— the one where we once spent our family summers. I crept in quietly, not to see you, but to see him. But you turned on me, your eyes filling with tears, asking the same words he once threw at me: “Did you come here to ruin his life?” I kept asking you— What story did he tell you? Because my parents wished him well, said he was a beautiful man, that he would find someone just as special. Why did you never reach out? Why did you never say a word? Your eyes red, your voice breaking— I told you not to cry. It wasn’t worth it. You’ve suffered enough— you lost a son, you had a cruel husband, you lived for everyone else. And still, you remain strong. You are a warrior, mother-in-law. So don’t cry, not for this. At the end of the dream, he appears at last, smiling. And though you spoke, I no longer heard. I only saw his smile. And I wondered— why was he smiling?

Dream
**Giggle, giggle—swallow beans, Wash the dishes, clean the bins. Mutton, fish, curry, and beef, Taunts, sarcasm, dreams but grief. Sush! The sound above decibels, Buzz and roar—what about tinnitus? Free, independent, no fear of inclusion, No one to assess—but what about seclusion? Sadly rich, with burger and fries, Oh, nobody to deal with—sighs! And there comes Peppa Pig and Panther, All by myself to deal with tamper. End of the day holds no meaning, Reality, delusion, facts, and healing

Life ***** ?
Anxiety, do you think you love me? Oh mind, do you want to be my friend? A lonely stone in the full quarry No chance that it will begin to swim Shadow girl, with your many faces With every ash you take to sin Big voiced tropes steady unfolded A fear to never tell again

Quarry of the Mind
Everything I touch disintegrates into a thousand butterflies, Which makes it hard to love someone, For I never know how to control the flamboyant flapping of their wings. Once the tangential transformation has caused their rise, It's like trying to catch the midnight sun in an attempt to focus on what each of the creatures sings. Their swanly swirling in the air causes my consciousness' demise. My thoughts seem on the run from reason and the yellow insects play my sensation's strings.

A Reasoning
I take deep breaths And plan a ****** To **** the bird that flew Over the crow's nest On a summer night I feel the warmth Of the day not yet done The sound of laughter Is all around me This is cool- I say I find myself lying on a surgery table Holding an apple in my hand I throw it against the floor And landing there It bursts into a million Children of my mind Spreading into every Country on the planet I am the new master As my children grow and grow Still in rags I speak And throw my thoughts into a bin Their work is finished you see Still the sound of laughter Carries on around me Living is easy With your head In the clouds I saw- and still I hear The giggles and noises Of delightful romances being Born These should be mine But they are not mine Such things are little more than Mist or whispers Promises not yet realised My children sympathise And bringing me a woman To sit with me in the tall grass Together we shall Plan a life instead
