Stagnant
AydanL Sep 11
day breaks
and so does my
back

in a way
unlike that of
movement

making love
awkwardly to
myself through

all my senses
(The taste of tea
A hot shower

Smokey aromas
The sight of it all
No one to touch)

an attempt to
Wake up
From dreamscapes

Recently deceased
and to satisfy the naturally
primal

heart beating
***** rhythm  
   the sirens are
at play

ocean sounds
Motorcycle purrs  
As the sky
   Selflessly brightens

Power over me
AydanL Jul 5
Old roots toughening into spoilt memoirs;

too much attention
without any real love.

(and the joyous times exploring
alone every inch of where I lived,
and who I thought to be on my
side, my level.)

A saga to be continued with no
one involved.

Stay sacred, stay sane. truth you are bound to claim.

Money isn't always certain.
Take a peek behind the glamour-

Power demands lunch breaks,
requires importantly restraint, but to never stop. Infact it is a fantasy.

For it is key to give it up.
Leaders have no need for secrets either.

Responsibilities shared, options
given of which we would then gain.

Our rights, acceptable conditions for striving.

Stay sacred, stay sane.
Keep it in the back of your head.

Goodnight-hello, good morning- goodbye.

Don't worry I'm smoking.
This is my life,
and it has power over me.

Everything is meant to be.

A short while together
AydanL Jul 2023
On the
last day of
the calendar week

the quiet folk sit
at the edge of shore
watching sun set

day and night
meeting in the middle
together a short while

ships hardening
into black silhouettes.

darkness spreads—
sight now set on
greeting the streets

evening cheer
deteriorating into
late-night glimpses
at mediocre peace

Genderless
AydanL Apr 2023
clear-headed as I infiltrate
live spectrum of
pen-and-ink colouring

pleasantly and quietly
imagining where and when
all of this ends

this hood is my home
and I have been here before

home bound, cloud bound
my burning heart will scold,
then cool you down

turning the dial to call forth
who it is you seek

gender-less as the elements
I walk about this place

I see the winches
are miniature from up here
houses have shrunk

various complexes  
vaguely keeping their
stature

— The End —
