Raven Feels Dec 2024
think you've crossed a line
knowing you better, soured like a lime
I'll just toss it all behind
me, the dose I won't deny
and no, you don't need to remind
me, the fine lines have come to a subside
falling apart
has redeemed the heart
keeping to myself, degrades counting
them petals of a sad, sad serenade
backing it up in my mind's Ether
tickles feel like a fever
by all means
upon me it seems
you entering dreams
leads to "redeem me, oh redeem"
is actually you entering the subconscious
leaving violins, the absolute mess
acting like they couldn't care less
and there goes the hanging incense

silence screeches
more than warning echoes do
the morning preaches
with no due date, no duration to
how long would words be
faking a winter dune
eyes dilate the see into season
clues, knowing well that
wellness is nothing but
unfamiliar warmth, related to
the fatal numb feeling _arise, arose,
arisen upon fragments of
'pick up your own pieces' from them scattered
dooms

I took a look
on what are my options to die
turns out a cluster of Zionists have it planned out already
predating my birth

it didn't even matter
whether I involved their map
or not
it didn't even matter
I wasn't human enough

oppression yields oppression
interest following interest
they're all "resolving" it out, together
under the weather
even my own people
couldn't spit the same letters

I took a look
on what are my options to live
lives dusted to the right
lives dusted to the left

oh, to paint the wall red
with every blood shed
but there was never bodies
heard them evaporate, I dread

Raven Feels Jun 2024
when did we start sharing?
knowing creeps into
the lonely bearing
brought in somewhere the caring
wind out the cave
found me staring

"do you know
how to be?"
I said: "I could do once, maybe"
"what do you even see?"
"glasses on or off did you mean?"
rambling in between
some wants & some necessities
under feet

defeated, crumbling towers
against rural powers
depleted, hungry for life
or devour?
blind to the eyes
to pass the hour

notice my imprecision
couldn't take not one decision
feeling like I'm the one, the prison
after I've sought it hidden

thought it to head out
turns out I'm going back in the think
do they even hear it shout
the shadow right back in the sink

I'm lying downturned upside the wall
knowing every inch of these halls
convincing myself
I'm never ever gonna fall
that I'd rather sit back
& watch them all

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, the truth unfolds in the realization of the LOATHE...

I never understood why
on the first of June
you insisted we each read our
reserved lines
individually
specifically
until now
the concept of curating the ways of the hows
of which our sufferings
came within us
came around
to come about
I saw it today
the blocking
is it okay?
is it too late?
to comprehend the body language of a scene
I couldn't proceed to understand and
the way I see it now
is that we've each revealed ourselves
somehow
without even knowing
and our frail exposure
shall never compete
the duality
the soliloquy
with the double perspectives at hand
for the cage of ours
was your art at a one time
stance
there, still I stand

Raven Feels May 2024
Slippery ground, watch how you walk
Around me, silvery mirror until you
See yourself, hesitant to even
Be someone missing, anxiously to
Be found, powerful confidence, yet
Strangled to a tree, performing the stage, WHAT AN
ANIMATED SCENE!, strident I come, did I
Break your SOULFUL JUNK?, brittle to the
Heart, never been dead, "try 'HELL' once", heard he
FLED!, far, far away to the
OROTUND---what a disarray,
CAUGHT, reminiscent of the ethereal breathy
PROMPT, the one underlined on my notebook stumped in
Gruff, escorted with an angelic
Background, penetrating the dawn's dunes, honeyed
MEMORIES survive, I laugh with them what to
DO?!, euphonious by sound, tremulous by
TUNE, were we even somebodies before falling in
'JUNE'---dismantled some sunshine, was I a raging
SWOON?, well, for me I don't know
WHY---still, they said I'd have to recover
SOON---for you, I think there's no chance to find someone
NEW

Raven Feels Apr 2024
DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, in different shades...

Life
an acquaintance
since January
sought me in its life
for the temporary

Diluted from the lover trance
in its shade I bathe
in happenstance
I pass it
to fade
in a feverish crowd
like a breeze of ghostly remembrance
dumped by the hustle
by all these sounds

We meet silently
dividedly
appointed to exile
sometimes we regret
the rivalry in piles
of overlaid cement
with a nonchalant style

It seems so
when our tired shadows
glimpse at each other's forms
then resume to go

Blocking the inseparable
what a theatrical element
clueless detriment
clueless sentiments
to the flow
not to a ruler's measure
or an on-guard show
------------------------
I guess we've always known
