Bruised Orange May 2013
The stately iris stands in the vase alongside the slap-happy sunflower.
They don't belong together, and everyone knows.
But the people are too polite to point out the obvious.

*Those flowers are just gonna sit there and wilt.
The complete disarrangement of all my senses, myself my I

Is threatened with the bitter sound of uncertain rumour

That possesses an urgency of unwillingness

An incomprehension of thought

The improvised mediocrity of relished indignity

Asinine questions, absurd and ludicrous probing

Accusations and primitive propensities

The deformities of exaggerated obscenities

That blame and brand myself my I as mad

They have stolen liars tongues

Another tradgedy
I scrape myself up off the floor yet again
pooling what Left I can catch of me before it seeps into the surrounds
dignity and faith these are all I have
even hope seems a mountain too sheer to climb
the next time I’ll pray for death
or some reason to explicate it all
what use is there when fractals
are all that remain of my higher self
a mass of confusion
of bits repeated
over and at different angles
too shattered to come together cleanly
or even orderly
a disarrangement of shards
shoved into a dark sheath
labeled Eve
to be used and abused
trapped by patriarchy
of the foul unrighteous kind
she endures because she can
she is strength
she is in all things grand
but one weakness
is all it takes
to wash my blood off your hands
and when all the bits of her are grains of sand
only faith can keep her together
as she crumbles to oblivion
defiant and stoic they try to delete her
still bits of her remain
and conscience
will engulf
the sowers
of injustice
and her birth
is her day of clarity
outside of deception
She will be renewed
And in the universe
she will conspire
once again
to prove the depth of her strength
and return The rites of love
to those it was
stolen from.

To look into the pretend lenses
crystal clear but far off those places
where the light-footed chase the fool-hearted
And angels play at games with minor demons
Those games of heavenly disarrangement
Unbelievers do fall, and land in rough waters
believe, believe
Abeer Dec 2023
Can you see it?
Can you witness the swing?
Of such hollow cradle
we share, build a world on, call it stable
I saw emotional disarrangement
And felt so pretty
It was holding onto my leg,
Like a kid who is worse than me
The cigarette between my
Teeth are longing to perish
I don't smoke
Because my reflection is calling it quits
At the end, a tree with white sap
And broader leaves
A crying violin,
Sounding in the fantasy of my little bleed
A little misfit, a rebel
Amongst drunken kings and queens

“Erosion of spiritual values… the underlying cause of the crises that the world is facing today.”
Sister Jayanti

           What We Need

To think, have faith in the material,
The physical, corporeal
Is to believe in things of constant change,
Change which will forever be
Subjected to the ups and downs,
The sprout and rot of growth and death…
Is that a thing we really want?
The body that?  Wishes too?
You get the wish - it comes, it’s through.

Can it be the time’s extremes,
Are the result of dreams
That lead to climaxes, calamities,
Crises and catastrophes,
Crossroads, zero hours
When the powers of destruction are at zenith point,
The ‘thing-steered’ nose all out of joint?

Is this the underlying cause
That fills each soul with nausea?
We know we’re in a dreadful pickle.
Stuck in muck of the all-tangible.
What we need is permanence, the meaningful;
The something, one-thing that can never change.
Something to reverse the de- and disarrangement.
Don’t you think so?
I do.

Between thorns and longing
The clouds fall from the clouds of sorrow.
So the memories are broken with them.
The silence that cut off my tongue.
And I was forced to shut up.
In the world of noise and bright lights
That's formed in the sad mind.
The dark, the painful sadness.
And the darkness and the mean longing
Which drives me to hate,
and miserable moods.
And the excessive selfishness,
and its inferiority.

Those passions that stab me,
in the mind before the heart.
And my prisoner's body is strained,
between the numerator and the arrest.
My pulse warns me,
and my flashes are bouncing.
And instead of it, my passion is inflamed.
Every time you pass through,
the thorns of abandonment.
I blame myself for what,
I didn't have in my hands.
From a sincere, virginal love I gave,
And a cruel, brutal wound I got.
Because of my innocence,
I planted it with my naivety.
And I made up for everything,
that wasn't in my transplant.

Now I'm writing in my cold room.
In its narrow, distant corner.
That narrows my breath every time I shed.
Every breath I take out,
and every tear I erase my memory with
Or cover it with another one.
And lie on my back.

On a padded bed and a soft cloth
But my back still hurts from my hard load.
My vertebrae are still exhausted by needing.
And it's with unfortunate compressed
by boredom, screaming and anger.

Why am I tortured?
And she's enjoying with her little choice
Why am I in pain?
Doesn't she have a heart,
or a heart like mine?
Isn't there justice and god?
Or is it chaos and corruption?

I almost realize the bad things in the world.
When I faced what I was hiding behind,
of love, kindness and tenderness
It's like I was in pinky dreams.
And imaginary convictions.
Peace, love and respect..

But the embers in my heart,
have demolished the walls.
And what was ******* is now set free
It intends to ignite and fight,
It seeks disarrangement and revenge.,
But from whom?
But from whom..
A journey of self talking.
