But I lied.                            They don't.
Her hands are very small,
So small as to grasp a thousand
TINY WORLDS

While mine are too big,
So big as to grow myself into this singular lonely
DEMANDING one

TOGETHER
Sometimes my fingers slip through and
The too-fast-cars
Chasing the politics
Swaddling the wet rashed babies
Birthed from the awkward ***
The tongue-tied trying
Fall into CONSTRUCTION gaps

We didn't plan our fingerprints.
But what a stupid thing to say.
I was little when I used big words
A W Bullen Nov 2017
A
flame- doom plunge
of full sass waves
stash tears

harsh clatter drags
dishevelled praise
impeccably receding

The
bloom- lunge spray
casts  spume
rashed chandeliers

Tint
Incandescent
cataracts
intelligent
retreat
Rashed Dec 2017
Every time I see you, I smile a little bit.
We could've looked good together, you have to admit.
Your love was a cold wasteland, and I was clearly frostbitten.
They warned me about drugs but why never about love's addiction?
I was so confident that I couldn't accept rejection,
but I accepted and it was because of my own condition.
Everyone knew that I liked you except you, it was emblazoned.
In the flower village, where my love had blossomed,
You became the uninvited guest that my heart had welcomed.
I would describe your body, your perfectly slim figure
igniting my passion for you, almost like a trigger.
The first time I saw you, I laughed and thought you were a low peasant.
Oh how the tables have turned, now look who falls in your presence.
Just having you in my life is a ******* blessing.
Understand that girl, you were so perfect
yet you left me with almost no self-respect.
Rashed cried, knowing she will never come back no matter how hard he corrected.
She was his undying flame that he failed to extinguish.
She was the canvas that he couldn't finish.
She was the criminal his heart let go of unpunished...
So many girls who wanted him, yet he had so little interest,
She wasn't just an entertainment, but a commitment.
What a joke, she gave me the silent treatment,
why? Because my love for her was so persistent.
It was annoying...but for the price of a relationship that might've been resilient...
This is dedicated to the one that got away.

in a forest of colossal pillars,
rashed red by the couplings
of heaven and earth.
a romantic forseeks his hiding
in a play of immaculate spaces.
quiver to the quill of his ***,
secret turn to the axis of his eye.
beauty its pluck and gouge--
rollicking proportions cut
quicker than light through glass.
the pop, crush and night of
grapes concentrated for his
drunkenness alone.
assaying tongue cup to opulent
cup, face slack and lax in uprise--
proud of its sudden pantheon!
fast awake as his own exhibit.
I was desperate and lost and he said here I am come quick your bruised
I ran to him and he gave me a doze
Before I could get full charge of me again, I tip toed off
Ran to find the glitters I once hunted for
I then found treasure and lived a happy soul
In no time flipped, down to the ground I went, bruised again.

Couldn’t move so he came close to me, took charge till I started smiling
Little did he know I was off to make more struggles
I went searching for him perhaps his righteousness but never found him
I rashed and did all I could in vain, in time loosing precious things
Tears flowed in my ignorance for my forever search is what I ignored for ages.
He wasn’t far my, thoughts were
I distanced myself from his Grace
It was only to search within myself though my mind wasn’t natured by instincts
