"undream" poems
How can I unlove you?
Shall I unsee the luminescent smile you make?
Shall I unfeel the heavy breaths I take?
Shall I undraw your image inside my head?
Shall I unhold our memories instead?
Shall I unwrite the song I made for you?
Shall I untell my heart to stop beating too?
Shall I uncling to my tiny sliver of forever?
Shall I undream of what we can become together?
Shall I unremember the light on your face?
Shall I unrecall my saving grace?
Shall I ungrasp this love I know true,
But the question is...
Is it possible to unlove you?

The cold dash in October
could break your ankle,
on some twig strewn iced river,
gusted by this uneasy Bravado.
And through this
we form a common bond
the strewn and promiser will led their merry dance.
It is better to shut your eyes and see again
and undream.
So rollick in the dew,
the resplendent Samphires will regrow.
For were we not pre destined
to edge towards the tidal marshes
and with dugout boats
voyage through the satisfied.
Tempus fugit awaits
to enrapture our intricacies.

Perhaps you didn’t reject me,
But pushed so far, you
Couldn’t find your way back.
You broke free. I was the cage.
Perhaps, I’m the Monster hiding under your bed.
I left so many words unsaid.
Please know I hope you are happy and free
And your own true self.
Never settle.
By bite and nettle you’ll get by
and Bye.
Perhaps ‘being lost’ is your friend
Perhaps life sans me, the end.
But I still scream like that night so long ago.
I scream & scream
With clawed walls in gray skull
The pain, the loss, all the tears
Your face. Its been so long, but you never fade.
And I scream
Its so hard to fight;
To stay without you by my side
Your thoughts in me replace the screaming.
But the space between our hearts is wide
We drown with no safety net or lifeline
This is it.
The stark unseen undream
What lies between, decays
You broke free.
I am the monster.
I am the cage.

In the bottom of the subway mouth
foamed in summer sweat and the ink
of rodents on chipped slate tunnels,
in the breath of the compassionless lick
of dirt swabs, of empty swayings,
murmurings, square eyes, and slit mouths,
where a trembling roar like an elsewhere
lion is an unfortunate savior, I saw
in front of me a real dream, just barely
(and perhaps not)—but in one of its
moments, I did feel cracked—felt the
sudden unbelievable shockwave of
shattered skull heat, white, blinding, a
quick wisp of eternal time, before back,
to the undream of dreams. This real.
Laughable and despairable. Of hot
waiting, dying lassitude. Before going
on cramped with the others. Nowhere.

Tell me, how can I undream this otherworldly invasion
Of you, defying the stars and gravity within me
Consuming, and corrupting, and kissing my constellation.
It’s in the way your infinite eyes tell me
That I am worth a glimpse of heavenly touch
And how your lips paint the stars in me.
You came in like a comet, riveting! I can't catch
You've driven me with a force I can't deny
And I, have found our pure hands, clutched
And as we rearrange the stars in the sky
My dear, the whole world upon us, is ours
Longing to burst into songs, as of a lullaby.
Cradling the world, in our arms, and I'm yours
And I'd kiss you again, as these tears pour.

Haunting memories
10 dozen different creatures
that stalk the night
119 of them
just looking for a fight
One of them sits
perched like a peacock
upon my laborious chest
and in jest
asks me
*through colours of
blue, red, gold and green
tell us of things
that should be unseen*
Ahhh, no
I think I'd rather stick
to the Back and White
and undream
all the things
that would haunt me
at night

Today I dreamt of last June,
But was awoken into December,
Despite my attempts to impugn,
The memory of you I still remember.

A short glimpse of a disembodied smile,
A run through tall grass,
A sheltering under dripping trees,
A long series of furtive glances,
A rising, a tripping, a tumbling,
Quick snatches of non-solitary
Wandering; these are the
Fading contents of my
Mind today morning.

Loving the Alien
The ghost
The unseen, undream
The fiction & the lie
Tears with why
No understanding
Confusion
Why can’t loved ones
Be in my life?
Is it pride, anger, guilt
Or shame?
There is a white warm glow in my heart
Love doesn’t die
Love remains
Anxious
Lost
Caught in the winds
Between two worlds
There is deep space multiverse
Metaverse
Black holes, whoa
Reverse
There is mind.
There is MIND.
Mine keeping me up late at night.
No sparkle unicorn or singing dolphin
There is static, crackle , chaos & crumble
Machine crunching
Sticky bits in teeth
Overwhelming noise
Whirlwind tornado
No one to hear but me
Crunching teeth
Loving the green glow
Radioactive tunnel
The depth is shocking
The cruelty astounding
But nothing tortures me
Like thoughts of you
Nothing true
Only fiction and lie
Fanciful disguise
You and I
So fake so frightened
So ******* what
Too cool for school
Too cool for each other
Lost in space
Lost to each other
Alien madness
Alien dream
Give up, let go
Come back to me
Drift slowly, languidly
Carefully
There is no pain in my arms
Only peace
There is a white warm glow in my heart
Love doesn’t die
Love remains.
There is no pain

*I see eyes
with a vision of
unfulfilled dreams
out of fear
unable to hear
the intuition
of the near.
Guts doesn't come so easily
Only to lasts long
until its unreal
to make it dear!*
