Elegy in Reverse

 Overwhelmed under ink

Embraced in traces of her

Drenched in an elegy


He whispered a tale

Both strange to the tongue and mind

Yet strong as a scent on an animal farm.


Tilling time to seek a smile

He took his chance

Drawing tears in darkness.


Yet when it was dawn

Another story stood true

Awash with scarred face.


Swashed with emotion

He penned her words

Yet backwards they landed on paper.

Machine Gun Rainbows


With you!

My tongue never runs dry of words-

As it spits them like a machine gun,

Painting worlds from our imagination,

Unbound by the clock's cold reason.


With you!

My feet pivot towards sanity,

Devoting to etching rainbow on gloomy days,

Sparking life into existence when trails press close,

Unshaken by thorns ahead.


With you!

My eyes pierce beyond tangled speech,  

fixed on a future framed in fire,  

yet curious for what flickers in the now—  

sighting tomorrow, pitched in endless smiles.  


With you!

My hands trace the arc of your beauty,  

stunned by God’s chisel, how it carved you—  

flawed, divine, a paradox sculpted in light—  

each brushstroke making my soul take flight.  


With you!

My ears crave symphonies of your voice,  

its timbre a feast, honeyed and raw,  

seasoning my soul on a sunlit shore—  

our voyage etched in grins, forevermore.

Love Hurdles!


In the nude of echolalia joy
Dancing to the breeze of the moment
Driven in and out of crazy notions
Tongue held in tongues.

She drew in air paced
Body juddering to the howling moon
Soul whispering in heaven kisses
Bumping to rambling lips rhythm
Lost in fantasy.

Hand held in soul searching position
Grinding on time into joining her
Seeking reinforcement, to a broken wall
Enticed to every deep end dive
He lost sense in joy
Pleading for mercy in ecstasy.

All Covet, All lose



Of all the words I had to paint

Ensnared with my heart pledge

She purged my happiness in a smirk

Devouring my sanity in a call of heaven

As she gave me a piece of her

In an elusion of a peace offering

Where she captured my soul.


Beckoned to surrender

She held my feet fixated in a render

Thrown into a dice of errands

Robbed of choice

She left my being in yearning

Pleading for a bite of haven

Yet tearing the walls of logic in insanity.


Curving reality into a ghost

Pants torn in broken promises

She rode high on me

& gave an appraisal to my brokenness

Skimming my mind to becoming a grime reapers friend

Yet wishing to rob an arrow & plunge it into her heart.


Tearing the canvas asunder

To reveal the inner truth bled by the fingertips

Feared by the words wishfully said in darkness

She robbed all of me

& left none of me to pick up the pieces

Which she shuttered with a half vow pledge to devour me.

Moonlit Symphony


Upon the vespers stands
We took turns
To measure up baselines
Drumming our soul in a symphony
Lost in Savannah woods
& moon's melodies.

Drowning at every red dose
We preached a howl
As our souls got entangled
Patching emotions in notions
Burdening time.

Bodies, blowing feelings
While filing findings
Duped at brink of innocence
Sang in an evening symposium
Poised to be the life of falling.

Beyond the Horizon


Birthing in a fresh delight scent
We chisel moments in doubt
Crowding thoughts with desire
Which we fear to be sent to reach
Yet in a dare to step on faith
We thaw clouded with questions.

Resentful!
We march on hope
Trumping what can be
With the limit of our sight.

Beneath the Surface


In a game of words
Where resolutions
Sound like a game of cards
We met at crossroads
Eyeing the past with envy.

Trumped upon
We watched what we thought was the sunset
Dancing at the hyper of moon edge
Urged just to step at the brink of time
Yet unhinged to the reality of seconds.

Called upon
We feared morrow as sipped our morales
Pretence in embazzled to what was love
While crowning the moon to be the day
Yet drown to candle under the bed.
