The First Ink to Last


Under a cloud of mystery
Where signs of tomorrow
Seem to tango with the ghost of yesterday.

Breathing
A task for kings and queens.

I!
Being a mere servant
Sipping on imagination
To un-pair these parallel unending thoughts
Where dreams hang upon.

For once,
The pen was the story
Now a demon that hovers
As fear inks the tale
Imprinted on canvasbacks
Where battles of its memorability
Makes a buffoon out of my breath.

Dancing on public tapestry
Where notions,
Dress with knives
And to live:
Is a personal mercy plea
Shrouded in eyes with voices
Loud in their awakening.

Time Collide




 Coming in a full circle

The end has always been

Where it began

Having been created out of clay

Only to return to clay

Crawled to adulthood

Only to return to that phase.


History has always carried the sign

Hating to admit its truth

Stifled our growth 

As it always comes knocking

Yet, in an escapee fashion

Fleeing its presence

Hoping it will fade.


Hard knocking

The truth has always found itself tabled

Confronted by a tale better forgotten

It hammers out our soul

Reality holding vice to our lies

Til! We finally see

And binders are loosened.
