Authored: December 26, 2022 “The nobility of Loneliness is not something akin to absence of love. I think the meanings have been transmuted and lost. You could be with family or a significant other and still feel loneliness. You could feel the pangs of the lost and the simple-minded nature of dis-ease. “You have lost…

Authored: December 22, 2022 That morning we awoke after a night having funThat morning we woke in each other’s embraceThe sun came streaming in through paned windowsAnd for the merest of moments, you were angelic.But the dream, I could not shakeIt crippled me to my coreA phrase persisted in my mind”The living will envy the…

Authored: November 26, 2022 Feelings are fickle but deeply feltI am not sure what could have been doneThat sharing what I felt could have changed anythingAs friend’s we fell asleep in the same bedOr at least you did.I heard your breaths slide into sleepI almost reached out to touch you…almost.Stand alone, on this massI dreamt…

Authored: November 23, 2022 In another reality, another slipstream.Maybe it would have been so differentWe wouldn’t have these long-forgotten memoriesThat become dreams and nightmaresAs synapses don’t let go. In another life, we were happyIn another time, we were not dysfunctionalIn another place, we were infiniteNow I am a pessimist in this coldest of winter. As…

Authored: November 17, 2022 “When you live in the middle of nowhere, quarantine just means a few less lights on the horizon.”Everything was changing. No one knew what to expect.

Authored: November 13, 2022 For those who are Lost, I will say this:We could’ve had the universe.I could’ve danced on MarsAnd sang on JupiterI could’ve intertwined my fingersAround the starsAnd let the galaxies leap between our hearts.But without you,I’m just floating.I’m floating endlessly around this universe.And maybe you’re just on another planet,In a parallel vortex.You…

Authored: November 9, 2022 In man’s life, happenings take placeSome are bad, some are goodBut all happenings come to an end,Even though we do not want them to end.Some happenings, we forget,Other happenings, we never forget.Memories can fade away,But feelings never will.There comes a time, when people must partThere comes a time, when it must…

Authored: September 11, 2022 The Party only had one rule, listen to the Masters. Obey its directives and do not attempt to think outside the mandates. The information from the Party would tell you who was evil, who to hate and how to act. Anything else was Obsolete.I looked in the mirror and a stranger…

Authored: August 12, 2022 The world is dyingThe paint is peelingThe grass is brownThe air is stiff with the sounds of moansThere’s a sense of endingThe cogs in the machine are slowingThe Sun is descendingThe heat is unbearableThe rain when it falls is acidicThe bones of animals are like mini funeral pyres on the groundGreat…

Authored: August 8, 2022 Ghosts terrorise my soulCan I not see the forest from the trees?Say you, oh say you….Did you not see my pain?Did you dance on my grave site?With one’s heartOne’s heart, oh babyIn One’s MouthAll is lostYou Got nothing more to feel.Tangled flesh and boneMemories pour acidYour heart, your heartIs breaking mine…
