Cenobite Muse
My muse keeps pestering like a cenobite,
chewing my brain like a hungry parasite.
Pressuring the ink to bleed like acid rain,
catharsis to release perpetual pain.
Hiding poems that live rent free like boarders,
I'm...

Essence of my PoetryHow do I praise your influence, oh Rumi?
For you are the essence of my poetry.
Poet's quote.
I was lost in mournful melodies of birds,
until death brought me back to life through your words.
My sleeping spirit...

LimitedI saw him today,
I recognise him with his particular wings,
And his sarcastic smile,
This time he holds...
A parchment in his hand,
Giggling so hard,
As he opened his parchment,
That became a sort of tablet...
I can't believe my eyes!
It's...

PilgrimageDont ever ask me... Now!
Where am I? Now!
I won't answer your question...now,
All I can say... I'm on a pilgrimage...
Dont you know?
I said it to you twice,
It's my healing year,
I took it without any consultation,
I'm free!...

OmnipresentI wondered today,
As I drove on my way;
How far could I?
Be away...
From your way,
Could I even... Cross that highway?
Be out of your sight way,
Be far away!
Out on a new roadway.
Except,
I found out,
That you are in...

FateWe've been lost,
Between two earths,
Looking to become exalted with peace,
Somehow! This peace...
Was already there,
Between my notes,
Inside your eyes,
Rooted within our essences.
Too late!
Both our souls spoke out,
We were apart,
Both!
You and I were living on different earths,
But,...

Neurodeus DophamineEnthroned Qeis-Layla lay under God,
Propheted a mania in madness blood.
The spark of a padma has not died,
A sorrow Hansel-Gretel lacrimated.
A just far away lady likeness,

A chivalric...

I Will Not DenyI will not deny the groom, the Son of God.
Would you deny what is tangible, defraud?
The way that leads to destruction is broad.
He is the way, the truth and life, light and salt.
He loves you...

Brilliant sunshine, silvery cloud;
looked down and found me lost in a crowd.
Some nights, I flew and followed the breeze.
Some nights, my world turned into a freeze.
Sometimes, I was lost, going my way;
it didn't matter night...

MotherlandMotherland…
I am a desert, barren and hot.
Hoping for the rain, which I forgot.
Once, I was green, golden, and bright.
Nightingales singing night after night.
My fresh breeze at dawn was ever nice,
Showered me blossoms like paradise.
Year after...

Double J - Just JetsamMarred and minced remnants pile high in a storm’s swarm
Yesterdays, hardened-soft, surface where sea’s warm…
Flotsam found, lays tales around, in frayed traces
Another shattered shell whimpers of graces
vying with the sea-swept sands: gloss embossed fades…
Ocean’s dead!...

Just as long as my love was there.
