Olive

Help me let you let me in
because I can’t deal with the acid rain
that is pouring through your brain.
It is causing too much chaos and strain.
How long shall this matter remain? 

Seriously, we need no Jane 
in the middle lane 
to act like a membrane,
to channel our overpowering emotions
down the drain,

Can you please explain 
why are you radiating cold disdain,
Don’t tell me our love is in vain!
Or do you find pleasure in pain? 

Forget the train,
let’s fly off to Spain
before I go insane!

Transit

One can escape 

the seriousness of the weekend 

by hiding behind one of the booths 

at the land checkpoints.

Hawk-Eyed

I got lost in a swarm of people
who knew other people 
who thought politics were overrated, 
who were constantly for equal rights
for every damn thing, 
and then there was me 
who was trying to look for you,
despite the cacophony of
human sounds.

Lazy

What is it with you
Constantly want me to do 
Things you never do

Different

If this love was
sifted from the ashes of ruination; 
conjured from marshes filled with polluted tears of the mournful;
dripping from the hearts of those who roam the streets of despair...

If it were unconventional, 
and unworthy of a crown
because of its vile and putrid sentiment:
what would you call it then?

Sidestep

Forgive me

for not letting you in.

I wanted so badly to escape

this place halfway between

memories of the past and

uncertainty of the future.

If only I knew then

that it would end up this way,

I wouldn’t step foot into the idea of love.

Not even close, not even when the fire within me rose.

How could I let myself be so vulnerable,

so plagued by a callous human being

bringing nothing of gain,

knowing only suffering and pain?

How did breaking apart become so easy?

Wasn’t my heart hard as steel?

Tea Story

Come, let’s enjoy a few cups of Silver Moon tea 
while watching “You, Me & Dupree”
under the limbs of that old ash tree
where we carved our initials “D & C”

City Lights

I met you in a city 
called Strange Land,
for some Hopeland.
They say dreams were
made here, 
under the streaks of 
Radio City, 
on an Island where 
you’d find yourself 
a lifetime supply of 
Coney dogs,
where Alice continues
to search for her Wonderland 
this is where I met you
in your homeland, 
where you deftly stole 
my view of everything
but you.

Alliance

why’s it so easy for 
a group of ants to 
hang out together
without playing favorites,
without making one 
feel out of place?
let’s say 
one ant from a 
different colony 
drops by.
there’d be no 
awkwardness,
no ants of ebony 
judging its 
red exterior.
blend in, 
you’re one of us now,
one of them
will say.
If only humans 
behaved the same way.

Nebula

If I could carve out
the words in the sky
to tell you how much
I love you
they still wouldn’t be enough
