Midnight ConfessionsFirst, remove the eyelids—
they hold too much fiberglass.
Grind streetlight into gunpowder,
cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk.
Take the sidewalk like heretic communion,
metal-flake wine, asphalt host.
She blinks razors.
Stars break in her clavicle.
You don’t touch her—you calibrate.
Banana fingers, bruised and humming,
plucking vapor off the fencepost.
Storm-laced teeth.
Voice as hinge,
breath as cordless vacuum
throat tightrope over a cheap
motel dirty...

Be BraveGod can give you a brave and happy heart.
He has all creative power from the start.
Give Him all the pieces.
He will free you from the "leeches,"
Those things that leech-away your strength.
With sublime faith you can go the length
Of each day or night in peace and healing.
Like a child, fearless joy you will be feeling.
Trusting,...

True to YourselfBe true to yourself
In joy and sorrow
For only you know
What you feel
Even if not why
So stand tall, head high
And remember to breathe
Free and easy
No matter what others
May think or say
Friend or foe
For they never know
What is both
In your heart and head
As the wind blows
Sun shines
Clouds form
And rain falls
Don’t forget who you are
And that it...

60 MINUTES SWIRLAround the world
There are happenings
Events and Disturbances
Right here at home, Poets are gearing up on their journey of life experiences through their writing
Mindset in so many ways
Passing the days gone by
Emotions surging
Cries into shouts
Needing ears to listen and understand
Words to express
Poets being their own Commentators
As words turn
The mind explores
As highways accelerate
Words become dramatic
Active and aware

Feeling Tired In LifeIf feel tired of life
You can rest for a while
Take a break, settle down
Rest your body, heart and mind
I used to get tired of life
Sometimes, I have been down
I have been blank and lost
But not to the point of surrender
It's normal to experience that way
Each of us has the method of repairing
Of...

Life Must Go OnKeep life moving forward
Even if it's going the way
Not the same with before
Sometimes, be aggressive
To build up armour for self
Sometimes, being gentle
To feel relatable with others
Sometimes, play the fool
To see the true colors of many
Life isn't always good
It depends on whom you turn to....

Life Is Ours To MakeIf you want to do something
Just do it wholeheartedly

INACTIONThe chubbiness of your dense casing
Is an insulator indeed
The small still voice is hindered permeate
The depth of a copious essence
A mind never regenerated
In new known ways to profit
Hence your way is wood as you cuddle it
Time’s river drowning dreams afar shore
As you trot in ways antique
With golden opportune wilting
Hence amity is fog

Sunday, He LivesEarly in the morning
Before the sun dawned,
Women crept to the garden
Asking how to open the tomb,
How to see in the gloom
What do we say to the guards?
The earth shook!
Tremors rocked the city walls,
Leaves fell like rain,
And the guards ran and hid;
At the tomb, these...

In ExistenceI, too,
wish to carry a bullet
for the ducks flying through snow.
I, too,
want to live under neon lights—
blue light still my closest friend.
I, too,
take cold showers
until my hands stop shaking,
snapping red like nerves.
I, too,
clasp my hands after killing a mosquito,
even if blood and genes mean nothing.
I, too,
walk through mist,
loving the snails that move slow like me.
I,...
