and not knowing when or if it will ever slow down.
Your fatigued body can not keep up with its rapid thumping against your chest,
you’re...

An image of the netherworld envisioned by a misanthrope

Mein kampf fraught re: 
emotionally/psychologically challenged

compared to classmates, I felt like a dope
and entertained escapist fantasies,
whereby Miss Rainbow 
(sixth grade student teacher),
though robbing...

dousing your non-kinky hair
with peroxide in hopes of forming curly kinks
and without manipulation
the matted strands
finally intertwine
except your Peroxide Dreads
don’t resemble mind
            limp and still...

Might she be Alkaiya, the Goddess’s Mistress of War?
Is she still to be alive, from the thousand years before?

Yet she stood dumbstruck, starring...

Dark night, gloomy clouds
Fears of life-controlling the glow of my face, loud and proud,
I pinch my eyes with each drop of rain,
Touching my face,
like pearls falling on the floor,
Tender and hard, strong and yet vulnerable....

Death dreaming

Playfully I kicked the round object.
The round object did not object.
It rolled and rolled and rolled,
While on and on I lazily strolled.
Suddenly I stopped with untold dread,
As I indeed beheld someone’s head.
A lifeless skull...

Zooming out, I take it all in- the big picture
Is this what you thought it’d look like from the outside after everything was said and done?
A flawed image of our wasted youth
I pan in; seeing...

Twas the night of the Ladies League Final and the atmosphere was tense
Only two teams were competing, no loyalties allowed on the fence
There could only be one winner, the team with strongest will
And if you...

Greed left a trail of crumbs for you to follow 
Don't ask why you can't put your hands on me 
I am the deepest, darkest part of the ocean floor
That we've established is too dangerous...

It is this night

They do take flight

To carry out this bloody fight

Through the air, they soar so high

Knowing that some will die

 

Up from the depths

For their last chance

A fight for the world

To rule human...

this is not a drill.
it's going to happen
the end
of you
me
them
they
are going to do it
hold tight to me
and vow your love
swear to never part
until the blood runs cold
you only live once
so hold closer
hold tighter
hold longer
you don't...

I am seated in a bed-like rock
Under the foothills this is a single block

The Sun rises behind my back
Though I face hills in the west, its rise I could track

The dawn delightfully unfurl
Mother nature decorates...

Our dinner, boiled to death root vegetables, we swallow in silence as night closes-in on the school. The co-opted Buddhist monastery housing us empties its porcelain thrones into the walled garden’s weedy rear yard. Village...

I. 
they say 
there exist languages without words
without syllables yet pronounced,
like the sharp clatter of fork and spoon and knife against each other
at dinners in our family.
a vase shattered to the floor last night
at an...

A rush of force hits my face 
As bare skin touches bare skin 
And all feeling escapes from my now raw cheek
The stinging subsides but now my heart is pounding hard and loud
He will hear...

Last year we went shopping on Halloween
To find a new car for my lovely queen

Sadly when we arrived onto the lot
A ghastly salesman appeared on the spot

He thrust his hand in too close to my...

Congratulations Billy
 
There was the usual exchange of foul words and light shoving around,
but then "Windy" rushed Billy and threw him down to the ground.
He sat on Billy's chest...

Gentle fingers traced the firm jaw as she gazes into his eyes

They draw closer to share a breath as their hearts beat as one

His grip on her shoulder is firm, as he strokes her delicate...

-3/7/14 and 5/2/14-
The waves of the sea and the screeching of the seagulls 
Mix together like coffee and cream
I feel like I’m livin’ a dream
I walk barefoot on the warm, warm sand
I don’t really understand
Why...

His life is moving, he wants it to rest,
His thoughts are open, his bare breast!

He is alone seated at his desk – his thoughts fly,
He smiles alone to himself as her images flash by,

Then suddenly...

Grief stricken days.
My depressed ways.
Love never stays.
My depressed ways.

Beyond the shadows that mirk lifelessly towards my essence, I knew it was just a matter of time before I would break.Too young to die. Too old...

When the darkness finally consumes the remnants of my mind
Oh the broken pieces
They struck the floor this morning at dusk
Cutting my toes
Leaving butter and blood to intermingle
Like cutting away at human flesh
To match this unreachable...

Its rusting blades slowly turn at the whim of every passing breeze.
It has...
