My Friend

Love, love, you tell me you love me

And I love you too. I do.

It was after tonight, when we spoke until dawn

That the work had been done.

I was happy, I was over the moon

to talk at large with you. And still I cried

in the dark lonely room

when the phone disconnected and

I was left to think about how much I hate you.

I’m grieving when I say it, I am struck

every time I do.

There’s no one closer to me than you

Yet I cry as dry as burnt sand

When I think about what you said

When I told you my plans.

But I’m sensitive, truly yes I am.

I really am, I flinch at the slightest

And I ache at the touch of a hand.

I am the charged, convicted with your crime

And it makes me so happy that my sight, unbarbed

still sees you as my friend.

Lies Till They Become Truth

she gossips

she spreads rumors

poisonous as a snake, slithering

I'd say, she's toxic

influencing others

with her negative points of view

she talks and talks and talks

about me

she's telling everybody

lies till they become truth

this is not a game I've ever played

guess that's why I

I'm losing

anxiety rises, come mondays

fearful to be myself

show who I truly am

sometimes I close my eyes

and wish she'd be gone

not sure how we landed here

pretty certain she simply doesn't like me

nothing I can do about it

this is one of those situations

that cannot be unraveled

it's too late

so I pick up myself and move on

she'll still deconstruct me

do her best to tear me down

I'm doing my best

to not pay any attention

to her self-appointed crown

she's never going to be royalty

she's not my queen

not your queen

she's just great at crushing

other people's dreams

influencing others

I'd say, she's toxic

poisonous as a snake, slithering

spreading gossip

she tells lies till they become truth

What would it be like to be a memory?

Is it the ocean to the moon?

Or simply the green of rolling hills

which lead to no end,

but continue to go on rolling forever.

How do I find in the depths of the fields

the inkling of you that once flowed

so freely within my heart’s raging, frothing

waters.

Your little, soft hand within the still soft one of mine.

It stays within mine for the rest of your little life.

Even if you are long gone.

To no fault of your own, but that of your

older and wiser sister who

ignored your pleadings.

You your little self never knew

you were even calling.

Something is in the air,

You were in your home town

and I couldn’t be there.

So alone, your hood was up,

the men around you

knew that your gig was up.

From my secluded corner,

to your quiet, gated street

I couldn’t have reached that

town quite in time enough.

So well loved you need no security,

but dear please never, sincerely

leave your sides exposed

to the knives of those who love you most.

t.t.

Zip the cruel mouth of your mind,

and bury the key deep.

Down, down in a place

where your mind’s well meaning

hands will never find and seek.

Do this,

and you’ll find that

you’re living a life

never lived before.

Stop pretending like

the cosmic ripples that

only you can forge

do not exist.

Our thoughts mean nothing,

give them no heed

or even a pinch of your time.

It’s what we speak that means something,

what pushes the earth

and remembers you as part of the sublime.

When life surrounds you in endless folds

of surprise and longing and grief and stress

and worry and nostalgia and depression;

when it seems that the days are endless and the end of the week is years away;

There is nothing easier to forget than life’s fast fleeting and slippery character.

Because when you let it’s presence overwhelm even the most minute trouble; life’s waters of love, joy and spontaneity will drain through the inevitable cracks of your fingers. It will one day soon be no more.

t.t.

Loneliness

can be both

the best and the worst

sensation in the world.

Knowing you are alone as you

deserve to be

and ought to be

satisfies the soul.

But knowing you are alone

wears and sands down

your wishful spirit,

until your soul too

has disconnected itself from the body.

t.t.

balancing and checking

whether my laugh matches

the melody of yours.

Whether the drawings in my journal

are as delicate and nostalgic.

I let myself hate you.

like you are someone who

killed somebody I love.

I am gaping, unsure.

My perceived emptiness;

One that only exists

when you stand beside me.

t.t.

The Darkness Behind Her Smile

disconnected, impossible

unimaginable today

plenty-four seven

snap it, post it, selfie, post it

living life in moving pictures

cyber hero

social media video story star

try to meet up

offline

what's she like in private

does she smile

like she smiles in her pictures online

does she reveal

anything or try to hide

the darkness behind her smile

Mother

mother, lover

birth, nurture; nature, natural

organic, volcanic

emotions erupting

you are my roots, my earth, my fire

ruler, sorceress

magical, fantastical

hold me, love me, protect me

keep me in your arms

push me, encourage me

teach me how to grow wings

there

are so many, many things

mother

I need you, I love you

mother

mentor, teacher, example

mother

I'm a result of your caring kisses

mother

win or lose, it's you

no other

For All Our Tomorrows

I'm not one to run

I let my tongue throw punches

face my critics

want them to have to hear

my stories, my views, my convictions

fear not rejection

but never choose to stay silent

let them confront my words

throw verbal curveballs

with love and wisdom as guides

I stand, I talk, I walk

among naysayers, amid adversaries

allow my voice to resonate

carry messages of hope and promise

for all our tomorrows

belong to those brave

enough to rise to fight for what's right

might justice ignite humanity's light

and darkness fall

on the shadows of hatred

bigotry, prejudice and discrimination

face your biggest critics

let your tongue throw punches

do not be one to run

Circumstances

and then it all changed

nothing will ever be

ever quite be the same

I've been left...

listening to the same refrain

stuck in my head

replaying layers and layers of shame

what's come to pass...

feel like I only have myself to blame

when did our relationship

get caught up in a silly game

I only hope that...

our circumstances didn't cause you pain

because when shit fell

it came down like a hurricane

no, partly cloudy

I'm talking about historic rain

one thing's for sure...

none of us will ever be the same

Romance For One

discography, geography

you take me to spiritual places

your music, your lyrics, your poetry

...and I'm dancing

I am enchanted, romance for one

one way relationship

I watch you sing, you bring

beautiful music, constant companionship

star of night, star of day, star on stage

I'm never alone, I just...

turn you on when I get home

...and I'm dancing

I am enchanted, singing...

romance for one

...and I will run...

run to you, to you

singing, singing...

the safest places,

in the entire cosmos

and across all universes,

are within the pages of

the books kept between bookends,

the books aligned on a dusty shelf,

and within the pages

of the book pile kept in the corner

betrothed to the return section of a library.

The only noiseless and

invulnerable places in the universe,

where we are truly safe.
