vainglory

(no particular reference…)
how pretty the canary
that sole vainglory
singing on a naked tree
how old the words we exchange 
short of a wrinkle
wrapping smiles with a twinkle
look! the angry crimson sails
hear silent wind cry
watch lazy waves, wave them by
this bay of water, pearl drenched
thirsts for your body
most esteemed lapidary

tickles

You know what tickles me? Thinking back of past crushes.
Sacrifice. All this shows is how brutally cold I can be when I’m being practical about things, void of emotions. Goodness I sound like my parents which is ironical considering I used to complain about them being robots. And now it seems I’m being manufactured (by [...]

gr8

I’ve noticed a marked shift. With a handy kitchen towel ( thick and thirsty is the pithy) and a window cleaning fluid, the man in the mirror is brighter than normal. While certain areas remain dusty and murky, I know I’m getting there. ( as my brother would like to say) Give me another semester, I’ve [...]

this order

in a bid to maintain sanity amidst everything I’ve formally decided to turn myself into the prison of your heart. All day long I hear of the intense maundering of your eyes attempting to cuff my hands, chain my body to your beacon of hope. I am tired of staring out of the mirror into the dark cavities [...]

statistician’s woe

Bell curves all day long
what’s that I’m mean?
But I can’t change my mode
I’ll just lie in the middle
The precipice
where my chances are halved
and hope the next standardization
is normal at least

1.) In no way am I referring to anybody in any of my previous posts. I will state explicitly, the subject for future posts if they are ambiguous. (I was tempted to put an unconscious metre at the bottom of every post but I’ll [...]

thinking about purple elephants

it’s amazing how  habituated we are to each other to the point we don’t communicate anymore, we just talk. How cheap words are, dirt cheap, cheap as dirt from a flake. All day long, we fill empty spaces with pregnant speech bubbles even between the lines. Until the spaces that  punctuate our lives become polluted wif txt lik this.

photograpy

your eyes are
shutters, your smile
flashes
capturing the soft uncertainty
of my face
edges sealed
lips enveloped
we rip the letters
strip them aflutter
till all that remains
are beats

bitter-sweet

your hand makes heart of my heart
scooping the leaves we left unraked
baked golden like eaves dripped in setting suns
tossing them by like salad days
(remember the thousand islands we sailed, before history docks )
we bed seeds of joy
watered by tears, bitter as gourds
in hope of replenishing springs
as leaves of memory
awaken gravity
(I was being intentionally vague about everything [...]

fishing with names

the den was the earl’s home
brie is what I yearn for but
mish mash goes the shell
“mur mur,” murmured mona lisa
jam is sweet but his bell sweeter
lead and dance with me
learn but don’t forget gills;
to draw alleys with less paint as
shimmering sisters weep gently
Connect the dots! I promise a week of coffee or equivalent for figuring [...]
