Her eyes shining like hawk beads against the flashing lights and her pearly teeth cased in the lipstick stained lips It was the same routine as usual. The camera was positioned in front of us. The director told the makeup artist to…

Tenacity
It’s been 11 years 8 months 7 days 12 hours ago…. The world forgot but I didn’t Three teachers and a student They saw the child’s silent abilities Foretold what the future may hold for this kid One teacher observed the child’s creative abilities and said she would be a famous artist one day The…

Gospel of truth

Camp fire
It was a lovely night….The stars lighted up the multicolored darkness. Or maybe it was the occasion that made it so special Laughter that echoed through the forest. A couple of friends by the campfire side Singing and chattering to beat of silence Sipping the beer and recollecting the lost album of memories Teasing each…
Hush of the Eerie Shadow
I hardly ever go to sleep but I keep waking up in weird places I have no memory of being. The last few days I found myself in my neighbors garden shed, in the kitchen, on the streets, in the park and even at a graveyard in the middle of night. This is seriously getting…
Weighed down

The irony Watching your food get cold As your crave the plate of someone else Aren’t we all delusional Exceptions upon expectations One dream after an another One chase after the other Do we live to cherish this saturation point of accomplishment Or are we all robots in fresh and bone That were taught to…
Million Traumas
Reality is the biggest b@#tch All her life she was the outsider,out casted race, a werido, a strange girl That failed to fit into the sterotype boxes the world forced her to be in Yet she navigated through the ups and downs From being last to be picked in groups The one that people fail…

Question Mark
I look into a mirror and I see a stranger staring back at me What happened to me I wonder I see my metamorphosis But only backwards Maybe it’s the fear Or the double standard doubts left unanswered At the far Island of I don’t know Comes the tsunami of truth Wiping away the innocence…

Aisle
Smash! The window rattled in fear, the wind howled, and the bolted door flung open. Rain poured in through the side of the screen, drenching the side of mattress inside my room along with the carpet. I will never forget the fierce storm that invaded my peaceful sleep last night. I was wide awake looking…
Meraki
A scented desire that fades with time Rippled existence that merely lives Devil that forgot the ways of evil A shore that never saw a tide coming Ocean that dared to meet a horizon A chapter that was never read Lives in a book that should never be written By the hands that didn’t how…

Nangeli-Abolishment of breast tax

Stigma

The Fall

Full Stop
I am done Trying to give my best Against the odds To see my future goals Burring in forest of unexplainable reasons I didn’t even get the chance of second saying in all this The door to opportunities is locked safe from my gaze The saplings of my hard work have dried To yeild nothing…

Trust Issues
I am lonely in a crowed room Cried the heart Brain kept saying A friend to all is a friend to none But only a friend to his need. Blinded by his greed In situations accustomed to his ways When a player plays his game Creamed with lies On a plate that was never served…
Silent Plague=Depression
A silent culprit of the victims of reality. A cruel unknown punishment of the four chambers of thought. No rash, no fever, no blood tests to scurry people in concern, just a slow acidic erosion on oneself, as insidious cancer, a solidarity experience in a room with your name on it. Its a disease feeding…
Elephants

Modern Man
I guess we are all living in the different levels of “Ok”. The path ahead is a deserted, lonely and troubled.

Ridiculed in this puzzled riddle…
Frustrated

Picked on
These pages full of thoughts somehow grew up with me as the years turned pages of my life. Made me stronger at the thought but still why does it hurt when my thinking pen rewrites it again and again on the paper of mind. These sheets have overflowed with pain and tears but why do…
Guarded Emotions
These flowing emotions that I hide threaten my peace of mind and somehow find there way seeping into words on this paper. Written in pain and in a dark place of thought. “I destroyed everything that’s good for me.”I’m stuck in a spiral of clouds that hover all around me; inching close and tightening. Crumbling…
Modern Santa
A wasted Santa High on pot Broke on cheap love Torn by traditions Living on the beer cans Jobless and hopeless The phrase oh oh oh Replaced by swear words Which I could not write The chimneies replaced with electric heaters So are the pine trees with plastic artifact And so is the family time…
