I hate glitter; It gets all over my hands and Takes forever to wash off. And I See it on the subway floors And glistening under streetlights. I step outside And glitter falls from the sky. Glinting in the fading sun Lamps lighting the way. Glitter everywhere I turn, On the street, The sidewalk, The…

He smiles in crowds to hide the ache, A storm inside he can’t let break. He carries silence every day, Like loads no child should lift that way. He says, “I’m fine,” with practiced art But truth beats louder in his heart. At night, he fights the tears that rise A battle won beneath the…

Every day that passes by  feels like an echo,  silent but heart-wrenching, needy of silence but afraid of neglect, regret too, is a fear but who would confess?  The stars lie awake while the clouds gloom in the darkness, I still search for truth in your eyes, but they are as clear as the night…

Dance with me Even when no one’s looking, My heart still beats the same way Thoughts of you swim by like fish A memory like that is hard to erase. From where I stand A thousand reasons come to life, Reasons to why I can’t forget you Peace and beauty are some The rest is…

The bottles fall to the floor in pairs, anti-depressants are a waste of your welfare  and therapy is another quack  to flare up buried sorrows.  Empty,  oh, I see,  this time, the world has turned against me,  I walk in shame  afraid someone might recognize me as another lame flack.  I whisper in shadows  scared…

The first time  your eyes clicked with mine I felt my walls being broken down, my worlds being torn apart, you were smart,  but your smile was far from your frown. You were as cold as ice,  and I thought I could be the fire, if only I had known the bridge burner also catches…

In my memory There are things I wish to forget, The silence of heartbreak The cold snares of pain And a voice so familiar All these my heart wishes to forget. They swim freely Like boats anchored at shore, My heart is but an easel A canvas born to express beauty But burnt in me…

The clock is silenced, The time isn’t, The pain is silenced, The memory isn’t. The thoughts are running wild Calling like a whimpering child, The tattered clothes are lying piled On a corner of the floor tiled. Messy hair, shattered glass, Bruises blue, numerous clues, Broken ribs, fractured hand, And blackened lips glued. Framed picture…
