POEM: So how attractive am I?

I  The body I call home isn’t mine. Nor was it ever,   it was destined to be deemed public property  And handled with such disregard for its being  Measured solely by its desirability details  And the displeasing flaws that draw the eye  The strangers eye is one of assessment  With it only to judge your […]

POEM: Ghazal – Explode

You hide you sins in long sentences, and yet you beg me not explode. If you do not hide your lies, you may turn your back – I will, I promise thee, not explode.   Tensions bleed through air and suffocate the innocent, Words not understood nor said by those who will suffer them, they plea – not […]

POEM: Let The Caterpillar Go

A long feast of leaves and crawling in the garden. Hands big and curious scoop me up, Into a jar smudged with dirt. I hear fantasies of colourful wings and sunshine. Months of this, I’m so hungry for change. I don’t care if it will hurt. I wrap myself in silk. Dissolving, Reforming, Clawing my […]

POEM: Fabrications

It must seem an unreachable fantasy to those who lack the  freedoms  to sing into the clouded skies as they realise their lifetime of dreams,   despite the relentless hammering of the jealousy-filled voices below.  Who can reach out their delicate fingers,  and simply caress the horizons of human existence itself.   The societies with such freedoms […]

POEM: Untitled

She is beyond words, beyond language, but I am a romantic, so I will try to explain anyway   how each and every word I speak belongs to you, is made of you, even if you will never read them  She walks with a confidence, undeserved  as if she doesn’t create fire hazards on a flat […]
