Poetry

POETRY / I loved you because I did

So go in peace, be free, be kind.

POETRY / Escape

You thought you had escaped, didn't you? / Outran everything that weighed you down

POETRY / Mould

A quiet, seniority in its touch, / A tenderness that feels like it's meant to last

POETRY / Memory speaks

Sometimes at early dawn / You overpower my eyelids / And won’t let me wake up

Hair

I love the texture of your hair and I wanted to tell you about it in far too many words than either you or I are comfortable with.

KHERO KHATA / Making headlines

We'll put up feigned politicians / And their fake promises instead

KHERO KHATA / Bluebird’s anthology

Who do I tell, sir? The walls do not listen, The roads do not answer back

POETRY / There is a point to this, I think

Here are a few things I learned in the one month we haven’t spoken

POETRY / Titled 'Loss'

you don't recognise yourself, / everything is lost like a fish in Lethean space. / you have mistaken truth for love again

Colours

Echoes of your voice ring in my ears / As the world turns scarlet in front of my eyes

Wonder

I feel my rage, ma, a living thing;/ A beast, caged, like me

All that I’d despicably known / Things I wish I didn’t know

All that I’d despicably known / Things I wish I didn’t know–

Omniscient

Skin sticky with perspiration from a long month of June

All that I shouldn’t have known

What I wish I didn’t know is that when your dear friends whisper the word “psycho” behind your back, you’ll grow up accepting it.

The things I wish I had never known

I skip talking to myself for hours / The “me time”, before going to bed

The golden hat

It was not a question one would ask as he did/ With his round glasses at the end of his nose

burnt honey

i quite like the smell of cloves, even more when they're burning/ turning charcoal in front of my eyes

Raw Magnolias

This is a garden, these are my petals; this is my armoring plant

Shut your eyes to dance away the rainy nights

Shut shut let me shut my eyes, for even though / the dawn confiscating the dusk’s shades of greys arrives, / there is no place for me
