Yin And Yang Souls
Chaos and anguish,
Is attractive to mundane peace,
Loving each other,
Then poisoning the other slowly,
Because your energies are not twin,
They are karmic,
Every kiss is another spec of fear,
From the deepest depths of your souls
Insecurity rings within your ears,
We love people who destroy us,
Because it's in our nature,
Danger is more intense,
Than a healthy relationship,
You never know what he will do next,
It's polarity but in a human way,
The sex erases all of the hurtful thing's he could ever say,
In the end you'll be left crying again
It's a pattern,
Horrible and beautiful cycles that never end,
Generations of pain,
Because we are conditioned to be this way,
By the universe's hand,
We are broken humans.
Thanks to those who’ve supported me over the years
I've worked on my poetry book "Dark Fruit" for more than 10 years. It could not have been published had I not gotten the support I did from fellow Prosers. Thank you.

Death of a Star
We dream, as a vast galaxy there is.
We, as a light of our own, become each sun's of a planet,
for shall we brighten what we believe of what was ours.
I once wondered,
Looking beyond the surface, gazing to where those little lights lead to, for whom they brighten their own.
We became a phenomena, a tragic ballad echoing in an abandoned stage.
A lonely star, dimmer than what they are from yesterday,
But it seems, those who had planets kept being their light.
How I wished, I could be a light of your own
And it seems, as how much I tried, I'm dimmer from who I was yesterday.
A dream, of course it's only a dream.
How I wished, this could have been true.
won’t you
won't you stay
to watch the leaves swirl around my feet
and tell me i'm a girl
and sometimes i feel pretty
and sometimes i act dumb
and sometimes
most times
i don't believe any of it
because
i'm not sure i'm allowed
won't you stay
to watch the roses bloom under my feet
i've never asked anyone to stay
just
read a few of my
poetry thoughts, and you'll believe me
so know,
please,
that I won't ever ask
but at the same time
you're in my dreams,
which makes everything realer, in a roundabout sort of way
so tell me if i'm alive
or if i'm capable of growing flowers
from the inside out
cause sometimes
most times
i don't believe any of it
and
in my dreams i ask
won't you stay
Marshmallow Memories
Shed your snakeskin,
no softness inside -
a puffed up hornet
of inflated air.
Fluffy, puffy face
darkened with scowls,
mouthing cotton tips
of anger, no pride.
Squishy, doughy
marshmellow memories
never say please.
Inflated lungs gasping
ripping stuffing
out of my pillows.
Rabbits with soiled fur
and encrypted messages.
Pot boils over -
bubbles of rage.
Wet heat
brands my chest,
unkind erratic dirt
spewing roughly -
a geyser in air,
I run for cover
and hide in the dark
fleeing swollen corpse,
bloating and rotting
like a fluffy bug
squashed under my feet.
The Meaning Of Life
Life has no meaning,
When you've already died.
It's just the remains of the body.
But your soul's not inside.
The heart's not pumping.
The brain's not understanding.
You carry on lifelessly.
There's no misunderstanding.
But if there's no meaning,
No motive or inspiration,
How do some continue.
For the full duration.
I've been through it all.
The living, the dying.
But I can't seem to hold on.
So I let go crying.
I can't handle the hate
Leaking from the pores
Of the faces all around me
Their words a deafening roar
Crowds pushing in crowds
Each inch another war
From one side to the other
Loathing laps at every shore
Shriveled hearts still beating
Raping countries to their cores
People dying in the streets
Their last cries ignored
Bodies swept away
Taken by the hoards
Treated like they're minor
Just a simple cold sore
Communities are bleeding
The riots keep the score
Vultures circle overhead
Helicopter carnivores
Each side thinks it's winning
But death stands in all doors
And at the bitter end
All blood hits the floor
Love is out of stock
One lonely day I got really crazy
I just wanted to feel a little warm feeling of love
I thought to quench my thirst
By something
As love is out of stock these days
in humans
I went to the most expensive branded store
and asked
Could I get something made for love ?
But they replied sorry mam
Love is out of fashion these days
I went to biggest jewlerery shop
and asked
Could I get something made out of love ?
They replied sorry mam
Love is more expensive than gold and diamonds
Then
I went to the biggest cake and chocolate shop
and requested
Could I get a sweet cake or some love chocolates ?
They replied sorry mam
Sweet cake could cause you sugar
Busy people do not buy love chocolates
We have stopped making them
Frustrated and drained I sat beside a beggar on the foot path
Tears were dripping from eyes to my lips
Some brave tears were jumping from lips to my arms and hands
After some time I gathered myself and stood up
The beggar looked in my eyes and said a silent request
I gave money to the beggar and smiled
In return he smiled and tapped me with LOVE
she was a wildflower,
her petals bent into uneven halves
when you forgot for a second
how to treat her right,
how to be careful because anger leads to terrible things,
and dug fingers into palm
while revisiting some pain
that she didn't know about.
like a flower
she didn't ask
but took the pain
and though she bruised
she trusted you a second time.
her stalk
you held onto
when you were trying to be a careful, patient man
as your father had taught you to,
and didn’t want to hurt her.
her scent
you filled your empty skin with
and wore like a winter coat,
hoping it hid the smell
of other women
in the grit beneath your fingernails
and in the grooves of your back
and in your unwashed hair.
her colour
you lay in bed with
and held hands with,
letting it rub onto your skin
until you, too,
were coloured with wonderful things like warmth and welcoming
and some joyous, half-hidden withering.
like a flower,
she didn't last long
and you knew better than to wish
upon a wildflower
but you did anyway.
from the boundless fields
and from under the sun
you picked her
and, promising some better place,
put her right into
the corner of
your flower shop.
she was a wildflower.
