A new gullie is afloat with some trinkets of tryst, the weight of a nimble stone balanced by thrust.
The belief stronger than the fall of an apple, the thud never heard but felt.
My hearth empty beyond the brim, my love weighed against everlasting years.

Rickety Roof



Looking for home away from home;
Not knowing I was home...
The shadow was cast but I was unaware,
Love was still blue but I bled red.

A friend who, to me, wrote:

I envied the stunted growth of a potted plant
I searched the visage of a soot covered mirror
Her dilapitated smile was not suffice
Not was the cushion in the sliver...
I left the fragmented shore of shells
The gullies were broader
The water was deeper
I stood up and out
My insides were yet to be surfed clean.

Missing in Flight

The door was not shut...never is.
but is it ever open?
the veil flutters; i could see the wind take a sneak peek
my hair this time were securely tied.
Ah! I wish a strand had dared to let loose.
I lost the breath I had promised my lungs...
The air seemed full of smoke
I wasn't on fire,
someone had just put it out...

but it remains
within my heart and
my insides burn me out...

oh!
i wish i was free
and this was another FLIGHT

Oh ya! It is not...
I am yet to be free
I am in flight; but not free
for my flight is still to take me higher
the parabola fell short
and my high is still to be justified.

thoughts

thinking is a crime
i am a criminal
the thought of crime gives me the shivers
i have spilt blood
my own, and his
he said he is not a criminal
but how can he not be?
he walked away; on his life
i did too
but i was a criminal; not he

DID WE LOOK AWAY...???

she walked in, i was looking away,
i spied on her, she looked away.
i bit my lips, i wish she was looking away,
i saw her fondle her hair, i wished i could look away.
her eyes met mine, i certainly did not look away,
she peeped into her bag, trying to look away.
a smile curled her lips, i knew she did not look away.
my friends hooted in my ear, i looked away
my cheeks turned red, i peeped and looked away
i fiddled with the spoon, she would not look away
my eyes split apart, there was nothing to look away
she slowy left her chair, oh i wish she would not look away
i followed her steps, not wanting to look away;
i grabbed her heart, not letting her look away...!!!
